The early morning light barely filters through the blinds, casting a dull, gray glow over the dorm room. My eyes burn, and every part of me screams for sleep. "Fuck!" I mutter, dragging a hand through my tangled hair. I stayed up watching the entire damn trilogy just to get those assholes' dumb reference.
I throw my head back against the pillow, frustration building. Well, at least the 'Hela' character is cool. But I swear to God, if anyone even tries to talk to me today...
The door to the bathroom creaks open, interrupting my thoughts. In walks the maid girl, Mia. I swear, Dad must've planned this. I should've had this dorm to myself, but of course, he had to stick me with her. Always making sure I never have it easy.
Her voice grates on my nerves before she even finishes her sentence. "Are you going to shower, Zephyr?"
I don't respond. Why should I? It's too early for this crap.
"Hello, Zephyr? Can you hear me? Just answer the damn question: yes or no. How hard is that?"
She's really testing me today. I can feel my fingers curling into the sheets, trying to keep calm. Dad told me to keep it together. But she just keeps pushing.
She takes it a step further by grabbing my arm and shaking me. "Enough is eno-"
My hand snaps out, gripping her face. Her skin feels cold under my fingers as I tilt her chin up toward me, my thumb pressing just hard enough to get her attention. "You've got a death wish, don't you?"
To my surprise, Mia smirks, the fuck. Her lips curl into a mocking grin, and she stares right back at me.
"You think that's the easy way out?" she asks, her voice low but taunting. "Maybe, Zephyr. But don't forget, you've got more at stake than just putting up with me. You might not want to admit it, but it's only a matter of time before your mom gets brought up again. And what then?"
