I found you

Chapter I

Skylar Jones POV

I waited for the elevator to get to the first floor, nothing. That's when I noticed the sign:

"Dear person, the elevator isn't working correctly, we promise it will be taken care of, thank you"

Okay, so going up 9 floors by stairs. That was the sixth thing that transformed my day into a horrible one, including the dancing gorilla that almost killed me.

When I finally arrived to my floor and opened the door, I found my clean and tidy apartment. Oh wait, no, it wasn't. My dog Toby had been playing with mud on the balcony and there was proof of it all over the sofas, my bed was super untidy, the kitchen was a mess of dirty dishes and there was a lot of trash because the trash collector 2.0 didn't come the day before.

So instead of starting to clean, I preferred to get my phone and text Brooklyn Woods, my best friend.

Hey, do u want to give me a hand? There's a bit of a mess here and I can't deal with it alone!!

Brooke was a really sweet girl with great personality. She liked long hair and her eyes were brown, light brown. Her skin was a bit paler than mine and she was taller than me too.

When she didn't answer my text right away, I sent her another

There are chocolate chip cookies in the fridge...

Brooke absolutely loved chocolate chip cookies, especially the ones I made at home. She texted me right away

Ok, I'm coming. The cookies are MINE

Yep, that's my bestie

I sat on my sofa for 20 minutes watching TV. Where was Brooke when you needed her? Finally, I decided to start cleaning the outside of my apartment. Now, when I said my day was going badly, I was exaggerating a little tiny bit. It got ten times worse when I saw Mrs. Johnson, my old and absolutely crazy neighbor.

-Hello dear, how are you? How is the monkey doing? When are you introducing me to your suitor?

-Hi Mrs. J, I'm fine, and for the tenth time, it's not a monkey! It.Is.A.Dog. Also, I don't have a boyfriend, that was probably my best friend. She is a female. Not a man.

-I am so sorry dear but I'm afraid I didn't bring my hearing aides. Have fun with your monkey pet!

She didn't exactly have the eyes of an eagle and I didn't expect her to, but seriously? Monkey pet? Get some glasses woman. I mean, we haven't seen one in ages. I heard that before 2018, there were lots and even a million more species. Now, there are only cats and dogs, maybe even parrots. For more exotic animals? That's more complicated.

The start of any year was always difficult, but the start of 2065 was normal, too normal. School was easy, weird. I didn't receive any calls from the government, even weirder. I should have been enjoying this. Instead, my cellphone started to ring. It was Brooke.

-Brooke? Brooke hurry up girl! Where are you? You know that if you don't come right now, I'm eating the cookies.

-Come quick, 3rd avenue, no questions. Please Skylar, please

She sounded terrified, and with that last word she seemed that she was about to cry. She was in danger. My bestie, Brooklyn Woods.
