"Isn't that quite obvious?" Tiana said with a smug smile as she spread out her arms, "It's because I am the 'queen', Tiana Snow. I don't go after boys. They should be the ones lining up for me and be honored to even receive a glance from me."
Sayana felt confused and said, "But all these years, I have seen countless boys trying to woo you, but you were either ignoring or playing them around. Even the most popular boys, including the seniors, let down their puffy egos to ask you out."
Tiana stroked her chin, "Hmm, that's exactly why. Just because they are popular and have many fangirls behind them, they come up to me and ask with an arrogant smile if I am going to go out with them as if it's set in stone that I am going to agree. Hmph, in their dreams. They have no idea who's the real boss."
"Besides, I find boys my age too immature. All they care about is keeping up appearances, and apparently, my family name is like a priceless designer bag they want to carry around to make themselves look good. So, of course, I keep trying them out to see who is the best. At least I have the power to do that."
Her expression then became feverish as she continued, "I need someone who doesn't exactly follow the world's rules...someone who could make me feel dangerous...someone who could make me feel as if we were living without any tomorrow...someone who could truly make my heart skip a beat."
Sayana felt like facepalming hearing her fantasies and said in a chiding tone, "Didn't I tell you not to read those stupid vampire books. What was its name again? Ah, yes...the Nightfall Saga or something, right? You are just getting wrong ideas from it. Reality is not like that, and men like those don't even exist. And even if they did, you should be running for your life instead of trying to have a romance."
Sayana knew that not only Tiana but many girls had been reading the recently popular 'The Nightfall Saga,' but she couldn't understand why so many girls were so gaga over the male vampire lead.
She felt that normal and down-to-earth men were better, but then again, she felt that each had their own tastes.
Still, seeing how Tiana was having wild fantasies caused her to worry, wondering if she might get beguiled by any bad guy.
Tiana wrinkled her nose and said in a huff, "Gee, you are a bore, Saya. How could you hate such a perfect character? If he truly existed in reality, I would gladly fall for him. Imagine him sucking my blood, oooh, it feels so hot just by thinking about it."
Sayana felt embarrassed hearing her going on and on with a foolish smile.
In fact, she felt as if she was feeling a funny feeling on her neck hearing her talk.
Feeling that she might get corrupted as well, Sayana hurriedly said, "Okay, you keep on dreaming. I am going to go and read some books."
Tiana let out a snort seeing Sayana leaving the room while she continued to lie on the bed as she went back to her dream world.
Sayana's room was just opposite Tiana's room, and after entering her room, Sayana felt like reading her new favorite novel after feeling the mood to read because of Tiana's babble.
She took out a book titled, 'A Dangerous Innocent Love: Story Of An Unpopular Girl', written by the 'Virgin Flower Prince'.
The book was quite thick and big, and Sayana initially wasn't interested in this book seeing how the word 'dangerous' was in the title, which made her feel that it must be something involving bad boys type of love.
Even the author's pen name made her feel as if some weirdo might have written it.
But then, seeing the words 'innocent' and 'unpopular,' she felt as if she could connect with those words and decided to at least read the first chapter before dropping it.
This book was only released a week ago, and she was able to buy it a few days back and heard mixed reviews from young girls of her age, many dropping after reading the initial chapters without even bothering to read the end.
Still, she decided to give it a try and didn't want to trust only the reviews.
And when she did, she couldn't merely stop at chapter one and went on reading before she even realized it.
The setting of the story was an introverted girl entering college life for the first time, and so for the time being, she was hooked, feeling that the girl in the story was quite similar to her.
Meanwhile, Viktor and Umi had come up the stairs and proceeded towards his room since Umi said that she had some instructions to convey to manage some things in his room.
As soon as Umi entered his room, Viktor closed the door and locked it, the sound of the door locking startling Umi.
He asked with a smile, his specs still on, "So what did you want to teach me...Aunt Umi?"
Umi curled her toes, feeling embarrassed, and said, "Master, please..you don't have to...no one else is here."
Viktor replied in a confused tone, "Aunt Umi, I don't understand what you are saying. I am Aunt Taya's nephew, and you are her good friend or more like family. How could I disrespect someone older than me?"
Seeing Viktor still pretending to be 'Dorian', Umi could only smile helplessly and took a small remote on the table, trying to distract her chaotic thoughts.
"I will now teach you how to use these windows, turn on lights and everything using just this remote," Umi said as she showed the remote to Viktor.
"Oh, that's amazing," Viktor said as he curiously took the remote from her hand and saw many buttons on it.
"So these three buttons or three modes are for the windows. The first one will make the window transparent from both sides, letting you see what's outside and also let outsiders see your room as well. The second will make the window transparent only for you while people on the outside won't be able to see your room. The third will completely shut down the window or a function similar to pulling up the blinds. These windows are known as 'Smart windows' due to these functions unlike our traditional windows," Umi explained.
"Wow, the world really is moving fast, huh. This is amazing. Now I can enjoy the view outside and 'switch off' the windows whenever I want."
Umi nodded with a smile and said, "The other buttons are also connected to various things in the room, like the AC, lights, TV, and the minibar. You can even open the door with the press of a button in case somebody comes knocking and it's inconvenient for you to get up from your chair or bed."
"Whew, I wonder if this room is also 'smart'...I guess everything is 'smart' here, huh, just like my Aunt Umi," Viktor said as he threw the remote on the bed and hugged Umi's waist, taking her by surprise.
