"What?!!"

I complained, almost impaling my juice out of my mouth.

"You can't ground me mom! The outside world is my life! And I can't just quit modeling!"

I was stupefied. Being grounded is something I'm not looking forward to, and here I am now, being grounded for the first time in my entire life.

"You won't quit modeling honey, lets just seize fire. You can go back after a few months."

"Mom, I need to socialize. And modeling, going to malls, outings, and parties are things I cant surrender!"

We were sitting on one of the stools in the garden, I got out of the hospital yesterday. But unfortunately, Julian is still unconscious till now.

Mom placed her half empty coffee mug on the glass table, then faced me.

"Raven, this is for your own good. I told you that I promise that those things won't ever happen again. I've lost your dad, and I thought I almost lost you. I don't want that to happen honey. I hope you understand."

......silence. Mom has a point. I was so stupid, of course she promised me that I won't get hurt again. And here she is now, keeping her promise. But I'm the one teetering for it to happen.

"I understand mom." I sighed." I'm sorry."

"I'm sorry too honey, if I'm being too strict."

"Just one thing mom."

"What is it sweety?"

"Please don't let me quit Drama club."

For a moment, I was thinking mom was having second thoughts. But after a while, she smiled and sighed.

"Okay okay, fine." She began."But promise me you'll never ever break out of the house or even try to escape from school."

I squealed and hugged my mom tightly.

"Of course mom, I'm not that sneaky!"

"Promise?"

"Promise!"

Since it's Sunday today, I decided to prepare for my outfit for school tomorrow.

I chose a green floral above the knee dress with matching white bolero and white glittery flats.

After that, I went to mom and dads' study and said my goodnight, then I went back to my room and prepared myself for bed.

Before I even knew it, I wasn't able to count for sheep anymore because of exhaustion.

The last thing I thought about before I fell asleep was my freedom. Guess I won't have enough of it for quit a while.

Saturday passed by with a blur,and now it's Sunday again. I studied during the day and worked late at night. Most of the times when I'm not doing anything, I thought about the offer of Mrs.America. How could that be possible? I can't just befriend a millionaire and take care of her at the same time. What if the other students misunderstood me and thought that I was courting her?

Damn these thoughts!

I am subsequently laying on my bed staring at nothing in particular, maybe the ceiling sometimes.

I can't sleep, it's either because I'm excited about the fact that I'm going to a new school tomorrow and maybe I'll even find wealthy friends, or because I'm nervous of my first day of guarding.

Speaking about friends, I didn't get to say goodbye with my friends and classmates, specially to Ryan, Kenneth, and Jason. Not permanently though, just a farewell to inform them that I'll be transferring schools. But that's fine I guess, I don't want them to ask where I'll be transferring and why. Don't want to break the rules and regulations of my new job, do we?

Since I can't sleep right away, I opened my laptop and checked my Facebook account. I searched for the name Raven America.

When I found it, I clicked open her profile.

I was astounded when I saw her profile pic.

Holy shit.

What a small world we have.

Raven America.

She was the girl who almost knocked me over the escalator. She was the skinny girl who's on diet.

She's the daughter of Gregory America?

She's the one I'll be guarding?

Well...she's pretty.

I shake my head, clearing my thoughts.

At least I know a bit about her though. One thing's for sure; she's anorexic.
