Phone beeps .
Another beep.
Followed by another beep.

I groaned as I rolled off my bed to reached for my phone. Not to check. But to put off that disturbing beep. Next time, I'll make sure to put it on "Do not disturb" mode , I thought to myself.

16:00
I wake up after a good sleep and took a shower. I just finished a novel in one sitting. That explains why I was sleeping like a dead log in the evening. I need to recharge myself to work on my college assignment later in the evening.

As I was sitting in the dining room , munching the leftover food from the fridge I opened my phone to checked the 111 messages from a new group .

Single's Inferno

What a weird group name.

John added you.

I left the messages opened and unread and dialed John's number.

"Hey, why am I added in a group full of strangers?"

" Good evening. I thought it'd be fun. And   maybe you'll find your valentine's there .."

"No thanks. I'll leave the group "

"Hey, give it a go. Just for 24 hours...and if it don't like the people there you're free to leave. Kay?"

"Ughh okay...bye"

I finished my late evening lunch and was doing dishes when Mum returned from grocery.

"Hey, Mum. Did you get me anything?"
" Go upstairs. I'll prepare you a fresh pineapple juice. You'll love it "
"Thanks,Mum"

I went upstairs and make my bed before I plopped down unto my chair facing the window.

300+ messages. Woah..
I was tagged in few messages. I opened those messages and read only the one's where I got tagged. They were asking me introduce myself as they already did. I introduced myself there, find a common topic and joined the conversation . It turned from minutes to hour and I had all forgotten about my assignments until my Mum called for dinner. I swear I'm not touching my phone after dinner untill I'm done with my work.

The next day began with few goodmorning texts from the new group. Did I keep my promise of not touching my phone last night? Well, promise are meant to be broken and so did I. I ended up chatting with them till 1 AM.

Meeting new people was indeed fun.

It's been a week since the new group was  created and we have become  quite acquainted with each other. Nothing unusual happened in the group. I have save  all their contacts.
We decided to meet up , all 6 of us for a coffee the coming Sunday.

And I agree.
