Well here I am with a new story (even though I still haven't finished my other ones)!
Hinata sipped her glass of water, listening to her best friend talk about some guy she had hooked up with over the weekend. Hinata could care less, honestly. Kin was always hooking up with random strangers.
"He was so good, Hinata," Kin was saying. "You should try him out sometime."
Hinata observed her nails. The gold polish on her pointer finger was starting to chip. "We should get manicures today," Hinata said, ignoring Kin's previous statement. "My nails are starting to look horrible."
"You're also starting to gain weight," Kin said, glancing at the now empty plate in front of Hinata. She glared at the girl sitting across from her before looking down at her stomach which was covered by a white button down uniform shirt and cardigan.
"Let's pay the tab and get out of here," Hinata said, motioning for their waiter who had been flirting with them since they walked through the door. She handed the waiter her Master card and proceeded to absently scroll through Instagram on her iPhone.
"Ma'am, your card was declined," the waiter said a few minutes later.
Hinata gave an exasperated sigh. How hard was it to swipe a card? "My card has an unlimited balance, hon. Try it again."
The waiter walked away mumbling under his breath which Hinata ignored in favor of her cell phone. She swiped the screen when her phone rang. "What do you want?"
"You need to come home," Hanabi sounded panicked. "Something is happening."
"What are you talking about?"
"They're taking our furniture and everything else, Hinata. They said we can't afford it anymore."
"Who's taking ou-"
"Your card was declined again," the waiter said, interrupting Hinata's phone call. Hinata stared at the card in a daze. Faintly, she could hear Hanabi's panicked voice before the line went dead.
Hinata calmly stood up from her spot at the table. "There seems to be something wrong with my card. Be a dear and pay, Kin."
After their meal was paid for, the two teenage girls made their way into the parking light where Hinata's white convertible was parked. She slid onto the red leather seats, waiting for Kin to get in the car.
"Is your sister okay?" Kin asked once she was strapped in. "She seemed pretty freaked out over the phone."
"She's fine. My dad took away her MacBook and now she wants to use mine," Hinata lied, slipping on a pair on Raybans as she drove down the highway, ignoring the speed limit.
A ball of nerves had knotted in Hinata's stomach and a sense of dread was now hovering over her head. Something terrible was happening.
"I'll text you," Kin said, climbing out of the convertible after they'd made it to her oversized mansion. "We'll get manicures tomorrow."
"Definitely," Hinata smiled at her best friend before speeding to her own house. The iron gate -that lead to the long driveway and in turn the large white mansion she called home- was pushed open which sent up warning bells in her head. The gate required a pin number to open it and only herself, Hanabi, and their dad had the pin. She drove past the gate to see what exactly was going on. There were moving trucks parked outside the house and several guys were coming in and out, carrying various pieces of furniture.
Hinata barely had time to climb out of her car before Hanabi was rushing over to her.
"They said we're broke, Hinata," Hanabi yelled frantically. "Our bank account is empty."
This idea has been in my head for the longest time now, so I just had to type it. I hope you guys like it!
