Chapter 1

I walked through the crowd as I searched for

my ever annoying blonde best friend, Mila.

It wasn't that hard. She always somehow

managed to find me first. She waved at me with her stupid annoying grin while

sitting on a couch along with the rest of our friends.

I rolled my eyes as I walked towards her,

bumping a lot of sweaty bodies along the way and almost spilling their drinks.

However I'd rather clean my best friend’s vomit than being lusted by these

horny sweaty college boys. I feel like they intentionally bumped into me just

so they could have my attention. Ugh.

As I reached to the couch, my best friend

immediately pulled me to her side with a stupid smile of excitement on her

face.

"Damn! I knew the dress would look good

on you!" She exclaimed and I just rolled my eyes.

"Yeah, yeah, whatever."

She giggled. "I'm glad you're able to

make it. I thought your gig would hold you up again."

"You know it's not really the gig. The

guys just keep asking me to stay. I told them that if I don't make it tonight,

you'll have my head for breakfast tomorrow." She laughed and then suddenly

frowned.

"You're damn right." Her face was

serious and scary. I just shook my head in response.

"Heyyy, my favorite girlfriend is

here." In came my other best friend. He sat between me and Mila, his arm

went around m shoulders as he embraced me in one of his famous hugs and kissed

my forehead like he usually does.

"Have you decided for the upcoming

camping?" I arched my eyebrow.

"Dude, that's three weeks from now. Can

we just enjoy your party for now?"

He frowned. "Ugh, hello? Do I need to

remind you that I'm always here to remind you that you always forget our trips

and you just remember it a day or few days before the said date? And then you

don't even bother to ask your parents' permission which makes Mila and me a

huge burnt toast." Mila nodded like a little child agreeing with what Remi

had said.

"She's right, babe. We can't afford to

face your parents' wrath again. They're fucking scary." She said as she

shook her head while raising her hands in surrender.

"Point taken." I agreed. "I'll

ask my parents tomorrow. You could remind me again, Rems." I bumped his

shoulder playfully with a teasing grin.

"Of course, what'll you do without me,

babe?"

I laughed. "I don't know. Maybe free from

your stupid face." Mila and I laughed as he scowled at us.

"You're evil. I can't even believe I held

this party just so I could save your sorry ***." He shook his head with

amusement.

Did I mention that whenever I have a gig, Remi

holds parties just so he could cover me from my parents on finding out what I

actually do in certain events? To be honest, I'm actually a vocalist in a band

who has become pretty popular recently.

Why exactly am I hiding this exciting part of

my life?

My parents never supported me on this. In fact,

they hated the thought of me having a talent in music. They said it was

something that would sway me from the path they forged for me.

I am an heiress. And they want me to stay that

way.

"I know. That's why you're my number one,

Rems." I gave him my full blown smile showing how happy and thankful I am

that he's my best friend.

"Ah, excuse me." Mila protested

sassily. "I'm the original number one here. You're just second number one.

A replacement. My substitute." As she scowled at him.

And now the bickering begins.

"You're just jealous because Kai finally

said it."

"Well, she tells me that every time.

Pity, you just heard it." She spat.

"Kyree!" They called in unison. They

were looking at me with their eyes saying to end this argument by telling who's

who.

I rolled my eyes.

"I'm going to get a drink." I stood

from the couch.

"Hey, I'm going with you." Mila

hollered.

"I'm going to stick with the guys. Catch

you two later?" We nodded as he hugged both of us together around his

arms.

Mila and I went to the minibar they made and

asked for our drinks. She got vodka cranberry for us.

"How was your gig tonight?" She

asked as she drank her vodka.

"The usual." I shrugged. "I had

to hurry back though. I don't want a certain someone having my head on her

plate." She rolled her eyes as I laughed.

"You have every obligation to come to the

parties he hosts. I mean it is for you. Every damn time." She added the

last part with a roll of her eyes and shook her head.

I smiled as I felt thankful to the both of

them. The frat brothers didn't need to know that their leader is throwing

parties just for me. It's our secret. It's our cover.

"I know. I wish there could be another

way to do this." I looked down to my glass feeling disappointed.

"Well I wish your parents wouldn't have

to be assholes and let you live your life the way you want to." She

crossed her arms with a frown, letting herself lean against the counter.

"You're pure talent, Kai. You never failed to let the crowd go wild. Not

every singer or artist can do that. It's a shame that your family doesn't even

know that big part of you. And I'm so angry about it."

I sighed with a smile. As long as these two

support and love me, I feel like it's enough. They're my true family.

"Anyways, you should go have fun

tonight." My eyebrows creased as I stared at her inquisitively.

"Me? Not us?"

"Yes." She grinned with conviction.

"Every party you just sit down and watch us have fun. I didn't let you

wear every dress I bought for you just so you could sit down."

"Hey, you know I'm exhausted from our

performance and I enjoy watching you guys get wasted and feel stupid the next

day." I teased.

"Whatever. I'm not gonna fall for your

excuses. We're gonna find you a guy tonight." I rolled my eyes as I took a

drink of my vodka. How many times did we actually roll our eyes tonight?

"Ugh. I hate your lack of enthusiasm. How

about this? We're going to have a bet."

"A bet?" I raised my eyebrow as I

stared at her bemused.

"Yes. I'm going to find a guy for you and

you're going to go to him, talk to him, dance with him, just whatever it is

that doesn't get your butt attach on a couch.” I laughed at her weirdness.

“He's going to be your company for tonight."

"What if I don't want to?" I asked

challengingly, a teasing grin appeared on my face.

"You automatically give me one thousand

bucks." She shrugged.

I laughed. "What makes you think I'll

actually do it?"

She then pointed her painted index finger to

me. "Because babe, you have no choice. Did you forget when Remi is not

holding any party, you go to my house to 'sleepover'?" While air quoting

the word sleepover.

I narrowed my eyes at her. "You're

evil."

She crossed her arms and said, "No, I

just don't stop until I get what I want. There's a difference." She shrugged.

I smacked her arm while she reacted an ouch.

"If I win, you give me that two thousand bucks for being spoiled and I get

to 'sleepover' at your house anytime." Making sure to emphasize the said

word.

She grinned at me almost mischievously.

"Deal."
