"Come on! I NEED you to come with me!"

Nicomaine rolled her eyes at her sister's exaggerated pleading, knowing that she was just doing this to get her way with her. Nicoleen had been pleading with her for the past half hour, wanting to go to this home game, that the university their father owns, was playing that night. It was the start of the school year and of course, Dei University was hosting its first college football of the season.

"No," Nicomaine deadpanned, staring straight at her older sister as she crossed her arms. "You are not going to subjugate me to that-- that-- ugh! Foot-thingy-majig that you always want to go to. No, thank you!"

"But Nicky!"

"Uh-uh! Take Colette with you if you must. She will most likely say yes. But you are not going to persuade me. Nuh-uh. I don't even like that sport! Whatever you call it. All you see are guys throwing a weird looking ball back and forth and running across the field. Again, back and forth. What's so exciting about that??"

"They're really hot and cute guys!"

Trust Nicoleen, or simply Coleen to her family and close friends, to go watch a football game just to ogle the men.

"I bet you don't even understand this game," Nicomaine, or Nicky with her family and friends, scoffed. "You are not going to--"

"DADDY! DADDY! NICKY WOULDN'T GO WITH ME TO THE HOME GAME!"

Oh no, she didn't. Nicky exasperatedly thought.

Coleen was older by just a year to Nicky. But she acted as if she was the youngest of the three Dei sisters instead of being the middle one.

And they say I'm the spoiled child because I'm the youngest. Nicky continued in her head as she rolled her eyes once more, tutting as she walked past her sister and into the kitchen to get a sparkling water from their fridge.

Mr. Theodore Dei, the sisters' widowed father and the owner of Dei University among other businesses, poked his head out from his home office when he heard his name being called.

"What in God's name are you screaming about, Nicoleen?! Can't you see I'm trying to work here! The school board wanted to have a--"

"Nicky said she doesn't want to take me to the home game tonight," Coleen cut their dad off and pouted, putting on the whole show.

Here we go. Nicky pursed her lips in annoyance.

"And tonight is one of the important games, right Daddy? I mean - DU is hosting it so isn't it just apt that a representative from the family attend?" Coleen continued, now sporting a hurt puppy-dog look that Nicky knew their father couldn't resist.

Theodore sighed and Nicky knew she already lost as their dad waved at both of them to get ready, much to her dismay.

"Coleen is right, Nicky," their father tiredly said. "You don't need to like or even understand the game. Just go and show some support for the school. Even if you chose not to finish your studies there."

"Dad," Nicky started, sighing as she looked towards her father. "It's not that I don't want to finish it. I'm just taking the year off, remember? I'm still young and I really want to experience life first before I get tied down with all the hula-baloo that comes with managing the university. I want to travel. Explore. The works. I still don't understand why you didn't want to pass it on to Colette instead." She added that last bit in a soft mutter.
