The Rivers | Sweet Pea

Prologue

First day of summer both pranksters of the household decided to kick off the holiday with a good old dye prank on the middle child of the family of nine, sneaking into her room while her brother kept watch, 14-year-old Emerald took the bottle of blue dye mixed it with her older sister's bottle of, lucky for her, emptying shampoo, shaking it a bit trying to speed up the process knowing her brother and sisters are gonna be back from the gym any minute now and she had to hurry packing the bottle back she heard her brother shout out quietly.

"Hurry up, I'm hearing the car pull up." and just on time they heard the closing of car doors quickly putting the bottle in place knowing her sister would notice if it wasn't in the place it was before.

They both rush out to their room just on record as they heard the front door open, with their door slightly opened they peaked watching if their sister was at her room or not, with the soundproof walls they couldn't hear a thing if they closed the door, then they waited until they saw her dark hair, that's in a high ponytail, at the top of the stairs with her phone on her ear, she was probably talking to her boss, as she doesn't really have much friends to talk on the phone with, probably about her summer job, she then was about to go into her room, but before she went in she paused looking weirdly at her door, looking closely at the doorknob, touching it, it was warm, taking off the phone after mumbling 'one minute' she put it on her chest as to muffle the sound and went back to the staircase.

"Mom, were you in my room?" The girl, Blue, yelled making the twins hold their breath, they knew it was a bad idea to prank her out of all their siblings they were gonna be busted and it's gonna be hell.

"Yeah, it's laundry day and you didn't bring out your basket," they let the breath out.

"Okay but next time remind me and don't go in there." not waiting for a reply she went into her room.

"Fine fine." her mom yelled back not knowing her daughter wasn't listening then mumbling out 'Teenagers and their rooms' but remembering that this was not anyone of her kids, it was Blue, the one who doesn't like, actually hates or more like despises the idea of anyone going in her room it would be a very cold day in hell the minute someone from the house enters the room without being invited in.

"So, am I still on the job or not." the lady on the other line said 'not'

"Okay thanks for the heads up by the way." Blue said angrily.

"Look Blue if it were up to me I wouldn't fire you but your... your style, if you put it that way, scares the customers away and to be honest our sales were way better the summer before you started working." her boss or more like former-boss explained.

"Don't want to fire me my ass, you hated my guts, at least man up enough to say it but in all honesty I wasn't your biggest fan either and plus, you're a bitch Sandra, the only reason I acted like I tolerated you was because you paid me and that's as much as it, so bye-bye and may you go to hell peacefully." hanging up, Blue went to her closet after laying her phone a table she had by the door exactly for that reason.

Taking out a pair of black jean shorts and a lacy navy bodysuit and her leather jacket even though it's a 100 degrees out she was always wearing it and a pair of underwear, she laid them down neatly and went into her bathroom turning on the water on hot, no matter what's the weather she would never shower in cold water, she took off her clothes till the water heated and then she got in she took the bottle of shampoo after wetting her hair, and started washing her hair with her eyes closed moving under the water to wash it out but it wasn't coming out as fast as before but she ignored it and kept washing til it was just wet she then moved on to washing her body after putting her hair up, then turned the water off, put on a towel around herself and started shaving her legs, after that moving to the foggy mirror, she saw a little massage on the mirror it said 'Nice hair 'Blue'' confused and angry someone was in her room other than her mother.
