Chapter 23

Andrea 

"HAHAHA did you see that, Andrea? She's really annoyed." Raia said laughing. 

These two are really crazy. They pissed Blaine off. Blaine, on the other hand, was pissed off. You can see that she is insulted on her face. Who wouldn't be offended by what these two said? 

"Yeah, the look in her face is really funny." Lexa said. 

"Crazy girls." I said. "I just don't know what will happen to you if she targeted you." I told them. 

The two did not scared. They still continue to laugh. I think they are crazy. No, let me rephrase it. They are really crazy. 

"She can't touch us. You know that we are the daughters of two big companies. She can't lay a finger on us." Lexa's confident answer. 

It is difficult to resist such rich people. You'll maybe died tomorrow or the other day. No one knows your destiny if you touch such rich people.

"She can't fight face to face so she's kidnapping you. She's weak." Raia's said. 

She was right in what he said. Because if she fights me face to face, she really can't handle me. 

If the person she is sending can't handle me, what about he? She sent more men and not just one but many and I was able to knock out alone. She still a lame woman. 

If she's going to fight me face to face, I will let her hold a knife or a gun. Or any weapon that she likes.

Because even if she does, she can't still handle me. I can knock her down in just a second.

"Andrea, let me ask you a question." Raia said suddenly after the silence that had erupted between the three of us. 

"What is it?" 

"Did you study martial arts?" 

"Yes." 

"Really? At what age?" 

"9." I answered. 

Both of their eyes widened. They were both amazed by my answer. Is that really amazing? For me, no.

A lot of children are studying martial arts these days. You shouldn't be amazed by that at all.

"9 years old?" Lexa asked incredulously.

"Hmm." I answered. 

"Woahh. You mange to study martial arts at that young age." Raia said in amazement. 

They are both nodding their heads and were still amazed to till now. 

I really did everything I could to learn martial arts. At a young age I could not have fun because I was studying martial arts. 

It is vacation when I was studying so I had plenty of time to study the moves that were taught to me. 

My mother and brother did not allow me because I was a girl and a child so I studied secretly. 

They said they wanted me to enjoy my childhood but I didn't want to. Aside from being tiring to play, they are so loud. 

I once played with children and I didn't last long either because I was irritated so the next day I didn't play again. 

That's also why I don't have a friend. When you have a friend, you need to go with them wherever they want to go. If you don't go with them, they will get angry. 

I didn't want to have a friend back then because of my experience. 

When I was little, five years old, there's a child who became my friend. 

Something bad happened to the two of us and since then I have never tried to make a friend again. 

For me, I thought, I was cursed or something. That if I ever had a friend, they will be miserable and unlucky because of me.

That's why I didn't make friends with people around me. That thought scares me.

It was also one of the reasons what happened to us back then so I studied martial arts.

Jake 

Raia's house is incredible. It's obvious that rich people live here. 

Everything you see here is gorgeous. There is nothing cheap in their equipment. The paint of their house is white. They have a lot of displayed furniture. Others you will notice are antique but nice in design. 

You will not find anything ugly in their house. There is a large chandelier in their living room. Even their chandelier have a nice design. 

They floor is tiles and even that is beautiful. It is also white and matches the color of their house. 

I can't help but admire the beauty of this house. 

Crimson's house is also beautiful. That's where we practiced the other day. 

Temper tantrum told them that she studied martial arts when she was young. Raia told us that. Temper tantrum isn't here yet because she went to the hospital because today, Andrei will leave the hospital.

"That's why she's good at martial arts." Blake's said. 

"Why does she want to study martial arts? Why doesn't she just play with children?" Tristan asked. 

"She wants to be able to defend hetself." I answered. 

"Her brothers can defend her and protect her. Why does she still study the martial arts?" Tristan asked.

"Yes. They can protect her but temper tantrum don't want her brothers to be in trouble because of her. It was 9 years ago, I guess? Temper tantrum got molested by someone. They figure out who it was and they almost kill that person. She doesn't want to repeat what happened in the past that's why she studied martial arts." I replied.

Temper tantrum told me that that's why I knew the story. When we are studying together, we sometimes talk about each others story when our instructor is not in our practice area yet. 

We share each others dark past, secrets, and the reason why we study the martial arts. That's how we get closer to each other.

"That's the reason why she study martial arts at her young age." Raia said. 

I know the thing they don’t know about temper tantrum. Even though she didn’t want to have a friend, she doesn't have a choice because I insist myself to be her friend. 

I met temper tantrum because we studied martial arts together back then. We were just the two of us being taught by our teacher so we were often together. He is 9 years old and I am 10. I'm just 10 months older than her.

She's so rugged that time, even now. I can't even come close to her because she always kicked me in the ass if I go near her.

She's an amazona. You really have to be careful when you're going to approach her and you two are not close. You might get punch in the face or kick on your ass.

Because of her, her brother Andrello become my friend. Andrello also told me many things about temper tanteum. We also grow up together. We're in the same class from grade four to grade eight. 

We just moved away so we separated but now we are together again. Because of daddy's job we moved and I was still a minor so they didn't want to let me be alone. Now that I'm 17 they've allowed me so I'm back here. I miss pestering temper tantrum and ruining her day, HAHAHA. 

Another reason why temper tantrum studied martial arts was what happened to them by her friend. It seems that temper tantrum used to have a friend when she was young. Her only friend but unfortunately, that only friend of her disappeared. 

So from that moment she didn't want to have any friends. 

Andrea 

We are in the mall now because Raia and Lexa wants to choose my sports wear. 

There's a lot of need in the pageant. It's that jerks fault. We've been walking here at the mall for about 4 hours just to look for my sports wear. 

I don't like the ones they choose because it's purely showy. The other one is my shows my belly. The other is short. Sando is the style of one so I don't like it. I have never worn that before. 

"What do you really want? Tell us exactly what is it?" Raia asked annoyed. 

"As long as the clothes are not shorts and aren't showy. I don't also wear a sando style or any sleeveless shirts." I answered. 

"Why don't you wear something like this. Your sexy body will be exposed." Lexa said with a sigh. 

I don't give a damn if no one can see the beauty of my body. I don't like that. I don't want anyone looking at me especially at my body.

I'd rather cover my body fully than to show it to them.

We finally choose a pair of shirt and shirt for my sports wear. After four hours, we finally choose one. 

My sports wear is black shorts and a black shirt. There is also a black blazer over the shirt. The shorts weren't too short so I agreed.

The three of us were tired of finding my sports wear for the pageant. We went to a café to relax. 

We order a latte and cheese cake. We can finally rest our feet. I'm so exhausted. 

"It's hard to find clothes for yoy. You're very choosy about clothes." Lexa's complaint. 

They are too tired to walk and look at clothes. I’m more tired because we’ve been practicing before. 

That was our last practice because the competition was tomorrow. I will just suffer for today and tomorrow. Finally, I can sleep on time.

We also looked for something to wear for my talent. I only have pants and a t-shirt. Theirs is crop top. 

"Why don't you show your body? You have a beautiful body. You're sexy." Raia asked. 

She was like that since earlier. Shee wanted me to show my body. Can I use that to win the competition? Not at all. 

"I don't wear such clothes." I answered. 

After we ate we practiced the dance. I am also singing today not just dance. That's what they want so that when the competition start and I'm ready. 

We also practiced for four hours so I came home late. We finished practicing at 10pm. 

They also ate at Raia's house but I didn't because I had no appetite. I just rested while they ate. They force me to eat but I don't force them so they don't do anything either.

This is me when I'm exhausted. I don't have an appetite when I'm exhausted and restless. I just want to rest and do nothing.
