"Which part of lavender was so hard to understand? I said lavender, not roses, nor orchids - If he loves me, he could at least get me the flowers I wanted!" Veronika scuffed as she was explaining all that to a group of friends she was strolling with. A group of pretentious girls around her giggled, exchanging a couple of words in her support. She could feel they were faking it and rolling their eyes behind her back, but she enjoyed the attention, enjoyed being able to make them behave how she wanted them to.
It was another one of those evenings. Her fiancé would come over, shower her with gifts, while she would pretend to gracefully accept them in front of her parents only to order maids to trash them the moment her parents turned their back on her. At least the chocolates and flowers, she kept jewellery. It was pretty and she sometimes felt like it was the only valuable thing she’ll ever recieve. As she thought about it, her eyes wandered off to the dazzling diamond ring on her left hand. Engagement ring. Worth a fortune, but not fit for her skinny young hands. Although she could barely feel the ring on her finger, it made her hand heavy, as if the weight of her life was attached to it instead of a polished white diamond.
"...and the latest Chanel show was just so OMG, don't you agree, Veronica? Veronica?!"
One of the sheep following her unpleasantly snapped her out of her daydream.
"No, I think it was horrid." She could see the faces of girls around her fall grim. "Excuse me now, I must call my daddy to get me my limo. I've had enough of walking." She flicked back a strand of hair before sending the girls around her one last downgrading glace, as if they were to blame for her moodiness.
Scared of displeasing the 'princess', the herd of teens scurried on before Veronika even managed to dig her iPhone out of her overpriced purse. She halted for a moment; until she was sure the unpleasant clapping of high heels was nowhere to be heard and swung her finger across the screen, calling daddy in one swift motion. Listening to the buzzing tone, she noticed an odd sound... there was some mighty wind blowing around. Looking up, her eyes widened. She stood frozen in shock and awe at what she saw. The sky ripped and she could see another figure pulled in, before the powerful force sucked her up.
She didn't even manage to scream.
All that was left on the street was a brand new iPhone with 'Calling Daddy' blinking green.
