And why is that exactly?"The grumpy brother stomps his foot like a gorilla
"I mean like, I want to have a sleepover with my bestie but like... I'm not exactly comfortable sleeping with a boy around me. You know like since you guys are siblings it might be fine but when someone else is here. I kind of feel uneasy." I told them, as an excuse. Well, I needed to bait someone for my trap. If it can't be Celestina might as well that annoying brother.
Celestina went into deep thinking, scratching her head until suddenly a lightbulb lighted up into her head. As if she thought of an idea.
"I think it's actually a good idea!" She muttered to Lawrence. His eyes widen for a second before reverting back to an apathetic expression.
"And how is me, going away from my own dorm room and going to someone else's dorm room. A good idea exactly?" The brother protested the idea.
GOT DAMN IT. JUST AGREE TO IT ALREADY SO THAT YOU CAN DIE A HORRIBLE DEATH ALREADY. I muttered inside my mind as I'm keeping my fake smile as they conversed with one another.
"Well, since we only have two beds right here. You can go sleepover at her bed so we can be together for a while more! Isn't that the perfect plan? Also, I've never really had a sleepover so please let me!" She begged her brother with her puppy dog eyes. I think the brother is emotionally weak so I'm pretty sure he'll just agree any moment now.
"Fine! I'm going there once, I finish my shower here. Now would you excuse me... I'll go ahead and take my shower in my room." He grabs his towel and decides to go head to his room where there's a bathroom there.
Bingo. Excellent.. Finally, and here I thought, he'll act difficult and be a bitch about it for now I'll just have to convince Celestina that I'm scared or someshit so I can have her feeling so sorry for me that it'd be easier to manipulate her when I need her.
I pretended to look pale and nervous as if I'm scared or something. Of course with my acting prowess, I'm able to pull off a convincing facade that she was coming onto me with a concerned look on her face.
"Hey? Are you alright? You've been really down as of now?" She asks me, placing her hand on my back and tried to comfort me.
"Oh.. I'm just really anxious... actually... the reason I wanted to switch is that the lock on my door is kind of broken. I'll be able to fix it tomorrow but I can't really at the moment. So I decided to sleepover here. I'm sorry if this is an inconvenience for you.." I timidly spoke to her, pretending as I was shy and a bit embarrassed to send Lawrence over to my room.
It's warm. It feels so good to feel this warmth, like a true friendship and a real concern for me. Too bad she's going to have to die for my plans to happen. Sorry, Celestina. You're a nice person but that's why you're going to die.
"How about some tea to calm your nerves down? You seem to be getting fidgety and nervous..."She offered me some tea to calm me down, I guess my acting was good enough to fool her.
I smiled agreeing for some tea. "Of course. Thank you." I gave her a soft smile before sitting down at the dining room table. Scanning on the area to look for any potential weaknesses or anything I can exploit for some advantages. Honestly, now that I know about it. I don't even know anything about Celestina...
We decided to make some tea for a bit since she wanted to calm me down from something. She grabbed a kettle and heated some water. After that, she put a teabag in our cup and poured it into the water. The water starts to turn brown, releasing a relaxing fragrance. She then served it to me who was more than eagerly waiting for it.
That smell is so good. I never had tea before so this is new to me... I hope it tastes good as it smells though. I had a sponsorship where they made me drink, diet teas which caused me to throw up all the time from that.
"Oh? Did you serve some tea? I didn't expect you to actually know how to do chores." Her brother comes into the room, with a smirk on his face. The smell must have attracted him here.
"Ya.. ya.. just because I grew sheltered doesn't mean I'm useless, big brother," She responded to him, passive-aggressively.
Guess they are pretty close huh? Also, I remember her mentioning that she was sheltered since they didn't have phones or ate in a fast-food restaurant before but damn, she's that sheltered that she didn't do any chores? Maybe she had maids or butlers? Is she rich or something? She doesn't really look rich but the way she just bought a phone without much thought just gives me that conclusion.
"Alright then. I'll just go on ahead to go upstairs. What's your room number again?" He asks me who was sipping on my tea.
I can see right through him. He's not very pleased with moving over to my room. Well, it's not like you're going to stay there for long anyway. Good night. Sweet dreams.
"Oh, it's room 20. That's where my room is!" I responded, enthusiastically, hiding my malice filled smiles.
"Okay.. so remember that we have school tomorrow. So make sure not to sleep too late and be sure to not go do anything reckless and make sure to brush your te-"
He tries to give a last-minute lecture but Celestina was having none of it and stopped him from speaking and pushed him out of the room quickly. I guess she was embarrassed that I was here but I guess her brother is caring for her. Though she's really not the smartest one in her family...
"Just go already, big brother! Geez. I know what I'm doing! I'm already in high school! Goodbye! Have fun there! Don't go touching her stuff got it?" She tells him, while I smile in the background. Waiting for them to finish their sibling interactions.
"Okay. Also of course not. I never touch people's belongings without their permission so you can guarantee that I won't touch hers..." Lawrence said as he went out the door.
"Goodbye! See you tomorrow!" I waved goodbye to Lawrence as he headed out to the darkness... Goodbye forever causes that's going to be the last time I'll see of you. I smirked as my plan was complete.
FLASHBACKS (TOMORROW MORNING)
As I finally got out of Celestina's room. I already had nine one one in my dial with my phone in hand, as I slowly walked towards the staircase to go to my room. Carefully looking at anyone who's in the hallways but it looks like everyone is still asleep since it's early I-
"Did you have fun at your slumber party?" Lawrence suddenly surprises me, shocked, I recoiled, almost dropping my phone.
WHAT THE HECK? HOW IS HE STILL ALIVE? I'M PRETTY SURE I REMOVED THE LOCKS IN THAT DOOR. THERE IS NO WAY HE WOULD HAVE LIVED IF THE SERIAL KILLER struck THAT NIGHT OR UNLESS.. THE KILLER DIDN'T STRIKE.. DAMN IT! WHAT BAD LUCK I HAVE. THE KILLER DECIDED TO TAKE A BREAK...
"Seems like you're deep thinking. Is something wrong?" Lawrence crosses his arms to ask me a question.
"Oh, it's nothing. No need to worry about it! I did have fun with your sister though!" I faked a smile.
"Your door locks were unscrewed. Considering putting them back on ya?" He then hands me the sliding lock, I unscrewed from before. So he knew that I unscrewed it huh?
"Right! I'll get into that. Sorry that you didn't sleep with a lock on. The night was smooth-sailing right?" I inquired about the night he spent there.
"Nothing really eventful but yes it was fine. Anyways see you. I'll have to cook breakfast for Celestina." He dashes out of my way, as I quickly turned around. His clothing was a mess and his hair was a mess and there was definitely a sign of struggle, and he also looks like he didn't get a wink of sleep.. could he..
