It was the start of a new week, and I was more than glad to resume school.
I had pretty much adapted to Greenville High, and everything seemed about normal now.
The past few days that came, I tried my best avoiding Cameron.
Be he in the living room, I would proceed to clean up another place. I even begged Denna once to help me clean his room, all because I avoiding running into him.
She passed on a suspicious look, when I pleaded with her to clean his room, throwing ninety nine questions at me, as to why I didn't wanna clean his room, and I just lied.
After much pleas, she finally agreed to it.
I did succeed in avoiding him for the weekend, and I only hoped it would go on.
Here I was now in school, praying I wouldn't run into him, not even his back.
Students were scrambling about in the hall, and seeming like a proper student, I joined in.
I made way to my locker, prying it open to grab some books, and right then I heard a voice behind me.
Bright long hair and light brown eyes came into view the instant I turned around.
Eyes squinting at me, Savannah peered on at my figure, pushing closer to face.
"You look really familiar" She spoke.
I forced a smile on my lips at once, trying to walk away, but her words stopped me at once.
"I've seen you before" I heard her say, and just then her eyes widened.
"Yes" She exclaimed.
"You're the maid from Cameron's house"
"what are you doing here?" She questioned, grinning from cheek to cheek.
"I school here"
My words caused her grin fading slowly, eyes broadening a bit, staring intently at me for a long while.
"No way you're schooling here" She uttered
"I mean, this is not just any regular school" She added almost immediately.
I stared at her blankly, already speechless.
Never did I think people still behaved like this even in this present age.
"Well, I do" I responded.
"If you don't mind, I have to get to class"
Her gaze went up and down my body, eyes accessing my clothing. I noticed her brows furrowing while her lips remained upturned.
She remained staring for a few moments, more like inspecting every bit of me, and in a second, she stopped, finally peering into my eyes.
"Sure" She replied immediately, giving me the fakest smile I've ever seen.
With that I turned away, hurrying to class, leaving the girl who had so decided to shaken the start of my day.
***
I was back at the mansion as usual, working my hands off.
Ever since the leave of Miss Tara, no one directed and guided us on what to do. The maids just did whatever they deemed fit to, and at their own convenience, they would leave.
There was no one to supervise, and ensure the completion of chores. Only now did I get to know how useful the presence of Miss Tara was. The lady was the only one who knew how to get every working maid in check.
In fact, ever since her exit, my chores had only doubled. It's like the other maids left all the work for me, perhaps punishing me for what I knew not. Yet, there was no one complain to.
Stepping into the living room, I found Cameron, Logan and Tyler discussing. They hadn't notice me walk in, so quietly, I moved over to a corner beginning my duties.
"Hey guys" The voice of Ashley called aloud, as she stepped into the living room, approaching the figures of Cameron, Logan and Tyler.
"Guess who's contesting for prom queen?" She cooed, holding out the paper held in her hands.
"Kaitlyn?" Tyler teased, his eyes focused on the figure away
"Who's Kaitlyn?" Ashley asked confused, taking a pause for a moment.
"Anyways" She went on.
Bringing out a number of flyers, she handed one each to the boys, her lips doing the talking in the process.
"I am contesting for prom queen" She announced.
"You're not even a senior" Logan stated at once, eyes fixed on her.
"This year's prom seems to be combined. It's for everyone" She sighed, lecturing the boys who seemed not to have a clue of whatever was going on in their school "And this gives me the opportunity to be prom queen!" She squealed
"You better vote for me" She said immediately, pointing a finger to them.
"Well good luck with that. Cause I heard Savann.... Logan stopped himself at once, eyes turning to look at Cameron who seemed not to be fazed at all.
"Don't say the S-word" Tyler joked, a chuckle leaving his lips.
"He's gonna throw a tantrum if you do" Tyler added as he and Logan did an impression of Cameron and Savannah.
Their teasings resulted in a warning look from Cameron, who watched them act out, and at once, his eyes shifted to the direction where I was cleaning.
Gaze meeting mine, he stared on at me, the silence which filled the room caused a lot of tension building around me.
"Kiss me, Savannah" Tyler did a perfect Cameron impression.
"I don't talk like that" Followed a response.
"Yes you do baby" Logan uttered in his best high pitched Savannah's voice, his hands going over Tyler's, while they both acted out as lovers, enjoying how they mocked their brother.
"Guys! Are you even listening to me?" Ashley exclaimed at once, snatching the attention of each boy.
"To be honest, we aren't" Logan stated.
He chuckled immediately with Tyler, both boys bumping fists together.
"You guys are hopeless" Ashley stated.
Just about leaving the living room, going away from their teases, she stopped suddenly, eyes peering at my figure.
"You attend Greenville High, don't you?" I heard her say, while I just stared blankly at her
"Yes" I uttered softly.
"Oh, thank God!"
"Here's a flyer, please vote for me" She rushed her words.
"And you guys too"
"We're not voting for you, Savannah. We'll be busy voting for Kaitlyn"
"For the thousandth time, there is no Kaitlyn contesting!" Ashley exclaimed.
"Really?" Logan questioned
"It's just me and that bitch!" Ashley uttered.
"I guess we're gonna vote for her then" Tyler said jokingly.
"You wouldn't dare" Ashley called in a low voice, figure moving slowly to Tyler's.
"I am your sister. How can you vote for someone else? Not just anybody, Savannah of all people!" Ashley yelled, turning around then storming upstairs.
"You were joking right?" Tyler asked Logan the instant Ashely was out the room.
"Of course" Logan chuckled
"Ashley doesn't need to know we'll be voting for her" Logan replied.
He laughed with Tyler, while they both turned to look at Cameron.
"So, have you and Jake.....Logan began to speak, but cut off by Cameron at once
"Don't mention his name near me" Cameron growled, getting up the couch, and then walking out of the living room.
"Told you he was gonna throw a tantrum" Followed the voice of Tyler.
Both boys remained where they were, just watching the figure of Cameron advance further away.
