Bara bing bara boom !And in an electric wave, I stood in a castle.A for tease would be an understatement.I gave gratitude to Mrs.Rouse . I felt like a commoner invading rich lane.Never in my record of living have I ever seen a colour coordinate of beige with gold.
They left me in the middle of paradise with my suitcases.I would be staying in this magnificence.Almost tear hurling.
The smoothened diamonds.The French butler.Last but not least a family that is not any one bit cliche .Chic would be an understatement.Everything from my wildest dream as a junior piled up in one place.Just Incase you list your path .A huge sign just by the huge door,gate and mail box was written in light-bold choligraphy.
"Welcome to the Rouse's"
I felt honored.I stood to a classy place with a nature fantasy aura that somehow filtered my world in spring yellow.Then came the moment when our eyes met.His emarald eyes to my andelusite eyes.I drifted and sank into the Pacific. Deep down he gave such a spectacular feeling. He dressed at home.He was at home. Took me a sprinkle of reality to make out what he tried to say.
Apologies but my heart was beyond over the moon.But rather floating in the dark matter of the universe. Indeed I was still breathing the same air as his.All I can add to my statement the sky high rocket feel was overwhelming.
"Miss Day welcome ,My son will escort you to your room"
Must have been my rowdy imagination however she glittered as she offered a warm welcome to her humble concede.I felt like a tourist that just dropped by in Africa's luxurious hotels.The adrenaline rush was similar. In my head it rang."A weekend at the Rouse's.
Seemless to say that I expected nothing out of the ordinary.Still arrays of surprises came looking for me.And all of them turned out to be unvailing the geminis in the school grounds.
I admit .I always wondered about Rouse.Espessially his family.Since last time I have never been so obsessed with knowing their occupation.I wondered what he did.How he lived and why he was search a maze.Shy ,reserved yet crafty.And if Maya was a blood relative...In conclusion I needed to be informed.
My luck .Right down the hall was his room.By now the kitchen to the lounge area weren't a misery to me at all.Jackpot! My suspeciouns and senses tingled. Maya never saw me but I saw her.I knew she was there.Aunthentically ,it was impossible not to miss her voice.The genesis began when the alleged chauffeur came by dropping off a young lady to the peaceful.
Everything was well.A warm hearted hug was issued.Maybe a peck on each others to show elegance.She just came in with a bag and held a heavy history book on her hands. She was four-eyed and decorated her blonde hair with butterfly pins.Maya looked different.The only thing that didn't and was definitely true to herself is her intelligence.No debate in that truth.
Her elegance blew up the room.Little to anyone's awareness her inner demon was about to sprout.It was just a matter of time till that moment where her screams would be unforgettable. Actually it became unforgettable in addition to being a sacred scene to witness.
Recall the innocent lonely girl at lunch.The mystery that revolved around her.Just in a snap she pulled me in.Just like that her charm became effortlessly addictive.And just like that she turned to someone new.A much darker version.
Maya's eyes turned red.She was now a bull charging towards Renée. He was helpless.Not because he couldn't do anything to control the bul.But simply because Renée wasn't a coward. His one weapon was his words that rendered useless in the end.
Maya turned to a flowing tap of water.At the end she left with messy hair if a stray kid. The parody party that saved Rouse was the one that surrounded the scene. A shame which is shameless rather.They watched the drama untill full of the commotion.
I spied over the second floor.I watched keenly as the problem arose and as the curtains drew to Maya's haimless act.
Thanks to Nicole (the maid) I caught up on everything.Such a horrible love life those two had.Clearly she took it hard on herself.An hour after Maya dinner was served.

To the thought of having a good impression. Of course Mrs.Rouse was willing to try her best to paint a good image.In fact she was willing to be placed in the awkward position of starting a conversation.As far as I remember it was only she and I talking among five people in the room.
She previously picked others to converse with.Once that failed I fell prey to her persistence. Fortunately her voice was interupted by Apple.
She pointed the question to Renée,"How come you left Maya? Didn't you love her? " Her mother tried to stop her.Who could when she was on a streak on making his brother uneasy.
"She was a screw loose anyway" Said the golden child who got neither scolding or any punishment for disrespecting her elder brother.
Similar to last time he dared not to flinch nor talk back.He kept to himself and showed no emotions. Renée was the only person who had access to his thoughts.
If anything was gained from the dinner table .Might as well be a broken ear from the clucking of plates and spoon as the family ate.Momentums later Renée vanished. As a result he locked himself in his bedroom vowing to never come out until the moon set.
