4.Need to set a score

Books and papers are scattered all around. Ryan is reading some book. Sophie is using her lappy. While I'm writing, striking, and pulling my hairs out. We got an English assignment to submit. As Mr.Grant is very strict it is very difficult to please him. So we decided to meet at Ryan's place finish it and proofread each other's work

After 4hours, we finished our assignment with tons of proofreading and editing. We just stayed in content that the work is done.

"I'm hungry," Sophie said breaking the silence.

"Let me go and grab some snacks from the kitchen," Ryan replied standing up and stretching his body, and went out of the room

"Wait, Let me come with you, you might need some help" Sophie shouted and dashed after Ryan.

Feeling sleepy, I just stretched my legs on the carpet, sitting with my back in support to the bed, I placed my head on the mattress, and closed my eyes and within no time sleep overwhelmed me.

I woke up hearing laughter and saw Ryan and Sophie watching some stand-up comedy. I checked the time. I'm asleep only for 30minutes but the short nap is pure bliss.

"Where's the food guys? I'm famished."

"At last the princess is up," Ryan remarked without taking his eyes off from the laptop.

"We got some cookies and milkshakes, but as you are fast asleep, so we decided to let you sleep. Ryan decided to finished your milkshake too. Do you want me to go and get you another one?" Sophie asked me while handing me the cookies. I told her to not bother.

After a few minutes of chatting, Sophie collected her books and papers and left for her home as it's nearing her curfew.

I went downstairs to meet Kristina.

"Amy, I was just thinking to come upstairs and meet you, Are you free this Sunday? There is a new shopping plaza which opened nearby, we could go shopping. Priya, you and me. Are you free dear?" asked Kristina looking excited as always in her favourite Prada dress.

"Yes, that's gonna be so much fun, It's been so long since we three went out" I replied happily.

I love spending time with Kristina. She is like a mother figure to me.

"Okay, I will call Priya and ask her if she has any plans for that day." Kristina walked away delightedly to call my mama.

"Hey Amy, your assignment looks good, but I wonder what Mr Grant says if you can't submit it tomorrow" Jason said entering the giant living room.

"Where did you get my assignment? And what did you do?"

I didn't wait for his reply and ran back to Ryan's room and noticed that the assignment that I left on the carpet where I sat before was missing.

Oh no!! I'm going to be dead. I hate Jason. He is hell-bent on making my life miserable. Knowing him maybe my assignment is burning in the fireplace.

I ran back to Jason. "You idiot, give me my assignment if you don't want me to post your childhood nude pic, crying your eyes out circling among the students.''

"I dare you to do so, if you post it you can say goodbye to your hair, you can't forget what happened?" He gave a smug smile.

And I shuddered at the memory, this moronic idiot decided to cut my pigtails when I'm fast asleep just to make me cry. Trust me when I say he is an asshole.

"I'm going to kill you today, mark my words." My anger and irritation are raising beyond my capability. I feel like pulling my hairs out.

He just lay there on the couch whistling some stupid tune.

"Don't test my patience Jason" I warned him. Taking slow steps to him like a predator ready to attack.

"Okay, you may find it near the pool or maybe in the pool"

"What the actual frick!!" I sped out of the house towards the swimming pool.

I ran to the pool and saw some papers floating in the water. Tears brimmed my eyes. That's 4hours of hard work. Wiping my tears, I turned around to see Jason smirking, standing just inches away from me.

"You are an asshole, do you know that? Do you know how much time I have spent on that bloody assignment? I hate you. I hate you so much." I said throwing my fists on his chest.

And the idiot is just grinning like a maniac. Why can't my punches induce a little amount of pain!! I just turned irritated and walked 2steps away from him and immediately turned and pushed Jason into the pool.

"Serves you right," I said giving him a Devil's smirk.

"Thank you kitty, Just thought to take a bath, but let me tell you your assignment is safe with me. I thought to give it back but now seeing what you did... I'm having second thoughts." Saying he started swimming.

No point in pleading with him now. I will just go and search in his room. I searched every corner but alas. I thought to ask Ryan's help in searching or just writing the assignment again. I walked back to Ryan's room to see him sitting and playing games in his lappy.

"Ryan, I lost my assignment, thanks to your stupid brother," I let out an angry sigh.

"Your assignment is in your bag." He replied engrossed in his game.

"What? How do you know?"

"You left your papers here, so I placed them in your bag"

I immediately went to check in my bag and the bloody assignment is in my bag.

I'm happy that I got my assignment but I still need to set a score with Jason for making me run up and down in this gigantic mansion.

I saw ink on the table and grabbed it, and went to Jason's room. I peeked a little and saw that the room was empty. I immediately went to the cupboard And saw his Football Jersey. With an evil smile on my face, just as I'm about to pour the ink someone grabbed my hand.

"What are you doing Amelia?" He grunted.

Ohhh he called me by my full name and that's not a good sign.

I turned around and I gave him a sheepish smile and tried to release my hand from his grip.

"Leave my hand you asshole" I spat at him seeing him tighten his hold on my wrist.

I saw Jason staring intently at my face. And all I could think was how his handsome face looks with ink on it, my hands are itching me to do it.

I poured the ink on his head and when he is bit by shock, I ran for my life.

I heard him running behind me asking me to stop, I turned around and I saw his face and can't stop laughing. I sprinted into the kitchen running away from him and saw Martha, the housekeeper mixing something in a bowl.

Jason caught up to me, grabbed me by my waist with one hand, he took the bowl from startled Martha and emptied the contents on my head.

He immediately left me and went a step back to look at my face and started laughing out loud throwing his head back. And then I noticed that I was covered in the chocolate cake batter. I grabbed the nearby container filled with flour and started to empty its content on Jason, halfway through he pulled the container from my hand and emptied the remaining flour over me.

"What's the noise in here" entered Kristina.

She has that shocked expression seeing us covered in ink, cake batter, and flour. And I just gave her a sheepish smile like a kid got caught stealing his favourite candy.

She started laughing and was joined by Martha.

"When are you two going to grow up? Look at the mess you both created in the kitchen. You guys are growing but the fights are still the same."

Kristina immediately took her phone and clicked our pictures.

Jason being the arrogant guy walked out of the kitchen while I happily posed for her1. I just felt bad for Martha, she should clean all this, I offered to help her clean up the mess

"Go and wash" she chided me.

I didn't bother to go near Jason again. After binge-watching a series with Ryan. I walked into the guest bedroom, which is practically mine. I'm not in the mood of going back home. This room is exactly to my liking the spread, curtains, and decor.

I walked into the shower, relaxing after a hectic day. My days are always hectic when Jason is around. We always fight like cats and dogs.

It all started in childhood when playing with Ryan in the garden and Jason came running and accidentally pushed me which resulted in me breaking my left arm. Peter in the spur of the moment gave a tight slap to Jason across his face. That's the first time he raised his hand on Jason.

Jason felt it's my fault that he got a slap from his dad. He scared the hell out of me dressing up in his monster Halloween costume. Which gave me a high fever and he again got a scolding from his parents.

Thus the never-ending feud between us started. We are always fighting and bickering. I try to get back to him but my futile attempts go down the drain always. If a genie grants me a wish then I would wish for a world without Jason.
