"Hey Miss Taylor. Where are you? I see you did some cooking." He talked to me. This guy is surely out of comprehension? Or just trying to annoy me. Of course I am cooking, what would we eat? Duh.

"I'm at the kitchen floor you monster. Lol. It's a little smoky here cause the exhaust fan is losing its' brain." I told him about my little problem. He came in the room and said,

"Mind if I see? I think it's a small problem that I can handle." I gave him my cue and he fixed the fan. I want any explanation but I think it's not needed.

I look at my time and it's already 7PM. That's when we decided to look at the small things we could cater at the mean time. I see he brought his laptop with him, while I look at this feature articles our fellow members passed.

1st article talks about a dessert called "halo-halo" and correlated it with the friendship she has with her friends. I find it a little interesting but also a little fantasy why? How could she possible have the same characteristics of her friends of the same ingredient of the dessert. Or maybe she just has friends that fit for the dessert ingredient. This would do. A little rephrasing would surely improve it to be more.

I was moving for the next article to read and approve when the sound of my alarm notified.

"OPEN" and there came out of the elevator my oh so considered officemates.

"Hello Rockwell! Sh*t Tay, you own this whole place?" she beamed the minute she entered the room. I smiled at her, apparently, I just nodded at her as a reply.

"Well, for starters, here's my boyfriend, Justin Bieber." She grabbed the arm of her boyfriend to show me.

"Justin Bieber. Nice to meet you classmate." He held out his hand for a hand shake which I courtly held to. We shake hands and "Nice to meet you too. Okay, everyone, dinner is ready, let's do the introductions at the dining table where we discuss a few things?" I told all of them and they gave light noises such as "yes", "I'm starving, traffic takes forever". Dinner went well, Selena and Justin did the volunteering to wash the dishes. We headed to the office where we could fully concentrate and do our work.

We had specific places inside the office, where Cara was in charge of the rephrasing and reediting of the piece. Harry was the person who was in charge with the layout and polishing of the whole paper. What I did was to pick the pieces that were worthy to be placed on the paper to give to Cara. As for the lovebirds, they were in charge to do the first drop, like they read the pieces of everything and then they give me the pieces worthy to be read again which was my job. All diversity of the pieces are being read and read again.

"Hey Tay, I was wondering if you would take a look at this note. I saw this on your locker. It was hanged." Cara suddenly handed me this small note with a yarn on the middle.

"Where could this come from?" I asked her back all she did was look at me and shrugged. I looked at my seatmate, Harry, which look a little intriguing. "What's the problem Mister Styles?" I told him. "Nothing Miss Taylor. It's just this layout, I can't figure it out." I didn't mind him, instead I just gave him a small smile. I looked at the note.

"MEET ME TOMORROW. 11AM STARBUCKS."

I think I shouldn't fall for this kind of trap. Maybe it's just someone planting a prank on me.

"You should go Miss Taylor, besides, there are things we need to buy for the school paper." Harry told me. Why did he push through this matter? But for the name of the school paper I'm going to the mall and buy the things needed.

The re editing went through, the wanted quota was reached. Until 9PM, we called it a day. We had 3 days free and we had the time all to ourselves.

"Hey guys, before we head off to sleep, our head said that we had the remaining days free, so we don't have to attend classes for the rest of the week guaranteed that we finish the whole paper." Harry announced the facts that we have and since it was my turn to say something, "Cara, you'll be staying at the second floor 2nd door on the right. That's a room for you and our lovebirds. Don't worry the room contains 2 beds, so Selena and Justin could occupy one and the other one for you and Harry. No malice okay?" they all nodded at once. I smiled at them. "If you ever need help, I'll be there downstairs 1st door on the right behind the stairs, that's my room. It's open. Goodnight."

I went down to fix my things and went directly to sleep.

3:30 AM

I feel it. I know someone is beside me. I open my eyes and I see him. Harry. He was sleeping beside me. I poked him to feel and see if I wasn't dreaming. He moved when I poked him.

"Hey Miss Taylor, I couldn't sleep upstairs, the lovebirds were to busy to make out and Cara is such a naughty sleeper. Can I please stay here?" he begged. "It's okay Mister Styles feel free to sleep beside me." He smiled and kissed my cheek. I feel my cheek blush. "Sleep tight Tay." That was one night that I felt good.
