" You ate too much sugar, I bet you can't sleep tonight," Emery said,
" Sleeping late is not new to me. Makes me remember my good old college days," I replied.
" Come on let's go home, I'll drive you there as usual," Emery said,
" Oof, I didn't realize that it was this late. I really enjoyed being in this place," I replied.
We went back home, went inside our own apartments, and settled down. And a result, I can't sleep. I also drank some soft drinks and a bit of candy. I really have nothing to do, so I thought of preparing tomorrow's lunch and that I'll just reheat tomorrow.
--While Shane was cooking--
" What is that girl doing in this late hour? Is something wrong? Does she need help?" Emery thought, he got out of his room and used his extra card to get into Shane's apartment.
" Hey, I-"
The sweet aroma of cooked rice and grilled toast was in the air.
" You scared me! At least knock, I've been telling you this like ever since I got here!" I said,
" I was just worried since I heard some noise," Emery replied.
" Well there's nothing wrong in here, I'm perfectly fine!" Shane said, Emery then glanced at my cooked meals,
" Are you not going to become fat with having all those midnight snacks?" Emery asked.
" These aren't midnight snacks dummy, these are lunches for tomorrow since I have nothing to do and I can't sleep, might as well prepare for tomorrow," I said,
" Umm, you have gotten the days of the weeks wrong. Today is a Friday, so there's no work tomorrow-" Emery replied.
" .... "
" Then... this is going to become a midnight snack then?" I chuckled,
" I'll eat it, I'm not helping you though. I'm just a little angry that's all," Emery replied.
I then grabbed the grilled toast and sat on the couch and turned on the television.
" There's nothing interesting to watch," I uttered,
" Wait, let me grab my USB-" Emery replied.
He then returned and plugged his USB into the television, there were lots of movies I have not watched, there is even this movie that hasn't been premiered yet. As expected, of course, he would able to get hands-on with this movie, this guy has connections.
" Why don't we watch that movie," I said while pointing at the movie's name,
" You mean ' The Lost Book'?" Emery replied.
" Yeah, this seems interesting," I said,
" This is a horror movie, don't regret it," Emery replied while turning the movie on.
We were already 20 minutes into the movie, it seems chilly tonight. I should get some apple juice. Though the couch is not that far from the kitchen, I have to run fast.
" I'm going to get some apple juice, you want some?" I said nervously,
" Sure" Emery replied, I then ran to the kitchen shaking while opening the refrigerator door.
" Nothing is behind me, nothing is behind me," I thought, it took a long for me to get the apple juice since it still was inside its package. I then felt a person's presence behind me,
" That person is just your shadow, just your shadow," I thought. When she was almost done-
" Boop-"
" IYAA!" I screamed, she then covered her mouth. It was Emery all along,
" Why are you here?!" I asked trying to get myself together,
" You took so long, so I came to check up on you," Emery replied
" Ah here's your juice and let's return to the movie then-" I said while handing him the box of apple juice.
" She's scared, hmmph. Let's see what fun will happen," Emery thought.
