*Are you coming?*

I texted my friend as I wandered my eyes here in the gloomy street. The light from the lamppost just here in my side was starting to flutter; I could no longer take the tranquility and plugged my earbuds on. Pressing the music into a shuffle, I inwardly sighed.

Taylor Swift's old song played. And somehow, it calmed my racing mind for a bit. I was about to put back my phone on my jacket's pocket when it vibrated.

*it's traffic Here. i'm craving cheesE'. Soon. Will you waIt for my Text later? Hehe. i'll be there, My friEnd.*

Damn. It's now 2020 and yet this friend of mine still couldn't move on with her typings.

*You idiot. It's getting cold. Mom will beat me up once she have found out I'm not in my room. Can you tell the driver to go faster?*

I received a reply immediately.

*Lalaine,,, just wait. okEy? Am really hungry Vor cheesE. sit NOW and wait.*

I rolled my eyes, annoyed. She was always been bossy and was a spoiled brat. I just want to get my diary back and this will be over. A little more patience, Lalaine.

*HEy,,,, i think i really Love Pancakes.*

*I thought you're craving for cheese? Hey, what's with the sudden change of topic? Just move faster before my mom caught me!*

*i'll CALL u later. what time now? is it 9:11?*

*You really are an idiot. It's already 11 PM. Are you near?*

My hands were now sweaty and my mind was flitting with thoughts. I will be surely grounded for sneaking out and meeting my friend who's still stocked in a danged traffic.

*GOofy,,, Really hUh, Nitwit.*

I came to this conclusion that maybe, she's just making fun of me. I turned off my phone in annoyance and bit my lip. Perhaps, I should go back. I could just approach her tomorrow for my diary. She's a trusted friend even though she's aggravating sometimes.

I threw myself on my warm bed and curled up to sleep. Tomorrow, I will surely received a text from her, saying it's just a prank. I drifted off to sleep without further ado.

But, I wasn't expecting what my social media greeted me when I had woken up.

My friend was found dead exactly 11:03 last night, in the exact street where I had waited.

H-How...?
