CCC : Chapter 1 "Start With M"


Sunlight comes through between my bedroom curtain.

But I'll pretend that I didn't see any lights come in

Pulling my blanket over my head then I'm trying to get a little bit more sleep.

Also I'm hoping that today is Sunday.

     BEEP BEEP BEEP

Seriously? Why am I setting the volume so high!

I let out a loud growl under my blanket then try to reach out my phone to shut off the alarm.

Hoping today's letter starts with an S, then I'm scanning my phone screen to check what today is.

     04/26, Monday 2020.

Well... how lucky I'm...  I need to prepare earlier this morning.

Somehow it's hard to open my eyes, it's so heavy.

Even just getting up from bed, It already feels like I have back disorders.

Did I push myself too hard again? I guess nothing ever changes anyway.

Preparing myself  just takes around 30 minutes then I start to step my way downstairs.

This house, more like a mansion, always feels so empty.

There are so many large rooms, many manufactures and pictures, but there's rarely someone will show up in the room.

Well I'm getting used to it so I just need to head out to the dining room.

"Good morning, Mrs. Vilheimina. What can I get for you to drink for breakfast?" One of the butlers greets me.

"Mineral water. I don't feel like I want some milk today."

"Sure, Mrs. Vilheimina. Do you need anything else?"

"I need vitamin C to keep my body healthy."

"Of course Mrs. Vilheimina. Do you need anything else?

"That's all for now."

"I'll take my leave then. Please wait for your drink and vitamins at the dining table." He follows me to the dinning room to open up the huge door.

Another maid already stood beside my seat.

She pulls out my chair to let me sit over there and starts pouring water to my glass.

The room is still empty but all of the food is already prepared.

I was thinking for a second.

Why must we set up so many foods when there's only four family members?

Toast or cereal is enough for my breakfast though.

But if I protest this simple thing, it only creates a big problem for them.

And of course they'll punish me If I'm doing something wrong, a tiny one.

There's a lot of absurd rules here, for example our seats in this dinning room.

The seats and our positions have already been chosen from my parents.

It's just a simple rule but if we break it, they'll humiliate us in a sarcastic way.

"Good morning, Mrs. Vilheimina. This is your glass of mineral water and vitamin C. If you need to refill your glass of water you can call me, Mrs. Vilheimina." The butler comes in again and brings up my order.

"Thank you, Gerry."

"It is my pleasure to serve you, Mrs. Vilheimina."

Half of my way eating, someone coming into the dining room.

It's my big brother, Nicolaus Valter.

"Oh yea, and please make it two okay. Oh! Morning, sister. How is your morning?" He comes in while talking to his butler.

His seat is right beside me.

"Morning. It is the same as always. How about you?"

"I guess... I feel great today! Thank you for asking me, that's so kind of you." He smiles widely.

Well, good for him.

Taking my last sip from my drink then tell Gerry to prepare the car for me to school.

"You want Gerry to drive you to school again? Sister, you are not a spoiled child anymore do you?" He says with teasing voice.

But somehow I just don't have the mood to joke around with him.

"You know the reason, so what's the point of you asking me?" I reply coldly to him.

"Aww... how cute. My little sister got angry in the early morning. What happened, sis? Wanna talk about it?" He's still teasing me.

"I'll take my leave. See you after school." leaving him without answering any of it.

"Take care, baby sis!" He says.

Well, I feel bad that I'm ignoring him but my mood already ruined this morning.

     Peep Peep

That's the horn of my car, Gerry is ready to drive me to school.

Changing my slippers into school shoes and I step out of the house.

Today the weather is clean and the wind feels a little bit cold today.

The summer will end soon.

Gerry already opened up the back passenger door for me.

"Everything packed up, Mrs Vilheimina?" He says.

"We can go now."

"Understood." He shuts the door.

Pull out my phone  and ear pods from my pocket.

This is one of the best moments for me because it's so quiet and calm.

Unfortunately, this moment just lasts about ten to fifteen minutes.

"We are here, Mrs. Vilheimina." Gerry says and the car stops moving.

Take off my ear pods then I put back my phone into my pocket.

Gerry opens up my door so I can step outside of the car gracefully to keep my figure.

People around me start to chatter with each other.

As always, All eyes are on me.

"Please tell me immediately when you are done with school today Mrs. Vilheimina. I hope today school is going well for you."

"Thank you, Gerry."

Take a deep breath then turn around to face my school entrance.

Something is frustrating me though.

It's seven-thirty in the morning.

Why are there so many people here?! Class morning always starts at eight. Why would everyone come this early?!

Huff... Stay focus Vilheimina Valter.

"Good morning, Mrs. Valter."

Purple.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mrs. Valter." sound of some boys who greets me.

Purple.

"Good morning, Mrs. valter. It's fancy to meet you this morning." one of the boys came straight away to me.

Blue.

"Morning, Ben." I answer to him without making eye contact and it's already enough to make him happy.

"Hi, Vil! You look gorgeous as always."

"Hello there, miss perfect."

Two girls show up from behind me.

Such a familiar voice makes my mood better than before.

Yellow. The twins.

"Hi guys. Is it just me, but I guess it's rare for me to see you guys come this early in the morning? Did something happen?" I ask them then raise an eyebrow.

"Duh... No idea." Mari replies.

"Then why do you guys come to school this early either?"

On second thought, I know the reason why and it's a silly question for me to ask them.

They just grinning at me like children want candy.

"Oofff pleasee..."

"YES! HOMEWORK!"

"LET US COPY YOURS!"

The two of them said that at the same time.

"For a hundred times guys... I won't let you guys copy my homework easily right?" Responding with an annoyed voice.

"Buuttt...  you always teach and tell us how to do it! Sooo.." Mana says teasingly.

"Let's go to the classroooom!!"

The two of them hold my arms, in case they don't want me to run away from them.

"Alright alright I will help you guys with the homework okay? But..."

I pull their faces closer to mine then whisper to them.

"You guys know that I need to keep up my figure right? In front of everyone."

Their reaction tells me that they completely forgot about it for a moment by looking at each other and blinking their eyes in sync.

Why are they always in sync? Is there any kind of signal if you have twins to get in sync?

"Aaahhh... riiightttt.... almost forgot that."

"Keep up the figure, keep up the figure."

The twins begin to change their own figure into something more elegant.

Seriously, they are the only twins I ever see that are always in sync like this.

"Thank you for understanding me."

They answer me with their brightest smile towards me.

I'm so glad to have these guys who understand me the most since I was nine years old. But Unfortunately I still can't tell them my secret.

On our way to the classroom, our ears always fill with compliments and greetings from other students.

But I can tell some of them are fake.

"Look at her! How can she be so gorgeous and the way she walks so elegant!"

Blue.

"I know right! Those trio always make me want to be like them someday!"

Blue.

"Good morning, Valter and Einhard twins."

Purple.

"Morning."

The twins always answer everyone's greeting, that's so kind of them.

For me, I only answer them with a nod and give a little smile that I always show towards the others.

"Ohoo.. is that Queen Vilheimina valter with her bodyguards?"

Here it comes, One of the annoying guys. 

Black.

I close my eyes, try to ignore him, then pass him without giving any answer.

"Hello, Jeff. You look totally great today." Mana greets him.

"But your attitude is still the same." Mari continues.

Then the voice of boys laugh coming out from somewhere, only to make Carl Jefferson irritated.

"Still won't say any words to me, Mrs. Valter?" He says.

Then the sound of a girl comes out from nowhere.

"Oh my... why would she answer you Mr. Jefferson?" This one is the most annoying woman, Agatha Quinne.

"I feel bad for you Jefferson, keep greeting the arrogant girl and not giving a single answer to you." This one, Rosalia Görder.

"Freak." The last one, Tiana Kohlmann.

Those two friends of Quinne always follow her anywhere.

It's like Mana and Mari.

Seriously? What date is today? Why did every annoying thing come together at the same time this morning?!

"Shut up you three! I don't have any business with you guys!" Jefferson shouting to them.

"Awww... we just want the best for everyone. Please, no hard feelings." Quinne replies.

"We just give you advice, little Mr. Jeff. Is that how you respond to us?" Rosalia Görder follows it.

"Ungrateful." Tiana Kohlmann too.

His face only gets redder of anger and his hands clenched tightly.

He turns away and storms off from the conversation.

My footstep gets a little bit faster than before because I don't want to be there.

Please don't greet us, don't greet us, don't greet us.

"Oh my, are those Einhard twins? Still sticking with that arrogant girl?" Quinne says.

"Good morning, Quinne. My apologies, but which girl do you mean?" Mari replies.

"And we are about heading into our class. So we'll take our leave." Mana continues with her twin.

Excellent work guys. I'll pay you guys with my homework. And maybe juice later.

"Tsk. Still arrogant as always huh? Valter." Quinne replies.

"I'm a queen so I don't need to say words to others." One of them makes a silly voice to describe myself, probably Rosalia Görder.

After we left them, I can hear how they are still badmouthing us from behind.

But it's become my habit to ignore their comments against us.

I feel so grateful having just these two, who truly want to be with me.

In our class, the twins quickly take a seat beside me, so they can learn how to do their homework.

But for today, I guess, I'll let them copy my homework but still I will teach them later.

Wait, isn't it always like this?

A few minutes pass by, then every seat is already taken with students.

I hear the chatter a little bit louder than before.

Is something happening?

"Is this just me or does everyone look like they are chatting about something?"

"Hm? What do you mean?" Mari asks me back.

"Eh? Didn't you guys hear the announcement today? And Mari, I told you yesterday right?" Mana replies.

"Umm... which one are you talking about Mana?" Mari asks her twin.

"Huuhh... you guys should check school applications more often. Today we got a transfer student from Russia. And this is how he..."

Mana is just about to show us her phone but the classroom door opens widely.

Red carpet rolling into the classroom then follows with a tall guy with a crown, bouquet of red roses, and a long garment.

When he comes in, he starts to scanning the room.

He looks like he's searching for someone?

Then when his eyes landed on me he smirked towards me.

Only sent to makes my body chilling but more like freak out

What is wrong with this guy? Why does he dress up like a king and so luxurious? AND WHY HE NEEDS THE RED CARPET FOR THE ENTRANCE? This guy is so weird. No, It's freak, freakiest.

After a moment, the teacher comes in to introduce us to this weird guy who keeps looking at me.

Please stop doing that.

"Good morning, students. According to our announcement yesterday, this is Lenya Sneg, our transfer student who will be in our class starting from today. Please be friends with him."

"Yes, teach." Everyone gives answers to the teacher.

"Alright then. You can choose any seat you want, Mr. Sneg."

"Thank you, teacher, for introducing me to these precious classmates and..."

Oh no he is coming this way. Pretend didn't see him.

"My fiancee."
