CHAPTER 1: Wake up Call.
12:30 pm Monday May 27th. P.O.V Rikku
" O.M.G Rikku!!" A shriek came from the dressing room of the Chanel store. I recognized the voice as my cousin Yuna.
" What yunie?" I inquire walking over to the dressing room from mine. Me, her ,and our friend Paine were trying on swimsuits for a Summer Beach Party we were going to Wednesday night. We had just graduated High school last Friday. And now we were ready to party.
The door to the dressing room swings open to reveal a very upset Yunie in a tallow picador bikini. She had a shocked upset. Not mad upset.
" Do I look fat in this because my butt is swollen in this and--" She begins to bicker on. I quickly check the tag.
" Yunie it's an Extra small. You're a small. Duh!" I giggle at my cousin's mistake.
" So your calling me fat!" She begins.
" No I'm just saying that your not anorexic." That shuts her up.
" Are you ready to check out?" Diana asks me. She the manager of the Chanel store. When I come she knows I'm here to spend a load of cash. So were on a first name basis.
" Yeah. I'll take the whole rack that I set aside. Thanks." I tell her.

3:15pm
After paying with the credit card Daddy gave me I drive Yunie and Paine home in my new customized hybrid corvette. It was a graduation present from Daddy.
I get to my house and start to head upstairs after parking in the garage, shopping bags in tow and I hear Daddy call me into the kitchen.
" Rikku Angel Summers. Come here right now." He used my whole name and his authority voice. This cant be good.
" Yes Daddy." I say innocently as I put my bags down and walk into the kitchen.
He is sitting at the island with a paper in his hand. Probably the credit card bill. He spazzes over it all the time.
" Do you know what it means as in self control? Because looking at this bill it doesn't show that you do." Daddy says
" oh it cant be that bad Pops" I smile. He hates when I call him pops because it makes him sound old.
" 15,000 dollars Rikku? That's obscene." He says and just when I'm about to chime in and sweet talk him I hear " I've had enough. That's why your moving to your Uncle's in Manhattan. I cant deal with you anymore"
" What?! But Daddy-" I cant believe what I'm hearing. Am I in some scary remake of "clueless"? No even Cher didn't get it this bad.
" No buts and I'm taking your credit cards." He says. He gets up to leave and I drop to the floor and grab on to his leg for dear life.
"O.M.G!! Daddy anything but that!" I plead. " Not my babies. Do you have no heart?!"
" Its just until you show me you can be responsible and independent and rely on yourself for a change." He says. Maybe there is still hope to win this battle and change his mind. I will fight!!
" But daddy! I can! I totally bought this cute Louis Vuitton purse and I didn't get the matching wallet." I can win!! This ship wont stop sailing!!
" No I mean learn what a hard earned dollar is. Now my decision is final. You leave tomorrow. And that's that."
Defeat……. Put up the white flag. S.S Rikku has been shot, burned and sunk. No hope for survivors.

10:15am Tuesday May 28th
Why? Is all that comes to mind as I wait at the JFK airport in New York for Uncle Rin to come pick me up. I have 5 suitcases of my closet. And a shattered heart……Life sucks. Daddy totally over reacted. I am independent and responsible. He doesn't know what he's-- Oh shoot I forgot to turn in that college application. I was too busy IMing Yunie and Paine. Oh well. I didn't like that college anyway. When is uncle Rin coming? I've been waiting for an hour.
Honk. Honk.
I look up to see a Nissan Murano in gray in front of me one the pick up lane. That couldn't be Uncle Rin …He wouldn't buy such a low class car like a cheap Nissan…
O.M.G
" Rikku!" The windows roll down to reveal my uncle in a bright yellow t-shirt and thick albhed accent. Dear Gods! Marilyn! Audrey Hepburn! Why did you forsake me. This was going to be horrible. It couldn't get any worse. I'm sure of it.
To Be continued.
