I was tumbling five times a week,
it was really tiring.

~ALICE WATERS~

Her name was Alice Waters, the older twin sister of Alisa Waters. However, despite being the sister of such a stuck up brat, she differed greatly from her sibling. For one thing, her once long shiny black hair was cut to shoulder length and dyed light brown. It was once straight; now it was in curls. Her dark eyes were covered with blue contacts for the sake of a different color, though her eyesight was perfect. Her grades were average, nothing compared to her sister's. She hung out with the bad guys, skipped school almost every day and got in trouble with the police, all those stuff. She hated being referred to as Alisa's younger sister, especially when she was the elder- by five minutes.

"You! Get over here this instant!" Who she would call her mother called out rudely. The mother had named her daughter Alice, but she didn't bother to use it anymore. Alice scoffed and walked over in annoyance, facing her mother.

"Ugh, her again," Envy sighed and rolled his eyes on Alice's shoulder. Envy, who took the form of a young man with green eyes with long black hair tied up to the side instead of the small green light Elyssa thought she saw. Envy was his title; his real name was Leviathan, one of the princes of hell.

"What do you want?" Alice asked, her arms crossed. Her eyes stared at her mother's cold and hard. This attitude and emotions were the girl, her friends, did not know. The sin of envy took over her the most when she was at home, the source of her jealousy.

"What do I want? What the hell is with your attitude, young lady?" her mother asked. Alice showed no resemblance to her mother whose hair was dyed numerous times in blonde, went under the knife, face caked ridiculously with makeup.

"As usual, she looks hilarious, not worth my envy," Leviathan laughed. "But the way she speaks is annoying."

Alice rolled her eyes and replied, "Not like you would care, oh, wait... You don't." Her mother was enraged and stuck her hand up, slapping Alice's cheek hard. Alice winced softly and rubbed her reddened cheek gingerly.

"Shut your mouth, you insolent brat!" Her mother shouted in fury. "Look at your sister!" Her mother roughly grabbed one of Alisa's trophy and shoved it in Alice's face. "She won the 2nd place in the best of the student of the year award! She couldn't get first because of that monster, though. But at last, she's dead, and my darling Alisa can get 1st." Then, she placed the trophy back on the table gently and carefully.

"There she goes talking about your sister again, so lovely and perfect, doesn't it burn so badly? How much you wish it were you who she glorified," Leviathan started to tempt Alice.

"Yeah, thank god," Alice said sarcastically, rolling her eyes in annoyance. Her mother noticed this and scoffed in disgust, she pushed Alice and shouted. "Be thankful I bother even keeping you here when you are a worthless good for nothing!" Then she sashayed out the door.

"She's finally gone," Leviathan yawned, and he eyed the trophy. "What an item that is so easily destroyed. Destroy it for me, Alice."

"Tsk..." Alice muttered and got up, patted off the dust on her shorts. The trophy that was shoved into the face was shiny and bright. The words 2nd place imprinted in gold along with her 'dear' sister's name. Alice grabbed it roughly and threw it hard onto the ground, but it did not break.

"Well, that sucks. It's hard to break, unlike your sister. I can name so many ways to destroy that perfect figure she thinks she has," Leviathan smirked and laughed.
