I was waked by the alarm clock beside me. It was purple and blue strips clock, just right for me. Not sure who bought it for me, actually obviously, Benedict I mean, dad. I brushed my teeth, change into a white tanktop, a brown hoodie and a pair of shorts while not believing that Benedict is now my new dad.

I went downstairs seing breakfast is already on the table. Eggs with ham, just a normal breakfats. A note beside it saying: back by lunchtime, dad. He must be out for work. I wondered how fun his work is. Filming every single day, knowing many different people.

After breakfast, I phoned Lilz and Cecil to ask them over. Of course Lilz was really excited while Cecil, he sounded excited too but of course, he did not fan girl.

"Oh my gosh I am just so happy for you Scarlet!!" Lilz hugged me. She arrived about after five minutes after calling her.

"Thanks. I'm just so happy I'm out of that hell."

"Hey girls!" Cecil was here.

"Guys come on let me show you around." we walked around the house. From the living room, to the TV room, to the kitchen. From my bedroom, to the library, to the Swimming pool. At the end we sat down in the garden.

"Bro this house is made for you. Swimming pool for a swimmer like you, library for a reader like you and even a garden for an outdoor lover." Cecil said to me.

"Yea, now I don't have to worry about not getting enough training."

"Aren't you scared that your foster parents will call the police?" Lilz asked. That was something that I never thought of. What if they really did call the police and I will have to be send back to live with them or live in the orphanage? I don't want to leave this heaven!

"I'm home!" it was dad. He came back before I could answer Lilz.

"OMG It's Be-be-be-benedict Cumberbatch!" Lilz jumped up and screamed.

"Friends of yours?" dad asked.

"Erm... yea so this is Lilz, a big fan of you."

"Pleasure to see you." he shooked Lilz's hand which made her smile like an idiot.

"And this is Cecil, my best buddy, aka my big brother."

"Nice to know you." he smiled. There was a honk sound coming oout from the outside of the house. It was probably Lilz's mother.

"Dang it! Why must she come and fetch me in a time like that?!" she packed her stuff and walked out after saying bye.

"So what time are you going back?" 

"I'm not sure Scarlet, probably before dinner..." I looked at him and immediately ran upstairs to look for dad and asked him whether Cecil could go out with us.

"Yes of course, just give me a minute. I need to get ready."

"Okay dad."

"Wait..." he stopped me before I could go.

"Is he your boyfriend?" I thought for a while and answered no. It felt quite weird having your dad to ask you whether your buddy is you boyfriend. I mean it's not like it's been a very long time since Benedict Cumberbatch and I had been in a father daughter relationship, in fact it had only been for one day but we get along quite easily.

I walked back to the garden to look for Cecil. He was just standing beside the pond staring at it.

"You okay buddy?"

"Yea..... your dad let me stay?"

"Yes of course he lets you stay. And please something is wrong, answer me. What's wrong?" he stopped for a while. I saw his eyes getting watery, they were shimmering. His mouth muttered something but I could not really read his lips. His hands started to shutter and finally, he sat down on the grass and answered me.

"It's my brother again." his brother was a famous school bully. He was expelled from a lot of schools and he was then studying in my school. He got into jail lots of times. Skipping schools were actually the mildest things that he did. He also smoked, locked students inside locker and even beating up just any innocent student when he is feeling angry. He even tried beating up a gym teacher before just because the gym teacher said that the way he played basketball was wrong. But of course, the gym teacher won. Not to mention, he hated his family too. Which is his mother, his father and of course his brother, Cecil. He claimed that his parents were always giving him to much pressure and always comparing him with Cecil which caused him to be jealous.

"He was scolded by his teacher yesterday but this time, he did not scold back." he continued.

"Isn't that a good thing?"

"No, it means that he is thinking of a diabolical plan."

"Maybe he changed?"

"Nope, this morning I woke up seing all the papers in the floor of his room with arrows and boxes on it. So now my parents have to go look for him."

I didn't say anything after that. I changed our conversation into another topic until dad was done. He drove us to somewhere near this time for lunch.

"So you guys knew each other since when you guys were young?" dad asked while looking at me. It was sort of like his beautiful eyes looking into my hazel brown eyes.

"Since when we were 3."

"Wow, you guys must know each other very well!"

After lunch, we bought the things we need to redecorate my room. I decided the ceiling of my room should be light blue and the walls should be pastel purple. My bed was a king size bed with a black cover. My closet was huge and was white. My study table was blue while my curtains were white. I wanted to have my own television in my room but dad won't allow me too.

After we finnish all our work, Cecil went back and I went to take my shower. After my shower, I came out to get my clothes, I was suppost to take my clothes in there but I forgotten. I came out from my bathroom naked, went to my closet casually and took my clothes. Once I turned around. It was him, dad, Benedict Cumberbatch sitting on my bed. I couldn't believe I didn't notice him, and I was naked.
