goodness I had to reread the whole fanfic to get the timeline of this and I had to suffer through my old dumb dry writing... 17 days which means I accidentally skipped when Katherine was supposed to be unsuspended! I'll get into that next chapter dwdw
turns out pretending to read a 2.3k word book isn't easy. so after a while i just gave up and decided to actually start reading. I half thought my mom would come inside my room and check on me but when the party eventually ended, i heard her close her bedroom door and her faint snores.
I sighed and made my way out of the room as quietly as i could to find that the lights were all off, the huge house was as empty and quiet as an empty road. It created a creepy atmosphere as i slowly and quietly made my way through the castle-like house.
I knew i shouldntve been out like this in a silenced house that almost never experienced silence but i was just so hungry. I hadnt aten lunch. the only thing i had the whole day was a simple slice of cake from the party. I made my way through the dark house and nearly jumped out of my skin when i heard thunder and the thick patting of rain.
I couldnt help letting out a soft "jeez" as i entered the kitchen. I found the blinds to the backdoor were still open and noted how unusual it would be for the blinds to still be open. I looked past the blinds into the backyard. the large, green backyard before closing the blinds and turning on the light.
I lazily looked through the thousands (there were only 8, rather dramatized) of cabinets all full of different things and walked to where i knew the cereal was. I pulled the lucky charms out and started eating out of the box as another roll of thunder started.
It wouldve been just another night of tiredless feeding if i hadnt heard a sound from outside. In the backyard. how i heard this over the unbearable screams of the wind mixed in with the loud rain and thunder? I dont know. but i immetiately stopped eating the cereal and went to investigate. what i haid heard wasnt the rain or the thunder or the wind.
I carefully opened the blinds and got nearly blinded by the moonlight as it shone on my face. I spotted someone in the bushes though. someone...blonde hair? It almost looked like someone i recognized but couldnt get a clearer picture as a voice called my name.
"Katherine? what-what are you doing awake...?" a voice i immetiately recognized as my mother spoke. I jumped slightly and let out a shaky breath.
I rolled my eyes and looked back at her. disgusted at how similar we looked. "just hungry" i settled on as i backed away from the door and back to my cereal. she didnt buy it but i assumed she was too sleepy to even care judging for her sleepily mumbles.
she grabbed a box of cereal with me and began eating it the exact same way as myself. she leaned against the kitchen counter next to me and we ate in silence until i got uncomfy and left back upstairs.
what did i see though?
oli's pov: (AAAAAAAAA)
why was i currently spying on katherine in her own backyard you ask?
ever since day 1 ive wondered what shelby saw in the princess. and yes, they arent together anymore but how could anyone even like her? the same girl who used to bully innocent kids in middle school? the same bratty princess who insisted on getting the my little pony castle instead of the barbie dreamhouse?
the same bratty prick who used to be as straight as a line?
and shelby fell in love so easily?
I was currently perched up on katherines roof, trying so desperately to find where her room was (i couldnt believe houses this huge actually existed...It was like a castle!) going room to room i found that she had no siblings (why have a huge house if your an only child?) and managed to find her mother before her.
i found katherines room before i managed to loose my grip on the ladder and fell off of it. It made a loud CLASH sound and im sure it probably disrupted the house. I took my brown satchel i borrowed from shelby and raced back in the bushes. not even bothering to pick the ladder up and running all the way back to my house.
when i got there one of my many sisters, alison was sitting on the porch in the rocking chair. her rough strawberry blonde hair in a messy bun, her shit brown eyes glowing from the light of her phone with a cup of coffee in her hand.
"hey-olivia! LIV!" I was too mad (too jealous) to answer her as i stomped into the house, slamming the screen door in the middle of the night. I was far too mad to answer to a name that wasnt even mine. Oliver. Oli. thats who i am.
not olivia.
