ABIGAIL
Morning. Skylar woke up first. She went to the bathroom and washed herself with cool water. Then she began to brush her teeth and do minimalistic makeup.
'Why not take a bath in the morning? It's 6:00 am, I've enough time." ;-Skylar thought.
She plugged the hole in the bathroom with prop and began filling it to the brim with hot, relaxing water. When it was full, Skylar turned off the water supply and dipped chin-deep into the warm morning bathroom. It was blissful that Skylar closed her eyes, but the bathroom door slammed open. It was opened by Scarlett, who did not know where her sister was.
-Here you are, I was looking for you all over the house...
The younger sister ran up to Skylar fast enough to embarrass her. Scarlett was wearing a robe tied to a bow with a belt. She put her palms on the side of the tub, and Skylar gazed at her, watching her little sister's every step and breath.
Skylar froze at Scarlett's face. Such a sincere concern...
'I can't help it ...' ;-thought Skylar.
She took Scarlett and with a light movement pulled her into the bathroom. The robe is wet. Scarlett screamed in surprise, but Skylar wrapped her arms around her from behind, hugging her tightly.
Skylar: I'm warm...
Skylar held Scarlett from behind, while she was sitting in front, between her older sister's legs in fetal position. Scarlett was jittery.
'It feels like something is boiling in my stomach. Everything is cramping. I am pleased when Skylar hugs me, but it makes all my insides curl up in my stomach...' ;-thought Scarlett.
Skylar: Do you want me to wash your hair? ;-the older sister asked with interest.
Scarlett: Won't it bother you?
Skylar: No, it's nice and relaxing. ;-with a sincere smile she answered.
Skylar took a scented shampoo and poured some into her palm. Then, closing the vapostick along the way, putting it on the shelf, she evenly distributed the liquid on her palms and applied it to Scarlett's hair. Skylar gently washed each hair, stroking her sister's head.
'How nice... Blessed... Her hands are so gentle... I'm melting...' ;-thought Scarlett.
Then Skylar began to wash off all the shampoo from Scarlett's hair. After a minute or two, Skylar turned off the hand shower and attached it to the wall. Then she took a towel and dried Scarlett's hair.
Skylar was already getting to her feet, but Scarlett stopped her.
-Can you still hold me in your arms? I like it...
Skylar lowered her head in agreement and sat back down. Grabbing Scarlett from her back, Skylar hugged her tightly to her.
Skylar: By the way, where did you get Neko ears?
This question arose spontaneously, but she was interested to know the answer to it.
Scarlett: When I was in the basement, I had a cat with me, Kimi. I was lonely, so I talked to her. Once, my mother may have accidentally dropped these ears when she left the basement. I wear them as a memory of Kimi, that was with me at that time.
'I mean, if there weren't Kimi, would Scarlett just go crazy?? It's horrible!' ;-Skylar thought.
Skylar only pressed her little sister tighter, leaning the lips against her sister's wet head.
Skylar: We've got to go. The first lesson will begin soon!
Skylar caught herself and left the bathroom. She dried herself dry and put on the seifuku, that hung on the door hook. She helped Scarlett get out and gave her a towel. Scarlett also dried herself and put on her robe. They left the bathroom and Scarlett put on her school seifuku, knee-high stockings and flat shoes. Getting their backpacks ready, the sisters ran to school at a brisk pace.
'7:50 am, there will be a council meeting soon. I can't be late! ;-thought Skylar.
Scarlett and Skylar ran into school and stopped to catch their breath.
Skylar: I forgot to tell you that I am on the student council. I will miss the first lesson, but after that I will come at recess. Okay?
Scarlett: It'll be sad without you... Okay, I understand.
Scarlett hugged her sister and, saying goodbye, ran to class.
Skylar ran to the council office. There were sisters and brothers and a vice president now. She took a deep breath and exhaled, then entered the office. Everyone was sitting at a large table. Skylar walked to her seat and sat on it. Her presence, in fact, is all that is required of her, and still listen to the 'brothers' and 'sisters'.
Skylar: Hello everyone at the council meeting. Anyone have any ideas for any changes?
Skylar looked at everyone present and one 'sister' began to speak:
-President, most of the students are tired after school. Today is Friday and I would like to have a party in some class. Everyone can bring something, like pastries or drinks, and we can all just relax.
Skylar sunk into a reverie.
'Why not actually?' ;-thought Skylar.
-Great idea, Abigail. I think there will be no problems with this, so I will ask for the keys to our office and by 4 pm we will be able to prepare everything.
-And yes, I wanted to say one more thing. There are rumors around the school that some of the students are behaving indecently. It interferes with the learning process, so I would forbid girl-to-girl relationships.
Skylar's heart pierced with a spear. Abigail was basically talking about her. What happens if she refuses this offer. Will this lead her to suspicion?
-I don't see an urgent need for this. For now, we will concentrate on the party in our class. I will make an announcement, but the maximum number of people present will be 30-35 people. So if no one else wants to say, then the meeting is over.
Skylar got up from the table and nodded her goodbye. She went into her office and typed a party announcement on the printer. She posted all the notices on the poles and went to classroom to meet with Scarlett.
The second lesson was already ending. Skylar entered the classroom and approached her younger sister.
Skylar: Hello, haven't seen each other for a long time. Listen, stay in class after school and wait for me, okay?
Scarlett: Okay, did something happen?
Skylar: It's okay, I'll just skip the rest of the lessons. After their end, a surprise awaits you. Do you want it?
Scarlett: It will be sad without you... But if it's necessary, then fine. I'll wait for you. ;-the last words she said with a smile.
'What kind she is...' ;-thought Skylar.
Skylar: Good. I'm going to prepare a surprise for you. See you soon!
Scarlett: Bye!
Skylar left the classroom and headed for the school exit. She pondered what Abigail had said about the strict prohibition of same-sex relationships. These thoughts displaced thoughts of what to bring to the party. The first thing that came to her mind was to make frosting muffins. She went into the store and went to the phone to see the recipe:
For muffins:
230g flour;
150g sugar;
1 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
230g sour cream;
1 egg;
90g butter;
2 tablespoons lemon zest
2 tablespoons lemon juice.
For glaze:
80ml lemon juice;
80g granulated sugar.
'So... It doesn't seem like much. Some ingredients are at home... ' ;-Skylar thought.
She took all the missing ingredients and bought them. When she got home, she immediately went into the kitchen. The father was sitting in the office, or went somewhere. In one word, he didn't bother her. Skylar put on an apron and tied her hair in a ponytail.
'So... Let's get started...'
She made a large bowl in which she mixed flour, sugar, baking powder, and baking soda and salt. Separately combining sour cream, egg, melted butter, she added zest and lemon juice. Then she beat everything until smooth. She poured the flour mixture into the sour cream and mixed. She took two-thirds of the muffin molds. Then she put everything in the oven for 18-20 minutes, until the muffins were browned. Then she put them to cool in molds for 5 minutes. In the meantime, she began to prepare the frosting. She brought the lemon juice from the sugar to a boil in a small saucepan. Then she stirred the mixture until the sand dissolved. She pierced the muffins with a toothpick so that the glaze would penetrate inside.
'Uhhh... It looks like that's all... 20-25 muffins are ready.
She put them in the plastic bain-marie, put the bain-marie in her backpack. She returned to school class. There she met Scarlett.
Skylar: So after school, I mean now, there will be a party in our class. Many students are tired after class, so the party should be relaxing for everyone.
Scarlett: I have no idea how it will look. I have never been to such holidays. Hope it will be fun.
Skylar's head flashed.
'Didn't Scarlett have a childhood at all? And all she did was sit in a dark basement?'
Scarlett: So can we get the class ready for the party?
This brought Skylar out of her trance.
Skylar: Yes, I think it's about time.
She moved the desks into one table, as in the study council. Students began to come to the class by invitation, and as a result, 20-25 students gathered in the class. On the tables was soda, in some places low-alcohol drinks. Some brought pastries like Skylar. Council member attended as well, such as Abigail. Abigail was alarmed that Skylar didn't want to impose a ban on same-sex relationships and she began surveillance.
Skylar pulled the muffins from her backpack and laid them on the table.
Skylar: I can't cook, but I tried to do something. Will you taste it?
Scarlett looked at the muffins and smiled.
Scarlett: They look delicious.
She took one muffin and took a bite. Cheekbones tightened, and the gums began to burn. She lowered her head to swallow a bite and reached for the mineral water. After two or three sips, she began to speak:
-I think you've oversalted the muffins. Cough, cough... My cheekbones hurts... ;-from the side it looked as if she was whining, or whimpering.
Skylar: Sorry, this is my first time cooking.
-Everything is fine... I will go out on the balcony... I-I need air...
They walked out onto the balcony of the classroom and Scarlett breathed deeply. Tears welled up in her eyes. Not from pain, but from a burning sensation.
Skylar began to cry, sobbing.
-Sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you...
Suddenly Skylar felt the touch of a hand on her shoulder. This hand was Scarlett's.
-Everything is fine. I appreciate your efforts. You made muffins for the first time, so this is just a mistake you will learn from.
Scarlett tightened her cuffs and wiped away her older sister's tears.
-Don't cry, it makes me sad too.
Skylar put her hand to her little sister's hand, which was holding her cheek. The heartbeat became as stable as the breath.
Suddenly a click was heard from behind the doors. It was the sound of the camera. Abigail photographed Skylar sitting with Scarlett, holding her hand to her cheek.
Abigail: Shame on, President. Having fun with your sister in a dark corner, hiding from everyone... Now I understand why you didn't want to ban same-sex relationships...
Skylar: Abigail, what do you want?
Abigail: Hmm... I want to be vice president. And let the current vice president be demoted.
Skylar: How am I going to do this?
Abigail: I don't know... These are your problems. By the way, I am sincerely shocked that you are kissing your sister...
Suddenly Scarlett got into the conversation:
Scarlett: It's not up to you to decide whether we love each other or not. Lawless Heart. Why can't you understand this?
Abigail: Oh, the little sister stands up for the older... How sweet... Her status prevents her from being in same-sex relationships.
Scarlett: You envy that Skylar and I are doing well, unlike you. Do you have a loved one on whose shoulder you can cry? Or the one who will give you affection at the moment when you are depressed?
Scarlett's words made Abigail open her mouth. She was numb. Every word Scarlett said was true.
Abigail: I don't care. I just want vice president status. If I'm not one in a week, this photo will be sent to all students, teachers and even school employees.
Skylar was thinking. Was thinking how to remove Abigail from her life and Scarlett's life.
'Why not just kill her?' ;-thought Skylar.
A smile loomed on her face. Abigail left the balcony, and Scarlett turned to her older sister:
-We'll have to stop kissing and giving each other affection. After all, you need to be the president of the academic council.
Skylar turned to Scarlett, who was sitting on the floor. She sat down opposite her and hugged her tightly, resting her head on her shoulder.
-No. I don't need this status. I need only you...
They left the balcony and left the class altogether. They headed home. Skylar had the same idea in her head:
'Kill Abigail and it'll be okay.'
The sisters came home. Entering the room Skylar instantly plopped down on the bed. So many thoughts. So many ways to fix the problem... Only one thing held Skylar back. This 'one' was Scarlett. Skylar couldn't kill Abigail because of Scarlett. Or maybe not?
Skylar lay on the bed while Scarlett did her homework.
Skylar: Scarlett, look, if I kill Abigail, we can continue to date and give each other affection. I wanted to ask you...
Scarlett: No. Please don't do this...
Skylar: Why? Then we can be together as before and no one will bother us.
Scarlett: Because if you kill her, her mom and dad will mourn her. This is selfishness.
Skylar pondered and lowered her head said:
-You are a real angel.
It was getting late, so Skylar went to bed next to Scarlett. Skylar closed her eyes, completely relaxing. She didn't yet know that the next day would keep her in constant jitters, and that the question would not be an exception from the presidency, but life and death...
'Why not take a bath in the morning? It's 6:00 am, I've enough time." ;-Skylar thought.
She plugged the hole in the bathroom with prop and began filling it to the brim with hot, relaxing water. When it was full, Skylar turned off the water supply and dipped chin-deep into the warm morning bathroom. It was blissful that Skylar closed her eyes, but the bathroom door slammed open.
