Queen of the Underworld

"Wow, what a dick!" Veronica said incredulously as I told them the interaction I had with Antonio.

I laughed lightly, "yeah. But he was going through a tough time. Besides, I got used to it."

Gabriel shook his head, angry. "No one should get treated like that. It is despicable!"

I smiled softly at him. They have been through scenarios ten times worse than mine, but I still had the audacity to whine.

"Its alright. But anyway! What did you all get up to in Sicily?"

Mateo threw his head back and grunted. "Work! All we did was work! Lorenzo was in an awful mood the whole time and he made us work a lot. Thanks!"

I giggled at his tantrum as Nicolas smacked him upside the head. "It wasn't all that bad. Yeah, we worked some days but we still got to go to the beach and have Club Wednesday."

I nodded, "you guys had fun?"

They nodded, "lots." Veronica said

"That's good, I'm glad."

I grabbed the remote and started the movie. We decided to have a movie night instead of going to an amusement park simply because we were all exhausted.

They arrived early in the morning and I arrived about two hours ago. I greeted Lorenzo and haven't seen him since. He looked awfully worried and locked himself in the office.

The days once again flew by. Not being an assassin, as odd as it was, felt weird. I saw Nicolas getting ready a few times, when Lorenzo let me go to the gym. Other times I had to stay home and be completely alone, aside from Armando and Aurora, when they went to prepare him for a job.

I focused more on my school work and my grades began to skyrocket. I understood class much more and felt more relaxed. I initially was going to ask Lorenzo for my position back, but with the way he seemed on edge lately, I opted against that decision.

February was almost over and winter break was in two days. I was in culinary, waiting for the class to end to head to US history.

As soon as the bell rang I darted for the door, only to be held back by a strong hand. I turned around to face Gabriel staring at me with an eyebrow raised.

"In a hurry, are we?" He mocked.

I yanked my arm from his grip and stuck my tongue out at him. Because I have been so engrossed in school lately, I have tried my best to not get to class late.

"Let go of me you trickster!" I accused.

He looked at me in utter confusion and I took the opportunity to keep talking.

"You made Dean die! Hundreds of times! I will never forgive you for the Mystery Spot. Or changing channels! Maybe I'll even blame the French Mistake on you! Although that was Balthazar, but that-"

"What the fuck are you talking about?"

I threw my head back and laughed at his confusion. He looked at me with crazy eyes, trying to decipher me.

Having nothing to do gave me a lot of time to waste. So when I browsed Netflix, I discovered this long show, Supernatural, and gave it a try. I am obsessed. I haven't done much except watch it. Turns out Vee loves it too, so she watched it with me a lot. I caught up on thirteen seasons very quick and am currently waiting for a fourteen.

"You, my friend, are a great big bag of dicks."

I laughed at my quoting from the show, and at Gabriel's face when I said it. As if on cue, Mateo showed up and threw an arm around my shoulder.
