Ughhhhhh, did I seriously turn on an alarm? I reach for my phone to turn it off but the ringing doesn't stop. My eyes finally open and I look around the room, noticing Teddy turning off her alarm clock and getting up. "Teddy, when do your exams finish?" I ask stretching. "Today" she says with a groggy voice. Teddy was never the one to talk much but I actually like that, I get annoyed easily when someone talks too much.
Teddy ends up leaving the room and I'm left alone with my thoughts. I remember the creepy shadow yesterday when I looked outside. My stomach, on cue, decides to turn. I have this feeling that I will see it again. Last night I had a dream where I was taken by the creepy shadow, I woke up sweating and breathing heavily. I don't know what it was, but I know for a fact I wasn't seeing things. The shadow had a silhouette of a male figure. Tall and strong. I shiver runs down my spine as I think about it.
I check the time and see that it's 10:13am, I decide to get out of bed and start my day. I walked into the washroom, I started brushing my teeth, washing my face and showering, but I decided not to wash my hair because I washed it last night. I walk out of the washroom and now the hardest part, I have to figure out what I want to wear. I don't have school for a couple weeks now which is amazing, but what am I going to do during my time off?
I finally decided on wearing black high waisted tights, with a white cropped sweater and my white converse. I sit on the little couch I have in my dorm room and turn on the TV. There's never any good shows around this time, other than Chopped but that just makes me hungry. Speaking of food, I haven't made myself breakfast yet. I get up, turned the TV off and left the room, making my way to the cafeteria.
I walk inside the cafeteria and surprisingly it's not that packed. Usually its full but today it isn't which is good, I don't have to wait in line for long. I decided on having chocolate chip pancakes with water to drink. I sit alone at a table because its university and I'm not here to make friends. I want to graduate, and hope I don't see these people again for the rest of my life. I finish up my breakfast and make my way to my room again.
As soon as I step foot into my room, my phone starts to ring. I check caller ID and see that Olivia is calling me. ''Hey Liv." I say into the phone, while taking a seat on the couch again. "Hey Bella Bellz, what are you doing?" she asked in a kind tone making me smile. "I'm watching Chopped, what about you?" I ask her, taking a sip out of my iced tea, that I did in fact make myself, since I took a culinary course this semester. *Hair flip* Way to go conscious.
"I just finished my math exam, which I know I one hundred percent failed" she says making me frown. Olivia is majoring in Engineering, she knows shes bad at math but she always says how her parents force her to do this. "Olivia, why do you keep listening to your parents?" I say into the phone. "I can't do anything about it. I don't want to disappoint them" she says, a frown evident in her voice. "Olivia listen to me, if you continue with this you won't be happy. You'll be wasting money also since it's not something that you're passionate about." I say sympathetically. "I know" she says, rustling in the background. "Alright, whatever you think is right" I tell her, dropping my opinion. "Anyways, I called to tell you that you, Pam and I are going out for dinner tonight at 6:00pm." she says excitedly. "I'll be there" I reply and immediately start to think about what I should wear. "Alright, see you then" she says, we bid our goodbyes and hang up the phone.
From: Pam
Yo Ara, today me you and Olives are going out okay?
To: Pam
Yeah I know she called me telling me
I personally don't care about grammar on text, I don't know why other people do. I just type how I wan't to type.
From: Pam
Good. We're going to that restaurant down the street I forgot what it was called
To: Pam
It's called Dennys Pam
From: Pam
Oh, right, yeah, that, okay, see, you, there
I just didn't bother to reply to that. She added way to many commas and they were not needed at all. I got off the couch and made myself a sandwich in our mini kitchen. My sandwich had, turkey, cheese, tomato's, lettuce and chips on the side. I sit on the couch and take a bite out of my sandwich, a movie playing in the background. I continue eating my sandwich, when I hear my phone go off.
From: Unkown
...
That's weird. I pick up my phone and block the number. I hate getting unkown calls or texts, I always wonder how they end up getting my number out of all the people in the world. I finish my sandwich and wash the plate. I decided to put more chips on the plate because why not? Chips are life.
It's 5:15pm right now, so I decided to get up and get ready for the dinner. I decided on wearing black jeans with a nice blouse, and my nude heels. I started on my makeup and made some finishing touches as well. I put my hair into a bun, grabbed my purse and left the room. I really wish I had a car but I live on residence and there's not really a place to park. I walk outside and a chill runs down my spine due to the wind blowing in my direction. I continue walking and observe my surroundings.
I see couples everywhere which brings a scowl to my face.
I make my way into the restaurant and start to search for Pam and Olivia.
I spot Olivia and I make my way to her. "My, oh my, who's this beauty?" I say while walking up to her. Her cheeks redden, she smiles and says, "Hey Bella Bellz". She gets out of her chair and gives me a tight hug. We take a seat and a couple minutes later Pam shows up as well, greeting us with a smile and a hug. We order our food which resulted in chicken fingers, fries and garlic bread. Perfect combination if you ask me.
UNKNOWN POV
I'm sitting all alone in this restaurant that has the best tasting food. I decided to take a break from searching for my sister. Day by day, I start to lose hope, losing hope in finding my sister. But I know Gemma, I know she's strong and she's still alive somewhere. I will find her and I will hurt the person who ever did this to her. "Arabella stop! Tears are coming out of my eyes" I hear a girl beside me say, while laughing and wiping her tears away. I turn my head and see three young girls having dinner and enjoying each others company.
Arabella. Arabella. Arabella.
The way that name rolls off of my tongue and into the world. Such a beautiful name for a beautiful girl. My pupils start to dilate. I grab my stuff, pay for my bill and run out of the restaurant with one thought in my mind.
Arabella.
