Today is Marissa's brother engagement party she invited me too.
I'm not too excited to go because of what happened two nights with Diablo. I still do not know what the fuck he was up too that nights. He's been trying to call me but I blocked his number. Yesterday he showed up to my doorstep but I made my dad say that I wasn't home. I'm not ready to confront him yet.
As if right now I am getting ready for the party.
Never in my life did I have to struggle so much with my hair and makeup like I am today. I just need it to be extra perfect since I'll be surrounded by rich fools. I need to somewhat blend in, you know?
"Where the fuck do you think you're going?" I hear my dad shout just outside my room as I passed the hair straightener through my hair.
Geo said something back but I couldn't make it out since my door is closed and his voice is so goddamn deep.
"No senor! Get your ass back in your room!" my dad shouts then right after a door slammed.
I roll my eyes.
Geo has been stuck in his room since the fight. My parents are really fucking pissed at him. His court is in two days and I pray he doesn't get locked up. So far we haven't been attacked by MS but I know they're just waiting for us to try and 'forget' so they can get us unexpected. That won't happen.

"And I am done," I mumble to myself once my heels were on.

Right after, I get a notification that my Uber is waiting outside. Just in time.
I take one last look in the mirror and grinned. I look fucking good!

We finally arrived at Marissa's huge ass house. It is truly amazing. It's grey and white, two stories high, beautiful green lawn, a marble driveway which was filled with expensive cars, and a huge beautiful fountain in the middle.
I quickly call her as I walked into the direction of the house. I let her know I'm here and decide to wait for her in front of the house door.
"Veronica! You made it!" she pops up behind me scaring the shit out of me.
"Yeah," I simply say thinking why she didn't come from inside the house.
"That dress looks so gorgeous on you!" she shrieks almost sarcastically.
"Yeah thanks," I smile. "You look way more beautiful though."
She rolls her eyes locking her elbow with mine then lead me through an open gate that looked like it lead to the backyard. "Come on my parents have been wanting to see you again."
The minute I stepped into the backyard it felt like I had just entered Kim Kardashian's baby shower or some shit. There were a couple fancy tables around, workers holding champagne glasses others appetizers on a tray, and a dance floor with live music.
"Mom! Dad!" Marissa calls out to a group of people.
Two in particular step away from the group to come to us, Mr and Mrs King.
"This is Veronica," she finishes.
I stick out my hand with a smile, "it's nice to see you again."
Both of them look down at my hand almost in disgust. Of course since I'm not 'rich'.
My blood heats up and the hood inside me wanting to take over.
