Warning: The whole case will be under Grace's narration via her diary. Enjoy at all!

I walked down to the hall where I met Nicole again. She started:

"Gracie! What's wrong with you?"

"Nothing. It's just I tried to identify the shadow who attempted to kill me."

"Are you hallucinating again?"

"No way I'm wrong!"

"Oh dear, you are still with that style!"

"Does it matter to you?" I angrily replied "I don't care if you think me being hallucinated. No I'm not, am I clear?!"

She paused for a bit, then I sighed:

"I'm sorry Nicole. I'm not kidding but I will find out more. Can you forgive me?"

She stared at me, she said softly:

"Of course! I don't mad at you at all!"

I smiled timidly. I pulled my coat closer to my chest. The weather looked colder than this morning. Before I could speak, she said:

"Hey, Kevin went home about 15 minutes ago. He invites both of us to visit his home. His parents go to a business trip urgently, so they can't spend holiday time with him. How about going to his home tonight?"

"I'd love to!" I replied "But what time?"

"About 7PM. Is that OK with you?"

"Maybe, I'll ask my parents first."

"Great. See you about 6PM. I'll come to your house and pick you up!"

"Agree!"

6PM, Grace's home, Beverly Hills, CA ... 

I still wore with the magenta wool sleeves, the jeans and the navy coat. I brushed my hair again as mom called:

"Gracie, come downstairs now. Nicole is waiting for you!"

"I'm coming!" 

I quickly grabbed my own pink and white carreaux scarf, then put on with my typical boots, came downstairs. Nicole was sitting in the sofa with my mom who was wearing with her ivory wool dress. Besides, Nicole put on with her clothes this morning but without makeup. She glanced at me and happily yelled:

"There you are Grace. Common let's go!"

I went with Nicole and mom called out:

"Be careful you two! Have fun!"

"Yes mom!" I replied

The snowflakes had stopped going down. The wind still blew with its greatest strength, caused my hair as well as Nicole's ones flowing in the air, and the land was heavily covering with snow again. We slowly walked, and finally, we stopped and looked at the scenery. It was a house carrying with beige painting in majority. The roof was made of the brick fulfilling with a mixture of grey and black same as the chimney. The house had 2 floors in total, each of them had at least two windows except the 1st floor which had only the entrance door made of wood. It had stairs to approach the door, when passing it, the big veranda was surrounding itself with flowers and trees lively in the coldest weather, same as the balcony on the 2nd floor but smaller. There was some lovely chairs which helped people to relax and to watch the garden in the backyard. Guess what? It was Kevin's house!

"Bae! It's me, Nicole! We had come!"

The door was unlocking and I glanced at Kevin. He still wore with blue pants and the brown sleeves. He said:
