Chapter 20 - A Cry for Help?

After in the Ballroom, which yes, they surprising have one, an Engagement party is held, Hundreds of guests arrive famous Social media stars, actors, Business people, just plain rich people who we all know for no reason, and a lot more, it was filled, everyone was giving gifts to Mira and trying to get her attention. I sat in a chair in the back of the room sipping on punch. It was really boring. Then I saw someone approaching me, a guy, I gasped, Noah Trick. He used to be in The Group, in fact he used to be in The Council. He was in a higher position then Mira, Mira was third when he was first. I heard he got into a fight with the higher ups and they kicked him out. Now he's almost as rich as Mira's parents and extremely popular. "Hello, Zeilici right? I've heard a lot about you." "Yes Hello it's nice to meet you, Noah Trick, I've heard lots about you as well." He chuckles. "So how can I help you?" "You are close with Mirasol and Kaital correct?" "I would like to say that I am." "Help Mirasol. Don't let her marry that man." With that he walks away. I'm a little irritated by this. What does he want me to do? I can't stop her parents. I'm just another teenager used to help boost their fame. I exit the ballroom. I walk down the long narrow halls. I've started to get used to this place. I make a right, then two lefts for the middle east way bathroom. I enter and the lights flicker on. In the mirror written in what appears to be red lipstick says 'Help Her'. Then the lights flicker off. I rush out of the bathroom and end up tripping over the large black and gold heels I'm wearing. I look down the 150 step stairway, am I going to die at 16? "WHOP" Someones holding me. I can't even think straight before someone is shaking me. "Zeilici! Zeilici!" Oh, it's Kyle. I clench my head. I guess I'm alive. I look up at the large stairway. He caught me from all the way down here. " Zeilici are you okay? What the heck were you thinking! You could have died!" He sets me down. I almost trip again. He catches me. "What is it?" "It appears I've broken my heel." "Sit." He says to me. I watch as he takes off the broken shoe. My ankle has turned red, and he's looking at my bare foot. This has gotten embarrassing now. "Does it hurt?" I'm snapped back into my senses. I look down at him kneeling below me. "N–no, not really it's fine, I can just go get another pair." "Really now? Your leg is so red, there's no way it can possibly not hurt. I should take you to-" "No." I turn and see Kaital walking towards us. "She's my friend and she's hurt. I should be the one to help her, since we are like family now. Right Zeil?" I almost sigh in relief, Kaital has saved me once again. I slowly nod. "Good, and most importantly she's a lady, you shouldn't overstep her boundaries Kyle. Not unless you are engaged or married." "I see. I apologize Zeilici, I hope your leg feels better." With that he leaves. "Goodness Kaital, you saved my-" "Zeilici." She seems angry. "Stay away from Kyle okay?
