Chapter 4 - Dinner

"Miss Evaline, Sir has demanded your presence in the dining room for dinner."

Ughh.. I was resting in the room woman!! Yup, show me the way to the kitchen. I mean obviously, I don't know the way. And, viola. Right where I expected it to be. Beside the hall room.

Wow, the dinner got placed on the table just as I sit, cool. It is filled with so many types of food which I can choose from. I could see the guards standing from the corner of my eyes. I don't like this and I don't think I ever will. They are standing and are being starved while we are enjoying the food. They keep us safe. They work for us without thinking of their own family the least we could do is to show some respect and gratitude. Curse you my biological family!! Glad to be different.

"Evaline, now that you are here. We have some rules to follow which 'you' have to follow."

Of course, I am the trouble maker, I am the one who never looked for you. I am the liar. I can go on sir. I can go on.

But I can't say those words so let's just raise my eyes towards the voice of speaker. And ladies and gentleman. It was my father. He was sitting at the head of table. Where head ones should sit. Well, I have to nod my head anyway. Yup, take it as a sign and get over with it.

"1. You will take one of the guards with you whenever you leave the mansion until I assign you your personal guard.

2. You are to respect all your brothers, me, your mother, and no disrespect will be tolerated. You are also to respect your sister. She has lived here all these years, she knows about our life style more then you will ever know.

3. You are going to start your classes from monday. I don't want to hear any complain about your misbehavior.

4. You have to be in the mansion by 10 pm in the night. At 10:30, main door will be locked. "

1. As if they could stop me from doing anything or you will be able to track me.

2. As if you deserve them.

3. Sure, and I am an infant who got birth yesterday.

4. Try me.

Ahh, how I wish to say these things. But I'll pass for now.

Romano Lombardi, biological father of mine, gave me these so called rules to follow. You are annoyed with my presence? Feeling's mutual. But hey, I have to give him a nod of head anyway.

"Daddyy... Look. She is already disrespecting you. She has not said anything to your words. 'She' is disrespecting you."

I. will. kill. you. You are lucky you are sitting here. Or else, I would not hesitate to slit your throat. Your reveling outfit completely show you are a spoiled brat.

Great!! The words of youngest family member of Lombardi family has drawn attention of everyone towards me. Well, I better finish my glass of water first.

"I apologize if you found my behavior rude. Eating and talking together just don't go well with each other in my case. And another reason why I didn't said anything was because I don't have any objection and completely agree to following rules given by you."

Take that!!. In your face brat!!

Lies!! Lies!! But, you don't need to know.

All brothers, guards, maids, the brat and parents were now looking at me. I am not an alien!! Stop looking people!!.. The have.. startled faces, shocked and a little confused? Cool. That just made my day.

Now why is she smirking? Is she expecting her parents to shout on me? Sure. Let him do that too. But, oohh.., will you look at that? Father is keeping quiet. Looks like, his children never talked so formal like that, that's why he is startled. Nice. I know I am rare. Yup just nod your head and continued your meal not like you have got to say something anyway.

"All right, since you have finished. Everyone, introduce yourselves. I will start. I am Josephine Lombardi, mother of these kids."

"I am Matteo, oldest."

"I am Emilio, second oldest."

"I am Sam, third oldest."

"I am Birttany, the youngest, cutest and dearest to everyone. "

Sure, 1. Matteo is not the oldest, I know where my oldest brother is. 2, go ahead, I don't care cake face. 3. 'Mother of these kids'? Seriously? If you hate me so much why bother bringing me back woman? 4. Good. I don't wish to be related to you all anymore anyway.

Well, too bad, I can't say that.

"It's a pleasure to meet you all. You all already know me. I go by the name of Eva." Let's add a little bit of smile.

"Yeah sure. "

"Whatever."

"Who cares."

"No one love you."

Okay, I was just trying to be polite, no need to be rude. What got into their pants and die there?

"I have a question. Am I allowed to ask?"

"Go ahead."

"I don't remember having a sister."

"Well, that is, because I am better then you, filled with more manners. And, don't call me your sister. 'You' can never be 'my sister'. "

Flip of hairs??!! Girl, you are overdoing it. I was not talking to you anyway brat!! Oops, sorry, cake face.

"May I be excused?"

"We had her few months after you got lost. And yes, you may be excused."

Few months after? So in other words you had her to replace me. Lies, lies, and lies. Alright, why is she smirking at me? It's annoying me. Face covered with layers of makeup.

She thinks she is important only because they had her with them all these years. Well, Newsflash!! You are not capable of taking my current position. Ever.

Goshh!! I miss my friends. A lot.

"I didn't expected to see you crying."

"Luke!!.. Stop scarring me stupid. Your moves are being quieter and quieter."

"Learnt pretty well. But hey, don't change the subject. There's a tear drop on your eyes."

"It's just a tear drop cause I miss you."

"Is it?"

"It is. I miss you all. But, by the way, how are you in this room?"

"Magic."

"Can you hug me till I sleep?"

"Of course. You truly sometimes act a baby."

"Shut-up. As if you don't know I love hugs and they are only way to put me at ease."

"How can I?"

"Luke.."

"Hmm.."

"You are the best."

"*chuckle* Your boyfriend is not going to like this."

"He will get over it."

Good thing he followed me, or else I would have been unable to sleep.
