Lea's POV
A bell ringing from James and Jacob's room. I rushed upon hearing it.
"What?" i said once they opened the door.
"You forgot the right word, idiot." said Jacob annoyingly.
"Shut up!" i said back.
"You have to. It's the rule." he said again. I turned my back to go from here but Jacob grabbed me instead.
"Order us a pizza. Extra cheese." he ordered. I snatched my hands and he let go. I showed him my lovely middle finger while walking down the stairs.
30 minutes later, the pizza had arrived. After spitting on it, i bring the pizza to the jerks' room. Jake opened the door once i knocked. He instructed me to go inside and put on the floor where Jacob and James sitting face to each other. They playing some cards i guess. I put the pizza down and ready to leave when James said, "Eat a slice so we know you don't spit on it." I stopped at the moment. He raised his eyebrows and i sighed and obeyed.
I sat down and grab a slice when Jacob stopped me. "Take another slice." he said. Gladly i take the slice that he showed which i know i didn't spit on it. These boys think i'm an idiot to spit on all the slices. I knew they will suspect me if i take the slices on my own (they must think i didn't spit on it when instead it the reversal) so they will instruct me to take another slice. I just knew they always take the bigger slices so that's why i spit on the bigger sides. For sure they want me to take smaller slice since they are greedy bastards.
"There, i ate it. Can i go now?" i said once i take my bites.
"Take this with you." Jake threw me some books. Damn these boys, now they forced me to their homework.
"Do it nicely." said James without looking at me (he's taking the spitted-slice and put into his mouth without any doubt).
I didn't say a word and just take the books. My shoulders bumped into Jake's since he's standing at the doorway but i don't give a damn. I'm gonna destroy their homework. Evil laugh starts to play in my head. I smile while walking towards my room.
***
My last day as a slave. I inhaled happily. Finally, the suffering will be end soon. This whole week has been hell since i lost the car wash bet (but we still make lots of money). I had done lots of things to the bastards. I even do their laundry but don't worry, i'd put some ivy powder on their underwear. Serve them right. But i did get the 'slam-on-wall' from James. Everyday i guess i took punishment. Well, i do make their homework a wreck, giving ridiculous answer which they didn't take it well even when i explained 'it suited them better since they are not best student material', spit on their foods, shove their toothbrushes into toilet bowl, wash their car with dirty water or purposely mix their white shirts with red coloured shirt. I'm 100% believe they regret recruiting me as their slave.
"Hey!" i heard Jake called me. Well, i supposed since they never called me by name. 'Hey' so far the nicest they call me. Sometimes it just 'bitch', 'psychopath' or 'weird girl' or 'dumb dumb'.
"What?!"
He's laying on his bed wearing nothing but his boxer.
"Get me some clothes." he ordered without looking at me. I opened his drawer and just randomly took out whichever look like t-shirt and pant to me before tossed it onto his face.
"Do your shit right!" he scolds. He sit up straight and throw his magazine at me which i avoid it.
"What? That's your clothes!" i said back. Just one more hour.
"Where do you think you're going?" he said while rummaging through his drawer (i guess the ones i gave him were not his preferable outfits)
"Back to my room, what else you think." i said without turning.
"Who said you can go. I'm the boss here." he said.
"Meet me outside." he ordered.
"Who the hell do you think you are?" i ask. My eyes open wide with anguish.
"Duh, your owner of course. You are my slave." he said. Oh, i forget to mention that these three idiots rotate their turn in taking me as their slave. One more hour. I grumbled and get out from his room. Like an idiot, i wait for him at the front yard. James and Jacob went out today. Our parents having dinner at their clients' and Luke was there too because apparently the client's son need a friend.
Jake arrived 5 minutes later. Without a word, he instructed me to get into his car. With unhappy face, i obeyed. 55 more minutes. We kept on silence throughout the drive. I look at my phone. Nothing interest me more.
Then we stop. I look around. Why we are in front of a park. "Get out." he ordered. Grumbling, i get out. Jake walk towards an ice cream truck. I followed him but eyeing around. Lots of teenagers like us in here. Enjoying their ice cream at night. Wait, is that one of our schoolmate? Is that her boyfriend?
"Here." Jake shove me an ice cream cone. Vanilla, i guess. I took it without a word. He took a sit at the bench while i just stand looking at him.
"Well, what are you waiting for? Sit. You're not a dog to be told so." he said in the most annoying voice ever.
"And yet you still ordered me like a dog." i muttered. Not sure if he can hear or not.
"There's a tub of ice cream at home. Why here?" i ask after sit besides him. Quite surprise with my sudden question actually. Maybe it's the ice cream effect. Oh,no. Jake didn't answer me. He just eat his ice cream and look at one place. I try to look at it but didn't see anything except two teenagers acting lovey dovey. They are not from our school, i guess. I never saw the girl neither the boy. But yet Jake look at them with full concentration (his lip still touch the ice cream though).
Ting! It felt like a bulb just light in my head. I get it.
"Is that..." before i could finish my words, he butt in "Let's go home."
15 more minutes. I couldn't be more happier. I smile all the way from the park. But Jake's face full with mysterious expression. Who cares. I'll be free. Yahoo!
5 more minutes.
"Hey!" he said when we are on upstairs. I'd already touch my door knob. I turned and the most surprising thing happened.
"Thanks." he said. I couldn't believe my ears hearing that.
3 more minutes.
"Err.." i don't know how to respond to that.
Dush! Something landed on my face. Floury thing. Then i hear a laugh.
"Fuck you!" i yelled, turn the knob and get inside of my room. My head covered with flour that Jacob and James just throw at me. Those jerks gonna get it from me soon!
0 minutes. I'm free.
