THE CHESS GAME (Completed)

EXTRA CHAPTER 1: CHANGE IS CONSTANT

TODAY IS another day. I am not exactly sure that everything will now change after what just Lori confessed to me last night. I am not sure whether she was just tripping again or not. But there is something inside me tells that everything she said was true. I could feel the sincerity of her voice last night. I hope so.

"Rosy, buy me face cleanser in the mini-park, will you? And also, just include shampoo." Gina commanded Rosy soon as she goes out from her bedroom. Her towel was slung over her shoulder.

We were all almost done but she still seemed to just wake up, tsk. Her hair was in a mess and she was yawning. It is already 8 in the morning and our training will start at 9 am.

Rosy was about to stand up but I immediately stopped her. "No, Rosy... let her be the one to buy for her stuff," I said. Shock draws on her face. She hesitates if she will follow what I said, or follow Gina's otherwise.

"Hey, Jobella, what is this again? You never learned your lessons, have you? Go now, Rosy! What time is it now, we might be late!" Gina said putting her hands on her waist. Her unnatural thick eyebrow raised. Tsk.

For the second time, I stopped Rosy. "No, Rosy. Sit down."

Rosy seemed confused about what and who she would follow. I even saw her scratching her head while her forehead creased. She even adjusted her eyeglasses.

"Just let her, Jobs. This might cause trouble again." Mami V whispered to me. It is obvious in her voice that she was concerned.

I just gave her an assuring look.

"What are you doing, Rosy? Faster! Didn't you all aware that you should follow us---?"

She stopped to what she was about to say because a particular door suddenly opened and Lori came out. She seemed like she was already ready for our training---basing on her posture. She wore a sleeveless shirt with black leggings, and her hair had also been tied up, exposing her bangs.

"What's going on here?" Lori said calmly as she closed the door.

"Queen, I just asked Rosy a favor if she could buy me something but Jobella opposed again!" Gina complained to her while pointing her forefinger at me.

Lori shot a quick sideward glance at me and afterward, it shifted to Gina. "Why? What is that something that you wanted Rosy to buy?" she asked.

I just remain silent, waiting for what will happen next. My fingers were crossed. Basing on her aura at this moment, she's back again with being the Lori I have known.

"Face cleanser and shampoo. I am now going to take a bath. They may be the reason why we will be late!" Gina muttered like a child which made my brows raised. The audacity. Tsk.

"So it's your personal use, right?" Lori asked her with folded arms.

"Yes...?" Gina seems unsure of her answer. Confusion was already visible in her face because of the tone of Lori's voice right now.

"Then you should be the one to buy your stuff. As you said, it is yours. Right?" Lori muttered with a little laugh. Sarcasm has also been heard from her voice which Gina's mouth gaped.

"What?! A-Are you---?"

Lori cut her words short. "Starting today, we should no longer order them just for our own interest. If we want something for ourselves, then we should be the one to do so." Lori said with authority which made me smile a bit. "Now go, buy your cleanser and shampoo."

Gina's mouth gaped open. "No way! What's wrong with you, Queen?" she asked, raising a voice.

"Just follow what I just said---"
