Kate sat up to attention, stiffening as if electrocuted.
She turned to find a super model staring at her. And she did look like 'a supermodel' not a person with a specific face that matched a super model. But a face that made Kate think of every supermodel ever. Sharp long nose? Absolutely, so much so it was like someone had glued a scale ruler to her face. That nose was so sharp it looked like it had its own shadow, despite the warm morning light.
Her brows were wide, not bushy or a mono-brow but make-up gave them the feel of insane thickness. And those lips should not have been there. Faces like hers had thin lips like someone had kicked a hole in a bag of sand. Hers were a soft pale puffy pink that made Kate dream of ripe fruit.
All of it together was tilted and eyeing down with a pouty sexy severity.
If anyone took a photo at that moment. Kate, even with Sakura's intervention, would have looked like trash in comparison.
Miss Potato head was the exact name that etched itself to Kate's mind like graffiti. A super model version.
"Yes." Kate said, feeling too rich to be coy. "I am she, whoever you believe 'the girl' to be."
Miss Potato head's brow rose dramatically. In Kate's defence, she was definitely bigger than her, maybe even by a full head. A potato head…
There was a chance she was still a drunk.
A moment passed with them still bludgeoning each other with their eyes, not that Kate was trying to do anything. And was the woman about to say anything?
It was all so weird because she'd still had yet to say a thing. Then she looked up and her face changed. A soft voice growling caught both their attention.
It was, of course, Sakura, who stood next to a woman who held a tray that was a collection of metal rings with multiple items inside.
"Sakura, this the one?"Asked Miss Potato head.
Sakura gave a yip of a bark.
"I still won't listen to you." Kate said simply.
"I figured I'd test you. Kaitlyn, Genevieve, Gen, Kate. Kaitlyn, Madison, Maddy, Kate." Sakura said pointing to the different new girl, her hand bouncing between Kate, Ms Potato head and the waitress with the tray.
So Miss Potato head was Gen. huh. Kate hadn't expected that. Which meant the other girl was Maddy, why was she finding that out? It was oddly honourable, especially from a money bags girl like Sakura.
"She is the time-share girl. We get her first." Sakura said.
Kate didn't really know what to think about that. All the girls took a seat waiter too, eyeing each other before all eyes sunk in on Sakura.
"Are we going to test her?" Asked Gen.
"Already have." Sakura said. "I think Kate over here might be a crook or a politician."
"But you repeat yourself." Said Maddy dismissively.
Maddy was somehow also stunning, like genuinely gorgeous, she was what someone thought of as a super model before they actually saw and under stood what a super model was. And her voice was surprisingly deep, not manly but goodness was there bass there. It was beyond sultry, it was savoury.
"I am not a politician or a crook." Kate said, defensive and called out.
What could Sakura have guessed in the night while they were alone? Oh god, Kate been talking in her sleep, and why was that community business? Clearly the only person not paying attention was Kate.
"Not gonna fight." Sakura said with a shrug that clearly meant she didn't believe a word Kate had said.
"But I'm not though." Was the best Kate could form.
"Okay, but we're both." Maddy said in that deep voice.
"What?"
"Yes. You see, that is our way. Our Zenith, we call it the Zenith of War." Said Gen, who leaned in so hard she had her elbows on the table.
