We awoke from our peaceful slumber to shouts and screams echoing from the other room. Evelyn stumbled her way through the darkness of my room as she felt out the wall for the light switch. I covered my eyes as the bright lights illuminated the room. Evelyn was rubbing her eyes while I looked to my right and saw the analog clock flashing 4:30 AM. Amidst the shouting, we heard a knock in our door. Evelyn opened the door to see Anne in her pajamas on the other side. I was groggy in the morning as I lazily stood up and walked towards Anne asking her in a tired voice.
"Did they wake you up too?"
Anne gave a confused look and grinned. She then pointed to her eye bags and spoke in the most serious tone she can muster
"Woke up? I never slept"
Her eye bags were barely visible and I could see Evelyn's tired face admire Anne's smooth skin. She sent a transmission to me briefly in a cute tone.
"Anne is so lucky, she never grows old"
I gave a tired chuckle to Anne and knocked on the room parallel to mine. My knocks were drowned out by the sound of them screaming at each other. Anne was visibly irked by how early in the morning they are arguing at each other. She held the doorknob and twisted it firmly. As the door opened, a toilet paper roll was thrown in her direction, she narrowly avoided the projectile as it hit me square in the face. It did not hurt much and I was too tired to care. Evelyn held my hand as we were then blasted with Piatrice screaming at Raizen and him responding similarly.
"You're making mountains out of molehills again Rai!"
"You know I don't stress like this over little things"
"Rai look at me, this IS a little thing"
"Dropping from #26 to #63 is NOT a little thing Pia! HOW DO YOU DROP 40 PLACES IN ONE NIGHT?"
"Rai for the last time, MATTPAD RATINGS FLUCTUATE"
"Spare me the pity party Pia, I could feel the quality declining past the 5th chapter"
"Oh god...You really want to be down because of this?"
Anne stepped in the middle of the conversation and yelled at both of them
"WHAT IS GOING ON HERE? IT'S 4:30 IN THE MORNING!"
The way Anne's voice pierced through the room sent chills down my spine. Silence then filled the room as Raizen hid under his laptop and Piatrice looked away from him in disgust. I could feel Evelyn's hand grip tighter as Anne spoke. She gave me a transmission after silence echoed the room
"Anne is very cute but she's also very scary when she's mad."
Anne sighed angrily as she looked back at us and spoke.
"We need to hide this from Justin. You know how much screaming in the house affects his mind. I'll talk to Rai, I need you, Jun, to keep Pia calm"
Evelyn interfered and spoke to Anne.
"I'll talk to Pia, We've bonded over a day and I can keep her calm"
Anne was very concerned with what Evelyn suggested and with a warning tone, she responded to Evelyn
"Ashley are you sure? Pia has a short fuse and she rarely opens up to anyone"
With certainty in her voice, Evelyn spoke.
"I can do it."
Anne looked at me and instructed me.
"Jun, I need you to wake up Justin and get him out of the house while we talk to Pia and Raizen."
