I slowly open my eyes but shut them quickly do to the light coming through the windows. Why the hell are my windows open? I rub my eyes and open them to see a woman sitting in a chair in the corner on her phone making me let out a tiny scream.

"What the hell are you doing in my room?" I clutch my blanket to my chest. The girl doesn't look up from her phone but laughs.

"Pretty sure this isn't your room sis" I contort my face and look around the room. Oh shit. This isn't my room. Whose room am I fucking in? I slowly move the covers so I can slide out of the bed. "I wouldn't do that if I were you"

"And why not?" I ask with a little bit of sass.

"Your body needs a little more time to recover from the drug that you were slipped last night, but since you're a doctor apparently, be my guest and walk around" She says putting her phone finally down on her lap.

I look at her for a second before sighing and sliding back into the bed and pulling the blanket over my legs to stay warm.

"You should really pay attention to what you drink and especially not take drinks from strangers" She says. I roll my eyes.

"I really don't need to take advice from a random" She laughs.

"Apparently the only thing you seem to take from randoms is drinks" I roll my eyes. "Be careful now, keep rolling them eyes and they're gonna get stuck back there"

"And who are you exactly?" I finally ask.

"Naki, short for Funaki. I'm Dinah's older sister and let me tell you, you're actually as pretty as she always tells me you are. I thought she was bluffing" I look at her confused. Dinah talks about me with her sister?

There's a knock on the door and Dinah enters the room looking at Funaki and ignores my presence.

"All the kids are at school except Regina. She's feeling a little sick she said but I haven't checked her temperature. Can you do that? She's downstairs in our parents room" She asks.

"Well I am the doctor in the family, so I think so" Naki stands up to walk out but Dinah stops her.

"And please don't tell Mom or Dad that I got suspended. They'd both kill me, bring me back to life, and then kill me again" Dinah pleads. Naki laughs and places her hand on Dinah's arm.

"Relax, okay. I won't tell, and just be lucky that they leave early in the mornings for work" She slides past Dinah and out the door. Dinah closes the door quietly before finally turning to me and acknowledging my presence.

She walks over to the bed before sitting down on the edge of it. I cross my legs as she leans back a little, adding her weight onto her arms.

"So-"

"Why am I in your house?" I interrupt. Dinah lets out a bitter laugh.

"You are very welcome Princess" I roll my eyes.

"Don't call me that and answer my question Hansen" I cross my arms.

"Well thanks to me, you weren't taken home by some psychotic high schooler trying to take advantage to you. Now you don't have to worry about adding one more guy to your fuck list" Dinah smiles.

I shake my head and climb out of the bed slightly losing my balance but catching myself. I notice my heels on the ground and snatch them off the ground. I walk towards the door but Dinah cuts off my path.

"Where do you think you're going?" I try to push past her but she doesn't budge.

"Home" She shakes her head.
