CHAPTER 2: You again?
You are awoken by the heat of the sunlight warming your skin. Slowly, you open your eyes to adjust to the daylight. You stare up at the ceiling for about 5 minutes. It's Sunday. You glance at the alarm clock on the bedside table. It registers 6:40 am, you still have 50 minutes to prepare. You jumped from the blared of your phone.
You pick it up. "Hey. So early." you grumble. It's one of your routine every Sunday to go to church. And it's Chionne 's turn to pick you up. You alternate every Sunday who's picking up who.
"Yeah. What??? You just woke up? I'm on my way now." She exclaimed.
"It's barely 7:00. I still have plenty of minutes. Okay." you said and hung up. You get up off the bed and throw your clothes at the laundry basket. You run to the bathroom and took a quick shower.
As usual, Your doing your makeup routine.
You look at your reflection in the mirror admiring your light caramel brown hair, it's perfectly straight, that's why you always keep it long above your butt.
Then Chionne barge in to your room and stop walking as she gawk at you from head to toe. You gave her a look and your eyebrow raised. "What?" You snapped.
Her brow raised too, "Seriously? The sun is up and.." She asked pointing at the dress you're wearing. "Zee, you look more like you're going to a funeral!"
You look down at your outfit. Seriously, you don't see anything wrong. Hmm.. Black top, black jeans, black cardigan, black pumps.
Weird.
"Oh. I'm all black."
"Oh. No, no. Obviously, you're not! You just love black." Her lips twitched up as she look at you from head to toe again. "You just have a panda eye, you're wearing all black and.. everything is black in a sunny weather!" She chortled. You glare at her.
Sigh.
You remove your clothes and wore a light flare dress.
After dressing up again you grab your phone and your sling bag. "Happy now? Let's go!" You exclaimed.

"Hey.. who's that?" Chionne asks as you were walking outside the church.
"Nothing." You said, looking down at your phone. She craned over your left shoulder to peek. You cover up your phone with your hand and gave her a look. "I'm not texting and it's none of your business."
She raised her eyebrow and crossed her arms as you stop walking. "Then explain," She stood in front of you looking at your phone then at you again. "Why do you have a picture of me?" Before you could speak she interrupted you, "Whoa-" Her eyes narrowed. "No. Way! Don't tell me it's.. a stolen picture! I'm gonna break your neck!" She growled.
Oh well, she saw it then. You took a stolen picture of her a while ago. A proof that she was sleeping at the church.
"Whoa! It is not!" You exclaim. She attempted to grab your phone but your keep it away by landing your right hand across your hips.
You froze. You think- You felt- your arm felt- your arm landed.. on something.. Your eyes got wider.
Then you heard someone growled from pain.
Is it..? Is it..? You gulped.
You feel your face turns beet red when Chionne gasps as she goggle. She's looking at someone behind you, then looked at you.

You turn around slowly to see who's behind you.
