Chapter 2 Relax the Dracula 2

Relax the Dracula 2

"Okay, okay let me think about that." Well, that was yes for sure, I know that he will convince Mama. If someone can cool the Dracula then it's my Dad and yeah there is another person who could do that, The official Prick in my life. "Rob, you are not permitting these kids to go alone. Just think about it. It's about their safety." "I didn't say yes, but think about it Divya, I think they are growing up, they are not little kids anymore, I think they can handle themselves for one day. She is not going to be alone. They have each other. She needs to learn to handle herself without her help." Irritated with my Dad's response she said to me "Vicky! you three are not going without adult supervision and that's final, " She said banging her plate with rotis on the table. "Typical Indian Mother" I muttered under my breath and my father chuckled hearing it. I saw Mum's face turning red with anger. "Mama, please, it's my birthday. I know you love me and fret about me too much but you have to trust me." "Well, if we can't accompany you, then Douglas will accompany you or you are not going, the decision is yours. It's either me or Douglas." She can be so adamant sometimes. Douglas, the last name I want to hear and the last person I want to spend my birthday with. I'm super pissed now. Now it's either Dracula or the Prick. "Mama I want to have a nice outing with my friends, not me getting killed in and getting my body dumped at some dingy place." "Good morning Everyone" shouting entered a cheerful Douglas with a stupid grin on his annoying face. What a wonderful way to start my day!! name the devil and the devil is here. I can't help but wonder if he has any psychic powers. "Why are you always here for breakfast?" I glared at him as hard as I could. "Because the chef in my house doesn't prepare such yummy Indian food and I love to start my day seeing a lovely face in the morning." He replied, taking a seat at the dining table opposite me. "But I don't want to see your face." I snorted and ripped my roti into two pieces wishing it to be Douglas's neck. "Oh, you wish!! But I'm talking about your Mom's lovely face which usually brightens up my whole day." He gave his ever-so-charming smile to my mom and happily accepted his plate full of rotis. Mama gave him a playful whack on his shoulder and he winked at her in response. Someone just came and stabbed me to death. "I wish you would stop it there young man," Dad said scowling. That's enough for Douglas to stop his buttering session. "Douglas, I want to know if you are free this weekend?" Mama asked him while serving him more rotis and curry. I mentally reminded myself to add more chili/pepper powder to the food without Mama noticing, maybe that would stop him from gobbling up all the food in my house. Why can't he stay at his home for food? They have an army of servants. He could get anything with a snap of his fingers. "Yeah I'm free but why?" Douglas asked with his mouth fully stuffed with roti. "It's Vicky's birthday and..." "You want me to come to this monkey's birthday party? No, I would pass" he cut Mama before she could complete her sentence. "No, she wants to go to an amusement park with Alice and Helix so I want you to go with them and make sure that they won't get into any trouble." I know that he definitely wouldn't agree to it. I know him too well. "Okay sure," he looked at me with a lopsided grin on his face. Oh how much I want to smack his face and wipe the grin off. Maybe I don't know him too well. How did he agree to that and more importantly, why did he agree to that? So many questions are running through my mind. After breakfast, Douglas sat in the car and started honking as if his panties were in a twist. I rushed to give quick kisses to my parents and ran to him and sat in the passenger seat. Oh, I hate the mere existence of him in my life. I have to drive to school with him daily. How he always comes in between my tiny-miny wishes. And my Mama always listens to him. I don't know what magic he uses on her. We started at Ferdinand's mansion, which was a few blocks away to pick up my best friend. "Why did you agree to come with us to the amusement park?" I asked, annoyed. "Did you think I would lose this opportunity to boss you around for one full day? Imagine getting the chance to command Princess Victoria Collins that too on her Birthday. That's a dream come true." he replied. I scoffed at him. Oh, now I know why he agreed. I plan to enjoy my birthday with my friends. Once reaching Brown's residence, Helix raised his eyebrows at me asking for an update. I mouthed him 'Later' and he nodded immediately. Helix joined us in the car and we started to drive off to school. Helix and I started searching for Alice amongst all the hyper students after their summer vacation. Near my locker, I caught sight of Alice waiting for me. I told Alice and Helix that maybe our plan to the amusement park might not happen as the He-Devil is coming himself to babysit us. "But Vicky, I think we shouldn't cancel the plan but invite a few more people," said Helix "What do you mean, Helix" "Well think about it, you should invite Dana, Luis, Ben, and Ava" "Why would I want to invite Douglas’s girlfriend and friends for my Birthday? When I don't want him to come in 1st place." I asked in confusion. I gagged at the thought of Just seeing Douglas and Dana shoving their tongues down each other's throats for a full day. "Oh yes!! Then Dana would be busy with his friends without bothering us and we can have all the fun" exclaimed an excited Alice. "That's the dumbest idea I have ever listened to." "We are 14, not 41. This is what my brain could pull. Can you give a better idea?" Helix asked with his hands crossed at his chest and narrowed his eyes at me. "Okay, let me invite them and see if they are willing to come," I sighed. Okay, this is a stupid idea but I could try and see what happens. I think they probably will when they come to know that Douglas is coming with us. If not others at least Dana will come, she won't leave any chance to be with Douglas, showing him off as her boyfriend. I started walking with my two best friends towards our classroom in content. Maybe our plan for the amusement park could still happen.
