"It's just a game, and you're my toy. Nothing more, nothing less" *** She just want to have a simple life, but everything turns upside down when the real game begin.

And when she got older, she just wanted to have a freedom to have a simple life that she know would never happen. It seems like the destiny is favoring her because she has the chance to achieve her desire to have a simple life. Everything went smooth, she got a friends not because she's rich but because they are really have a care for her, including him. But her desire simple life become devastated that cause her life a living hell. And all of that started with a stupid game played by him.
'Deceive everyone. Hide your real identity. Gain friends with your masks and if your already close to them, tell who you really are. See who's going to stay and others that will left you hanging. '
I just smiled as I wrote these words in my journal. To begin with, this is what I want.
For me, it's better to be a simple person. The type where you won't have a friend just because of your wealth and they will just love you because you're famous or whatever.
Deceiving everyone is the key if you're testing if they're real or not. There are people who have a lot of friends, but when the time comes, they're just backstabbing each other. They don't really love each other but using them for money, wealth and fame.
"Crystalline, are you ready?" My brother asked and sat down next to me.
I smile and nodded my head yes. I hid my journal in the drawer first because i had no intention of carrying it with me. "I'm a bit scared, brother." I said hug him.
I felt his gentle kiss on the top of my head. "You did it well, princess. If anything happens, dad and i are just here. You are our princess after all."
I just smiled at what he said. I broke free from my older brother's embrace then grabbed my suitcase. "Come on, brother. We might miss the plane."
He jokingly messed up my hair and left the room at the same time. We went straight to the parking lot where mom and dad are waiting.
Mommy sweetly smile at me. "Don't worry. You did it well." She cheer me up. I smile and hug her.
Daddy hugged me too after we got in the car. The whole trip to the airport is fun but i was just looking out the window and thinking about the possibilities.
I'm scared even though i shouldn't be. Dad and brother were just there to protect me but i still couldn't relax.

After a very long flight, we're already here in the United States of America. Many things have changed because i was only twelve years old when we left the America. I'm already seventeen that's why i'm happy that we're here at the place where i was born.
We have also been in Russia for five years and i can say that it is really better here in the USA. After all, what happened to me in Russia was just a calvary.
Homeschooling, just one friend, and lastly...
"Take a break, Crystalline. Do you want to enroll by yourself or just leave it to dad?" I shook my head no and smiled at him.
"I'll just enroll. But, come with me." I sniffed so he laughed and raised his hand to mess up my hair but i quickly avoided. "That's a kudos for messing with my hair, brother Cryston Dylan Xai Maixity!"
He raised his hand as if surrendering. "Chill, not anymore. But ..."
I raised an eyebrow at him. "But?"
He gave me a cheeky smile so i already knew what he would do right away but before i could escape, he touched my cheek with both hands and squeezed it at the same time. I screamed and slapped his hand with all my force but he just put more pressure on pinching my cheek.
"Brother! Shtrapdat!" I stopped him but he smiled and stucked his toungeout .
"What did you just say, 'more'?" He's still teasing me.
"I shaid, shtop." I shouted again but he pressed harder. I was about to kick him when he quickly let go of me and ran out of my room.
My snout dropped in pain so i touched my two cheeks and faced the mirror just in front of my bed. I extended my snout even more when i saw that my two cheeks were red as if blushed on, so my head immediately became hot.
I just didn't chase my older brother because tomorrow I will take revenge on him. I will consume the contents of his card! The pain in my cheek every time he touches it, so it must hurt his wallet as well.

"Look at that bag brother! I want that!" I said happily to older brother Cryston while pointing the displayed bag. I immediately pulled him inside.
"You mean, you're retaliating, aren't you?" He said while poiting so he looked like a dude. Not a joke, my brother is really handsome but i won't tell him that, his ego will be more higher than a building.
I laugh and encircle my hand on his arm. "Of course! My cheek hurts."
My older brother just shook his head and talked to the store staff but i noticed that the woman with the thick lipstick on and forcing her face to look cute. She even do a beautiful eyes on my brother and she is very close to him.
I stepped aside from my older brother and waved but the woman didn't notice me because she was staring at my older brother.
"Hey you." I said and pointed at her. He looked at me and raised an eyebrow at me. WTF! "Don't you ever dare to give my brother that fucking slutty smile and dog eyes. You just look like a dog with make up so back off." I said loudly so some of the buyers turned around and laughed because of what I said.
I felt my older brother's hand grip my arm but i didn't look at him. I just focused my attention on this clown dog who is now pale and embarrassed because of what i've said.
I just stared at her and turned to my older brother who raised an eyebrow while looking at me. "Let's go, brother. I don't want to buy anymore." I said he was pulled out.
"What the heck is that?" He asked with an eyebrow still raised.
I sniffed and pressed my two index fingers together and approached him. "I told you. I just want Alexa for you."
He was so scratchy on his forehead as if he was frustrated with me. "And i told you too, Alexa is just my friend."
I shuddered and narrowed my eyes at him. "No. Alexa is your ex-girlfriend. She told me that."
The wind blew him away as if giving up. "Okay but she's just my friend. Do you want to stroll around or do you want to go home?"
I nod. "Let's go home. I've lost my appetite. Just, you're not allowed to have a girlfriend, only Alexa should."
He shook his head and ignored what i was saying. "Let's go."
He was about to pull me but i shook. "You go first, brother. I'll just buy something at a cafe shop."
"Are you sure?"
I just nodded and left him to go to the nearest cafe. "Two Americanos, large size. Take out."
I quickly walked out of Starbucks after i picked up my order and paid. I'm sure my older brother is bored, he still doesn't have the patience.
I was about to go straight down the escalator but i was just slapped on my own forehead when i felt the call of nature.
I just went straight to the comfort room. I stopped walking fast and looked around as if someone was looking at me.
"Ahh!" I was startled by someone suddenly pulling large hands on my arm and pulling me into the boy's comfort room.
I struggled from his grasp but I could not shout because of the hand that covered my mouth. Our faces were also too close because I could feel his breath on my neck as well as his body already glued to mine.
"Shh. I'm harmless." He whispered and his lips gently hit on my ear bringing horror to me.
I couldn't move or scream as he slowly removed the cover from his mouth. I know he's a boy. Her fragrant perfume smelled so good. And his breath smells like lavender and roses.
It's a bit girly but the sensation is drooling my body. His voice sends tickle to my tummy. I wanted to see him but the lights inside the comfort room are turned off.
My previous fear increased when i felt him pushing me softly so i leaned against the wall. It was like being nailed and standing because of his arms on the other side of me.
I knew his face was close to mine but it got even closer and i felt him press his forehead to mine.
My breathing quickened as our noses hit. My lips opened and i tried to speak but no voice came out of me.
I winced as he slowly lowered his hand to mine and held it tightly.
He was still not satisfied with our closeness and he clung even more as we raised our hands to the side of my head. He folded it above my head with one of his hands.
I close my eyes when i feel the touch of something soft on my lips. It's his lips. I felt him gently bite my lip so i unconsciously open it myself.
His lips form to a smirk before his tongue troll inside my mouth. A few more seconds later he stopped and rested his lip on my cheek then lowered my hand earlier he was holding above my head.
He was breathing fast and soon i felt the quick touch of his soft lips on me again.
In a flash he suddenly separated from me, i only heard the door close loudly at the same time as the light turned on but, he was already gone.
I looked at myself in front of the mirror and blew the air that i had been holding back. I raised my hand to my reddened cheek and dropped to my reddened lip.
I slapped myself hard but immediately frowned because of the pain. It's not a dream. It's not a dream!
It is true. It's true that a man stole a freaking kiss from me and i didn't even saw his face. It's my first kiss but he just stole it without saying anything.
But the question is, who the hell is he?
