oo1. Mayor's Banquet

First story. Well, not really. More like the first story that I'm satisfied with. I have 5+ stories in my computer. Geez.

"Brook, can I borrow your world history book? Pleeeease." Mia said while using her puppy eyes on me.

Mia Evanscence is the daughter of a large grocery store owner. Her physical appearance is totally majestic. She has a long hair which has curls at the end. Her pale face filled with freckles just below the eyes emphasizes the light green eyes she has. She's a long-legged person but she's not skinny nor chubby. Apart from the fact that she sends me every unhealthy snacks their store has, she's also my best friend.

"Yeah sure and stop using those puppy eyes on me. Pleeeeeease." I teased her while mimicking her voice.

"Alright then Ms. Brooklyn. What are your plans after school? Don't tell me you'll join your parents again for the Mayor's Banquet?" Mia asked me. And with the same answer I gave for three years, I replied.

"Yes, it's my obligation as the remaining child of the Brooklyn's." I actually didn't want the obligation to be passed down unto me. But since I'm the one and only resort my parents can turn to, I have no choice but to agree.

What is the Mayor's Banquet you may ask. It's a gathering held every end of summer, it usually ends up at the first day of classes in Evergreen High. It is attended by families with reputation inside and outside of our city. The mayor Doyle Titus is a very pleasing man that reeks out ambiance wherever he goes. Thus, it made the Banquet more enjoyable than the past Banquets.

"It must be hard keeping up to your parent's expectations and this town's expectations of your family. If I were you, I already ran away and fuck some hot guy over. I mean, I can't even hang out with you most of the time because of your situation." Mia sighed after saying this.

"Just stop whining and eat your food." I replied shortly not wanting to reveal the truth. It actually is pretty tiring, physically and emotionally.

"Yes mom." Mia said and it was followed by silence.

Mia, being the talkative one, absolutely can't stand the silence. "Brook, is there any guys you've got hots for? You know like when this guy stares, the message will be like 'Make babies with me.' Or something."

"At this moment, none. Almost every guy in this school looks like a drenched french toast." Some looks fine, but almost the entire school population has been our schoolmates since birth. And I'm pretty tired of their shit.

"Good news then." So the almighty and ever majestic grin of Mia Lockheart appeared again. Smells like trouble.

Why?

"Because I heard that in the Banquet tonight, the Mayor will introduce his sons. Yes, capital S. I'm positive that they'll look gorgeous given that the Mayor's looks are superb." She blabbed this in one breath. That's one amazing talent you have there. Mia, paused for a while to catch her breath before continuing. "So you'll have a company for this niggggghtttt!~ And rumor has it that all of them studied in England. Which makes their scores A++."

"Rumor also has it that guys that studied in England can be either a freak or a hothothot guy. There's no in between. So good luck in your mission." After I said this Mia's face fell. Oh boy, I'm worried about her.

I went home straight so I can have more time to prepare for the Banquet. And I'm really thankful that I did because I'm having a hard time in choosing a great outfit. It's a banquet where all powerful families in Evergreen gather. Of course, the star of the night is the Mayor's family.
