They all went to the Bakers grab a bite straight from school.
" Okay, this isn't that bad" Kiara said
" You haven't been here before?" Vinny asked
" Nope, but I've heard a lot about it" Kiara said
" Yo Doug, we've brought you customers" cyma said as they entered
" I can see that" Douglas said
" Hi" Vinny said
" These are our friend we told you about" Tyler said
" I'm Vinny"
" Nice to meet you" Douglas said
" I don't think I need to introduce myself" Leo said.
" Yeah, Leo. The guy who gives me great trouble in running this place"
" Your welcome" Leo said
" Kiara" Kiara said
" I've heard a lot about you" Douglas said
" Really?" Kiara asked
" Yeah, these two can't stop talking about you all the time. Kiara this, Kiara that" Douglas said
" What about me, do they talk about me" Vinny asked
" Yeah, sometimes." Douglas said
" Sometimes, really guys." Vinny said facing cyma and Tyler
" I'm Douglas, manager of bakers grab a bite"
" You're not actually the manager, so stop giving yourself title"
" Oh really, then who is?"
" Well, no one but that doesn't still mean you are"
" Alright, that enough from you love birds. Let's get these place decorated. Tara will keep Connor away from here till then" Douglas said
" Yeah, Kiara and I have something to take care of " cyma said
" So what would you guys buy?" Vinny asked
" That we haven't decided, so we better get going" Kiara said
" Can I have a smoothie first, I need it after my stressful day" cyma said
" Sure" Kiara said
" Here is one for you, and one for you as well" Douglas said giving cyma and Kiara
" Where is ours?" Leo asked
" It's no fair if the ladies get a smoothie and we don't" Vinny said
" We have work to do" Douglas said ignoring them
" It taste the same" Kiara said
" The same?" Tyler asked
" Yeah, I've gotten a smoothie for here once when I got here" she said
" But you said you've never been here" cyma said
" We ordered, my mum said she couldn't come here because of past issues"
" Sounds like she's scared of facing the one she rejected, at least he was saved or he's life would have been the one in a mess" Leo said
" Leo and his sense of humor, trying to crack an expensive joke" Vinny said laughing, trying to reduce the tension all over the place.
" Let's go" Kiara said
" I need to grab my wallet first, I left it at home. I'll be right back"
" No need, I'll just come with you so we'll leave soon. I don't think I can even handle the negativity here" she said looking at Leo
" Okay, my house is around the corner" cyma said leading Kiara out.
" That was harsh" Douglas said going over to meet Leo, but he just scoffed
" Harsh?, that's nothing compared to what others went through" Leo said
" I don't know what's it that is making you mad but I don't think that poor thing deserves it" Douglas said
" That so called poor thing is not as innocent as you think, don't trust so blindly. They're all the same, regardless of where they're from. They have the same blood running through their veins, who knows why she is here in the first place"
" Okay, you're over thinking it. Tyler and cyma believes she's different and I don't think she remembered but the first time we met she showed me she was truly different"
" Pretense, act, deception, that's what they're good at till they ruin your lives"
" I don't really understand what happened between you two but I feel you're taking it too far"
" Too far?, lives were lost, destroyed, damaged and we are still suffering from their own decision. They capture you in the exact place they want to, and then they take advantage of you and destroy your life bit by bit "
" What really happened?"
" I don't know, I just came to my senses. A Bling will always be a Bling. If I were you, I'll never let my guard down against them. She's acting nice now but she's probably planning her endgame" Leo said
" What are you two talking about?, we have work to do. Leo, come help me out please " Vinny said
" Sure" Leo said going over to him
" What's gotten into him?" Douglas thought
" I seriously don't know why he's giving me the cold shoulder, what did I do wrong?" Kiara asked
" I don't know, maybe you did something to annoy him"
" Not really, he's mainly attacking my family"
" You're just overthinking it, we're here" cyma said opening the door and the place was a total mess
" Okay, it is a total mess. I see why you said it will take weeks to clean it up" Kiara said
" Yeah, with school and all we don't really have time for cleaning" cyma said as they push past all the stuffs around
" What of your parents?"
" Dad is in prison, mum has travelled for like 10 years now, more like 12" cyma said
" She said it like it was normal, she didn't even seems bothered a little bit " Kiara thought
" Hey, don't pull that pity face" cyma said to Kiara
" It's just that.."
" I get it, you feel bad for me. I do to, but life goes on" she said
" Oh look, see what I found" she said picking up a cigarette box
" That's not what we're looking for"
" You smoke?" She said tossing one to her
" No, I'll pass" Kiara said tossing it back
" Good girl, even the Blings do smoke. Which side of Mexican are you from?, because from what I heard that place is like.... You know. Mafias, drug dealers, geng and all" she said lighting it
" A place doesn't define you, you define yourself" Kiara said searching around
" Where exactly did you put your wallet?" Kiara asked looking around
" Found it" cyma said bringing it out of her pocket
" It was in your pocket the all time"
" Well, Im so forgetful"
" Let me guess, you actually came here for a cigarette"
" I needed it okay" cyma said and Kiara sighed as she shook her head
" Let's get going" Kiara said leading the way
" So, what exactly do we want to buy?" Kiara asked as they entered the mall
" I didn't think of that, how about we just move around and see something that is worth a gift" cyma said
" Yeah, great point" Kiara said and they split up
Kiara was searching around when she got a call from Dina.
" What's up" Kiara asked
" What's up is that you haven't called me today"
" Had a busy schedule today you know"
" Yeah, and what's with all that noise"
" I'm in the mall" Kiara said switching to video call
" Oh, you went shopping"
" Not really, just looking for a gift for my friends brother"
" Birthday gift?"
" Yeah"
" Well, you can still try to make time for me you know"
" I planned on calling you at night"
" When I'm sleeping or when I'm partying"
" You still go to night parties"
" Yeah, but it's not that fun without you around"
" Yeah yeah"
" So how was your day?"
" It was stressful, got benched on my first day in the tennis club" Kiara said explaining everything
" That's how you make an entrance" Dina said busting into laughter
" Funny, cyma day was more worse in the basketball team"
" Cyma?, oh the other girl in the group"
" Yeah"
" I've searched around and I don't just know what to buy" cyma said approaching
" Who is that?" Dina asked
" Cyma" Kiara said
" Cyma, meet Dina" she added
