My friends or rather best friends Jessie, Amelia,Howard and me were seated in our usual spot in the center of the lunchroom. All four of us came from rich families and were popular but mainly because we were rich.We weren't really the mean girl or the am better than everyone esle type also we don't like too much attention. All of us was of the same age except for Howard and we were quite good looking people.
As usual I was cornering my crush Joseph through my right eye. He was one of the most popular,smart and gorgeous guy in school.I have been crushing for awhile now,two years but he as never noticed me.It was like I was invisible to him even though we made eye contact a few times." Hello,McKay?"Amelia said waving her hand in front of my face. " Uh," my eyes widened as I stared at her confused." You're drooling,"Jessie chuckled." Really?" I questioned. " No, your mouth was just hanging on the floor," Howard stated blankly then started texting again. "What- I mean who have you been staring at?"Amelia asked. "Obviously the Joseph guy again. If you like him so much why not tell him," Jessie replied." I can't. I don't know if he likes me," I protested with a slight smile."Staring ain't gonna do you no good,"Howard chuckled.I frowned and replied," I will tell him" They all gave me a impatient look." When?" they asked in a chorus." Someday," was my playful answer.They rolled their eyes bursting into a faint laughter.
"Sweetie," Mom greeted me on the front porch."Good evening Mom," I greeted her back with a happy hug." Why are you not at work?" She did not reply but opened the door and pulled me straight to her room locking the door.As soon as we entered she spoke with excitement," Our neighbors have came back!" I gave her a puzzled face." What neighbors?"
"Our neighbors that had moved away two days after we arrived.I was contacted by the Blake's company a few days back.Their company wants to sign a contract that is over a million with our company," she explained still excited but more in a business like manner. I knew mom as been struggling with the Company lately, this contract could maybe save us but the Blake Family.I started to have flashbacks of what happened the pasted year. " Mckay," I felt mom slightly shaking me." Are you ok?" I nodded," Yes continue!"I tried to hide my fear."And they have came back to sort out some business.Tonight we will be having dinner with them.They have two lovely children.A son around your age and a four years old daughter," she continued, " You should get ready before 6pm!" I smiled and pushed back my anxiety." I will !"
I knew this is mportant for my mom and the company so it's best if I push back all my childish past events. Even if it means having dinner with the Blakes! I gulped." Mom, I gotta go now. I have homework,"I half lied." Ok baby," She hugged me." Don't be late! "
Admiring myself in the mirror I ensured that nothing was out of place.I don't really fancy caked up makeup so I used light makeup.My blonde hair styled into a side braid ponytail,stary night sky asymmetrical dress,cute black d'Orsay flats, the sliver chanel necklaces and bracelets made my eyes stand out. My mom insisted that I dressed fancy but I managed to convince her to make me wear flats.It was fifteen minutes to six.
Walking down the stairs I felt like a princess; that happens alot.My mother was dressed in a red bodycon dress and busy helping the chef and maid organizing." Wow," she placed a hand over her mouth when she saw me." You look amazing." I blushed. " I would say the same to you mother.Your dress sure shows off all those curves," I paid her back a compliment.Ten minutes later we heard the door bell ring.My mother hurriedly opened the door and greeted our four guests.The Blakes were absolutely exquisite and elegant; the definition of drop dead gorgeous.Their skin was pale like,hair jet black but they had different eye colors.The mother and daughter had hazel brown eyes while father and son dark green eyes.But still their presence made my blood boil in a odd scary way.
"This is my daughter Mckayda,"mom introduced me. I could feel their eyes know roaming my body." Good night, Mrs and Mr Blake and-" I greeted shyly. " Your daughter is so beautiful," said both Mrs and Mr Blake." Yes,she is lovely.Am Nathaniel," their son replied staring straight into my eyes.My face got really hot and I knew I most be looking like a tomato! I need to control myself. "Am Ciara," little Blake spoke grabbing a hold of my hand."Where is the wake?"she was her question.I somehow don't fear holding her tiny hand but Nathaniel's eyes that never left my body gave me the chills." You mean cake," Mrs Blake corrected her."Yes, I want strawberry and vanilla wake,"her voice small,soft and angelic. " Then let's go for cake," mom announced.
We all sat around the dining table.Ciara sat on between me and mom while Nathaniel was face to face with me.My mom and the Blakes were discussing business as we ate.Our menu includes:Lobster Frittata,bluefin tuna, curried pork,vegetable salad,Kinmemai rice, grape wine, Juice Press, black diamond ice cream and Vanilla Cake.The longer I sat the more impatient and nervous I got.Nathaniel never spoke to me but Ciara and I made small conversations.Soon after mom left with Mr and Mrs Blake to her office. I was even more afraid now. Have they planned to kill us separately two on one.Ciara wouldn't harm me I guess. Since the we have finished dinner we decided to go to the living room.
"She likes you," Nathaniel broke the silence. I look down into my lap to see a sleeping Ciara."She doesn't usually like strangers or even some of our own family members but she held your hand and insisted on sitting with you," he explained." "Oh," I replied blankly." I know that you saw me that night," he spoke." What?" I asked dumbly. " Three years ago," He explained. "I don't know what you are talking about," I stated actually lied. " Well-" he was cut off by other parents."Their you guys are!"mom said/yelled.I looked down to the floor.
