Chapter 3- Interfering

Were you wondering about that sound? Yes that was me and must I say that it felt good! I'll go back to a couple of hours ago before I had to be sent to my room and scolded for my actions. What was wrong with hitting the guy? He deserved it.

So where were we? Oh yes.

SMACK. Xiao's face had reddened where my hand had slapped him. I shook my hand to take away the pain. That kid had a face made out of steel, or was it the cold air? Half a second later, almost everyone in the village gasped in unison. I realized that they had stopped to stare at us. – Probably trying to find out where that loud sound had come from (or as the most likely answer: to find something to gossip about the next day).

Ling Po inched away after seeing my attack and Chiin followed after a merchant who was selling sweets. Fatso.

"What was that for?" Xiao exclaimed holding his injured cheek.

"Everything!" I stormed inside with Liu trailing behind me shaking her head. I heard Jin Won walk up to Xiao and say, "Women these days." Xiao replied with a sigh and my little brother followed my mother into our house. Outside, I was sure that Xiao was feeling pretty embarrassed.

"What! - What are you looking at?" Xiao asked before he too left the scene. Everyone else murmured their reply and resumed their business.


Now let's get back to the present- shall we? I am sitting on the floor cringing as my mother yells at me.

"What were you thinking! – Slapping a citizen in public!" raved my mother as she paced back and forth. "Do you know how many people were watching?"

"I'll take a wild guess and say that it was practically the whole town." I said coolly.

"Exactly. I don't know what you have against Xiao. I thought he was your best friend. Now you've probably scared off the rest of the guys who wanted to marry you. Now, no one would want to touch or at least be within a few yards of you." At least my work is done.

"The key word here is was my best friend. Now, he's my enemy and there's nothing that can change that."

"What about your father? What about your promise to him?" Oh boy, my mother was bringing in father into the subject."A person like you should be able to keep that promise if we are to expect you to become the leader of this town." Yes, my father had left me his position when he left. My mother had never dreamed of ruling an entire town that depended on every choice she made. Nope, her family gave her stress enough. Plus, she said that I reminded her of her husband, my father, a strong believer, self-motivated, and stubborn. Which was a surprise, I thought that Jin Won would have gotten stubborn as his most significant trait.

"Ma, something like this is not going to get between me and my duty here." I gave her one of my undeniable smiles and hoped that she would let me go.

"All right, Riena, but if you've got a problem, just come to me. Maybe not all of our strongest felt decisions are the wisest." She went to exit the house and was immediately met with a crowd of women from the questions that I heard. My mother quickly appeared back in the house.

Teasing I asked my mother, "A social already? I thought that wasn't going on until later this afternoon." Mother smiled before replying, "That slap is an example of those strong decisions that you should really think hard about." She turned into her room and I left to mine.

In the hallway I saw Jin Won and Liu running into my room. "How much of that did you hear?" I asked as I entered.

"Oh pretty much the whole thing." Jin Won said before adding in his annoying voice. "You got busted!"

"Ha ha, I'm laughing." Liu passed me her drawing that she made.

"Look, big red thing on bad person face!" I looked at the picture. Yup, there was Xiao with a big red spot of ink on his face.

"Yes", I replied, "Bad person was a very annoying person to me. If you see him, can you show him this?"

"All righty!" Liu jumped off my bed and started running for the door. Fly my pretty, fly! (Insert maniacal laughter here.) I decided that I would let Xiao suffer before my mother would catch me. Oh yes, things were going to be beautiful!

If that were true, why – oh why did another person have to ruin my fun! WHY I ASK YOU! WHY!


I hope this was okay for all of you. Thanks for the first R now do the second in the phrase R&R.
