Perfect Poison

CHAPTER 15

2.45 pm.
A seriously life draining ride to the hotel has left everyone swollen with uncomfort and the flunctuating heat levels were not helping, it's almost like Beijing has never heard of air conditioner.

The uproar of hotness paralysed my thoughts to circle back and forth, in and out of a self preserved Labrynth. My head sweltering with melted lotion ran down to my lashes, stinging my eyes. I couldn't think,i could hardly see.

Heated discussions of neighbouring Towns, destinations and family issues wasged over my ears disregardingly,

brawling teenagers preparing for tests, the anxieties of peers and upcoming exams pressuring their ears as they chattered on more then they studied. Car horns made conflict with eachother's sea of rusty engines, squeaking themselves to life.

A century's worth of agriculture and livestories danced around me, but i couldn't enjoy it, i can't see.
I can't think.
I can't breathe-
"Serenity."
i feel Rachel's arm tugging me.
"We're practically there now girl, please please don't faint again cause your way bigger then you look."
Ayato smiled

"You got that right, i remember when i had to drag her all the way back to the mansion after overdosing in Alcohol, she was completely out, trouble was dad had been up in his study awaiting us, and i covered for her ass."
I chuckled softly at the memory.
I'd never mean't to get drunk, i vowed never to ever touch liqour unless i became as broken as my mother,the trouble was being vulnerable at a boarding house party and the difficulties of knowing the difference between punch and Vodka.

The million dollar question was why i had even agreed to come but i guess the strongest drug of all is doing anything for friends. Love, acceptance. Especially at 13 years old.
I never will associate with the rave holding extroverts of Thiod Academy again.

Glistening with Diamonds Jewles and sea green emeralds, you'd expect them to uphold a little respect or dignity.

"Selene, quit spacing out and drink up biatch!!" The flivourous duo hollered drunkenly.
"Um, ok, if it's to your satisfaction." I mouthed nervously.
My eyes watched as a fiery ambered girl flew past, silver contacts glistening from the saphire torch lighting.
"Er...Haruh...Har-"
I weakly called out to the human disco ball.
She slightly glanced in my direction before gliding away to a different crowd.
Damn leos.
I looked sadly around me, her three society friends watching me like bees to honey. The gay one, the high one, and the sly one.
"I..i don't want to-"
Her friend throttled the supposed fruit punch down my throat before i could utter another word. "There you are." Her kitten eyes grinned at me as i slowly wobbled downwards.

Everything after that is a mystery to me.
But it was Rachel who had ran in Circles to find my Brothers number after watching my fluid assualt. She didn't know me,but she cared enough to help.
We have stayed like sisters since.

Ayato was livid, distraught, concerned. The police were called, the party was as savable as a mansion in flames.

There were ambulances and news reporters.
Offcourse My father paid thousands to keep that unspoken past under the rug.
Remember Ayato's Scandalous past i mentioned before? He's always been a bit of a wild child but this was the one incident that caused our stupid dad to go haywire.

"I'm sure Haruh was just busy Serene." Rachel rested her tiny  head on my shoulder. "Think of us before that incident, we never spoke, nor tried to interact."
I sighed defeatedly. "True, but you never stopped reaching out to me to see how i was after the party, nor did u stop bothering me."
It's true.

First period: "Konichiwa Serene chan"
I gave her the middle finger.
Second period: "Anaseyo Serene."
She actually believed the problem was that i was korean.
Lunch: "Serene Chan!!"
Last period: "do you prefer english?"
"Leave me alone!!" I growled.

She never did. Now we're both attached at the hip, she somehow worked her magic on me excellently.
Rachel beamed a sunshine smile.
"Sorry babe but i can't help myself." She laughed.
"Don't you have like 300 other siblings to care about tho?" I grinned.
"HEY! My parents aren't that bad."
"Oh are they now?"
Rachel pecked me on the forehead softly. "Your like a little sister to me, offcourse i care, i think Alison sees you as one too."
My heart stopped beating at that.
"Don't even go there R, you honestly believe she cares about my well-being?"

"I know she does, and i can see you know too, you just don't want to admit it."
I rolled my eyes at this.

I know she's just attenpting to cheer me up, but...

"Serene!" I peeped out the wet covered window to see Yuko happily waving at me like a dog to it's owner. I gave a tiny wave back, which seemed to suprise her.
"Modelling time." Ayato squeezed me. Rachel looked at me with a lost impression
" so modeing sucks."
"Modelling's shit." I grimaced at memories i'd rather recall in my grave. "But it spews out cold cash."

Speaking of cold...
Who's that red haired man next to Yuko. Green eyes, red hair, black suit.
"Who are you looking at?" Rachel joined me looking out the window.
"That guy." I stuttered slightly, staring at the immensly handsome man outside. He looks familiar.
"What man?" She purred.
I swerved round to look at Rachel with shock wrapped around me.

Someone get me that antidote quick.
And a dagger for that matter.
