I changed on my way back home, my parents are stricter so down goes that ponytail and on goes the flowy blue dress, my house is in viera, which is the rich area of the city, not exactly the outside of the city, (which is usually just plains of moon rock and the occasional pink tree or pond and small house) its next to the center and next to middle class neighborhoods, big buildings disguised as normal work buildings or apartments, in reality it’s just mansions for huge rich families. I have OVER 15 brothers AND 15 sisters. I don't remember any of their names, we all have huge rooms and separate hallways and go to different schools. As far as i know I’m an only child and occasionally i pass someone who happens to also live in my huge house and happens to be related to me.
When I walk through the door and lock the door and quickly rush past the lobby and past relatives or siblings or some people just there. I rush through the hallway and enter my zone up the stairs past one of the lounges and up into my room. Not that I dislike confrontation, I'd just rather not have to deal with the glares of my parents nor the pain of my aching jaw from glaring back. My room isn't as decorated as you’d expect most 17 year old’s rooms to be, it's got your basic stuff, a balcony, crystals hanging from the ceiling, a waterfall, a large canopy bed, indoor tree, lounge area, tv, computer, roses everywhere, clothes everywhere. Basic rich girl stuff, we may have technology but lua takes inspiration from vaaleria, The main world.
The main world has never really evolves like lua. It has some modern cities but it’s an ancient world. My parents love vaaleria so yeah, hence the room with modern and old aspects. I drop my bag on the sofa and go to my moon mirror to touch up my hair before my parents send a letter scolding me or worse.
My long dark brownish black wavy hair reaches just the edge of my butt, it’s still flawless, always has been. “Stupid perfect hair” i muttered as i go out to the balcony, the stars souls don't shine in space, they’re practically impossible to see through the dome of the city + they’re all the way floating orbiting outside the atmosphere of vaaleria, i can sorta see the train that winds down to the mother planet, the other moons shine in the distance, there’s 7 or 8 of them, they contain the lands of the dead in their cores, i’ll see one of them one i die. Suddenly there’s a knock at the door, “come in'' i turn around and the person at the door leans in, it’s a 13 year old girl with blonde hair, “um…. “ says the girl “Estelle.” I say in response. “Right, Estelle, um mother and father would like to speak to you” says the girl (who i can only assume is my sister) i open my mouth to speak but the girl flinches, i guess my expression was pretty readable, “alright, thank you….” hesitantly “maria'' i say finally
“Aurora” she says and dashes away quietly. I immediately erase that embarrassing experience from my brain and make my way to my parents office at the top of the mansion. The elevator is pretty shabby, I'll never hear the end of it from my parents if I walk up from the stairs. When I walk into the office my mother AND father are standing there kissing disgustingly. “Don't you have enough children?” I say with my arms crossed. “Dear, you scared us. A lady should not say such a rude thing. You ought to get your own husband yourself and you’d make many beautiful children." On lua having children is only for rich people. On the mother planet children are a blessed gift, people get together to have children and usually only 1 is rare and must be protected, love is unusual and rare there. I never saw the point of having many children, most people on lua dream of the motherland.
“Yeah of course mother. What was it you called me for”
“Now daughter, you should know that a lady addresses her father and mother both.” said father
“Hello father” “we called you because you missed your harp practice.” “I know how to play that perfectly and you said I could take some time off” “yes darling but you should have told us in advance, you’re also not spending enough time with your friends, you’ll spend the rest of the day with them then go home and practice your harp. We have an event next tuesday you’ll attend” said mother, “but mother- i am tired and i hardly see the need for me to hang out with those bit-” my mother stood up sharply “estelle olivia evangeline. You shall say no such thing. A lady does not call her companions in such a way. You will shut your mouth and listen to your mother and father. You are an evangeline and you will do as such.” said my mother, obviously i was pissed but i know my parents there’s not any worth in arguing if i don't wanna get locked in my room or something. I nodded and walked away, down the stairs because I know that’ll annoy them.

As I pass maria on the stairway, (whom i remember because i now am very annoyed at her) i shoot her a glare as i pass and she flinches and runs away. I know she’s technically my sister, but she’s also a bitch. When I get back to my room I put on a strapless bra and some makeup, simple and natural. I get on a more flattering dress but not to expose myself, I don't actually like my friends as you may remember, they’re rich and popular so my parents assigned them to me as their parents gave me to them. I still have to stand out, I like to look pretty, it’s annoying to look perfect all the time but I do like to stand out. “I look like a hoe,” I said as I gathered my bag and left.
My ‘friends’ were at the plaza from the rich kid school as usual. “Omg estella! Hey, we were wondering where you were!” said amelia edith primrose (that’s how you know they’re a rich bitch, they have a middle name that screams too short for the first name a million dollar last name)
“Hey, Amelia,” I said. (i'm not much of a talker) “well?? What’s the tea sweetheart? Where were you???” violetta zaria bridgette. Make no mistake these girls may seem nice but they’re pure evil and doing this outta obligation 100%. “Oh you look a little snug, have you gained weight? That’s good on you you were such a twig” said natalia alice vienna “natalia please darling you interrupted me. So estelle. Where have you been?” since yesterday? Minding my own fucking business violetta. “Oh I had harp lessons but i took a bath, it’s been so nice lately for a blue water bath” i said with a toxic smile. Blue bathes are expensive and not an occasion for just whenever, lua water is pink so blue water is from laavria. I can see a twinge of satisfying jealousy in her eyes. “I hadn't noticed i gained weight i’ve actually been more diligent with my skincare lately, you look more curvy lately have you been forgetting yourself haha” i say like a little angel of toxicity. Natalia smiles and doesn't say anything. “Well that’s good! Oh natalia don't look so sour, Estelle is right after all!” says clara ana mathew with a laugh. Clara ana mathew is a rich bitch who prides herself on expensive perfumes. She smells like a garden of peonies today and looks at me expectedly. “Clara, you smell nice today, is that a new perfume?” i said,
Clara smiles with delight “yes it is! You still bathe in roses for your scent?” “Yes” I lied.
“Well, shall we go on our way? The pub is open” said amelia we all shuffled to the school pub (non alcoholic pub) while chatting about trivial things.
Turns out violetta broke up with her old boyfriend and got with the one she’s been cheating on him with. Meanwhile I can barely find someone I find even remotely attractive. It’s okay, we’re all whores here. “I hear we have a test on friday” said amelia, “friday? Dear, that's the day after tomorrow!” Natalie exclaimed, violetta growned “yes natalia. We’re well aware that Friday is the day after tomorrow” if there’s a test my father and mother may let me have more time to myself to study by study i mean work on my first job. “I may need to take time off to study a bit, as students studying is our top priority, not that i’ve fallen behind but always good to get ahead for the projects after the test” that’s also a lie, i couldn't care less about studying or school. I don't have very many passions other then change and working to change the political system in our city, my parents will pay a university to accept me and get me good grades with their money, then they’ll try and get me to marry one of the rich boys, foreign or local, rich only marries rich. Some kids have passions in school and being perfect, I'm not one of them. Clara perked up “Oh so diligent you are stelly” I’m not. “I’m sure your parents will give you time to study…” Then she started talking about her social media channel and perfume sponsors.
The next couple days were free to ‘study’ for the test, starting tomorrow. Tomorrow i would not in fact be studying obviously i would be meeting with indigo.
