You stretched out your arms above you as you lay flat on your bed, a sigh leaving your lips. Your eyes then gently fluttered open, and you had to squint them when you realized that you had forgotten to turn off your lamp last night. Groaning, you lifted an arm to lazily turn it off, wincing when you accidentally hit your joint on the edge of your bedside table. 'Way to start your day, [Name]..'

After a moment of recollecting yourself, you sat up, rubbing your eyes as to rid of the tiredness in them. 'What time is it..?'

You reach for your phone that were carelessly lying somewhere on your soft mattress, relieved when you saw that it's still early. It's quite difficult when you're trying to desperately fix your sleeping schedule, for the sake of the upcoming school and you as a freshman.

You got up groggily, immediately fixing your themed bed. You've had your schedule empty today, prompting a very well-deserved free time for you to just laze around. Which is mainly going to be spent playing with your newest obsession; Twisted Wonderland, maybe check some available merchandise of said game as well, via internet.

You then felt a vibration from your phone, indicating a notification. Wasting no time, you turned it on once more, and were met by a contact name all too familiar to you.

❝ Cris <3 ❞
[Name]? Good morning.

You unlocked your device and went to the messaging app, instantly sending your reply: Hello Cris, what's up?

❝ Cris <3 ❞
I need to tell you something.
do you still remember the 'P.A.W. Animal Shelter'?

You quirked a brow, finding it unusual for the girl to mention something about a month strictly before now.

❝ Cris <3 ❞
mother went to get her adoption paper for Gryphon, then I saw your name in one of the list, claiming a total of four rabbits.

'What?' Your eyes widened in disbelief. Now you knew your friend; Crisanta Desrosiers, would never pull a silly little prank on you, she's way too serious in her life and had no time to make jokes. But you definitely are not losing your memory or sanity either. Never had you gone to that place ever since being there once, or even spare it a glance. Your parents will probably disown you if you even let a stray in your apartment.

Without further ado, you left her on read after realizing that she's gone offline after bidding you goodbye. You tucked your phone away and stared on the wall of your decent sized room, unable to grasp ahold of the sudden and odd news.

'I think I'm going to die soon..'

Shaking the ridiculously exaggerated thought, you went to your closet, and delve in for a nice pair of clothes, before sauntering towards the bathroom to don them on yourself and change from your nightwear.

Your apartment is anything but lavishly huge, but it was fitting enough for a teenager like you to reside in with not much of a problem. Your parents had the bills covered, however; you would rather not risk anything, especially to live with another living thing. Why are you even considering it right now? You've never planned adopting pets! You're not even at the right age yet!

Sighing, you ran a hand on your forehead, contemplating whatnots. Your supposed to be a day of rest is going to be wasted on worrying, and you hate it. You could barely even get a blink of sleep at night.

Without reluctance, you thought of a way to deal with your unorganized thoughts; perhaps a stroll outside? a visit to the nearby convenient store you would usually go to? both options seem nice, they were efficient when you wanted to unwind yourself from pressure.

With that, a final hum emitted from you. You snatched your cardigan, as well as purse from your closet, then your phone from your bed, and went to exit your apartment.
