Thursday, 4:00, the sleepover begins
My jaw dropped. Because of something I never thought I'd see in a lifetime: A giant mansion.
"T...this is your house?" I ask while struggling to keep myself intact,
"Yeah. Our family's average but we somehow won this house through a lottery" Asami replies,
"You guys must be the luckiest family alive" I say while pulling myself back together,
"No not really" Ketsuya chuckles, "I would say our luck all ran out in this house. Now we're mostly a normal family"
"Ah I see, but still, this is impressive"
"Well, thanks" said both of them at the same time,
Asami grabs her keys from her pocket and inserts it in the doorknob.
"Ready for this Kayden?" Says Asami with her hand on the doorknob,
"Sis, is the "dramatic entrance" really going to be necessary?" Asked Ketsuya,
"Little bro, you need to learn how to do things with..."
She then pushes the door wide open, jumps in, poses and says:
"...STYLE~~~!!!"
"Not impressed" I say,
"Same here" agreed Ketsuya,
"Awww you two are mean. Now I'm embarrassed!" Pouted Asami,
"Aww, sis don't be like that. You'll ruin your pretty face for your boyfriend over there!"
What did he just say?
"BAKA! HE'S NOT MY BOYFRIEND"
"Haha, say what you want, sis" Ketsuya says as he pats her head, "Anyways, I'll leave the rest to you. You are the host after all, and I got homework"
"Haha. Don't be late for dinner like last time ok?"
Ketsuya gives a thumbs up and rushes up the stairs like a bolt of lightning.
"He's fast" I say surprised,
"Yeah. Results of gym class I guess"
"Where's your room?" I ask,
"Biggest one upstairs" she replies,
"What? I'm guessing you sleep with your brother?"
"Well... no. Our father divides us into each of our individual rooms so the house doesn't feel so spacy" Asami explains, "Ketsuya asked for the smallest room. Reasons unknown"
"And how big is the smallest room?"
"An average bedroom. It also comes with a bathroom too"
"That's still pretty big"
"Well? What do you expect from a mansion?"
"Now what's with the limo and driver?"
"Oh him? He's my father's best friend, so we don't really have to pay him much. Plus, he's also the butler" she replies with complete honesty,
"I see..." I say intrigued,
I take a look at the room we were currently in, which I assume was a living room because of all the couches. The mansion had a luxurious feel, yet Asami says her family's living a normal life in it, which is honestly hard to believe.
"Hey Kayden-kun"
"What?"
"Wait here. I'm just gonna change, ok?"
