14 Some Ground Rules

"Rule Number 1, and the most important. That the East wing of the penthouse is off limits the boys. The penalty, expulsion of school grounds. The only exception is Kaden."

"Rule Number 2 the refrigerator in the kitchen was for general use. No one was to complain if they left food in that fridge and someone else ate it. If people want they could go by a personal fridge for their room."

Rule Number 3 everybody had to keep the public areas clean. Even though there were clean-bots. No big messes were to be left unclean. If a person was found creating a big mess that broke the bots they would have to pay for it."

"Rule Number 4, The penthouse belongs to both Jessica and Kaden the other dorms rent go instead to them. 75% discount still applies."

"Rule Number 5, n.o.body except Kaden is to call Jessica by her first name when they were outside the house. Jessica reputation as the Vice Dean is not to be questioned. Violators will be s.p.a.cedock."

A perk for living in the penthouse was they did not have to spend too much on food now. Ash, Hinata, and Jessica worked out a meal plan and told the boys that the big jar on the kitchen counter would be where they put the money for grocery and that everybody should put about a two hundred and fifty in it a month. That was more than enough money pooled to pay for the food.

The fridge was a huge double door refrigerator. As for cooking the kitchen had a service-bot that could cook anything that they desired as long as the ingredients were placed in the refrigerator. The technology that they had access to what hundreds of years more advanced then what was on earth.

The rules were much more relaxed then if they stayed in the dorm. Curfew was now out the window. They did not have to worry about the dorm leader checking in on them in the middle of the night.

The exception made for Kaden was justifiable. The east wing of the penthouse was where the master bedroom, two bedrooms, a shared full bathroom and the study. Everybody knew that if Kaden was denied access to the study he would cry like a little baby. He had already laid claim to that room the second he saw it.

So the girls would occupy the east wing and Kaden would have access to the study. The master bedroom was still up for debate on who owned it. But Jessica shattered everybody minds when she said it was both Kaden's and her room. That Hinata and Ash had the two-room adjacent to her's.

The boys could just pick out any room they wanted in the west wing. Eight room still were free for the picking on that side. The eight rooms were arguably smaller than the master bedroom and the two east side rooms. Even "Kaden Study" was bigger than those rooms.

The chaos of arguments was settled with Ash stating that even though the rooms on the west side were smaller they were still a lot bigger than the dorms rooms.

Kaden quickly said he could convert the study into his bedroom. He would feel more comfortable surround by books. He had a bad habit of sleeping in his family's private library.

The boys were left speechless yet again. What kind of family has a private library and one large enough to sleep in? Hinata had instant gratification at Kaden's decision. Ash just called him a weirdo and was glad it all worked out.

The matter of paying rent was a no brainer as they rather give funds they had to spend to their friend then the school. It was also logical as the place still had bills to be paid for. With the extra tenets, it made it so Kaden and Jessica could save his own money on boarding.

His friend actually felt sorry for them. Jessica monthly paycheck was the same pitiful amount Kaden received. Kaden could not help but wonder how their families thought.

Ash and the rest of the team had no complaints in the arrangements. In the end, they would be saving 225 credits a month on just food alone. That extra cash gave them plenty of money to spend on other nonschool related things.

Kaden himself would over six hundred credits left over a month because having the roommates. Jessica would have about the same but now that she was freed from the cost of not having to pay utilities or food she actually was now making more money than she got paid. 5,250 credits a month that she could just blow on what every she took fancy to.

Beelzebub was Jessica biggest expense as she bought the cat tons of food each month and toys, litter and other cat goods. But still, she would only spend about half her paychecks on him. She was saving her money so she could spend it on Kaden when they when out together.

As the heiress of the riches known family around she had a hard lesson these past three months she had lived on the station with her limited funds. The only saving grace was she was not one to just by things for herself. Jessica rather buys things for others. For herself, she needed very little.

The only one she knew well enough to spoil was Bee so she took to buying the cat things it really did not need. There was a room in the west wing label "Beelzebub Room, Do Not Enter". She even had a cat door installed for him. Jessica knew he hated transforming into a human. She preferred he did not do that as well. Cats were cute but a human Beelzebub looked like a creepy old man.

It was currently just Hinata Jessica and Ash in the living room sitting on the couch. The boys were long gone watching sports in the big screen room. Tom thought theater room sounded too formal so he changed it.

"Jess you think uncle can get us those new cell phones. Being surrounded by so much advanced technology and still using iPhone seems kind of I don't know Dumb." Ash said as she waved her cell phone about in her hand.

"I'll ask but if you asked him it might get done faster," Jessica said after thinking about it. Her ice cold act she put on when she was walking around the school ground was long ago shattered by her cousin's antics.

"No, I just used my once a month favor, If my mom finds out I bugged uncle about this and still asked for more she will kill me," Ash said as a s.h.i.+ver went down her spine.

"Ah ah, Auntie is the best after all, way better than my stingy dad. Did you know he is only paying me five thousand credits a month to be the Vice Dean of this school? Apparently, Bee gets paid in lunch vouchers." Jessica said with a smile.

"Haha, that mean cat getting the short end of the stick, haha," Kaden had walked in on time to hear about Beelezbub salary and could not help but start laughing at the cat's misfortune. He stopped laughing as he saw Jessica start to get upset.

"He super stingy with is wealth. I'm sure that fat cat's a lot wealthier than your family Jessica. That d.a.m.n baster rules an interplane of existence." Kaden explained. "I am curious why this penthouse caries my granddads name on it." He followed through with a question that been bugging him.

"Kaden do you remember what we promised that old man and mine when we were five," Jessica asks with a glint in her eyes. That look screamed to Kaden that he better remember. Hinata perked up as she heard Jessica bring up their childhood. (Formidable as I expect my rival to be,) Hinata thought as she eyed Kaden for his response.

"When we were five. Hmm, we spent three whole years together as grandpa lee took us around Asia. We promised both those old crooks a bunch of things." Kaden gave an answer he knew she did not want to hear.

"Hmm, You are sleeping in on couch till you can remember the promise," Jessica said as she stormed off to the master bedroom. Ash was laughing her a.s.s off whereas Hinata was turning red to Jessica implications.

"Why does she get to have the master bedroom when this place was bought by my granddad?"Kaden asked as Ash just continued to laugh.

Kaden knew the promise Jessica was talking about he just did not want to admit in front of Hinata who he felt had feelings for him and Ash who was sure to make fun of him for it. It also remembers the reason his grandmother left the old man. He had sold all the family a.s.sets to buy this place.

The reason he bought the place without telling his grandma anything was simple and had everything to do with the promise made between two five-year-old kids. "Everybody is so d.a.m.n Eccentric" Kaden could not help lament and wished he could meet somebody that was not just flat out weird.
