After sitting on the couch for a while with Viv I look at my floor and the spilled Sakura Mochi. Just because she's sad I'm not going to baby her, I get up and grab the broom from the kitchen and put it in her hand. "Huh, why are you giving me this-" Before she can finish I point to the food on the floor and she pouts. "Fineee, this is not how you treat your guests tho!" "You're not a guest, you came unannounced." I sit on my couch as my phone beeps simultaneously, All notifications from TikTok. More people are seeing my recent posts from the sleepover at Mirasol's mansion, just more likes, followers, and favorited videos. While Vivza continues cleaning Mira and Kaital text me.
(The following is a conversation held by text)
M: Kaital, Zeilici, tomorrow both of you are needed for a meeting
Z: A council meeting?
M: No, we have great supporters of my family coming
M: Remember what i told you of my arranged marriage
M: His parents will be there
K: When should we be ready Mirasol?
M: Mr. Francis our driver will pick both of you up tonight
Z: Tonight?, I thought it was tomorrow
M: It is but my father insisted, he wants you to be ready bright and early and to
start preparing tonight
Z: Okay, when?
M: Be ready by 9
K: Alright, should we wear regular clothes
M: Yes that should be fine
M: My father will be choosing your clothes
Z: Okay we'll see you tonight Mira
M: See you soon
I look down and see I'm still wearing the dress Mr, Leuola picked out for breakfast. Viv comes over not too long after claiming to be done. "Hey uh Viv, You might need to go home soon." "Huh, why, i don't wanna be alone, especially since my parents are on vacation and my older brother is in his junior year of collage there is literally no one in that house, no one, my parents won't be back for another week!" "Woah girl chill, I have to go back to Mira's house tonight." "Really again, why?" " Some big supporters of Mira's family are coming and her father Mr.Leuola wants us to be there, because we are a part of The Council." "Wow, you know, you're really lucky Zeil, I would die to be a part of The Council, be friends with Kaital and Mira, meet her family, be popular, get to see a hot boy all the time! So, have fun, and enjoy what you have, Zeil." I smile. "Oh course, at first I thought that it was stupid for me to join the Council and I had no idea why I was in the first place, but after meeting Mira's family and getting closer to her and Kaital, I like them because they are nice people, and I like Oka too." "Oka?" "Madam Leuola." "MADAM!, she, she, SHE LET YOU CALL HER THAT!" "Yeah, that's what Kaital calls her so she told me to as well." "Wow Zeil, you're very very lucky." "Thanks Viv, Now you can finish drinking your Boba tea since that's all you have left, your Mochi died." "Well yours didn't, hehe." I make a straight face. "I'm gonna change, brb. " I grab my mochi with me, she ain't finna steal my food. I put on a simple black shirt with a skirt. Simple, like Mira said. Before I go back downstairs I finish my food, I don't want Viv to even get the opportunity to steal. When I go back downstairs, Viv is sitting on the couch waiting for me. "Hey Viv, when are you gonna leave?" "Oh after you leave, Ima just call an uber to pick me up after." "Okay, you wanna watch a movie or something?" "Sure, let's watch a Bollywood movie!" "Bollywood? Why?" "Cuz, I want a nice romantic movie since you're gonna get a boyfriend." "*Sigh* Vivza, I'm not gonna get a boyfriend, I don't even like Liam, like at all." "Then why dontcha introduce me to him, what does he look like, i heard he's tall!" "Yeah kinda, and it's not that easy. Maybe one day Viv." I sit down next To Vivza as she scrolls through Netflix trying to find a romantic Bollywood movie. She finds one from like 1972 and balls her eyes out the whole movie. Most of it i'm on my phone. This girl really has an interesting taste in movies, romance is a thing but 1970's romance of 40 year old people truly is something. After the long movie it's 8:54 and i get ready to go out, Vivza orders her Uber and we both wait outside, The Uber comes first and I wave her goodbye. As I wait for Mr. Francis, the temperature suddenly goes down, night time chills. It was just in the 80's and 90's earlier. I go back inside and grab my purple hoodie. I go back out and continue waiting, I check my phone when I hear the car pull up in front of me. Finally! Mr. Francis came out of the car and opened my door for me. I get in and I see Kaital sleeping next to my seat. The ride to the mansion is quiet. I take a funny pic of Kaital with her mouth open and sends it to both of them, Mira response is laughingly but i guess Kaital had her notifications on too loudly because her phone goes, "BEEP!" She bongs up and looks around like she has no idea of where she is. Man, she only slept for like 15 minutes. She gives me a quick wave before checking her phone.I laugh to myself. Before she yells at me, "ZEIL!" It's too late for her to do anything though! We pull up to the large mansion and here I am, back at the Mansion."
