Mischa's POV

"Okay I will let you stay here for a while" I said while sitting on my couch facing her. She's very happy like a little child, I can't help myself not to feel the same when I saw her happy face, I can't believe myself. I left home because I don't want my parents controlling me, I'm an only child and I don't like sharing my things to others especially if we're not close.

"Thank you!" she stood up and about to hug me again when I raised my hands to stop her from coming closer.

"No don't hug me please" She nodded hastily in response before sitting down again. I'm just silent while gazing at her intently but I yawned after a few minutes because I'm tired already, I feel so sleepy though I slept well earlier.

"Let's go to sleep for now. We'll talk again tomorrow" I said before standing up.

I headed to my room immediately to brush my teeth. I'm used to my room being dark whenever I'm about to sleep so I didn't bother turning the lights on.

I threw myself on my bed when I'm done, I was about to reach for my blanket when I recoiled because I felt someone beside me. I opened my lampshade immediately and saw Heaven lying with my blanket wrapped around her body. I pushed her out of my bed in annoyance, she stood up immediately and gave me a questioning look.

"You're not sleeping with me! Sleep on the couch!" I yelled while pointing to the living room.

"Huh? I'm too tall to fit on your couch" she replied yawning.

"I don't care! You're gonna rape me when I'm asleep!" I said accusingly but she just gave me a confused look, she didn't get what I meant and thought for a while.

"So how does a girl rape a girl?" she asked me afterwards, I was about to respond when she spoke.

"Aha! Using this!" she said while raising her right hand. My eyes widen in embarrassment, I reached for my pillow and threw it to her direction immediately.

"You little pervert get out of here!" I shouted before throwing another pillow at her. She immediately ran to the door and left.

I groaned in so much embarrassment becuase of what she said.

"What have I gotten myself into?"

♥️

I haven't slept well last night and my eye bags are so visible. I was awake until four in the morning because I'm thinking of the money that I spent with the wrong person.

It's Sunday today thank God.

I'm already awake but I don't want to get up yet. I just want to lie down on my bed and relax while my eyes are closed. I am enjoying the moment when I heard a knock but I ignored it.

"Mischa I'm hungry" she said after knocking twice, I ignored her again. I let her live with me but that doesn't mean that I will cook for her.

I don't want to anger myself this early so I pretended that I'm still sleeping. She didn't insist when I didn't respond on her knock. I'm rethinking everything that I'm doing, it's been only 24 hours since I lost all the money that I save for 2 years, and now I have an orphan.

What's wrong with me? I think I'm going to grow some white hair.

I'm really feeling so lazy today. I'm about to drift to sleep again when my stomach started groaning.

"Fudge I'm hungry" I have a mild ulcer so I don't have a choice but to stand up and eat.

I wonder what she's doing. I asked mentally while walking lazily to the kitchen.

My eyes widen in disbelief the moment I saw her, she's mixing the pancake powder. I frowned when I remember that she has a wound on her finger and my kitchen is a mess, she has flour on her uniform and lots on the floor, I hate it when my house is messy, I have OCD when it comes to cleanliness.

"What are you trying to do with my kitchen?" I yelled before grabbing the mixer.

"I...uh...I'm hungry and I thought you were still asleep so I 'm trying to make pancakes" she replied nervously, I rolled my eyes at her before I started mixing the powder again.

She sat in front of me and watched what I'm doing, like I said I don't like it when someone's looking at me so I started to talk to prevent her.

"Do you even know how to cook pancakes?" I asked while putting the egg yolk.

"No" she replied smiling, I rolled my eyes again while shaking my head.

"But there's an instruction at the back of that carton so I can understand it, I'm a fast learner" she added.

Yeah right.

"Make coffee for us" I commanded which she followed immediately.

I ignored her and pretended that she doesn't exist while I'm cooking.

"This is how you make pancake" I said  before putting the pancake on her plate. She thanked me before she started eating.

I smiled while watching her. I never had a sister because mom doesn't want to be pregnant anymore.

Is this the feeling of having a little sister? I coughed after a while to catch her attention.

"I have rules here, and I want you to follow it, or else shoo" I said while waving my hands.

"Okay" she simply said while waiting patiently to what I'm going to say next.

"Rule no. 1, when people ask you about our relationship, tell them that we're cousins"

"Lying is bad" she said flatly which made me frown.

"What do you want me to say? That I wished to a scam website for a boyfriend but I clicked the girlfriend?" I asked her irritably.

"No"

"Then what?" it's still early yet I am already irritable, I also hate it when someone questions me.

"I'm your girlfriend" she said smiling at me which caused my face to retort.

"You're still dreaming, I didn't accept you as that. You're just like my little sister or a cousin and that's it. If you don't like that then you can go" I said while arching my brow.

"Okay I'm sorry" she agreed while pouting like a child.

I told her not to talk when her mouth is full! I complained mentally because I don't want her to answer back.

"Rule no. 2, don't use my clothes, and other personal stuff"

"But I don't have any clothes" she argued.

That's when I realized that she hasn't changed her clothes since yesterday. I tapped my forehead in irritation. I ignored her again and continued what I'm saying.

"Rule no. 3, don't bother me when I'm at home or at school. Just like you said yesterday, pretend that you don't exist"

"Araso!" she said before saluting.

"What?" What the hell is Araso?

"It means alright or understood in Korean" she explained politely. I rolled my eyes again.

"We're in California speak English" I said before standing up to wash the dishes. When her wound is healed I will make her do household chores because that's the least she can do for staying in my house for free and I hope I can survive living with her.

❤️

We went to the mall to buy clothes for her when afternoon came. I don't want her to wear my clothes so I don't have a choice but to buy her.

I still can't believe I'm doing this! Mischa come back to your senses!

We're walking while I'm busy texting, as much as possible I'm avoiding having a conversation with her. I flinched when she suddenly held my hand and swayed it like lovers do. I snatched it from her grasp immediately.

"What are you doing?" I whispered harshly but she just smiled at me.

"I'm your girlfriend, lovers should hold hands right?" Never in my life would I hold hands with her like lovers do. It's creeping me out.

"What did I say about rules?!" I said irritably.

"You didn't include any rules about not holding your hands" she argued frowning. I glared at her before putting my hands on my waist.

"Okay then Rule no. 4, don't touch me" I don't know what will I do if my friends saw me holding hands with a high-school girl, that would be a major problem.

"But—"

"Don't question me, I won't buy you anything if you talk back tome" I threatened her.

"Your scam business swept the money that I save and now I'm using my allowance for you, instead of pissing me off why don't you just say your thank you and shut up?" I added before I started to walk again but she ran to catch up with me.

She's a head turner. Men and women look at her with with envy and amazement whenever we passed by them. They have no idea that she's only a high-school student because she's taller than me.

I let her wear one of my clothes today, but I'm not going to wear that again. I hate to say it, but she's really beautiful.

"I should've not let her change her clothes" I mumbled to myself, now she's a rival.

How can I possibly have a boyfriend if she's catching all the attention of men? I sighed heavily because it's not her fault she was born more beautiful than me.

"Good morning ma'am" the clerk welcomed us, as soon as we entered the boutique that I chose. I smiled politely before facing Heaven.

"Choose" I commanded while pointing to the lady's section.

"How...how many can I choose?" she asked excitedly.

"Pairs for two weeks" I simply said.

'That's too much, your allowance will—"

"My allowance are from my parents and believe me it cost two months of your pairs of clothes" I said arrogantly. She didn't respond, she just kept on looking at me intently.

"Can you just choose and stop questioning me? Rule no. 5, don't question me" I said before sitting on the couch cozily. I started browsing the magazine afterwards when I got bored.

I'm engrossed on browsing the magazine when I saw a handsome man entered the boutique, he's wearing a designer white shirt that emphasized his chest and brown chinos. His hair was quite long and his eyes are mesmerizing.

He's my ideal man! I fixed my hair and straightened my sit.

I'm observing him while pretending to still read the magazine, he's looking for a coat. I don't know how long I am looking at him but I flinched when his eyes averted on mine, my face blushed suddenly. I covered my face with the magazine immediately.

"Excuse me" I heard a man's voice after a while. I removed the magazine from my face and was surprised to see him standing in front of me.

"Uh...me?" I asked while pointing to myself. He smiled, flashing his perfect white teeth.

"Yes, uhm can you do me a favor?" he asked gently.

Sure anything for you! I replied while giggling mentally.

"What is it?" I replied smiling as well.

"Can you help me choose what color of tie I should buy to match this?" he said while pointing to the gray coat that he's holding.

"What are your options?" I asked shyly. This is the moment that I've been waiting for, he's definitely my type.

"Red, Black and Maroon" he replied scratching his head. I frowned because his gesture was familiar, I feel like I saw it before.

"Which do you prefer?" he added.

"I think you should buy the gray one as well, the one with the parallel design" I said while pointing to the gray neck tie.

"I think you're right, thank you" he said politely before he returned to the neck tie section. I felt sad because I want to talk to him more.

I smiled when he came back after taking the tie.

"By the way I'm David" he said before extending his right hand, I stood up immediately and reached for it.

"I'm Mischa" His hands are soft.

"Mischa, that's a very beautiful name. It suits you" he said while still holding my hand.

"Thank you I—" I'm interrupted when Heaven called me.

"Mischa look at these clothes that I chose!" I immediately released David's hand and went to check Heaven.

"What?!" I asked between gritting my teeth in annoyance.

"I'm finished" she replied smiling while lifting the clothes that she chose. She's a big nuisance.

I turned around to look for David, but to my dismay, he's already gone. I groaned in so much disappointment before giving Heaven a death glare. I called the clerk afterwards.

"Have you seen the handsome man that I was talking to a while ago?" I asked while scanning the whole area.

"Ah yes ma'am, he said he will come back and buy the tie later" she replied politely.

"It's your fault!" I said accusingly to Heaven while pointing my finger to her face.

"Huh? What did I do?" she asked confused.

"I was talking to my future boyfriend, and you interrupted us!"

"I didn't notice that you're talking to someone, wait what? Future boyfriend?" Her eyes wide in disbelief.

"You're my girlfrie—-" I covered her mouth with my hands immediately to stop her from talking.

"Shut up!" I whispered then released her mouth afterwards when she nodded. I averted my attention to the confused clerk and smiled at her.

"Where's the counter? I'll pay now"

"This way ma'am" She replied politely before leading me to the counter. I glared at Heaven one more time.

I'll kill you when we got home!
