*Four days ago*
"You did what?" Luke yells.
I told him that I kissed that girl.
We're sitting outside drinking an energy drink. The party ended and the house is a whole mess.
"You kissed the girl without her permission?" he yells, "While she was sleeping?"
"I know man, stop saying it." I say rubbing my face. " I don't even know her fucking name."
Luke looks at me with disbelief in his eyes.
"You were such a jerk that you didn't even ask her about her name?"
"Of course, not man." I say looking up at him, "I did ask her about her name, but she didn't answer me."
"What do you mean she didn't answer you?" He asks
"I don't know bro. She told me that she isn't telling me, and she was very secretive about her identity." It's very fucked up.
He looks at me and then his face fells.
"That's...How did she look like?" He asks and I look at him in confusion.
"Does it matter?" I ask.
"Yes, it matters! Tell me now." He yells
"Fine man, don't get so hyped up about it." I say and rub my face, "Um... she had brown hair and she was wearing a black dress." which looked like a dream on her.
Fuck, she is too good.
"Damn it." Luke says worried.
"What's wrong?" I ask.
He takes out his phone and starts searching something.
"What is it?" I ask worried.
"Is this the girl?" He asks showing me a picture of her sitting on a couch laughing and looking anywhere but the camera.
My heart skipped a beat at the sight of her.
"Yes." I say looking at my brother.
"Fuck." He curses.
Luke rarely curses and when he does it means we are really fucked.
"What? Do you know her?" I ask.
"She's Olivia Meyer." He says and my face fells.
It feels like someone threw cold water at me.
"Olivia Meyer as Olivia Meyer?" I ask.
"Yes. Olivia Meyer." He says rubbing his face.
So, she's my...
Fuck.
Why God why?
Why?
She is too hot, too good, too beautiful and I'm cursed.
I'm cursed that a girl like her is my enemy.
"Do you like her?" Luke asks out of blue. I look up at him in confusion.
"Of course I don't man. I just met her!"
"Well, you kissed her." He says.
Yes, I did. Fuck me.
I just kissed my fucking enemy.
What the hell was I thinking?
"I wasn't at my senses. I must have drunk too much." I say defending myself. I drank only two beers. But that counts, right? I had alcohol on my veins.
"Whatever you say." He smirks.
"What the fuck is that supposed to mean?" I ask.
He was about to answer when the sound of a car came.
"Father is here." He says, "Let's head inside."
I get up and follow him inside.
"Boys" Aunt Becca, our housekeeper called, " Your father wants to meet you in his studio."
I look over at Luke and he looks worried.
"Okay, thank you Aunt Becca." He smiles at her.
"He wants Avril too." She says in a soft voice.
"Okay." Luke smiles.
"Do you think he knows?" I ask Luke as soon as Aunt Becca leaves, "About the Meyers coming here."
Luke frowns.
"I don't think so." He says.
"He knows every shit that happens in the house Luke." I say.
I wouldn't be surprised if he paid people to watch us over the party.
"Go get Avril." He says and walks toward father's studio.
I shake my head and turn toward Avril's room.
"Hey Avril. Are you asleep?" I whisper standing at the door of her room.
No response came from her.
I open the door and walk inside the room. She is sleeping.
Damn me and the sleeping girls today.
"Hey Avril." I whisper tapping her shoulder, "Get up."
She murmured something and turned at the other side.
I roll my eyes and shake her shoulder.
"Avril! Wake up."
"What the fuck do you want?" She says half asleep.
"Father wants to meet us. Get up now."
"Right now?"
"No, next year." I roll my eyes." Yes now."
"Don't irony me!" She says and checks her phone, "It's 4am, damn it!"
"Let's go." I say.
I'm not doing this ever again.
The three of us are standing in front of our father's studio door, waiting for him to say come in after Luke knocked.
"Come in." His voice echoed.
He is sitting at his desk with his hands clasped together.
My father is a tall man, with blonde hair, blue eyes and a beard.
He is handsome, but a scary man.
"I see you enjoyed yourselves at the party." He says.
I knew it that the talk was about the party.
I just hope he didn't find out about the Meyers sneaking in.
"Oh, no I'm not saying anything about it." He says after seeing the look of our faces. " There is something else we need to talk about."
My heart skips a beat.
Is it the Meyers?
He gets up from his chair and starts pacing around.
''Do you know 'Royal Academy' high school?" He asks.
"It's the school where the Meyers study." Luke says in a quiet voice.
"Yes." He says. "That school is ranked at the top of 'best high schools in California' and the Meyer girls are the top richest girls there." He says.
We look at each other in confusion.
"Top richest!" He scoffs.
"You're changing school." He says out of blue and sits back at his desk.
What the fuck does he mean with changing school?
"You're going to Royal Academy." He says and my world crushes. "I need you to go to that school and crush the Meyers."
Meyers, Meyers, fucking Meyers!
We can't let the Meyers be at the top of us.
We can't let them be smarter than us.
We can't disappoint our father.
We need to foucus on the family business.
We can't enjoy our lives.
We need to keep our eyes open on the Meyers or they are going to be better than us.
I'm sick of it.
I'm sick of the Meyers.
They are destroying my life all the time.
I fucking hate them.
The only good thing in my life was my school. It's the only place where the Meyers pressure isn't. I can be free there.
And now he is taking that from me.
I have to go where the Meyers are and fucking compete with them.
And the worst thing?
I can't say no.
"You're going to that school and you're going to rule there. You are going to take their place and be the top of the school. Show them who the Cullens are." He says.
"But-" Avril says.
She is brave.
"Is there something Avril?" Father says.
Avril looks at me with tears in her eyes and I shake my head.
"No." She swallows.
"Very well." He claps his hands "You are going tomorrow."
Tomorrow?
"Tomorrow? Isn't that too soon? You just told us, and we haven't done anything ready yet." Luke says.
"Don't worry. I have fixed everything. You just have to show up there." He smirks.
Of course you did.
"Did you understand your job at Royal Academy?" He asks.
"Yes." The three of us say.
"Good. And don't disappoint me. Especially you, Joel." He says and my heart stings.
Do you know that feeling when someone is saying something to you and you want to speak up, but you can't so you're just screaming on the inside?
"Yes father." I say.
"Good. Well, go to sleep now, you have to wake up early tomorrow." He says.
"Good night father." The three of us say and get out.
"I can't believe we're changing school. I can't do this. I can't leave my friends. I can't be a new girl. It's all the stupid Meyers fault." Avril says as soon as we were out of the studio.
"Shut up, Avril. I don't need your drama right now." I say rubbing my face.
I got a fucking headache.
"Okay let's go to sleep now. You heard what father said." Luke says.
We both nod and head toward our rooms.
I walk into my room and my eyes widen.
What the fuck happened to my room?
My bed sheets are at the floor, pillows too. My clothes are out of the closet and my things at the nightstand are out of its place.
My cat comes closer to me and starts rubbing her head against my feet.
''Hi, Popsicle.'' I bend over and rub her head. ''Do you know who did this?" she just meows at me.
I place a kiss at her head and walk in the bathroom.
There is a whole mess too.
At the mirror is written "fuck you" with red lipstick.
Olivia fucking Meyer.
Oh my God Olivia!
She is at that school.
Well obviously, because she is a fucking Meyer.
The girl I'm supposed to destroy.
I lie down on my bed and groan.
How the hell am I going to do this?
Fuck you fate!
Fuck you father!
And fuck you enemies!
