Chapter 3 3.

- POV LAYLA

After showing us around the school, Kat took us to Maria Luiza's room and introduced us to everyone there, then we went to mine, the same thing happened, everyone was kind, except for one girl, I suppose she must be the queen bee here, I don't know who she is, but I didn't sympathize anymore, after the introductions, we went to sit down and anger sat down next to me.

I wasn't worried about Maria Luiza, she can manage very well without me.

The hours flew by, and when it was finally time to leave, we were barred at the door by the queen bee, standing in the doorway staring at me with a disdainful smile on her face.

"I know you're new, so it's good to know that I'm in charge of this school, if you don't want any trouble, you'd better not step on my toes and stay away from what belongs to me."

I take a deep breath and count to ten, but I'm too angry to function.

It's my first fucking day, what kind of person thinks they have a right over what I say or don't say?

"My name is Layla, why don't you take your pride and shove it up your ass? I'm not from your town, don't threaten me, you don't know me, don't mess with me and I'll do the same to you."

Some people smiled, others applauded, and some booed, I picked up my notebook and left, it wasn't a show to have an audience, I just defended myself.

"Wow, girl, you kicked ass, no one, absolutely no one, stood up to Maya."

Kat says euphorically and claps her hands.

"You haven't seen anything yet, my biju is very angry." Maria Luiza appears in the corridor and I smile.

"I want to know, why are people afraid of this girl?"

"She's the daughter of the mayor of Braston City, she's the rich girl at school, and then there's the fact that my hot brother made out with her, and then declared himself the school fuck."

"Just when you think you've seen everything, you've seen nothing," I say and the redhead smiles.

"Let's change the subject, there's going to be a party at the house, my younger brother Thom is having a party, it's his birthday, and my VIPs are invited."

I am thinking about whether to go, but Luiza has already agreed.

"Come on Layla, will you?" Kat says, putting her hands together and begging me.

"OK, but where do you live?"

"At Caccini Vill."

I'm surprised, as I didn't connect the facts, it's logical, that Katherine Caccini must be the daughter of the owners of the neighboring farm.

"Fuck me, we're neighbors, of course we're going."

My sister said euphorically.

"Yes, you can confirm that, now let's go, otherwise Dad's going to pepper us with questions, and I'm not in the least bit inclined to answer them," I say, we say goodbye to Katherine and head off to where our car was.

When we arrived, Dad wasn't there, but for once his girlfriend was.

We walked straight past her, said hello, and went up to our rooms.

I locked myself in my room, did some homework that the teachers had given me, and then listened to some music. The next thing I knew, it was seven in the evening and I was wondering if I should go to this party.

And I decided yes, Katherine was very polite to us, and this would be my way of thanking her.

I take a shower, dry off, do a light make-up, opt for a tight black dress, and put on boots of the same color.

I let my hair down and perfume myself. I go downstairs and find Malu in the living room walking around like a silly pirouette.

"I know! You thought I wasn't going anymore," I say ironically and she rolls her eyes.

"Let's go, I'm not getting ready for anything," she says and I smile.

We take Antonela's car again, but this time I've asked Dad, but Maria Luiza thinks it's a theft and is quite happy about it.

Yeah, sometimes my sister's character is off, if a mafioso kidnapped her in five minutes he'd bring her back, I'm sure of it.

...

We arrived at Kat's house, and the party was already in full swing, there were lots of people there, from the school and also other people I don't know, I parked the car and we got out, it didn't take long for our hostess to welcome us.

"I still can't believe you've come, and by the way, you look beautiful," she says, hugging us and taking us to where people are dancing, I go to the bar and order a tequila, and the barman serves me and stares at me.

"What's wrong?" I ask and he's startled.

"Girls don't usually drink tequila here."

"Too bad for them, but since I'm not from here, pour me another shot," I say and he smiles, pouring some more into my glass.

I watch the young people dancing and having a good time, no worries, no bills, the Kikkat party is not so different from the ones in New York, except for the marshmallow and the bonfire, and also the guitar circle.

I look at my drink and down it in one go, the liquid dripping down my throat.

"Delicious!" I say, shivering from the cold and regretting not having brought a coat or jacket.

Any one of them would suit me very well right now and would make me hot.

I was about to order another shot, but I was interrupted by Kat accompanied by a handsome, strong guy wearing a T-shirt that showed off his muscles. Six feet tall? And he was accompanied by Luiza, wait a minute... Luiza?

I blink several times to see if I'm seeing correctly, or if it's the tequila that's already taking effect, but it's not possible, I've only had two shots and I don't get drunk easily, I rub my eyes one more time and draw my conclusion.

My sister doesn't waste any time...
