Chapter 4 - FIRST IMPRESSION

"Wakie wakie sleepy head"

I heard an unfamiliar voice ring in my head, I turned on my bed twice rubbing my eyes, I yawned and slowly opened my eyes and the person I saw was the last person I never wished to see, let alone getting me breakfast on bed.

"How the hell did you get into my room?!" I yelled, sitting up immediately.

"Relax Zen, I got breakfast for you" he said pouring out hot chocolate on my tea cup.

"You think you can win my heart with this?" I asked not expecting any reply from him, "Leave my room!" I yelled.

"Quit yelling and give me chance in your life for once Zen."

"Give you chance? when you just ruined my morning" I said glaring at him, "Let me burst your bubble Demon...I'm a Coffee type, so you can see that your first impression is just useless! a total nonsense!!"

"Can you stop calling me Demon? at least, for once call me by my real name"

"Tell it to your mama" I said and slammed the door.

I went downstairs and made myself a bowl of noodles. I sat on the dining and was enjoying my breakfast when I received a credit alert that turned me off.

I immediately rushed up to my mum's room and badged in without knocking.

"Seriously?" I asked. "First, it was imposing a total stranger on me as my step dad and letting him stay with us without considering my feelings and now is reducing my monthly allowance" I said but she completely ignored me as though no one was talking to her.

I furiously left the room and went back downstairs and saw Damon at the downstairs sitting room watching sports.

"You Devil!" I yelled pointing fingers at him.

"Well I've nothing to say to you" I said and went upstairs to my room.

***DAMON'S POV***

"Babe, seriously I don't know how long this hatred is gonna last" Damon said closing the door behind him.

"Oh Damon, you worry a lot, believe me she will definitely come around someday, just that she's still finding it difficult accepting you into her life."

Damon sighed. "seriously I can't wait for her to start addressing me as dad, never knew a girl could be this stubborn and rude."

Melissa chuckled."That's Zen for you, she completely took after me" she said caressing Damon.

Damon sighed.

"Why didn't you tell me that she isn't a hot chocolate type? you only showed me her favorite tea cup"

"Didn't know that she now fancies coffee" Melissa said feeling somewhat disappointed.

"It's obvious I really don't know my daughter too well" she thought.

"it's fine, you know teens this days doesn't stick to one thing forever" Damon said.

"Yeah. So tell me, how far have you gone into convincing your sons to accept me as their step mum?"

Damon sighed, "Same issue as Zen."

Melissa looked at Damon, concern written all over her, she sighed and turned her back on Damon.

"What's the matter with you mi amor?" Damon asked.

"I'm scared" Melissa replied, looking down at her fingers. "Promise me that our kids won't tear us apart" she said facing Damon.

He cupped her chin, "I promise mi amor, I love you and I know you love me too. I believe with time our kids will definitely accept us." he said and kissed her passionately.

My friends and I sauntered into the class, and the once noisy class went silent all of a sudden.

"What's it with this Premium queens?" a voice whispered.

"Why do they always make us feel uncomfortable with their presence?" another voice came out inaudibly.

"Heard they are the daredevils of the school," another voice said.

"I wish I can be a member of the squad" another voice said.

"It's really hard to get in the group," another voice said, feeling somewhat melancholic.

"Scooch over!" I ordered, turning to the three girls occupying the seats I and my girls chose to sat on, completely ignoring the whispers and murmuring from the students.

Just then Shelly walked up to us again.

"Hey Zen," she said.

I continued pressing my phone as though no one was there.

"Zen!" she called out.

"What is it?!" I yelled, making her whimper a bit.

"I, um, I just came for a second chance," she stuttered.

I and my friends exchanged glances and burst into laughter.

"Seriously?" Diva asked.

"Well, since you are so desperate to join the PQ squad, you will have to undergo a few tests and tasks." I said, giving her a sly smile.

"I'm willing to do anything to join the squad," she said with a vibrant smile.

I chuckled and looked at her. "What's my favorite snack?"

"Potato chips"

"My favorite nut?"

"Macadamia nuts," she replied smiling.

"My favorite color?"

"Lavender purple"

"No way! this is giving stalking." Lisa said.

"My birth month?"

"April 22"

I looked at her puzzled.

"Seriously?" I asked.

"That's because I'm so into you girls," she replied innocently.

"Meet us tonight for your task; Diva will text you the location." I said and she left happily.

Diva and Lisa looked at me feeling somewhat surprised.

"Seriously?" Lisa asked.

"What?" I replied.

"Are you gonna let her in?" Diva asked and I chuckled.

"I'm so gonna enjoy this," I said, smiling. " you girls should just watch and relax."

Diva and Lisa smiled.

"Now that's the vile queen I know." Lisa said and I chuckled.

"Hey, look who's coming" Diva alerted.

Just then we saw Nathan coming towards our direction.

"Awwn! here comes our lover boy!!" I and Diva said in unison.

"Hey ladies!" he greeted, caressing Lisa.

"Hi!!" I and Diva replied smiling.

"What's popping?" he asked.

"Nothing much, just doing our usuals," I replied.

"You mean bulling the Minors?" he teased and we laughed.

Just then Lisa stood up and kissed him while sitting on his laps.

"Where have you been babe? I missed you a lot," she said in a baby voice.

"Oh my ra! why do I feel oppressed!" I said and we all burst into laughter.

"Can someone get me my own Nathan," Diva said, making a dreamy face and we laughed.

"You ladies are funny," Nathan said laughing.

"Well, just came to check up on you girls; to know what you three are up to, especially after seeing Shelly leave here so happily"

"Nothing much, just a friendly chit chat," Diva replied.

"it had better be, you know you girls can be vicious sometimes." he said.

"Seriously? why do you care?" Lisa asked frowning.

"Take a chill pill babe, I'm still all yours." he said and we burst into laughter.
