Usui muffled a yawn. It was a lazy Saturday morning, meaning that his date with Sarah in the five star French restaurant in seven hours should be enough to keep him busy for the next hour in picking out what to wear, and taking a shower.
Usui got inside the large shower stall, his white shirt, tailored pants, and shoes were folded neatly on top of the surface area next to the bathroom sink. The clothes for his date were in his room on a rack hanger in his closet.
When he was done, he took his time changing and then ate a late breakfast. As soon as he finished his pancakes, and orange juice his phone rang. He slid his fingers to unlock the touch screen phone and answered, "Hello?"
"Usui?" Sarah's voice carried smoothly from the other line.
"Yes?"
"Um... I was wondering, do you mind if I start the date an hour late? Something came up and I really need to fix it."
"Of course you can."
"Really? That's great! Okay, well I'll call an hour before the date, okay? Uh, well... bye."
"Bye." Usui said as he hung up.
Seems like that he has an hour more to think up of what he was going to do in this date.
Sarah heaved a sigh and put down her phone on the wooden table. She put her elbows up on the desk and held her face at the palms of her hands.
What am I going to do? She thought miserably. It could take me months before this plan can take its place.
The door opened and Dila stepped in. She first bowed to Sarah before speaking, "Miss Vanderwaal, the Montgomery's daughter is here to see you."
"Hmm? Oh yes, of course." Sarah said as she ran a hand through her coppery red hair as a lock of hair was put back behind her ear. She straightened herself up and walked towards the door.
Dila followed her outside, closing the door behind her.
They stopped in the mansion's large entrance room that looked more like a ball room. The two spiral staircase at each side of the room came down to the glassy surface with a way to big, complicated looking chandelier that brightened up the whole room.
At the center of the room stood a girl with about five suitcases surrounding her. Her hair was the perfect shade of golden chocolate brown that shined under the chandelier's light and came down to her back with elegant loose curls, her eyes were a perfectly round with long, curling thick dark eyelashes framing her ice blue eyes. Her porcelain skin made her look like the perfect porcelain doll with her pale pink lips and rosy pink cheeks.
Sarah walked towards the girl and started to introduce herself.
"I know who you are," the girl interrupted. "You're Sarah Vanderwaal, the daughter and heir to a successful business that is currently trying to dominate the world."
Sarah gave a light chuckle to the joke that the girl said, even though she was a bit irritated at how she described her.
"Anyways," the girl continued. "I'm Genie Montgomery. And if you ever care to find out anything more about me, just google me up, and if you ever want the truth, just come ask me."
Sarah immediately disliked the girl's attitude. Gawd, what a bitch!
Genie continued talking, "I would like to rest now, the flight over here was such a dread and I could not manage to get enough sleep."
"Oh yes, of course." Sarah said with fake concern. "Dila, may you please show our important guess to her room."
Genie smirked at the word Sarah emphasize.
"Of course," Dila said as she led Genie up the stairs and into the hallway where there were more stairs until they came up on the large hall where the guest bedrooms were at.
"Thank you, Dila." Genie said handing the maid some money.
"Oh no, please, I can not." Dila said putting her hands in front of her as she refused the offer.
"Oh?" Genie said cocking her head to the side. "And why not?"
"Because you are a guest and I don't take money from you."
"Well, Dila, you should know that I am not just any guest. And if a guest ever offers you anything, anything you want, like, or even desire, you should accept it because that would be impolite if you refuse an offer or a gift. So here, take it. It's yours now."
Dila looked at the girl for a moment before taking the wad of dollar bills into her hands in shoving them inside her apron pocket. She took out a silver key and handed it to Genie.
Genie smiled and said, "It's good that I told you that before the others arrived. You might look like you're took good for them and their things if you refused like how you did every time." And then she went in her room and closed the door behind her.
Misaki looked at her place from the kitchen island and took the bowl filled with fruits to the living room and started eating it as music blasted through the loud speakers. She took her android touch screen phone and started playing the games on it. Then she surfed through the internet and downloaded a couple of apps.
"Hey Misa," Maya said plopping down onto the couch.
"Yeah?" Misaki said putting her phone down.
"So Erika and I were thinking and we got ourselves some dates... including you."
"What?"
"Ha ha, yeah well here's the thing, we kinda hooked you up with this amazingly cute guy on a date and you should totally go."
"Why?"
"Because Erika and I will be with you with our dates. Just in different tables. And in the second date, if we still like each other, we can have a triple date."
"No."
"Why not?"
"Because you did this without me knowing!"
"Ah, I believe that is called a blind date, young one."
"Young one? Pfft, please. You're like, what? Sixteen hours older than me?"
"Unfortunately, yet fortunately... yes!"
"Yes?"
"Yes? You'll go? Oh that's great! I'll call him right now!"
"W-wait, it was question, not a statement!"
Misaki chased Maya around the house as she talked to the boy who she set up with Misaki.
"Okay so guess what else?" Maya said turning around to face Misaki who was sending lethal glares at her cousin.
"More surprises?" Misaki grumbled.
"Yes, and it's about the date." Maya said clapping both of her hands together.
"Oh, let me guess. He canceled?"
Maya frowned. "No. Gawd, you're terrible at guessing games. The date is tonight at seven in this fancy French five star restaurant. Apparently the boys like to make a great first impression."
A/N:
Well, I introduced another new OC character. Don't you guys just like and admire her spunk? Also, I kinda left you guys with a cliff hanger there if you caught it ;)
Oh, and here's something that you guys might be happy to hear. It's the first day of summer vacation for me so that obviously means that my summer vacation just started so I can update more frequently! Isn't that great?
