A high-ends' party bloomed throughout the Pink Palace. A contour of glam, fashion and fun. It's an IT girl flair. It's fabulous. It's 2014.

" The splendid buffet with impressive taste contrasts can certainly blow you away! " the hostess exclaimed.

" That is so true..." answered Kristen, a particular eye-catching guest of long amber hair with an elegant curly 'do. She lifted her wineglass and made a toast with the woman on the left.

It was Erika. A model who looks stunning in a beige fitted back strap dress. The bold Scandinavian of long and white hair in a low pony, light makeup, and a lip gloss garb pretty emphasizes her most beguiling ocean blue eyes. She thought that she was going to sit with her girlfriend Samantha and yet the mad b***h is wooing another girl.

" An absolute philanderer," she said who discerns visually of Samantha and a brown-haired girl making out in front of the crowd, that side of the party is getting wild " I'm gonna get 'cha," she added and drunk in her wineglass.

" Dogs .. " said Kristen while a chewing gum.

Erika looked at her. " Do not fall for one who has eyes for every b***h," she added and winked at her. Erika grinned for an answer.

" You keep your head high..." Zendaya told her, too. She is the girl who occupies the chair next to Erika "...and middle finger higher, " she added. Bella,on the other hand nodded and raised her wineglass with her middle finger up in the air, initiating.

Everyone at hand imitated her and raised their very own middle fingers and toasted their wine glasses.

" f**k you bitches !" they all cheered and laughed simultaneously.

MEANWHILE, ON THE SAME VENUE...

There is Megan. She is a custodian assigned to the left wing's comfort room for the night who was ever in distress with cigarette butts thrown in the toilet bowl. She keeps rolling her eyes upon seeing lipstick stains on the bathroom mirror walls.

'I don't think I would feel cool or something after kissing mirrors of comfort rooms' she thought.

" Si je pouvais simplement tremper la vadrouille que je tenais dans la cuvette des toilettes, je le ferais. Ensuite, je vais l'utiliser pour obtenir ces taches de rouge à lèvres! Devant eux pour qu'ils sachent ce qu'ils embrassent. Il prend beaucoup de temps! " she cursed while trying hard to remove those stains. (If I could just dip that mop in the toilet bowl, I would and then I will use it to get these lipstick stains! I would gladly do that in front of them so they know what they are kissing. Cleaning this up is such time-consuming! )

" You'll do that?" she heard someone say.

Megan glanced back in the hopes that weren't the manager, she was thankful to see that it was just one of the party guests.

It was Erika, a scandinavian model. Megan ignored her and continued what she's doing.

Erika, on the other hand, was wowed upon seeing that housekeeper's countenance. She was drunk but she was not blind. She's so beautiful. Megan is so beautiful. She looked in the mirror and like an i***t, she chuckled.

" Are you really so heartbroken that you even notice the housekeeper?" Erika mumbled to herself and looked again at the housekeeper she's referring to.

Unfortunately, she was dismayed to see her with literally no reaction, she's doing her job with no care in the world and it's a mishap for an unheard mockery.

On Megan's point of view, she seems to notice that Erika was a bit lightheaded, that must be the reason why she talked to herself or mumbling so she ignored her.

After a few minutes, Megan approached someone on the door. It was the newcomer, Khelani.

" Hey," the latter greeted her.

" Thank god you're here," Megan answered " I probably should go,"

" Sure,"

Finally, it is the end of her shift and it is Kehlani's turn.

On the way to St. August, she called Lea, her roommate. Actually, St. August is a boarding school and Party Palace is where she worked part-time.

" Hé, comment va la fête?" Lea asked. ( How's the party goin'?)

" Juste une autre fête de pute," she replied. ( Just another w***e's party)

Lea chuckled on the other line.

MEANWHILE.

Erika was walking down the corridors wondering where that housekeeper would be because her lightheaded state of mind is making her dizzy. They make scenarios all by themselves.

Unexpectedly, someone grabbed her right arm from one of the rooms around, she was astonished to see that someone was Samantha. The ex-girlfriend.

Luckily, Kristen who came from nowhere, held a tight grip of her other arm before Samantha could take her away.

Erika gave Samantha a cold stare and pulled her arm away from her especially when she saw a brown-haired girl inside the room approaching them, the same girl she's wooing in the party.

" Baby, who's that? " the brown-haired girl asked.

Samantha intently looked at Erika in the eyes while uttering the words...

" N-no one,".

It made Erika absolutely speechless and made Kristen curse hard.

What a devil!

Kristen thought she needs to plan something out to get even, she soon composed herself after that menacing act of Samantha. She had an instant plan when she noticed the brown-haired girl gave her flirty looks. She immediately winked her back in a flirty manner.

Kristen mouthed the words 'come here' to the brown-haired girl.

The girl, on the other hand, thought she was dreaming when Kristen held her waist and both of them walked off that corridor after Erika.

It was Samantha's turn to go speechless.

It was 6 in the evening when Lea invited Meg to go to the science lab when she asked her for help with some science and stuff. She had free access to the room for being a top scholar, actually, most of the university's the likes and all.

After a short discussion, Lea stared in disbelief at Megan as she cut through the wrong part of the frog's tissue. Megan bit her lips to stop herself from giggling.

" You b***h !" Lea said and pinched Megan's belly fat. It's the latter's turn to looked at her girlfriend in disbelief, she hated it when she does that! It reminded her of those unnecessary fats.

" What? " Lea asked with a big grin on her lips. She knew Meg hate it " I told you not to cut that part! " she added.

" You devil! " Meg shouted.

Lea laughed and ran towards the room's exit door. She followed her.

" Poor alert," said Alexandria Fiorelli as Megan passed by them.

" She stinks, " said fancy Jane covering her nose, she is Alexandria's cousin.

Megan stopped and looked at her reflection in the mirrored wall behind them. The juice of the dissected frog's gut is all over her white coat. It does smell bad.

" It's a frog's guts," she said in a creepy voice. The girls 'ew'-ed for all she cares.

Megan looked around and found a few students around minding their own businesses. She grinned creepily and placed a piece of paper on her forehead saying ' free hug', that is when the girls ran off for their lives.

Megan and Lea chortled upon their funny disgusted faces.

" It was hilarious! " Lea exclaimed.

Megan (O.View)

Alexandria Fiorelli, the brat, is my schoolmate and she's the queen bee, the cheerleading captain, the sorority leader, and all other popular undertakings whatsoever. She's got it all. That's her.

Jane Aurora Fiorelli-Schmidt, on the other hand, is her cousin. The mean girl number two. She is your best 'white Ariana Grande' there is and I think, the luckiest b***h. She's the girlfriend of the famous Adele Exarchopuolos, such a privilege for her.

" Must be huge baggage," I chuckled. I'm referring to Jane being Adele's love interest.

" You're so rude ! " said Lea. She chuckled, too.

I shrugged my shoulders " She's crazy mean, you know," I said.

" Look who's talking," Lea joked and glanced at me.

" How could you! " I shouted and spanked her.

" What? That hurts," she laughed and rubbed the part where I spanked her.

It is our weekend getaway. We got in her car, on the road for an hour and later parked in the middle of the road. She walked outside the car and took what was in a car's compartment, when I saw what it was, I chuckled. It's a machete.

" Is this some kind of a salvage? " I joked and looked around. We are in between the plain distant trees and shrubs around. It's also windy so I cupped my hair to stop it from dancing.

I turn around and saw the left view being breathtaking, it's a beautiful blue mountain.

When I caught a glimpse of Lea on the side of my eyes, she was looking at the sky and at the blue mountain.

" It's beautiful," I said and calmly breathed in when I felt a cool breeze passed by me. It was refreshing.

Lea stared at me for a while before answering " Yes, she is beautiful, ".

" Stop staring, " I told her. I'm having a blush. Damn. She didn't respond and won't stop staring so I stared back at her.

I was astonished at her blue eyes when it sparkled as the morning light reflected on it. It's as beautiful as the mountain.

I gasped for air when she stopped and stared at me for a few moments more.

" Can I kiss you? " she then whispered, out of nowhere.

I was in awe.

It felt like heaven when she planted a feathery kiss on my lips and whispered the words " I love you,"

I can't feel my face after that.

"Come," Lea said after a few minutes and lent me her hand.

" Where are we going? "I asked, still can't seem to look at her in the eyes.

" You'll see," she replied as she skillfully swayed the machete to cut off those hurdle tall grasses to clear a way for us.

It was a 10-minute jungle walk with a cyclone wire fence waiting at the end of the road.

On the other side, a few meters away is a man standing beside a somewhat, roofless car.

" That's a trailer truck," Lea said.

I looked at her.

" A trailer truck? " I asked curiously.

She nodded and whistled like a pro to call the man's attention. The man raised his hand and waved at Lea.

" He's my brother," she said. I was stunned.

" Leigh? Your brother? I think he's kinda different from what I imagined," I complaint.

" I know," she said and walked inside an opening.

" My little girl, " Leigh greeted Lea with a big smile on his face. He approached her and messed up her hair.

Leigh had a sleek hair sporting a cotton long sleeve casual slim fit in navy blue, denim, and boots. He's in fact good looking and has model proportions with biceps and muscles in their right places. He looked like a cool Mr. goody-two-shoes in particular business garb.

It seemed like I saw a male version of Lea.

" I want you to meet Megan," Lea said.

" Finally, nice to meet you," Leigh said and lent me a handshake.

I was about to take his hand when Lea took it instead.

" We're gonna get ready," she said and pulled me away from him.

Leigh laughed.

" What's wrong?" I asked, puzzled.

" Nothing," she answered.

" Where are we going?"

"Here,"

I followed her gaze. It led me to a house made entirely of glass in the middle of the forest. It was fairytale-like.

" Wow, " I said, amazed.

Suddenly, I was double stunned when two boys come running towards us. I felt like everything today is a surprise.

" Leighton! Jack ! come here! " Lea called the boys and crouched as they approached her.

It was funny how the three of them looked much alike.

" Blue-haired ! " called the kid with the tougher features, he had sleek hair just like Leigh but a mini version.

" Blue haired? " I asked Lea with a questionable look. What the hell?

She laughed and mouthed 'that-is-not-what-you-think'.

I mouthed 'really?' for a reply and rolled my eyeballs.

" Who's she? " asked the other kid with the softer features, his hair was more of a classic taper haircut.

I pointed myself, he nodded.

Suddenly, they all glanced at me got me a bit shy.

" Meet Megan," Lea said and smirked.

" Hi?" I greeted them with a fake smile but I was stuck like a tomato.

Again in a sudden, a man grab my attention while approaching us.

" Finally! " he exclaimed. He's wearing a classic taper haircut just like the other kid but the bigger version " Is that you blue-haired?" he added.

" Jackson," Lea called and met him halfway.

The man named Jackson was squeaking as if he was excited. He hugged Lea and looked at me as if he was so delighted to see me.

" Is that her?" he asked Lea, the latter nodded.

I bit my lip as he approached me and was taken aback when he hugged me so tight.

Lea winked at me when I glance her way.
