Arranged Disaster

The Dinner

Since it's been so long, I felt better than before the band decided to hang around with me. Let me introduce them properly. First, there's Mindy, who plays the electric guitar. Next, there's Charade, who plays the drums. Then there's Eagle, who plays the bass. Finally, shade he's the lead singer. You're probably asking where I fit in all of this. Well, that's obvious I'm their songwriter/Leader.

"You haven't sung that song since your mother died," Mindy said.

"Yeah, what's wrong?" Charade asked. I told them everything that had happened so far, from the bitch, to the argument my father and I had, the arranged marriage that he orchestrated because he was tired of my attitude, and my enemy.

"You know I never really liked her, and this is just giving me more reason to go and bust her upside her head," Mindy said.

"He's so wrong for that. So why can't he wait until you find your loved person?" Eagle said.

"I don't know," I said.

"Although I agree, and I don't like him, you have been a bit of a handful," Charade said.

"A bit? The devil himself got nothing on her," Shade said, chuckling.

"Shut up," I said, giggling as I threw a drumstick at him. That was when my stomach started to grumble. I haven't eaten since I got home. "Anyone hungry," I asked.

"I can go for some food," Eagle said

"Ooh and some drinks," Mindy ordered

"While you're at it, I would like my feet rubbed," Charade said

"Your wish is my command," I said sarcastically

"I'll help," Shade said

"Thanks," I said. We walked up the stairs and into the kitchen to get some food. I decided to make some sandwiches and hot dogs. It's not the best combination, but anything will do when it comes to these guys.

"We should add wings to the mix," Shade said. I nodded at him, asked him to grab the wings, and started seasoning them. Shade may not look it, but he's an excellent cook.

"It must suck getting married to an ass," he said

"It does."

"Then why don't you leave?"

"Believe me, I would if I could, but I need to finish school; I promised my mom I would become a music teacher," I said

"I know, but we both know that your mother wouldn't want you to marry someone you don't love," Shade asked.

"Don't worry. I have a plan. I'll tell you when we get back downstairs," I said. We finished making the food and headed back downstairs. Once the food was served, I started to tell them about my plan.

"That's your plan," Shade asked

"Girl, you're crazy, but I like it," Mindy winked

"You sure you want to do this," Charade asked.

"Yeah, this is my ultimate revenge," I said evilly. Seeing them off, I went to my room to nap. I was only asleep for an hour till a wretched voice awakened me.

"Autumn, wake up. It's time to go," Diana said. I turned over to my side while putting a pillow over my head. It was clear that I was ignoring her, and yet she still tried. "I bought you something," Diana said

"Will it make you go away?"

She sighed. "Yes,"

"Permanently?"

"No"

"Then I'm not interested."

"Listen, I know we got off to a bad start, but I was hoping," I cut her off.
