The Perks Of Being A Troublemaker

Chapter 8

So the song is Open Season by High Highs. The reason I choose this song is because it was always soothing to me and calming. A bit slow for some people but I still love it.

Look at all the trees in the light
They are growing all in your mind
All in your mind
Look at all the leaves in the fire
They are burning all in your mind
All in your mind

So tired of living like a kite, kite, kite, kite...

"What the hell is he doing here?" Grace whisper-screamed at Raf because it is midnight and people are literally sleeping.

"He insist on coming. He is very annoying." Raf whispered to Grace.

"Annoying indeed." Grace said, pushing on the word annoying while looking sideways to the blondie boy who is looking around the house.

"Hey! I heard that!"He exclaimed, sounding offended.

"It was meant for you to heard." Grace said bluntly.

"Ouch." Grace rolled her eyes at his over the top reaction. He is clutching his heart with painful expression.

"But seriously, what are you doing here, at my house, in the middle of night?" Grace asked with her arms folded.

"To see you." He answered, grinning.

"Right." Grace said then look at Raf.

As if understood her stares, Raf shook his head."Don't, Grace."

"Don't what?" The blondie asked with confusion.

"Grace, no." Raf warned.

Grace took one last look at Raf then grabbed the blondie's hand before dragging him out of the house. Now, they are standing on Grace' lawn.

"Just to clarify, what is your name?" Grace asked the blondie who looks confuse.

"Darren."

"See? I don't even know your name. Now. Please get out of my house and never try to see me again." Grace said meanly.

The blondie, Darren looks shocked before turning around and walking away like a dog with it's tail between it's leg. Then Grace walks back into the house and slammed the door shut. As soon as she walk into the living room, Raf is looking at Grace with anger.

"What did you said to him?" He asked furiously.

"Just what he deserve." Grace answered, not affected by his anger although she could feel a lump in her throat.

"Great. He is the son of the owner of the agency. Great, Grace. Just great. You blew my chance!" He said angrily before stomping off to his bedroom.

Great, Grace. Just great. You blew up the chance to be siblings. Emmanuel is who knows where. Gabriel already hate you. Now Rafael?

Grace looks out from the sliding door. Wishing she could have her past back. She could feel tears started to glisten. Grace could not be this pathetic. She woukd not cry for someone who don't deserve to be crying about. Then she rubbed her eyes, calm herself then blink her eyes a few times. But even when she is already calm, she could not help but think of her family.

The fall of Hudsons. One gone. One lost. One unreachable. Two down. One more to go.

......

"Faye, do you think I'm annoying?"Grace asked out of blue.
