I sat back, smoking, and watched them whisper, finding it amusing. They might as well have used a loudspeaker; it wasn't like I couldn't hear them.
After scolding them, Lea turned back to me.
"Keira, I don't care if you've lost your memory or swapped bodies or whatever. You still owe me money, and you're going to pay up."
I smirked and stood up, cigarette dangling from my lips, and kicked her hard in the knee. She wasn't expecting it and dropped to her knees with a thud.
I lightly slapped her face a few times, taunting her, "A good daughter should kneel when asking her mommy for money."
She was furious and tried to stand up, but I kicked her in the chest, sending her staggering back.
"Manners, everyone should have them. What kind of daughter hits her mother?"
Lea, the tough girl, suddenly looked pitiful. Then, a stylish woman appeared at the door, unlocking it with a click.
"Keira, are you bullying Lea again? Do you want me to call your parents?"
I looked at the woman at the door, confused. What was she talking about?
"Are you blind? She's the one bullying me," I pointed to Lea on the floor.
Then I looked around. Okay, it did look like I was the one bullying her.
