Chapter 1 What Do You Think
"Hazel!" The boy groaned after being beaten again. He threw his gamepad to the space beside him.
The white haired girl with gray orbs who sat beside him, chuckled. She stretched her hand and ruffled the boy's brown hair.
"Don't be upset Damon, I only pressed five buttons that was all. You saw it, didn't you?"
The boy stared at the side, sulking. With the quietness of the room, the sound of someone descending down the stairs was heard.
Getting to the sitting room, she noticed the sulking look on Damon's face and guessed directly: "The twentieth time she's beating you"
She sighed and continued, staring pitifully at him. Hazel at the side exclaimed: "Twenty seven times already? That was fast!"
"Yep, and it's been only thirty minutes and that was when I left." The girl nodded still standing over them.
Damon turned to the girl and choked: "Stop it Ariel!"
Ariel raised her hands in surrender and walked to a long cushion. She plopped herself on it and stretched her legs on it.
The corners of Hazel's lips spasmed. She glanced at Damon and suggested: "Okay, how about we play something else, another game?"
At that moment the door opened and Romeo strolled in.
"Welcome dad!" The three simultaneously greeted.
Romeo nodded at them and walked to s free cushion. He glanced towards Hazel and said: "Hazel, it's your second year in college and I would love it if you attend a physical school environment"
Hazel out of all her three siblings had been the only one who couldn't cope with being in a physical contact with strangers. Hence, she had studied and being a student of a prestigious college online.
Hazel slowly nodded not giving room to any objections. Seeing she agreed, Romeo turned to the other two: "Damon would be starting college with you guys too. Right, I'll be in my room."
After saying that, he stood up and walked up to his room. Damon who was initially sulking, turned to Hazel with an excited expression: "I can't wait to tell everyone I have such a beautiful and intelligent elder sister"
Ariel who lay on the long couch beside theirs, stared down at her phone feeling wronged. Beautiful and intelligent elder sister? She was also his sister and although not on par with Hazel, was second only to her.
Feeling the angry, hurt glare emanating from behind him, Damon turned to stare at Ariel.
He scratched his head nervously, unaware of how his words had angered her.
Just in time Hazel whispered: "My advice to you, run and settle with her later."
The advice came right in time as Ariel suddenly took his position but thankfully Damon ready stood at the stairs.
"Even though I'm unaware of what I did wrong, I'm sorry" then he continued upwards.
Ariel who now sat beside Hazel, picked up his game pad, searched for a game and asked: "Wanna play?"
Hazel shrugged and picked hers and the game got started.

•Next Morning•
Hazel opened her eyes to the sound of dripping water. She caught sight of the talk figure at her window.
"Good morning Dad" she greeted, rubbing her eyes slightly.
Romeo rolled up the window blind and walked to her. When got to her, he stretched the mug towards her.
Gratefully, she accepted it and drowned it in one gulp, then handed it back to him.
"Today is your first day at school. I've prepared all you're gonna need. Your books, extra clothes and others I don't think is necessary to remember." Romeo said trying to remember.
Hazel chuckled softly. Romeo searched his pocket and took out two little boxes. He dropped the mug on her bed, he opened one of the boxes and handed it to her. He opened the other and held it in display.
"Which do you want? Silver Gray or Blue?"
"I'll go with the Silver" Hazel answered and dropped the blue contact lens inside her drawer. Then took the other one and drpped it on her bed.
The man nodded, grabbed the mug and excused her. She stayed twenty minutes under the shower before wrapping the white towel around herself and walked out.
After she was done dressing, she sling the silver bag and headed downstairs. Damon and Ariel were already at the dinning table laughing and eating at the same time.
"Hazel!" Damon called on sighting her "You're here"
Hazel stared lazily at him as she reclined beside Ariel.
Thankfully, the boy said nothing provocative throughout the meal.
"Dad gave me s BMW, how about you Ariel?" Damon, the talkative one asked.
"I was given a Lamborghini, I'm contented with it tho" then she turned to Hazel, "what's yours?"
Hazel fetched a key from her leather jacket and dangled it in front of them: "Granpa gave me this"
The other two felt their eyes fall open. The guy was an exclusive one, their grandfather had been working on it for years and handed it to their sister. So unfair!!
"I feel like you're gonna attract a lot of attraction which I know you don't want to" Damon said.
"You can have it then" She said, throwing the key at Ariel.
Ariel shook her head. It was a customized car, of course not everyone could drive it. It was only designated for Hazel.
"We all know I can't have or drive it Hazel, it was made specially for you" Ariel said and threw the key back at her.
Hazel Nodded and suggested: "How about you two get in and I drive you guys to school using my phone as the key?"
The other two liked it, it was an opportunity neither of them wanted to miss, so not standing on ceremonial ground, they hopped in excited.
Hazel excused herself and searched outside for a taxi, regardless of the scowls from the two Siblings.
After she stopped a taxi, got in and settled down in it, she took out her phone and with the aid of a special app which was connected to the car, she was able to navigate it to the college.
