"Can I take open my eyes yet?" I asked,

Acacia had instructed me to keep my eyes closed ever since I had finished moisturising my body, was surprised she even let me lotion myself.

"Almost, I just need to put these clips in your hair...and done, okay stand here and tell me how amazing I am."

I opened my eyes, the bright light was blinding, causing me to rapidly blink until my eyes finally adjusted.

"Wow...I look really pretty, maybe you are amazing." I was in awe, as in, that can't be me in the mirror.

"Okay rude I am amazing and yes you are extremely beautiful honey."

"Thank you Acacia, I love it,"

I hugged her tightly and she returned the favour,

"Always, no need to thank me, let me put a little lipgloss on your lips and some glitter under your eyes then I'll take you to Azia's,"

I nodded and sat down in front of the vanity while she did her magic on me.

"I'm nervous!" I screeched as Acacia stepped out her car,

"No backing out now, we're here now and petrol is expensive."

I looked at her as my fingers fiddled with my dress. She gestured for me to go and I reluctantly walked to the door and knocked.

"GO ELEENA GO," Acacia howled from behind her car. I shook my head and the door flew open.

"Oh hello," a small lady stood at the door and looked at me,

"Hi po tita, I'm Azia's friend, she's uh my tutor for this term," I said nervously,

"Ah ok, come in come in," she moved to the side and opened the door wider. I slipped off my shoes and placed it on beside the small plant vase that sat near the coat rack.

"Azia is upstairs, you can just go up to her room, it's the second door on the right." I thanked her and slowly ascended up the stairs.

A soft melody flowed through the air, it sounded so familiar. Then an angelic voice joined in, I felt drawn by the noise. The siren's voice pulled me in seductively, and I was its next prey. Standing frozen to the spot, her voice sounded so heavenly. This song? Good little girl, I remember watching it from adventure time and always wanting a longer version. And this...this was everything. I needed to hear more. I pressed my ear at the door trying to get a better listen but instead the door flew open and I landed face first into the carpet. The music abruptly stopped and a tall figure loomed over me.

"It's only been a few hours darling, missed me already?" Azia flashed her signature smirk and offered me a hand.

I took her hand and she helped me up.

"I was just here to return your hoodie," I pushed the hoodie into her arms and she looked at it.

"Thanks," Azia took the hoodie and hung it on a small clothing rack that occupied the corner.

"You have a really nice voice," I blurted out,

"Oh you think so?" She walked closer to me, stopping just a few steps away. I nodded slowly. Her warm hand gently held my chin up making me stare into her deep brown eyes.

"I'm glad you like it, but you have to keep it secret, no one needs to know about this cause it isn't their business."

"Okay." I said meekly,

"Good girl."

It's suddenly really hot in here, and it's definitely Azia.

"I uh, need help with the tutoring and the art project." I spat out,

"Oh yes, we can set up a timetable and start the project...now?"

"Now?"

"Yes now, unless you have anything going on right now." She paused and looked at me.

"Nope, let's start," I pulled out the sheet filled with sketches and notes on the theme.

"The theme is beautiful deception so I was thinking we should do an art piece around the black widow spider, beautiful but extremely deadly,"

"That's really cool, I like it," Azia praised and led me to her desk.

"I need you to promise me on this," she said in a serious manner,

"We both always get into disagreements but this time we really need to focus on this project and your tutoring,"

"What are you suggesting," I raised an eyebrow,
