The Truth...

I walked in the building with that thing as her 12 inch plain black stilettos clicked on the floor. I was currently listening to little white lies. It had finished and looped once more, playing through my headset. I started to dance as no one was watching and my uh... whatever was too busy making herself look intimidating. I got carried away flipping on the freshly polished floors. I fell flat on my butt. Bit my lip so that thing wouldn't know. I didn't make a sound. Not even my ass.

She turned around and slapped my cheek. My face turned to the side with the impact. "If you want to act like a fool do it in your room not around me. Do you understand?" She said waiting on a reply. "Whatever." I respond softly. My face had a hand print on it now. "We'll see whatever when we get home." she whispered intimidatingly. "Now. Get off your ass and stand like a young woman. I don't care if you and the rest of the men are around the say age, you call them Mr. or Sir. Do you hear me?" She says. I just laugh. "First off I'm not even a woman. Secondly if we're around the same age I will call them by their name." I respond. "If you embarrass me you will face consequences." She walked off and then I saw a hand extended towards me. "Wow never knew Jennifer could be like that." Louis Sterling?! She never told me she was working for 5D!!! I take his hand. "Thanks." I say. "Well let's go." He says.

"Oh. Of course." I say and he looks interested. "Thanks for helping me up." I say dusting my cream dress. That creature made me wear it. She literally forced this dress on me. She dressed me today. "I like that dress you're wearing." I wanna yell. It's so breezy in the wrong places. I don't know how much longer I can stand it. "Really now?" I grumble. "Believe me this is definitely not what I normally wear." I say again. "Oh. Do you not like dresses or something?" He asks. "I don't understand why someone would like those insufferable pieces of fabric." I growl again. "Can we just go Louis?" I can't get upset now. "Wait. Is something wrong?" He holds my shoulder. All on instinct I flinch. "Nothing's wrong." I say about to walk off. He reaches for me and grabs my zipper instead revealing my back. He gasps. "I'M SO SORRY! Wait...Who did this to you?" He asks. Who do you think?" I growl my anger flaring. I sigh, closing my eyes minding my breathing and meditating for just a second. "No, she wouldn't." He denied immediately. I laughed. "You really think you know her don't you?" I chuckled lowly. I backed him into a wall. I sigh breathing deeply for a little bit. "Look just zip my dress up so we can go before she gets suspicious." He zipped it up frowning. I don't say anything to him and quickly walk to the door. I take one more deep breath before I continue. Fuck!

Wait. I feel like I'm forgetting something. Louis walks in and I walk in right after him. I clutch my bag straps. No anxiety. You. Can. Make. It.

Then the thing said, "Gentlemen, this is my daughter... Diana Phoebe Warren." I stared into his emerald eyes. Ariyun Ozai. "Jennifer I insist call me Yun." Ariyun insisted. It sounded like he hated the formality. Yun responded, "Hi love." I replied back, "H-hello Yun. How are you?" I asked trying not to show my pain. "I'm quite good actually. And what about you?" He asked after answering not noticing a thing. I catch a glance of Louis' face and he watches me worriedly. What the hell dude?! Look away! I shake my head. "Uhhhh... I'm what you call in between everything." I say rubbing my neck looking down and sideways thinking of the future exam again. "Hi lass." Nithon says. I cringe at the term reflexively but try hide it. "Hi... Nithon." I say grimacing trying to smile back. Keep smiling don't let them see you lose your shit. "Vas Happening Phoebe." Zev says. Ugh. KILL ME DEAD RIGHT FUCKING NOW. "Hello. Zev." I say trying to hold back. I almost couldn't breathe. I managed to hide it but I know both Louis and the thing noticed. "Hello Loven." I smile. "Stop faking your smile." It whispers  in my ear, embedding her long acrylic nails into my arm. I respond by digging my elbow into her stomach swiftly and stealthily. She backs off. I could see Louis watching her with a stern look on his face in the corner of his eyes. "Hi. Are you okay?" Loven whispers with a concerned expression. I nod smiling. "It was cool meeting you guys but I have a midterm to study for." I said out loud turning my head franticly looking for my shoulder bag. My back hurts again. I just wanna scream. I'm meeting my idols and I have to be in this state of being. I sigh. "Um... Bye guys." I say smiling and waving about to leave. "Phoebe wait!" I wince. Why me? "We're planning to get something to eat. You should come with." Nithon asks. "Sure." I say. She has to let me go. Mwahahahahaha.
