Jennie

I stayed the night as I could not seem to escape my father's plan of making us look like a family and besides my things are here already.

Lisa on the other hand gave an excuse that she would do the moving tomorrow. I know that the both of us is not in total agreement with my fathers plan. But I am not dumb enough to rebel on his words because I know he would take it to his power to make our lives a living hell. And I guess Lisa is the same, based on the reactions that she had gave of yesterday, I think she knew my father more than I do.

Sighing, I drifted to bed and closed my eyes hoping that tomorrow would be a good day.

Next Day

I woke up early and decided to freshen up in the fastest way I could. I wanted to leave the Mansion early without attracting any attention from any people living here. Regardless of the fact that my father wants us to stay in the mansion, it does not mean that we could not avoid him.

I fastened my pace in walking with making sure that I did not make too much of a noise. Once I have a ride in the garage, I took my keys, started my engine and drove off to school.

I guess living in the Mansion has its perks. Firstly, the way going to school is close to the convenience store and some surrounding fast food chains. It means that even if I skipped breakfast served in the mansion I could easily buy something out on my way to school. Lastly, If I ever I get too much good of a sleep, being tardy won't be a problem I guess because going to school with only take around 10 to 15 minutes drive from the mansion.

I decided to stop by the convenience store and bought a kimbap and immediately off to school.

As I parked my car is a usual spot, I was surprised to see that my best friend had arrived earlier than I did. It was because she really wake up early because of her sleeping habits.

"Good morning Jen." She greeted as soon as I came out in the car. "Did something happen?" I asked her. But you gave me a confused look but answered in an instant. "Nothing happened."

"Oh. I was just surprised to see in school that's all." She then clutched her hand on her chest acting as if she was hurt.

"I am offended, is it that prayer for you to see me here early at school?" I just shook my head at her dramatic antics before replying. "I am your friend after all. So I am very much informed of what your habits are and one of those is rarely waking up early."

"People change you know. And besides I was pretty much interested in inquiring how you spent the night living in one house with none other than Lisa Manoban. You know your new sister or step - sister?" I forgot that Jisoo left earlier before Lisa so she did not know that the latter left.

"Nothing interesting happened. Besides she left a little later after you did. She is my step-sister for your information but I doubt that our relationship would develop more than anything platonic."

"Oh come on. You are quite pessimistic don't you think? Besides of her being your step - sister, you will spend more time with her especially in school since she's best friends with my girl." I then saw her fanning herself as if she was sweating.

"Are you okay?" I inquired.

"Oh I am pretty much more that okay. I am quite excited actually. I mean for the longest time that I have known you, I think this would be the best year to your transformations."

"And why would you have such conclusion of me transforming?" I asked quite curious of her theories.

"Well I mean school hasn't even started for more than a week but then your life has somehow had a 360 turn of events. And I guess fate is making its role back in your life. Are you not excited for it?" I shook my head at my best friends crazy theories. But before I could reply to her, we heard the bell had rung. Therefore, I drag her quickly towards our class.
