I had some how ignored Felix the whole trip ; thank goodness. Right now we were in a limo (never thought I would ever be in a limo,) Felix said we were almost there that it wouldn’t be to long. Peering out the window it felt like the ride went by in a blur for the next thing I know we’re pulling up in front of a giant mansion ; my mouth dropped.

I turned to Felix, « You live here ? »

Felix cleared his throat, « Actually the Kennish’s live here. »

« Why are we going here ? » Personally I wanted to avoid my future husband.

« Because you’ll be staying here, » Felix said.

My mouth opened, « I thought I was staying with you. »

He smiled when I said that ; « I live in a bachelor pad so until I can find a suitable home you’ll be staying with the Kennish’s. »

The memory of a couple days ago with my parents over the fettucine dinner reminded me that they had already told me this. Not knowing what to say I just nodded to Felix ; inside I’m freaking out.

The limo stopped ; as I climbed out I started gawking, by the end of the day my mouths going to hurt. This place was huge, this place was a T-rex compared to my apartment. Felix led me in making my mouth drop to the floor. The ceiling was high, big rooms, lots of colors, and lots of expensive things. Man what do these people do ? I was interrupted by my thoughts when I heard voices. I touched my hoodie, good its still up, I don’t know what these people would think if they saw me with blue hair.

« Felix I see you made it safely. Did you have a good flight ? » A man in a fancy suit said shaking my dads hand.

« Yes we did, » Felix replied, « How did the meeting go this morning ? »

Wow this is such a boring conversation, is this how rich people talk ? If so I’m going to have a boring life. I shouldn’t be so cynical after all I kow nothing about these people.

« Felix why don’t you introduce this young lady, » A woman with blonde hair interrupted.

Felix placed an arm on me ; if I could I’d shrug it off. I have to put on a show right ?

« Mark, Bianca this is my daughter Cassandra. Cassandra this is Mr. And Mrs. Kennish, » Felix introduced us.

The guy took out his hand as I shook it, « Hi Cassandra, please call me Mark. »

Mark had dark brown hair, and brown eyes ; he had a warm feeling vibe. As for his wife, she had a snotty vibe ; I know I’m being mean but the way she looked at me up and done was snobbish.

« Well Felix why don’t you show Cassandra to her room. Dinner will be ready in five, » Mark turned around with his wife walking away.

« Shall we ? » Felix asked.

I rolled my eyes, « Sure. »

Walking upstairs I thought I had finally stopped gawking at everything ; nope. Opening the door to my bedroom I gasped. Everything was blue, my room was huge, there was a connected bathroom, and my own bed ! This was so cool !

« I take it you like it ? I mean after all I know your favorite color is blue, » Felix smiled.

I wanted him to feel sorry not happy, I know I’m a terrible person, but he left us. Nodding I went over to my bed placing my small suitcase on top. I opened a drawer ready to put my things inside when I found clothes already in there.

« Why are there clothes in my drawer ? » I asked.

« Oh I hope you don’t mind, but when your mother told me your size I had Bianca go out, and buy you some clothes, » Felix explained.

Looking at the clothes I brought out some really short shorts with a zebra print, « Don’t expect me to wear half this stuff. »

Felix cleared his throat, « Um..well how about you take this then. » He pulled out a credit card and handed it to me.

I looked at him questioningly, « What’s this for ? »

« For whatever you want. Use it for shopping or for dinner or whatever you’d like, and don’t worry about the cost, » Felix winked.

Great now he’s buying me, he’s not but I’m still keeping the card. Putting the card away safely I looked up at him, « Shall we go to dinner ? »

« Oh, yes of course, » He awkwardly stepped aside letting me pass him.

Walking down stairs he led me to the dining room with this big old shiny chandler. Felix sat down next to Mark on his right side, Mark was at the head of the table, to the left was his wife, and next to her was her daughter, I assume. Sitting down next to Felix and across from the daughter, I noticed five other boys sitting at the table. Each looked a different age and if I had to guess their age I would say one five year old, one eight year old, two twin twelve year olds, and one seventeen year old. None of them could be my future husband they were all to young. That’s when I heard him, walking through the door a boy about my age walked in half paying attention. He sat down next to me, crap. Looking him up and down I noticed he had black spiky hair, tan skin, and brown eyes which sent shivers down my spine.

« Warren this is Cassandra, » Bianca announced.

He didn’t even give me a glance, just kept texting away.

I rolled my eyes figures. Grabbing my fork I started digging into the chicken and rice, and something else that tasted funny. That’s weird.

« Cassandra take off your hood, » Felix suddenly whispered.

I shook my head, « No. »

« Do it now, please, » He looked up at his boss smiling.

Great. Slowly I took off my hood my blue hair flowing out. As soon as I did everyone stopped talking only to stare at the four-eyed blue haired girl sitting with them at their table. Ignoring the looks I went back to eating, something still tasted funny.

« Will someone pass me the salt ? » Warren asked breaking the silence he was unaware of.

Grabbing the saltshaker I handed it to him, and when he looked up to grab it, his mouth dropped open.

« Staring is impolite, » I said bitterly.

Warren shook his head mystified.

Luckily the Chef interrupted the stares I was getting, « How is dinner ? »

« Lovely as always Luigi, » Mark complemented.

I took another bite something was wrong, why did it taste so…. Familiar yet not in a good way.

« I’m glad you like it, » Luigi said.

« What exactly is this wonderful dish called ? » Bianca asked taking another tiny bite.

« I’m so glad you asked, » He said in his French ascent, « Its Hawaiian Pineapple Chicken ! »

Crap. I started to gag. Felix looked over to me his face full of worry.

« Excuse me, » I got up running out the door, my chair falling to the ground. Running out of the dining room I heard shouting as I desperately tried finding a bathroom. After the fifth try I found one, barely making it to the toilet. I wrapped my hair up, and began the unpleasant. Felix banged through the door, I only knew it was him because I saw him out of the corner of my eye. He injected a needle into my arm, and slowly I found myself drifting off.
