wanted in the
den.” I take some satisfaction as I see the worry in their eyes
before they scoot nervously away. Smiling at me Luna says, “Im glad
you're here honey. The girls and I are planning a shopping trip to
get some new clothes, your fathers treat. You must come too and we
can make a day of it.” She looks at me as if I am one of her pet
projects. “Hmm you always wear such plain things. You are such a
pretty girl and I am sure that with my guidance I could make you
into a real beauty. I mean the amount of money your father has and
his daughter dresses like a hobo.” I know that she doesn't mean
anything by it and is only trying to be kind but I can't help
myself. Grinning I do a spin. “Didn't you know Luna; hobo chic is
so in at the moment. Goodness I thought that you would have known
that.” To my surprise I hear a snort of laughter from the other
side of the room. Looking over I see that Caleb is sitting on the
couch in the corner watching the TV. Standing up he comes over and
puts his arm around me. “You know what sis; you are fast becoming
my favourite sister.” Luna looks at him in astonishment. “Oh no
Caleb, you can't have favourites in a family. You must love each
one equally.” Snorting with laughter Caleb heads off outside and I
smile sweetly at Luna. I am sure that being intellectually
challenged is a good thing in her case when she has my father as a
boyfriend. Maybe she might last longer than most.

Chapter Six
     
    As soon as I can I escape to my room and
once again lock myself in. Despite what my father wants I would
rather my own company than theirs any day. As the sun breaks
through the drapes the next day I wake up with a feeling of
excitement. I don't know why I am looking forward to seeing Drake
so much, I mean we have hardly said two words to each other but I
can remember every single one of them. I can definitely feel a
connection with him and I think that he feels it too.
    I quickly get ready and head downstairs,
hoping that they have all left already. As I enter the kitchen it
appears empty and I take the opportunity to grab some breakfast.
Before I can escape though I hear voices heading towards me and
realise that there will be no avoiding them. I cringe as I see
Ashley and Savannah coming into the room. As soon as they see me
they nudge one another and plaster the usual smirk on their faces.
They are identical twins, two of the meanest girls I have ever met.
They look like butter wouldn't melt in their mouths though. Both of
them have long blonde hair and the darkest brown eyes. They are
slim with model type figures and are both incredibly beautiful. In
fact there is not a bad gene in our family, in the looks department
anyway. They always have a string of admirers even here; I can't
imagine what the queue is like in their full time home. Like me
they live with their mother and only come here for the holidays. I
have always envied them the fact that at least they have each
other. My brothers are also not short of admirers. I hear the girls
talking in the bar. They don't know who I am and I hear them
plotting how they will get Caleb and Marius to ask them out. The
thought of either of them as boyfriend material makes me want to
laugh. Like my father they can take their pick and it appears that
they pick as often as they can. Savannah looks over. "Hey Scarlett,
don't tell me you've got to go to that flea pit and work like a
slave again. I mean you really lucked out this summer. At least
Ashley and I have a cushy number at the health club." She pauses
for effect and then smiles sweetly. "Maybe if you smartened
yourself up a bit then you would get the better job. I mean you
would stand out like a sore thumb at the club." Ashley giggles. "Oh
my God, could you imagine her there? They would have to lower the
membership fee." They both laugh and I scowl at them both. Before I
can reply Caleb pushes past them both to the fridge. Ashley glares
at him. "Watch who you're shoving. You may
