*Knock... Knock...*
Several hits on my door interrupted my beauty sleep. The worst thing you can do to a person with a chronic case of insomnia is wake them up when they have just started to fall asleep. It is pure torture.
Right now, I had the pure intent of killing whoever was behind that door.
*Knock, knock*
'I am going to kill him!'
Yesterday, the hackathon finished pretty late. It became intense by the final hour, and I was so deprived of sleep that I fell into dreamland almost instantly after hitting the last button. The results will be announced later, but I was certain that I won by far. Though, I had to sacrifice precious time in my dreamland.
That's why I made sure to tell little Hannah that I will sleep until the next day as it was a long weekend. I asked her not to come to my room to wake me up.
However, now, someone was so focused on kicking my door down. There is no way that it could be Hannah or any other servants. Only one person could be so ungraceful and stupid.
I got up with a furious face. Whoever was kicking the door was about to experience my anger, and I would surely kick his butt.
"Open the door now!"
The voice of my younger brother, James, resonated through the door. What a ruckus! Even his kicks were making an echo in my head.
I narrowed my eyes and walked slowly towards the door. I arranged my pajamas and my hair to look presentable when I beat him up. He won't make me lose my style.
When I opened the door, he was about to hit it again but stopped.
"What the hell do you want?"
I stopped acting like the original Eve long ago, my family appeared to not mind it at all, they were all busy with their lives. However, this little brat was constantly finding ways to irritate me more and more.
He would use any excuse to make my father or mother reprimand me, and he never lost a moment to humiliate me or bully me at school.
"Go down for breakfast."
"I won't."
"Go down!"
He was about to grab my hand when I kicked his leg. I already stopped going down for breakfast with the family. They would make me lose my appetite very fast, and that father of mine would just give me harsh remarks whenever this brat made a slight insinuation.
"I said I won't, didn't you hear me?"
"You!"
He was looking at me with those angry eyes again. What's with him? Why can't he leave me alone? The others are doing a great job ignoring me, why can't he do the same? Does he want to be punched again? I mean, I don't mind giving him a lesson or two, but it is getting annoying.
I closed the door with a loud sound, leaving behind the crazy youngster.
Later, that day, I woke up from the almost crazy ringing from my phone. Gosh, I wanted to sleep!
I looked at it and found several calls from Maya and some messages from Vin. They were wishing me a happy birthday and I think Maya was calling to take me out.
"Damn, I forgot it was my birthday."
Well, not mine, but the original Eve. Now, I am seventeen years old. I had been in this world for about six months.
Sighs... I feel so old.
I dressed up rather cute for my outing with Maya, she invited me to her house to have a girl's day. My little blue dress and my makeup were making me look like a goddess. After admiring my narcissistic self for not too long, I went to find my precious friend.
I bet she is now ordering food, almost all the food she can imagine, with the excuse of my bday. I hope she calls for a chocolate truffle cake.
Then I went downstairs to find my two brothers chatting with some of their snobbish friends in the reception room. They were all the young masters of respectable families I've never met, and I won't. I did a quick move to avoid them, however, some of those idiots noticed me.
My bad luck... my bad luck...
"Whoa Ian, I didn't know you hid such beauty in your house. How come I've never seen her? You should introduce her to us," a boy with good looks but a stupid face said. I guess he was one of those sons of politicians my brother and father wanted to impress.
If they had their cooperation in the future, my brother could become the heir of grandpa Lark and the head of the family. I knew that it was his biggest wish and for that, he didn't mind selling his own sister and later, his own wife. What a scumbag.
I rolled my eyes and turned away ignoring them. It would be a waste of time to even let them speak to me. I walked towards the door quickly.
"Come back!"
Elder brother's voice was cold and commanding as ever. However, he had never cared for me so, why should I even listen to his words?
I ignored him. My rebellious behavior was so evident that his so-called friends started mocking him.
Take that, you proud master. I bet I hurt his huge ego and pride. Did you think I would ever be at your service? What a joke.
My hand was already on the handle when fast footsteps reached my arm.
"I told you to come right now! Didn't you hear me?"
"I heard you the first time, older brother. I am not deaf, but you are surely not very brilliant, as I was obviously ignoring you."
With a sudden force to pull my arm leaving him speechless, then I opened the door and didn't bother to look at his red face. The mocking laughs of the idiots behind him echoed in the hall.
This day I will live it happily, not minding these boring people and that stupid family.
