Chapter 3 - Prologue

'Deceive everyone. Hide your real identity. Gain friends with your masks and if your already close to them, tell who you really are. See who's going to stay and other that will left you hanging. '

I just smiled as I wrote these words in my journal. From the beginning, this is what I want.

For me, it is better to be a simple person. The type that you will not have a friend just because of your wealth and they will not love you because you are famous or whatever.

Deceiving everyone is the key if you're testing if they're real or not. There are people who have a lot of friends, but they're not real with each other. Some are people doesn't really love each other, they are just using each's fame or wealth.

"Crystalline, are you ready?" My older brother asked and sat down next to me.

I smile and nod. I first hid my journal in the drawer because I had no intention of bringing it. "I'm a bit scared, brother." I said and hug him.

I felt his gentle kiss on the top of my head. "You did it well, princess. If anything happens, Dad and I are just here. You are our princess."

I just smiled at what he said. I let go of my older brother's hug then took my suitcase and luggage. "Come on, brother. Maybe the plane will miss us."

He jokingly messed up my hair and went out of the room at the same time. We went straight to the parking lot where Mommy and Daddy were waiting.

Mommy sweetly smile at me. "Don't worry. You did it well." She cheer me up. I smile and hug her.

Daddy also hugged me then we got in the car. All the way to the airport I was just looking out the window and thinking about what might happen.

I'm scared even though I shouldn't. Dad and brother were just there to protect me but I was still restless.

After a very long flight, we're already here in San Francisco, California. A lot has changed because I was only twelve years old when we left San Francisco. I'm already seventeen now that's why i'm happy that we're here now.

We have also been in Russia for five years and I can say it is really better here in the San Francisco. After all, what happened to me in Russia was just a calvary.

Homeschooling, just one friend, and another ...

"Take a break, Crystalline. Do you want to enroll by yourself or just leave it to dad?" I shook my head while looking at my older brother and smiled sparingly.

"I'll just enroll myself. But, come with me." I sniffed so he laughed and raised his hand to mess up my hair but i quickly avoided. "That's a lot for messing my hair, brother Cryston Dylan Xai Maixity!"

He raised his hand as if giving up. "Chill, not anymore. But ..."

I raised an eyebrow at him. "But?"

He gave me a cheeky smile so i knew what he was going to do immediately but before i could avoid it his two hands pinch my cheeks very hard and at the same time squeezed. I screamed and slapped his hand but he just make a harder pinch on my cheek even more.

"Brother! Shoppptthatt!" I stopped him but he just smiled and stuck his tongue out.

"What did you just say, 'more'?" He even teased.

"I shaid, shtop." I shouted again but he pressed even harder. I was about to kick him as he quickly let go of me and ran out of my room.

My nose dropped because of the pain so I touched both my cheeks and faced the mirror just in front of my bed. I extended my snout even more when I saw my two cheeks were red as if I had blushed on so my head immediately warmed up.

I just didn't chase my older brother because tomorrow I will retaliate against him. I will consume the contents of his ATM card! My cheek hurts every time he pinches it, so his wallet should hurt as well.

"Look at the Louise Vuitton bag brother! I want that!" I said happily to brother Cryston while pointing to the displayed bag. I immediately pulled him inside.

"You're retaliating me, aren't you?" He said while pouting his lips. Not a joke but, my older brother is so handsome.

I laugh and encircle my hand on his arm. "Of course! My cheek hurts."

My older brother just shook his head and talked to the store staff but I noticed the woman's flirtyness with thick lipstick on her lips and so much make up. He even had beautiful eyes on my older brother and she was very close on him.

I stepped aside from my older brother and waved but the woman did not notice me because she was staring at my brother.

"Hey you." I said and pointed at her. She looked at me and raised an eyebrow. What the! "Don't you ever dare to give my brother that fucking slutty smile and dog eyes. You just look like a dog with so much make up so back off." I said loudly so some of the buyers turned around and laughed because of what I said.

I felt my brother's hand holding my arm but I did not look at him. I just focused my attention on this clown dog who is now pale and embarrassed because of what I said.

I just stared at him and turned to my older brother who raised an eyebrow while looking at me. "Let's go, brother. I don't want to buy." I said pulling him out.

"What the heck is that?" He asked irritately with his eyebrows still raised.

I sniffed and pressed my two index fingers together and approached him. "I told you. I just want Alexa for you."

He scratched his forehead so hard that he seemed frustrated with me. "And I told you too, Alexa is just my friend."

I shook my head and narrowed my eyes at him. "No. Alexa is your ex-girlfriend. She told me that."

He let a hard sighed as if giving up. "Okay but she's just my friend. Do you want to stroll around or do you want to go home?"

I nod. "Let's go home. I've lost my appetite. Just, you are not allowed to have a girlfriend, only Alexa should."

He shook his head and ignored what I was saying. "Let's go."

He was about to pull me but I shook. "You go first, brother. I'll just buy at Starbucks."

"Are you sure?"

I just nodded and left him to go to Starbucks. "Two Americano, grande size. Take out."

I quickly walked out of Starbucks after I picked up my order and paid. I'm sure my older brother is bored, he still has no patience.

I would have gone straight down the escalator but I was just slapped on my own forehead when I felt the call of nature.

I just went straight to the comfort room. I stopped walking fast and looked around as I felt as if someone was looking at me.

"Ahh!" Suddenly someone grabbed my belly with a large hand and pulled into the boy's comfort room.

I struggled from his grasp but I could not shout because of the hand that covered my mouth. Our face is also very close because I can feel his breath on my neck as well as his body that is already attached to me.

"Shh. I'm harmless." He whispered and I gently touched his lip to my ear which brought horror to me.

I could not move nor could scream as he slowly removed the hand on my mouth. I know he's a boy. His fragrant scent smelled so good. And his breath smells like lavender and roses.

It's a bit girly but the sensation is drooling my body. His voice sends tickle to my tummy. I wanted to see him but the lights inside the comfort room turned off.

My previous fear increased when i felt his weak push on me so i leaned against the wall. It was as if he was nailed to the stand because of his arms on the other side of me.

I knew his face was close to mine but he came even closer and i felt him stick his forehead to my forehead.

My breathing quickened when our noses hit correctly. My lips parted and I tried to speak but no voice came out of me.

I jumped as he slowly lowered his hand to mine and held it tightly.

He was still not satisfied with our approach and he clung even more as we raised our hands to my head. He folded it over my head with one hand.

I close my eyes when i feel something soft touch my lips. It's his lips. I felt him gently bite my lip so i didn't open my eyes.

His lips form to a smirk before his tongue troll inside my mouth. For a few more seconds he stopped and rested his lips on my cheek then lowered my hand he had been holding above my head.

He was breathing fast and soon i felt his soft lips touch me quickly again.

In a flash he suddenly separated from me, i heard a loud closing of the door at the same time the light was on but, he was gone.

I looked at myself in front of the mirror and exhaled the air i had been holding back. I raised my hand to my reddened cheek and dropped to my reddened lip.

I slapped myself hard but immediately winced due to the pain. It's not a dream. It's not a dream!

It is true. It is true that some stole my first kiss and i did not know or even saw on his face. It's my first kiss but he just stole it.

But the question is, Who the hell is he?
