_______________CHAPTER ONE________
_______________Worst Day Ever________
I woke up to the sound of my alarm clock to see Daisy, my golden retriever (a dog) sleeping right next to me. Daisy loves to sleep on her bed that I made for her but today I guess she had change of plans.
I taught it was normal to change a routine that has been going on ever since she was like 5 months that is when I realized I was dreaming. As I pinch myself to be sure I felt no pain. I am having a lucid dream as I tell myself. Excited me has been waiting for years for this to happen that is when my eraser for a brain actually woke up this time. I sluggishly drag my body off the bed and went to my bathroom.
Once I got to the bathroom, I removed my pajamas to take a warm bath. Before I knew it, my older sister, Carla open the door to my bathroom.
Carla shouted “Grrr KAYLA!!! Where is my pretty shampoo”
I had no idea where she keeps her limited edition white gold shampoo used by Taylor swift and Beyoncé themselves if you know what I mean. Top-tier celebrity fan action material so she says. I tried to talk it out but I guess I only made it worse because she said she will post me naked on instagram, Facebook et cetera literally the internet will see me nude.
When she ran out of the bathroom to get her phone, I jumped out of the shower, wore my bathrobe, ran out of the bathroom, went downstairs to go and talk to my older brother, Denis about my sister behavior because this is not the first time.
Denis was in his room when I reported the issue. Denis called out Carla to help find her disgusting, filthy, stupid, idiotic, useless, wasted, lifeless, shampoo with no origin just like her. We later found the shampoo in her bathroom toilet basin dancing in the water as her tap runs water pours upon it like the water was giving her salvation. I pounced on her like a cat with anger because not only did she criticize me, she nearly post nude pictures of me to social media.
Denis separated us and a message from my friend, Diana pops up on my phone Lock Screen saying “Kayla, you need to come to this location we need to talk”. What now, what did I do now. Firstly, I had a fake dream. Secondly, Carla is tormenting me. Third, I am in trouble with Diana. The worst day ever.
Once I got to the location, Diana frowned and saying “where is my five hundred dollars you owe me” I froze, I swore I owed Diana five dollars but how did it get so high. It is like the amount use for payment taxes and rents. Diana looked at one saying “I knew you would forget about it and you promised me, if you help me I will forget about”. It felt like a trap but I have no choice.
Diana told me to give her a bowtie, designer brand. I asked what she need it for, Diana said it is for her friend, a guy from South Korea. Diana pleaded me so I did what had to be done, I sneaked into my brother room while he was counseling my sister. I entered his room and opened my brothers drawer to find a bowtie.
I picked it up to see that my brother was coming from counseling so I jumped from the balcony and held the rails for support like Batman in broad daylight. I was desperate to live but he was coming to the balcony. I have jump from a five story building but I am on the fifth floor. Dang, I wished I never forgot so I let go off my hand and said goodbye to the world as I close my eyes. I woke up to see Diana dragging me to the park.
When Diana realized I was awake, she dropped me hard. Ow, I said. She picked me up and told me I am fine but my phone is dead. When she meant by dead I taught she meant the battery was low but she showed me and it was literally dead, it was shattered into fragments and it looked like scraps. Good job me I destroyed the phone my father gave to me.
Note that my father is hates things breaking unconditionally so I am cooked, deep fried, roasted, stewed, grilled, boiled and fried. That phone literally cost six hundred dollars on eBay, EBAY!!!. I need to dig a grave and bury myself because there is no way out of this
That phone price can be compared to paying rent, taxes, warranty and some insurance (I think). I wished I had died not my precious phone. Curse you, Death!!! All I wanted was to pay my forgotten business loan that turned into a bidding lottery ticket, I kind of said that so much sarcasm. I cried heavily to see my so called friend Diana giving me a decoy to use for the meantime.
Diana apologized and said that she will repay me evenly, I did not understand what she meant because I was literally drowning in fear and embarrassment and it literally does not make sense for the situation I am in.
I ran home, went to my room, locked the door, cram the air conditioner/ thermostat to the maximum and played a requiem (musical mass for the dead) to make myself an epic funeral. I used my laptop to record my final moments. I also wrote my will and a letter stating for my parents to forgive me that I am a waste of resources. I thought today was my death day so I brought my own version of the death note called the Life note. It did not have the power to erase the living but it can be used for fun.
I scraped my name and tied a thick rope not a normal one to give more experience. Lastly I chatted to my brother telling him everything through the same laptop. As I hung myself like the game hangman, someone deviant broke my room door and rescued my enemy.
I was already in the heaven’s gate begging God to let me pass. Jesus Christ himself told me I have to go back and finish my purpose on Earth. I woke up to see myself in the hospital with my brother. I wish there was no hospital nearby so I can ask God for wisdom, spiritual guardians and other stuff but now I am stuck in this mortal nightmare again. Now I am alive I will trick the doctors in thinking I have a seizure so they will bury me and I will Rest In Peace. The doctors were afraid and thought I had a seizure so they wanted to joint me. No! That is painful so I stopped and pretended I just rose from the dead. They were amazed but my brother looked disappointed.
He sat down next to me and said “Did you know that the bowtie costs thirty dollars…”.
I felt reasonably bad.
He continued “…and you lost a phone, dad bought for you a month ago, I understand but never try to kill yourself in fact I bought you an even better phone costing up to seven hundred dollars”.
I looked at him and thanked Jesus for sending me to earth. All the colors that was drained from my face replenished. When I asked him if he has told dad, he said no. Great everything is working according to plan. Denis promised me that he would not tell dad what just happened and my cousin is having a party next week. I hate my cousin but sure I will come, to destroy her life.
The day was good, so I caught off ties with Diana and friended May, my caring classmate. Diana is a good for nothing gold digger. Like they say show me your friend and I will show you who you are.
______________CHAPTER TWO__________
_____The Big Special Surprise for Riley_____
The next week, May and I went to my cousin’s birthday. My cousin, Riley is someone you must respect or you will be in her blacklist and I am in her black list. She looks decent, intelligent in the outside but she makes my life miserable in the inside. Carla is stupid immature and dumb but somehow Riley and Carla works together to make my life miserable. Talking about setting differences. Unlike Carla, she can make you hated by all by a snap of her wrist.
Once I got there, I met a hot and sexy guy with blonde hair. The guy introduced himself as Lee Hungsen. I stared at him for just one minute to tell you my heart skipped a beat.
“One of the best books to read”, Lee Hungsen and I said was Time’s up”.
Note: Time’s up is a draft, I literally spent two years to make because of school and I am in book 2.
Lee Hungsen and I blushed as we finished each other sentences. The problem of the day, Riley showed up out of nowhere to intervene with our conversation. Riley held Lee Hungsen and screamed at me furiously showing her true colors to Lee Hungsen.
Apparently, Lee Hungsen and Riley where best buddies but to Riley they were lovers. How could I know she had a man without telling me what did she expect. I just came here for three reasons
1. Socialize: my parents forced me to socialize because my nemesis, Diana that I hate so much told them, how I nearly committed suicide if it were not for my brother. Like is it your problem Diana, is it. She also told them about the broken phone which I nearly got whipped to death if it were not my brother, let us just say they grounded me for a year. I should have broken Diana’s bones but not to worry, Karma will hit eventually.
2. Make friends: almost like number one but you know you can just chat random numbers on WhatsApp, such a reliable source.
3. Find the one #soulmate: my brother told me to do this. I hate chemistry but fine. I know where I can find them on google, Snapchat, instagram and more. I guess.
But fine Riley take him. In my mind, I will win his heart over and make your life miserable the same way you did to me. Riley took Lee Hungsen with her, I could see the poor man was not happy to leave. I have to win that puppy. A new mission will be updated on my diary.
4. Win Lee Hungsen’s heart…
This is going to be a piece of cake or pastry. All I have to do is to flirt with him a lot but playing with Riley food is like stabbing yourself with a sharpen machete. I have to earn both trust and steal Lee Hungsen. Even if he is not the one, my brother will leave me alone. I know that blonde haired people are dumb like my sister (please do not be offended)
I need to find alternatives in order to win him. I know that Lee Hungsen and Riley are the same age of twenty one. Please do not ask how I know I just know and I am 18 years. Just 3 years gap, ok I can make this work.
I just can not wait to see the look on Riley face when I hold him and tell her we are engaged. Kayla focus, now Riley realized you like him she would not make it easy and might steal his heart before you do. It is time for a name for this mission. Ooh, I know “Operation Spouse”.
Operation Spouse sounds nice and ugly I like it. Steps
Step 1: Sneak emetic poison to Riley drink so that she will go to the restroom AKA toilet.
Step 2: Flirt with Lee Hungsen indirectly and ask for his phone number.
Step 3: Once gotten, discuss your plan to May.
Step 4:
I don’t know step 4 I guess I will wait for some chemistry. I followed Riley to backstage now let my plan begin. I called out to Riley but she ignored my voice. You useless piece of trash get over here now before I have to scrap my notebook, I whispered. Riley turned to me and slapped me. I think she heard me. She dears slap me.
Riley stares down at me and spoke “Sorry cousin My sweet passionate Lee is taken so scram”.
I looked at Riley and she looked back at me. “What”, I softly said.
Riley stared at me and I slapped her back twice fold. Riley fell to the floor and screamed while holding the swollen part of her face. I stand back grinning at her.
I told her “You mother fucking bitch how there you presume that I want to steal your useless piece o man, I am a lady with dignity”
Sooner than I thought, the people heard the commotion and came to inspect what was happening. To my horror, they saw Riley sobbing on the floor begging me not to hurt her that it is all a misunderstanding. I guess they called my parents and Riley parents.
Riley face looked so convincing while mine looked genuinely hurt for what Riley just did. They all believed their sweet Riley including my parents and my brother. If Riley was starring a show on Netflix, I am sure she will many awards in Oscar.
