Chapter 33: Entertaining friendships I

"Oh you're here" mina's mom missy said as she walked out of the kitchen with the maids holding plates, looks like it was lunch time but it was only 10:35 they normally eat around 2-ish, were they expecting a guest. Mina was confused by the early lunch so she walked towards the dinning table instead of her room. She had to call her special friend, they had a very unusual friendship more like friends with benefits. He could wait, she'll call later she was more curious about why her meticulous mother was breaking her tradition of lunch being 2 o'clock

"Woah mom" mina couldn't help drool at the sight of the feast before her

"Go get dress, we're having guest" her mother said, pushing her towards the stairs. She knew it, it must be her father's business partners or important people of sorts, but what does that have to do with her, countless guests came but she was never told she had to be present to listen to them yap about stuff she only came if she wanted too.

"Why" she asked, following her mom who had let her go at that point and ordering the maids to bring the flowers to put in the vases

"Just be pretty" her mom answered, mina shook her head heading upstairs, she was curious about these guest that her mom was fusing around for so she decided she'll attend, her older brother would obviously be the head of the business if it came to passing it down and she wasn't interested in fighting her brother as long as she got her shares and continues to live in luxury she was fine.

"Make me a bath" she ordered a Maid she saw the moment she reached upstairs, the girl nodded before opening the door for mina, getting in after her. Mina flung herself on her bed sighing, now that she was less mad at Fiona she couldn't help rethink about what she was planning, what if things didn't work out as she planned and Fiona gets worst, most importantly what if she gets caught.

"Is it even worth it" she mumbled to herself but then she started to think of all the times Fiona humiliated her or times she felt belittled, she scoffed

"That bitch" she said in anger grabbing her phone, she did some nice things for her but what she suffered for Fiona in her opinion outweighed what Fiona did for her, she nodded satisfied with her justification. The phone rang for a while but no one picked up on the other line

"What is he up to know" she mumbled as she left him a text saying he should call her back right away.

"Ma'am the bath is ready" the maid informated she nodded her head before waving her off, after the maid left she got ready to take her bath.

Mina soaked herself in the bathtub. As she played with the flower pebbles, she kept on thinking. She thought about the time she meet seth at the convenient store, about the time she became friends with fiona, how she meet seth again, how she felt that time fiona told her she liked seth and she gave up because she knew back then she didn't have a chance, she was going against a best friend, a friendship that started forever ago, a friendship that had guilt in it, Seth would do anything fiona wanted because he felt like he needed to make up for the times that he left her with that cruel woman, he felt bad that for years she refused to go out and talk to anybody she had to be homeschool until 4th grade when she finally started to open up.

"Seth never loved her" mina said to herself with a smirk, he was only with her because he felt guilty and was basically guilt tripping himself into believing he liked fiona, but as for her mina, his love for her would be as pure as a white dove no guilt strings attached, he was meant to be hers and if she was going to lose him again it won't be to Fiona. Without even knowing she was digging her nails into her palm, the ringing of her phone brought her back to reality, she stared at her hand for a few second then lazily took a towel to wipe it, she knew that buffoon was calling so she wasn't in a haste to pick it up.

"You missed my call" she scolded the moment she picked up the phone rolling her eyes when she heard him chuckle

"Why are you upset, jealous?" He asked chuckling again as he twirled around in his chair to face the sky rise window in his office

"In your dreams" she scoffed

"Anyways i want you to hack into that phone now..i want to know what she's up to, to get my plan set" she added

"Whose this anyways" the guy asked, he was busy earlier having a meeting with his father and the board members, so he didn't even check the details or investigate who his little friend was so interested in and why

"Non of your business" mina said, this was why she went to him as last resort, she knew he had a thing for fiona and might actually want to stop her if he knew it was fiona he was planning on exerting her revenge on. Does he even like fiona, mina had concluded he only wanted fiona because his Seth's closest ally and he would do anything to break that man, even though they never went into detail about each other's personal life it was clear.

"Oh it is my business" he said and mina could literally see his wicked smirk through the screen, he was quite for some while before he began chuckling

"Whose jian" he asked

"she's pretty" he commented and mina rolled her eyes, she was prettier. She wondered what seth saw in jian and fiona both, she was prettier, smarter was it because he's friends with fiona and jian just happen to be his type, it was just sweet temporary love she nodded

"Whatever, I don't care.. do it" she concluded, she heard him mumbling about how she's a brat before ending the call but she just smiled, placed her phone down and leaned against the tub.

She could clearly remember when they first meet, the actually meet back in middle school. She was the quite kid that got bullied for the smallest things, she was very smart so she managed to get a scholarship at oletta middle school, it wasn't necessary a very prestigious school but it was a private school that housed children of many wealthy men and woman. It was one of those old schools that alot of important people passed through so it was a bit expensive and prestigious. Mathias was in her class, he wasn't necessary the loner or quiet kid but he was just like the type that liked to be alone and minded his business. They never had much of an interaction then in 6th grade he left the school, they meet again in 8th grade and it was at a fair, when they bumped into each other mina immediately recognized him, he was the type you couldn't miss really, dirty blond hair, piercing dark eyes, tall, he had one of those smiles that gave you chills in many weird ways, mina blamed it on his sharp canines and his very sparkling white teeths. She had pretended not to remember him, what was she even going to say so she apologized and was ready to move aside for him to pass but then he held her arms

"Um nina right?" He asked and mina scoffed, she gave him a sarcastic smile before shaking her head, she was already pissed off about how she had to go get new ice creams for Riri and her stupid friends after she apparently let go off the ice cream before Riri could hold onto it. When she had the opportunity to pick between 3 junior Schools after she Aced her middle school she was so excited until on her fifth day of school her teacher introduction Riri, Shayla and tori she had almost passed out, those pass four days before those witches came were the best

"No its mina" she answered, she didn't want to offend another dumb headed rich kid

"Right" mathias answered as he nodded with that smile of his, before the two could complete their pleasantries mina heard Riri's scream from behind her, naturally she flinched

"Mina" she yelled again stomping towards her but then she suddenly stopped and in the most disgustingly sweet voice she heard her say hi to the guy Infront of her, she had to take a full 180 degree turn to see if it was actually Riri, her eyes almost fell out her sockets when she saw her two minions and riri's new friends behind her acting all smiles and giggles

"Oh hey" Mathias smiled back, both their parents are friends especially their dads who play golf together so Mathias knew Riri

"You know each other" he asked looking at mina who nodded, Riri was confused why is mathias's talking to mina and why the hell was her crush's arm on mina's shoulder. Mina noticed her expression she put one and one together and instead of pulling away from Mathias, she pushed more into him which had Riri levit and Mathias smirked, he was amused. That night mina was tired ahe decided enough was enough, Mathias had asked her if she was with Riri and her friends when she said no they duo left, leaving a raging Riri behind. That's how the two got close, they spent the whole night talking and for the first time mina had felt like she had a friend. Riri and her minions did go right back to the bullying though she tried to fight back and even slapped Riri one time, which almost earned her scholarship Being cancelled so she just sucked it up. One time it was so bad, she called Mathias out for a drink and the two ended up sleeping together, she never told him about the bullying because she hated how the other kids looked at her with pity. The two never did that again but seemed like that one moment brought them closer together and they would continue to be friends.

After taking her bath, she went down stairs and was told the guest would be a little late and her dad would be too because they were having a meeting so she decided to get some rest before the guest came. She changed into a simple wear, ordered the maid to bring some snacks foryher upstairs, she put on a movie and relaxed, after she confirmed that mathias had hacked Jian's phone for her. She could hear her calls, read messages she receive or sends and even check out the phone. The poor girl probably never thought someone would do that to her phone so it wasn't as secure as fiona or Seth's phone that was harder to hack into. She was planning on eating her snacks and sleeping but she decided to read Jian's messages and she smiled triumphantly when she found out someone's favorite color happen to be yellow and pink..

"Bomb" she commented smirking as she read on.
