REMEMBER [ON HOLD]

3. OUT OF IT

This is some sort of filler so yeah~ don't expect much? But! This chapter has a significance to the story so ha! As much as I want to write the next chapter, I don't feel like it's ready yet. Still thinking about the flow of the story since I've been bombarded by new ideas by my own brain, and the internet. So sorry about the inconsistency of my thoughts. I posted this so I could at least have an update and prove a point to someone -coughs- that I'm serious about this. This chapter is dedicated to JSedrano, the first one who posted a comment together with Darryl Ben Llado who doesn't have an account and is reading from his sister's account.

8:15 Listen to him.

I stared at my phone's screen for who knows how long when it lit up again revealing Alice's caller I.D.p 

"Hey!" She immediately spoke up when I accepted her call. "Where are you? It has been 20 minutes already. What? Your ass stuck on your toilet seat?" She snickered.

I rolled my eyes. "Oh ha-ha, very funny. But listen, I don't know if I can go now."

"What?! Why?!" her tone was frantic.

"Woah, chill! I just felt lazy all of a sudden and I can make it up to you by buying you ice cream tomorrow." I cooed.

I had the urge to listen to what James said to me, to not go, and I don't know why. Was it coincidental that I had an alarm, that I don't remember setting, for the exact time he finished telling me not to go, to listen to him?

Today's been a weird day, I'll just wait it out until tomorrow for everything to clear up. I'm sure it's nothing.

"Tomorrow, huh." Alice muttered.

"Yep, I-"

"How about I go there instead?" She interrupted.

"What? I thought you wanted to play your game?"

"Yeah but, I'm starting to get bored. You know? Playing the same game over and over again? Knowing how it ends? and then-" She continued talking but I zoned out, thinking.

"-so yeah! I want to go there Jenny." She whined.

"Huh? Oh sorry, no Alice, I really want to sleep now; no offense meant but you can be a blabbering git sometimes." I snickered.

"But Jenny-"

"Welp, gotta go now. Enjoy your game! See you tomorrow!" I cut her off and ended the call.

I feel bad about shrugging her off but I'm out of sorts today. I promise, tomorrow I'll be more Jenny like.

"Did she say that she's playing the same game? I thought she just bought it today?" I was walking toward the mini mart that was near my apartment (Need to buy some uh,stuff. I don't even know why I'm explaining this) while replaying our phone conversation inside my head. I kept berating myself too. I swear I'm not myself today; I'm thinking too much, which is weird.

I was in front of the mini mart now. I opened the glass door and went inside. I have to go buy some things for tomorrow, some cup noodles maybe (I'm out of those) or something I could freeze and then throw inside the microwave tomorrow morning.

I was in front of the beverage section when I noticed two girls approaching the snack section behind me.

"So-" The girl with the cute bear hoodie trailed. "Did you watch it?"

"Watched what?" The other girl, the one wearing this cool army sweater asked.

"That Endless Eight episode Gin has been talking about."

"Oh that, nope. Not yet anyway." She grabbed a chip bag and the one with the hoodie went and grabbed some too.

"I read about it in the internet. It's an episode of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, or should I say episodes? 8 episodes aired with the same content, the cast being stuck on Groundhog day. The time loop went on for 15,000 times until Kyon, one of the characters, figured a way to break out of it. It was because of Haruhi, due to her being god who can unwittingly bend reality to her will, her wish came true and the result was that the entire cast was stuck in that time loop." Hoodie girl paused. "It's quite interesting actually. What would you do J? If you were stuck in a time loop and was conscious about it?" She went on.

"They were conscious about it? They knew?" J asked.

"Well, no, I don't think so. I don't know. I didn't watch it, just read about it in reviews."

"Hmm, it is interesting Angel. What to do. Well, I'll most likely make every loop an exciting day? Make it more different from the previous loop? Like killing my neighbor in one of the loops? or two?" J snickered.

Angel chuckled at J's joke (well, I hope it was a joke.) "Yeah well, in my case, I'll most likely laze around, as long as it's occurring or should I say reoccurring on a Saturday, Sunday, or a Holiday." They started walking to the counter, their conversation still going on, merry as ever.

"Hmm, I would most likely splurge on something expensive, knowing I could get my money back in the morning." I snickered at my own thoughts.

I grabbed some cup noodles and some microwavables? That's what I like to call them anyway. And headed for the counter to pay for them. I was waiting in line when I felt this gentle yet uncomfortable pricking sensation on my neck, that feeling you get when you feel like someone's watching you.

I looked round the mini mart, not finding anyone suspicious until my eyes landed on a bundled up figure standing in front of the candy bar section. There's just something familiar with the person.

The person turned towards me and quickly looked away.

Okay I'm a bit creeped out now, it would be okay if he had looked at me and said.

"Oh Jenny! Didn't see you!"

But it's as if he didn't want to be caught?

I walked towards him, leaving the line.

"James?" I called out.
