[indent]Ximena didn’t understand it, but then again, she didn’t understand a lot of things that entertained the mindless masses of Palm Beach. The radiant queen had tried her best to sully herself and her reputation to equate that of the attendants of her newly transferred high school. However, it seemed like she just wasn’t destined to fit…. except of course letting Santiago find the right fit for that one night. Besides that, one night changing incident for the two of them nothing else seemed to strike her fancy. Then, of course, the homecoming event that she had planned to go to, only to pull out last minute due to her unscrupulous pairing. It wouldn’t be soon enough for XiXi to get away from what’s his name? The tall really weird kid that had a bad habit of vanishing when you needed him most. With nothing tethering her to the school and no minions to amass a larger following, it seemed like the highness was losing traction at her school.
 
Something so troubling as that would leave anyone in tatters, but Ximena was the definition of poise and grace. If there was one thing she knew how to do, it was conquering even if it meant being feared rather than loved or respected. It was just the price she had to pay and a price she would pay in full. So, while the puppets played in their little masquerade with their fake kings and queens, the real Baroness was scheming on something all more important. They could have their time in the limelight, but XiXi knew she needed two to tango and who better to call than her lost long better half. XiXi ran her finger through her contacts before finding her golden ticket. A smile creased over her face while the phone touched her delicate ear. The sound of ringing buzzing in her ear until the opposite line picked up.
 
[color=#C8353D]“Hello? It’s me bitch. What are you doing?”[/color]

[color=B67281] “Sleeping, Jesus, qúe hora es?” [/color] A groan sounded over the phone followed by some muffled curses and shuffling before the voice sounded again, [color=B67281] “Ximena, you realize I just got back, right? After 48 hours of like no sleep, and from a country 13 hours ahead of us, do you know what [b] exhaustion[/b] feels like? [abbr=My Queen, do you hate me?] Mia regina, Por qúe me odias?"[/abbr][/color]

XiXi looked at the time realizing that LA was three hours behind the east coast. [color=#C8353D]“Oops, gonorrea I forget that you’re ahead of me. Pero like wake up necesito que hablar contigo”[/color] Ximena said trying to decipher the hieroglyphics Yessi was trying to speak in. [color=#C8353D]“Listen nena, I think it’s cool and all that you hung out with all your little chinitas, but I’m gonna fly over to your place okay? Love you bitchhh”[/color] Ximena said making a loud audible kissing sound before hanging up. After her call was over Ximena called and arranged for her next private jet out back to dreary Florida, the state where the headline [color=#C8353D]“Florida man threatens to kill neighbors with a bat named kindness”[/color] is just another day in the office. Ximena stole the beauty rest Yessi couldn’t get and soaked in it on the flight over.
 
Finally touching down and having been chauffeured to Yessi’s house, she was finally ready to see her sister of a different mister. Ximena rang the doorbell gleefully waiting for her blonde bitch to open the door. 

There was no way in hell the sleep-deprived Astraia was ready to function in society, much less deal with hurricane Ximena, so the second her best friend ended the call she was back to a night of blissful sleep, that sadly was cut [b]about[/b] 16 hours early. 

The combination of Aurelio’s bitching in the hallway and the incessant sound of the doorbell was enough to drag her out of the dreamland she had entered only a mere eight hours earlier. A dramatic huff of resignation to her fate had her flinging the comforter off her body, feet sliding into slippers and stomping down the stairs. 

[color=E69600]” Oh fantastic, I thought you were dead, whoever that is out there has been ringing the fucking bell for [i]ever[/i]. Jesus, I forgot how annoying Americans are.”[/color]
[color=B67281] “Reli, it’s Ximena, you could have, you know, just let her in?”[/color]
[color=E69600] “[b]That’s[/b]  Ximena? Fuck she got [b]hot[/b].”[/color]

Only a roll of her green eyes was given as Yessi pulled open the door and in the same moment dragged her friend inside, and shutting it promptly behind her. Once the two of them were safely in the privacy of the Astor house Yessi threw her arms around the smiling, and [i]slightly irritated[/i] bombshell, hugging her tightly, [color=B67281] “I’ve missed you so much, Meme!”[/color]

What felt like centuries of standing outside finally came to a climax as the door cracked open, the light shining from the other side almost blinded the Colombian Princess. In all actuality, it was just Ximena being caught off guard and pulled inside by a death grip that did it fit the busty petite girl on the other side. The door closed behind them and as the girl collected her bearings she was smothered in a warm embrace. 

This was the kind of warmth and feeling she had been longing all those weeks trapped in Palm Beach. Her freshly manicured nails enveloped Yessi in an equally ecstatic and affectionate hug. The bond the two had formed since they were children was unbreakable. [color=#C8353D]“Ay Yeye, I know!”[/color] She said snapping her neck to the side as if she had no spine at all. [color=#C8353D]“But look at you hermosa! Korea has been good to you.”[/color] Hyping up her friend as she grabbed her hand and spun her around. 

XiXi noticed Aurelio awkwardly standing to the side, [color=#C8353D]“Don’t just stand there, say hi to me” [/color] Ximena said extending her hand out waiting for him to kiss the ring like so many other boys did before him. 

Aurelio gazed at the two princesses' lesbian-esque reunion with a tinge of jealousy flickering in those consuming brown eyes of his. Astraia and Ximena had been friends for god knows how long, Aurelio could remember all the trouble those two got the three of them in and how much fun they had. [i] Though that latter fact would only remain in his thoughts, he’d never vocalize how appreciative he was of these two thots.[/i] 

Rolling his eyes at the more annoying of the pair, he enveloped the meticulously manicured hand Xixi extended to him and tugged her towards him. Aurelio wrapped his muscular arms around the curvaceous body of the active succubus and placed a kiss to the top of her head. [color=E69600] [i][b]This[/b] is home. [/i][/color] The thought came in as if he was trying to force himself to believe it and involuntarily squeezed Ximena in his arms for a moment, before releasing her and stepping back. 

What was with this family and tugging her like a family rag doll. Her body was wrapped in another hug, this time much more muscular and heavenly scented. Aurelio certainly had changed since the devious duo used to bully him despite the age difference. A sudden wet warmth could be felt planted on her forehead, it was all so much to process. Luckily for her, these were the only people allowed to see her as shooketh as this. 

She tucked a loose piece of hair behind her ear before clearing her throat, [color=#C8353D]“Well it’s nice to see you too Rel.”[/color] 

[color=E69600] “Well, we head back to King’s in two weeks, and there’s a LOT for you to grill her about.” [/color] He feigned a whisper towards Ximena [color=E69600] “Ask her about the married man that got us ki-“[/color] Laughing he barely dodged the open palm coming straight for his mouth and smoothly grabbed his keys off the key chain.

And with that, the tension in the room came undone as her eyebrows cocked and her tongue slid through her pearly white teeth. 

[color=B67281] “Reli! Stop bringing that shit up!”[/color] Yessi yelled out after her retreating twin, [color=B67281] “Stay on the DL out there, please”[/color] A raised thumb was all the response she got as the garage door closed and the rev of his motorcycle roared through the door. With a roll of her eyes the Spanish princess turned her attention back to her [b]other[/b], other half, [color=B67281] “Okay, shit, there’s so much to tell you, let me start from the beginning.”[/color]

[color=#C8353D]“Oh? Yeye you know it’s rude to make a girl wait”[/color] she said waiting patiently for the bombshell to blab.

Ximena finally woke up to what was still the porcelain bathtub she remembered sitting on before, well before you know being knocked out cold by her not-so-bestfriend anymore? XiXi didn’t know anymore and she really couldn’t think about much with her head in the condition it was in. There were bells ringing in her cranium that just wouldn’t go away. It was like waking up with a hangover from hell, but without the fun to preface it and only the regret to live with. Sitting up from the tub as if she had just gotten drugged and a kidney removed, the groggy Colombiana daintily touched her face feeling for pain. She went from no pain around her cheeks to wincing in pain when she touched the skin around her eye. 

[color=#C8353D][i]“Puta!”[/i][/color] she cursed almost ready to burst into tears from frustration, she had ruined lives before but never her own. With no account of time, Ximena knew she had to move unless she wanted Yessi to come back and deliver round 2. Struggling to make her way to the sink she gazed into the mirror only to find a rather large discolored area around the right side of her face. No amount of concealer could hide the hues of purple and blue on her soft caramel skin. Carefully opening the door, she peered her head out so see if the coast was clear. Seeing no in the area Ximena sprinted for her phone and then to the front door. [color=#C8353D][i]Gracias a dios[/i][/color] her car was still in one piece. 

Fleeing the scene of the crime Ximena went back home defeated and stuck wondering what she could do and how she could fix this. She had time to heal and also time to scheme…something no one should leave her idle with.

It was her first day back to King’s Academy in who knows how long, ironically it only took a few sugar-coated words for the super intendant to let the beauty queen back into this little herd of high schoolers. Her bruises gone and her smile just as mischievous as ever, Ximena was ready to play the game of thrones. That wasn’t without the queen of mean being fashionably late as always. Strolling into the gymnasium, she was just in time for the climax of the lecture on what she caught to be about the dangers of sex and drugs. Homecoming must have been one hell of an event, one she sadly missed out on thanks to a certain tall dark and disgusting.  While she waited on the side of the bleachers phone in hand, Ximena surfaced social media keeping tabs on all the saucy news she missed. 

Next was scanning the audience since she wasn’t in sight. She must have missed Santiago since he was no where to be seen. However, the familiar face of Yessi struck a chill up her spine and a pain in her cheek. Taking cover back behind the bleachers, she waited for the lecture to be over and hovered in the back of the crowd as most of the herd headed to the cafeteria. That’s when she caught the sight of Aurelio. 

[color=#C8353D]“Oh, thank god just who I needed to see"[/color] she said in relief. Even if he was now surrounded by some of her potential frenemies she needed to talk to him. In her best diplomatic fashion, she walked up to the small crowd surrounding the table. 

[color=#C8353D]“While it’s all very nice to see you all here again in such short notice, I need to borrow Aurelio for a bit. Of course, if that’s okay with the rest of you. I’ll have him back to you in a jiffy”[/color] she said smiling with all gums and teeth.
