"What the hell are you watching?" Ariel's voice asked behind me.
I ignored him, eating another chippy and turned up the volume a bit.
And the Ariel sat on the opposite end of the couch.
"What are you doing?" I asked.
"Waiting..."
I stared at him for a few moments, having no idea what he was talking about.
"I know I am sexy babe, but take a picture or something, it'll last longer."
I threw a pillow on his face before turning back at watching Fairytail.
"Isn't that the anime where the lead is a dragon slayer?" He asked after a minute of silence.
I rolled my eyes then ignore him.
"That anime is pretty cool but a little bit of childish." He said again.
I have no intention of answering him so I took the remote and turned the volume up again, but I heard a click on the door.
Ariel immediately stood up to greet them, but I didn't.
I had no interest in seeing my parents.
"Hello Ariel," My mom said
"Hi Mrs. Vidales."
"Ariel," My dad greeted.
"Mr. Vidales." He said then I heard them shake hands.
"Will you go eat lunch with us?" my mom asked him.
"I am actually going for a run, but Grey told me you're coming so I just waited to say hello." He said smiling.
Such a jerk.
I heard the door close.
I let out a sighed before turning off the TV as I turned my gaze on my parents.
"Hello Princess," Mom said opening her hands for a hug.
I gave her a quick hug.
"You look healthy Princess."
If she calls me Princess one more time, I might lose my mind.
Dad as always already observing the apartment.
"See this right here?" dad aske, pointing to the messy sink in the kitchen.
Oh great.
"Hmm?" Grey asked.
Why engage with him?
"This is the upgrade," dad pointed out, pointing it up." It's the newest from IKEA that has on the market."
Mom rolled her eyes. "Arthur, I'm sure that the kids don't want a rundown of the apartment."
"Oh and the fridge." Dad said ignoring mom." Another upgrade."
"Dad stop looking and observing around." I said irritatingly.
"Why? I just want to know what's new in this apartment," He said nonchalantly. "and besides I want to make sure that the three of you is comfortable enough."
"Especially you My Princess." my mom intruded.
"Mom and we're good here." Grey assured them.
Our parents just nodded as if they're defeated.
"Okay, if that's what you say." Dad said.
After that we just ate dinner while talking random stuffs and how the Vidales Group of Companies' doing.
"So, guys we have to go now. It's getting late." Mom said while taking her stuffs.
"Yeah, we'll stay at Vidales Hotel for a week. We just came here to check on you guys and the branches here."
"Oh, before I forgot." My mom said. "Starting on Monday you're not allowed to go shopping and clubbing."
I immediately turned to her.
"WHAT?!" I Shouted.
"Yes, My Princess, you heard it right. That's your punishment from spending too much this summer." Dad explained.
" But you didn't told me that going to Korea has something in return!" I said panicking.
"No more but Grace."
"Dad, I'm not a minor anymore. I'm already on my last year in college."
"Exactly, you're already graduating. You have to learn how to spend money efficiently." He argued.
"I can't believe you." I said as I walked out to my bedroom.
I almost jump on my bed when I heard my brother's voice.
"Grace," he said. "can we talk?"
"Come in."
"Can you be more respectful to our parents? Even only when we're with them?"
"Why?"
"They're still our parents." He said as if its an obvious thing.
"Your parents, not mine Grey." I said almost whisper.
"Grace..."
"I want to be alone please," I covered myself with my blanket.
I heard him sighed in defeat. He walks out of my room giving me some time to think.
I cried.
"Sorry Grey." I whispered, then fall asleep.
~~**~~
I woke up early this morning with a puffy eyes. I went out of my room and went straight to the bathroom but..
"WAAHHH!!!" I shouted as I see a man inside. "What are you doing here?!" I started to throw everything I see in the sink.
"Hey, what are you doing here! Aw!"
"You jerk, why didn't you lock the door? Ugh"
"Hey! What's happening here?" My eyes widened when I heard my brother's voice.
He punch Ariel right on his face.
"Chill bro, I didn't do anything on your sister. She's the one who came inside while I am taking shower." Ariel explained.
My brother looks at me that made my cheeks red.
"Let's talk outside." Grey said.
"What for?" I asked.
"You. When you finish taking shower we have to talk." He told Ariel ignoring my question.
I just go back to my room as I wait for that jerk to finish so I can prepare myself from going to school.
~~1 Hour later~~
"Grace," Grey started. "from now on Ariel will be the one to bring and pick you to school."
"WHAT?!"
"You heard it right."
I looked at Ariel in disgust. He just shrugged.
"but why? I mean why him?" I asked pointing my finger on him.
"Our parents talked to him yesterday. Ariel agreed to it."
"So, that means I have to be with him every single day? I have my own life." I said wanted to cry.
"That's it. I'm going." Ariel said standing up from the couch.
"Bro, bring Grace with you. She'll be attending her class starting today."
My brother look at me telling me to go and behave. I stood up stomping my feet and walked out of the apartment.
"Hop in," Ariel said.
I rolled my eyes and went inside the car.
There's a dead silence inside the car.
How unfair my life is. My parents are too concern with their money that they even ask this jerk to guard on me.
Hayst what a life.
