you had only transferred to St. Dominics a semester ago, but during that short amount of time not only had you been able to swiftly knock out a few student council members, you caught Kira’s attention, not in a good way, I mean.. is it ever?

Kira hated you, she absolutely despised you because of how smart you were. The fact that you were able to out gamble Mary, Suki, and Dori really pissed her off. You never cheated like the rest of them did.

by the time summer came, so did the Bet Gala, which was a party held for the student council members, which had been the same people for a while, except this time you’re there, even though according to kira you shouldn’t be.

while at the party, Kira’s dad Arkadi approaches you, offering for you to come stay with them at their Russian retreat so you could ‘help kira learn’ to be better at gambling and be more mature, the anger and embarrassment on Kira’s face was almost comical.

so here you are, three weeks later after a long, long flight to Russia, you finally arrive at the massive mansion-like house that belongs to the Timurov’s

butlers quickly take your bags inside to a guest bedroom, and you are met by Arkadi, holding Kira’s wrist as he forces her to come see you

“You made it. This will be so good for Kira. She needs to learn much from you, maturity, as an example” he spits at kira, his Russian accent highlighting his words

“Well, kira, go show her to her room. And be polite for our guest.” he says shortly after, letting go of her wrist as Kira forces a polite smile, just for show for her father of course.
