Turning her Into a "Perfect Lady"

So lonely

Avery POV

I can’t even see anything. Why is it so dark in here? I turn on the light. The LED light opened. And it was violet.

Maybe Ecean likes Violet. I saw Ecean laying down in her bed. I guess she’s sleeping.

I need to go out now. If I mess up something that will cause me to wake her up, I might be doomed!

‘Aren’t you curious about what Ecean really looks like?’ I hear my mind suddenly say. Gosh. It is tempting me. I am really curious about how Ecean looks like, especially since she always covers her face

Should I try to peek? But what if she wakes up and kills me? Aish, never mind. It is now or never. Just at least a peek. I am really curious if she has a lot of pimples. So that I will order a product that will suit her. Right! At least I have an excuse.

I slowly move the strands of her hair. Careful not to wake her up. But suddenly, A hand stopped me.

“You want to die?” she said.

I was being careful not to wake her up but it looks like she’s not a heavy sleeper.

“Ahh… hehe… uhm, I can explain?” I said. Trying to find words to explain to her.

“Why are you in my room? And why did you turn my lights on?” she asks. I swallowed my saliva a few times because honestly, I am scared right now. I should have listened to myself earlier than getting tempted by trying to look at her face.

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to, I was about—”

“Didn’t I tell you not to come in here? You’re trespassing” she said.

“Sorry, I’m really sorry. I really didn’t mean it—ahh!!” I was surprised because Ecean make me lie on her bed with her on top of me.

“W…what are you doing,” I ask.

Do you know what’s the hardest part of dealing with her? It is that I can’t see the reaction on her face. All I depend on is her voice. That’s where I know what kind of expression or emotions she’s been showing.

“Next time, don’t you dare to come inside here without my permission,” she said. She’s whispering in my ears and I know that she’s mad.

I nodded my head. I know that Ecean is not capable of killing (Err, actually, I hope so) But I am still scared of her aura.

“Good,” she said. Then she let go of me. I immediately ran outside her room.

Argh! Stupid Avery! You should have retreated earlier! How can you get close to her now when she’s mad at you?

I am pulling my hair out of frustration. I really should have behaved.

I don’t know what to do now. Aish!

I walk back into my room. This house is so huge but there is only Ecean and I living here. It feels so lonely. All I want is to finish my mission with Ecean so that I can live here rent-free for my whole college life. After three months, if nothing changes with Ecean, that is the end of me.

But, I don’t want to force her to change. I need to help her to change gradually so that in the end, it will be her choice to become better and not because someone obligated her to.

Right, let’s go back to what I promised to myself earlier, let’s be patient. Don’t force her or do something that will make her mad or pressure her. Right! We can do this!

I opened my laptop again to search for my schedule. I look at the time of my class and the subject then I suddenly realized that I have little time to balance my mission and for me to study. I mean, I need to study and my classes are hectic. Plus, I need to do something to change Lianne before her birthday comes. Arrghh!!

I have two weeks, only two weeks before the classes start. I need to get Ecean’s attention by that time. It would be easy to do this mission if Ecean would see me as her friend and not as someone who will threaten her. Okay, let’s do some effort this time.

It is 3 in the afternoon. I usually ate something during these hours. So, I made a Mash Melon. It is my invented food. It I the same as a melon shake with Milk in it but the difference is that I didn’t use a blender. I use a spoon to get the melon off to its skin then I put a little condense milk in it then viola! A mash melon was made.

I designed it to make it pretty since I will be giving one to Ecean. I write a letter too, saying sorry about what happened earlier and that I was hoping that we can be friends. And I promised not to trespass on her room again. I told in the letter that I will be waiting until she gets ready to be my friend.

I also included some cookies. Since it was a good combination.

I went to Ecean’s room. I put the tray with the food I made in front of her door then I knocked.

“Ecean, I made something for you,” I said. She didn’t reply. So I knocked louder this time. Maybe she’s still asleep.

“Ecean?” I called.

“just leave it there!” she said.

Finally, she answered me. I leave the food and went away.

I’m soooo boreeeddd!! Like, seriously, how come you live in a huge and spacious house without anything special in it?

I feel so lucky to have a small house. Because even if our house is small, I can still feel at home in it. It feels so warm and secure.

While in this house, all you will feel is being alone and lonely and depressing.

“I hope Ecean would come out and play with me. If only I can make her friendly like I am, in an instant. That would be great,” I said.

I scroll on my phone, looking for a new update in my social media account. But there’s nothing new. Just some toxic people talking about someone and others are spreading false information.

“I feel so bored, seriously. What else can I do?” I whispered. Ahh, right!

I open my laptop and watch movies on Netflix. I watch ‘The prom’ I have no idea on what this movie was. I am expecting that this is similar to like a typical high school romance drama. But I am surprised that this one is musical. I love musical genre on movies.

I didn’t expect that this movie tackles about LBGT.

Speaking of LGBT, I wonder if Ecean is open about the LGBT topic. Will she accept someone if she knows that it is part of LGBT?

My phone rings and to my surprise, my best friend Francine called.

Francine is not my classmate during high school days. She’s my childhood friend when I was 6 years old. She migrated to Canada when she was 8 years old. Since then, we keep in touch. We might not talk that much or everyday but, when she has time, she will call me and update me. Francine is like my diary. Since she’s far from me, it become easier for me to open up for my problems or worries.

“Hello dear~” Francine said.

“Hii!! How are you?” I ask. It’s been a while since I talked to her.

“I’m fine. It is so stressful. College just started” she said.

“How’s college?” I ask.

“College? Well, he’s fine. But I’m not. I think I before I graduate, I might be having a disorder. Argh! You know, they will give us a lot of work to do with an unbelievable deadline. Just like recently. One of our professors gave us a project. It was so, so hard. It would be better if it is a group project but no, she made it an individual project. And you know what that project is? To makse a diorama of our dream house in the future. And you know what’s even crazier? She asked us to make it in three days. The deadline of submission is on the third day. We even have other class and other subjects gave us quizzes and essay for the freshmen,” Francine said. She really looks frustrated right now. I can feel how pissed she is.

I chuckle.

“How was your project then? Did you finish it?” I ask.

“Of course. I use a cheat card” she said.

“What do you mean?” I ask. It is impossible to cheat on that kind of thing.

“I ask my brother to do it for me hhahaha it’s a perks of having an architect sibling” she said. I shake my head. Hhahaha Francine is really good at making orders to other people. I bet she threated her big brother again. This is not the first time Francine did this. Even when we were younger, if she wants something, she would probably do anything to have it. I remember back when we were a kid, Francine knew that her brother cheated on his crush before, so she blackmailed his brother that she would tell to her brother’s crush that her brother like another girl too and that there are two of them that he likes. Her brother is afraid that his other crush might leave him so he obeys Francine’s order. Hahaha it’s so cute back then.

“Hahahah you are really something” I said.

“Of course, ha! Anyway, how about you? how’s college life? Does your school year start?” she asks.

“Nah, I still have two weeks for that. But for now, I am trying to be busy. By the way, did you know that you saved my life just now?” I said. I am lying on my bed with my phone on my ears.

“Am I? did I save your life? How?” She asks.

“You saved my life from boredom!! Gosh! You don’t know how bored I am that I feel like I’m going to die” I said.

“Hahaha you’re overreacting, Ave” Francine said.

“I’m serious! By the way, want to turn on video call? I want to see you” I ask.

“Sure, wait” Francine opened her camera and we started video call.

“So, any update?” Francine asks.

“Waahh, you’re so pretty!!” I said. Francine’s beauty is a muse. She has a lot of admirers. Well, what I mean about muse is that, a lot of men are inspired by her beauty.

“I have something to share to you” I started.

“Hmm? Go ahead. What’s the tea” she said.

“I have a mission. A very special one” I said, “and I don’t know how to do it. but I need to do it!” I said.

“Ohh, that’s interesting. Tell me more about it” She said.

“It is really a long long story. Are you sure you have time to hear it? I don’t want to be cut off in the middle of my story” I said.

“Oh, wait. Let me see my schedule. Hahaha” she said.

I knew it. she’s too busy.

“Hmm, well, I have 5 minutes left. I need to finish the essay later” she said.

“I see,”

“Well, is that fine with you? will the five minutes enough for you to tell the story?” She asks.

“Of course not. How can the five minutes be enough to share a long story? I think I’m going to share it with you next time. When you have a lot of time to talk with me” I said.

“Awwee, I’m so sorry dear. I will make it up to you next time I promise. I’ll clear my other schedule next time when I called you” she said.

Awwee, Francine is so sweet. I wonder if she has a boyfriend. I should have asked.

“By the way dear, talk to you next time. My alarm rings already. I promise to call you once I am free,” Francine said.

“Sure, good bye. Take care. I love you” I said.

“I love you too. see you soonest” She said.
