Ami's Pov.
"Victoria Amethyst Young!." I sigh as I heard the familiar voice and raise my head towards the door of the classroom.
Two long braided hair woman with narrow eyes, wearing a casual yellow summer dress with paired of Black sandals, having fair skin tone, and a signature bag on her shoulder, together with her two henchmen, entered the room and sat on my table.
She lean towards me and place her lips near my ears. "How does it feel to be rejected by the person you loved?." She whispered in my ears.
She parted from leaning on me and sat cross-legged. I smile at her genuinely. I know her since high school, she is everyone wants because of her beauty, Blair Ivy Campbell.
"I don't know what you're talking about." She just make an "oh" expression while placing her fingertips on her open mouth. Even her friends did the same reaction, which is also my former classmate in high school.
"Oh poor you." They mocked at me all at once and laugh hysterically. I forgot to tell you that they're a bit insane.
"How about you? Does he even know you exist?." I asked that made them stop laughing. "What did you say?" She asked angrily. "Do I have to repeat it when we know you clearly hear what I said?."
I've been holding back with her picking a fight with me since we we're in high school. But now i won't stay still. I'll fight back because I never did something to her.
Well... she started quarreling with me when I met a man she like who became my boyfriend oops Ex-Boyfriend i mean.
"Are you going to strive against me? So bold of you huh?" She said teasingly. "Why? Are you scared if I do?"
Her triumph smile faded as I stood in front of her after asking her. For the record I'm now taller than her.
I won't be defeated by this little monkey donkey who got all the attention just because of her beauty they're saying.
"Ivy Ivy Ivy, Should I call you Hedera?" I asked teasingly while stroking her hair and flip it to her face.
I even see a confuse look in her face. I copied what she did earlier. I place my fingertips on my mouth and say "Oh too bad, you have the name Ivy but you didn't know the meaning of it?. Well I can tell you a very little information about your name..." I said while emphasizing the last words i said.
I continue speaking while placing both of my hands on the side of the table she's sitting and lean on her and looking directly into her eyes, my classmates we're looking at us now like there's a taping from their favorite soap opera and the scenario was exciting because the face off is starring by the protagonist and antagonist of the Drama.
"... Ivy is a genus of twelve to fifteen species of Evergreen Climbing and ground-creeping woody plants in a family of Araliaceae,..."
I sat back at my chair not daring to taking my eyes off of her. "...And just like what Ivy is doing to Araliaceae, you we're a person who is anxious to get a higher social status by climbing to those who's really fit in the family of Araliaceae or should i say rich people, in short Social Climber."
I got a slapped on my face that I expected to get. "I'm not a Social Climber you wrench!" She shouted while raging in anger and breathless after shouting.
"Are you?" She looked around and saw and hear the students inside the classroom gossiping about her.
"Look at her dressing like that as if she's really one of them." - girl 1
"She's always picking on Amethyst even if the girl is not doing anything." - girl 2
"She probably felt embarrassed now that Amethyst called her Social Climber. Well it fits in her." - boy 1
"What a shame." - girl 3
"I almost make a mistake of courting her." - boy 2
She look around and saw all the student are slighting at her. She sigh and turn her gaze or should i say glare at me. "We're not done Amethyst. I'll make you suffer! I swear."
She walked out of the room after snarling at me. I sigh and sat tremblingly on my chair. My other classmates walks towards me and keep asking me if I am okay. I say I'm fine but I know that I am not, and I will never be.
I'm not really into cat fights, it's not a lady like you know, but I needed to defend myself from her, I've had enough. I want to live peacefully.
After my classes, I walk faster out of the Lewis University to reach Mrs. Divine Richford because she'll be leaving for Richford Village with her husband. I'll be the one who's gonna take care of the house for the meantime. And also to be her nephew and it's friends maid.
I have my own house at Lewis too but there's nothing to be taken care off there since I'm living alone, I only have the dresser, my Bed, no television nor telephone, kitchen things like tongs, spoon and fork, plates, rice cooker and etc. There's really nothing there, I only buy what I needed the most.
"Finally you're here." She was relieved when she saw me running, Lewis University is Ten minutes walk from Lewis Ville but I run as fast as i could just to reach them.
"Am I late Mrs. Richford?" I asked. She smile at me genuinely and shake her head. "You're just on time. All you need to do is to clean the house, even the guest rooms. Okay? And let the guests choose their own room okay?. You know that this house is only Vacation House. You can also stay here anytime you want since you have the spare key with you and I already prepare your room, its on the first floor just enter the house on the left side." She said Immediately.
"Are you leaving already?" She frown at me. "Unfortunately Yes, we need to hurry since we're chasing my Nephew so I can tell him that he should expect someone here."
I sigh. "Last question Mrs. Richford. Are they only guys? Are they good?" I asked nervously. You cant blame me from being nervous. I've never been with a bunch of guys my entire life so I should know if they're good or not.
"Yes, they are a group of gentle guys. You know I won't let them stay if they're not. Right?" She assures me. "Trust me. I won't let them harm you."
"I'll take care of them and the house then." I assure her and she hugged me, i hugged her back. As soon as they left me in front of the house i Entered and look for my temporary room, I place my things on the study table and locked the front door before leaving the house.
I went home, my home I mean and get the things I needed. T-shirts, Shorts, pants, pajama for my sleepwear, Underwears, personal hygiene etc.
I went out carrying my bag while taking my phone out of my cardigan pocket that I'm wearing, the weather is slightly cold since winter is coming. I saw a bunch of messages from my only best friend Stacy Blake and started reading them on the way to Mrs. Richford's place.
Stacy's messages
Where the hell are you? I thought you want me to help you cleaning Mrs. Richford's place?
Hello there?
Com'ere faster or else I'll drink your strawberry milkshake.
Where the hell are you?
If you didn't make it in five minutes after reading my messages then I'll leave.
What took you so long?
Hey I'm starting running out of patience.
I left.
End of Stacy's messages.
That's what the messages I received from her. I shake my head. As if she can resist me. I know she won't leave because you won't sent a message to a person you we're waiting before leaving. I sigh and put my phone and fix my bag hanging on my shoulder and started walking while wondering.
If you're wondering why I am alone. It's a secret I never tell. Stacy is the only person knows my reasons.
We we're childhood Best Friends. She came from a wealthy family but that doesn't mean she can't be Friends with a person like me. She said she'll better to have me alone than having a bunch of friends who's not true to her.
I was touched by that time because those we're the times I'm struggling. And I'm so thankful that I have her by my side through the abyss of my misery. From my home to Mrs. Richford's. It takes 3 to five minutes walking to reach their house.
I saw Stacy leaning against the wall where Mrs. Richford's place where. I smile as i saw her. I told you she can't resist me.
I started walking fast, as I reach her she just pouted and glared at me. "I've waited for almost ten minutes." She's now throwing tantrums while I'm unlocking the gate. "Sorry to keep you waiting. I didn't pack last night since i review my Lessons to answer my tests this morning given by our professor." I apologize. She took my bag and gave me the strawberry milkshake that the ice has melted.
"Never In my wildest dream I've ever dream of waiting for you just to clean this biggest house here at Lewis Ville."
"Still thanks for coming." I said ignoring her tantrums. It won't help us if I tolerate that kind attitude of hers.
"Put my bag on the room at the left side of the first floor near stairs. I'll just go and get the things we need to clean the first five room and a movie theater room at the third floor."
I didn't get her answer and walk towards the cleaning room where all the cleaning stuff's was placed.
I came back holding two dustpan and two broom, 2 glass cleaner and a wiper. Every room in this house is clean according to Mrs. Richford. All we need to do is to make sure that it is really clean, after all she and her husband is only the person who took a vacation. Their children just fetch them to go to Richford Village. I wonder if they own that expensive village.
Stacy took the other one of the said things I'm holding, the dustpan and Broom I mean. And we head of to the third floor. First thing you'll see is the Cinema room, i can see it from the outside since it has a soundproof sliding door.
I went to the left side where the largest three bedroom were and Stacy went to the right side.
I look around and choose the first door, As i open the door and met the view of the room my eyes almost pop out, this room is insane. The room has a cream color and the only thing that has other color was the chair. This is really a beautiful room.
I started lifting the heavy rug and sweeping the floor. Only dust has it all, the glass we're really clean. Probably they maintaining this room.
Second room is also huge and better the the other one i cleaned. It has Chandelier touch of white with blue and silver color. The bed is huge that the first one and it was like you're in a hotel room. My gosh who was their architect, he must be wise to design this kind of rooms.
I go out of the room after doing the same thing i did in the first room. I went to Stacy and saw that the one she's cleaning was the most beautiful one. Chandelier, customize chair, veranda, television is hanging on the wall, book shelves that has no book. Wooden design floor, fireplace, in short, a perfect room.
"How did Mrs. Richford achieved to have this kind of house, you know, its really fancy and like you we're on a hotel. My gosh, who's her Son, can i court him and take this house if ever he became my Husband?" Stacy said jokingly that made me smile. "Unfortunately All her Son is a married man."
I said and walk out of the room. She snarled at me but i didn't understand what she said.
As i went down on the second floor the first thing you'll see was the private sala, it's exclusively for the family only. The private sala has all white furniture that has the touch of blue color, Television was hanging on the wall the side of it has the same painting i didn't know what means is and a cabinet and above is a vase and some figurines, at the center of white Sofa's was the wooden coffee table and on the left side is the c.r.
I head straight to the hallways we're the six rooms were. And started looking each of the room.
The first room was really simple. Single bed , two bedside table, mirror, and cabinet.
Second has the white and blue color room, lamp, painting that's not hanging on the wall, and so on.
Third is the black but fancy yet manly style room.
Fourth was black and white color room.
Fifth is darker gray color room and has a whole window wall. Very manly.
And the sixth has a single bed above it was three framed jersey, two bedside table, wide window that has royal blue curtain and rug.
I started cleaning the last three because Stacy already occupied the first three rooms. She even warned me not to disturb her when in fact she's the one who's always going to the room I'm cleaning when she's done cleaning her post.
After that we head off to the first floor, she went to my temporary room and she said she'll sleep while I'm cleaning the first floor. The temporary room I'm telling is quite beautiful, Good for a girl cause it has a girly design.
After entering the front door of the house you can see the sala that has the touch of brownish color.
And the dinning and kitchen area is absolutely beautiful.
Then next is the laundry and stuff room.
After cleaning the first floor i decided to cook our dinner for today. Maybe Stacy really got tired because she's still not around.
Well this is me, in the last five years of my life, wondering the Beauty of each house of Lewis Ville.
I miss everything I have before but I had to give it up so I can get out of his grip and his expectations of me. Its really hard to be away from them, no one that I can lean on. Now only Stacy is all I have. I hope everything will be fine. I hoped the guy Ivy mentioned earlier, i hoped i didn't meet him, it makes me regret following him to San José, i hope I'll never see him again..
