Chapter Four

Chapter Four

All my life, I always encounter people who's purpose is to just annoy the hell out of me. Somebody who likes intruding in my own life, who meddles with my own things. But I never thought the day would come that I'll hit by someone in a bullseye.

That fvcking Yukenzo. How dare him say that I'm making troubles for me to earn their attention. How dare him belittle my rationales. How dare him belittle me. I said I'll make his forbearance to end, I'll prove to them that he is not good enough to be their leader.

But why does I'm the one who ran away? Why did I left just because he threw me such words he invented himself? I shouldn't left, I should have did more than that.

Whatever, I can plan another trouble anyway.

Our limousine stopped, Bougart, our loyal driver, parked it in front of the mansion's double doors. I took my backpack and didn't even wait for the bodyguards to accompany me, I walked out the car and closed the cardoor by myself. It created a loud sound because of the impact and I don't honestly care. I rolled my eyes when the bodyguards positioned their selves around me. Can't they just leave me alone and vanish like a bubble?

My steps were heavy. Not surprisingly anymore, the double doors opened and the faces of our two maids welcomed me. They really knew when is my presence seemed. The bodyguards stopped following me when I finally got inside and I though I can now breathe freely. The maids followed me 'til I reached the living room. Ugh, they just replaced the annoying bodyguards. Yeah right.

"Hey, you look upset." Innov gave me his graceful smile.

"And you look stupid." I replied.

As expected, he held his chest dramatically."Ouch, dude. Can you atleast smile? I'll accept your every bashful comments about me just say it with a smile. Come on, Vanez. You just survived the hectic school works today!" He even held both my shoulders and shook it lightly.

Really? This guy is hopeless. I don't even know why he turns out being this feeling close. Are we even close?

"Why would I smile while bashing the person I hate? As I remember, I'm not acquiring stupidity, not like you. So without all due respect, get out of my way." I gritted. His smile eventually faded.

He sighed in defeat and moved from the other side, I marched upstairs without looking back. I feel nothing but tiredness and annoyance but I'm feeling empty too at the bottom of my soul. I clicked the doorknob of my room and entered relentlessly. I threw my bag elsewhere and laid down the bed. I stared blankly at the ceiling of my room, I can feel the puffiness of my eyes and my legs were being numb.

What should I do next?

I was about to close my eyes when a sudden knock wake my weary mind up. I blowed out a loud sigh before getting up and walked slowly at the main door. I opened it and the face of Anya is what I only saw. I raised my brow at her.

"Sir Martin wants you to join their snacks downstairs." She informed.

Nothing changed in my expression. Snacks, huh? I thought it's an important matter she has to tell. What a waste of time.

"How many times do I have to tell you every single day you're knocking on my door that I don't want to be disturbed by a random matters? Listen, Anya, tell him I won't join their 'family' snack time." I emphasized the word family.

"But, miss Vanez---" she was about to talk back but I already shut the door that made her shut her mouth, too.

After that, no batch of knock occurred anymore. I feel like the exhaustion I'm feeling earlier was gone and replaced by bitterness. I just diverted my attention by watching some movies while eating popcorn. If they have snack time then, I have mine also. Of course.

I opened the sliding window and let the curtains danced in the rhythm of the night wind. I turned off the hanging TV when evening came, I feel lazy but I think I'm not in the mood to go downstairs. I can't bear seeing their faces. The faces of the people who made me like this. The reason why my life sucks. And the only person I thought I would have but like the others, he betrayed not just me but also my mom. But I'm still stock between staying here and die in so much boredom or going out and face them bravely.

In the end, I chose the latter. Right. I'd rather die because of their faces than die in boredom here. I won't die alone, never! I'm done exploring my whole room and I want a booze. I think I know where I'm going tonight.

I sneered and took my hoodie out of my closet. I wore it and reached for my phone at the bedside table. I also looked for my wallet and kept it inside my pants' pocket. I closed the window and arranged the curtains. I'm on a second floor and even if I hate their faces so much, I won't jump out of here. I wouldn't sacrifice my life and seek for the pathetic ending.

"There she is!"

I almost rolled my eyes when I saw the home wrecker Sharon.

She's wearing a red dress with her crimson red lipstick and its absolutely absurd. She look like a devil in red. Well, she really is a devil and red is perfect to describe how hellish she is. I walked downstairs. I saw Akira watching TV in the sofa, she glanced at me and I caught her rolling eyes. I know, dear. I know you hate me and I'm glad the feeling is mutual.

"Don't you have homework, Vanez?" I want to laugh sarcastically when dad suddenly asked me a random question.

I looked at him with no interest."I don't have homework and I hate homework." I said.

I'm planning on just passing by without minding them but the hellish Sharon appeared beside him and she even encircled her arms around his arms. I became emotionless for a moment while staring on it. She has this wicked smile on her fully lips.

"Aww, that's so unpleasant of you, dear. You should start loving homeworks because that's part of growing as a learner. You shouldn't turn your back at the tasks given to you. How will you learn if you keep on running away from the lectures?" She said and I watched how dad nod his head, willingly agreeing to her.

While I can't believe it.

"Are you even my teacher?" I responded. Her mouth hanged a bit.

"Vanez," dad warned.

Okay, okay. I'm at fault again. Always.

"If you don't want me to say anything to her, better teach her to shut her mouth and don't meddle with my business. She's not my mom who can tell me anything she wants," then I moved my gaze."She's a totally stranger to my eyes." I said those directly into Sharon's eyes.

I saw how her fist tightened. I smirked secretly.

Before dad could make another response, I decided to walk out and left them there. But I'm not yet reaching the double doors when another annoying person of my life called me.

"Where are you going? It's already late night!" Why is he concern, anyway?

I lazily looked back at Innov.

"I'm going to a place where I could call home! To a place where I won't see any of your faces!" I shouted and left the mansion finally.

When I went out the double doors, I already expected the bodyguards would block my way. So I don't have any choice but to stick with my original plan. I know they knew my previous tricks I used to them before but this one is different from the other. I'm not a rebel for no reason. I've trained myself to fight and behind their back, I studied martial arts the moment I met the people who helped me in my every rants.

I positioned myself and they are alarmed. I didn't waste any seconds and immediately kicked the asses of the two. They groaned in pain. They are more than 15 and I know my limits, I can't beat them all so I need to apply some trick. I distracted the first three first, punched their faces, kicked their buttocks, hips and legs. I gave one of the bodyguards a headbutt while I punched the jaw of the other one. But before they could attack me by force, I chose the remaining choice I have and it is to run. I ran away as fast as I can just so I could get out of their sights.

I only sighed in relief when I got out the gate and successfully tricked them. I hid myself behind the palm tree outside, I saw how they desperately seek for me but poor freaks, I'm more genius than what they think.

I freely left the mansion and walked across the street. I hummed and put my hands inside my pocket. It's a matter of time when I saw four silhouettes at the street side. A smile immediately plastered on my lips and my walk turned fastly.

"Woah! Look who we have here." Dublin smirked at me.

I shook my head playfully. I can now clearly see their appearance as I fully got near them.

"The rebel baby girl." Rashid mocked. Damn this guy.

"Fuck you, neglected man." I beat back.

Someone cussed amusingly."Foul mouth, as always." Baron muttered and drunk his beer.

"Good thing you escaped this early." And lastly, I glanced at France who's smoking.

"Correction, I escaped so easily." I smirked, boasting. I gained sighs and sarcastic congrats from them.

I sat beside Baron and took one of his beer. They are not even shocked because of my sudden stunt. They already knew me too well. This is where I'm seeing myself. I think this is where I really belong. They are not my friends but their presence is enough for me to feel that I'm not the only one who has fucked up life.
