TCBU Chapter 10
ROSE's POV
"So what makes you bring here Ms Not-helen?" Janis asked me. We were walking towards our dormitory, about half a kilometre away from the University.
"Did you just called me Miss NOT-HELEN? You know Helen?!" My loud voice echoed all around the sleepy city. I felt like everyone exists in Island will come here and kill me for talking so loud and behaving loud. Madam Giselle has done the first part of the killing and all the people will take of the rest part of killing me.
"Yes, Helen was my childhood best friend. We used to play, roam around here in this Island. We used to play 'The Grim Reaper' every time we met."
"The Grim Reaper Game?"
"Yeah, an indoor either outdoor game, where you defend yourself from the grim reaper taking your soul. If the grim reaper catches you by the neck then you lost the game." Janis said.
"That day…you said you were the grim reaper. That means you thought me as…" I felt a heavy itch in my heart.
"Yes, I thought that you were Helen Vivian, But Plot twist! It was you! Rose Torres! Cousin of Helen" Janis elbowed me and her emotion swiftly changed, she was very happy so sudden.
And I sensed a dense emotion of guiltiness and regrets in me.
"Senior Janis, I am really sorry from my heart for the inappropriate behaviour I have showed towards you." I lowered my eyes, I don't have the courage to look into her eyes and apologize.
"No-no what are you doing, Rose? You don't have to apologize to me. Even though I should have entered that night in the house like a normal person, it is my fault in the first place. I thought that Helen has come here, I never had the idea that you were her cousin not her, and I am really sorry for freaking you out like that." Her expression also stated guiltiness and regrets. Likewise what she said was true too. Then the truth is, we both are at fault.
"Janis," I stopped walking, faced to Janis and hold her shoulders, "I forgive you,"
Her expression was somewhat confused.
"As I forgive you, you have to forgive me in return. If you don't forgive me then I will beg for it." I grabbed both hands of Janis.
"Okay, I forgive you." Janis smiled at me, seeing her smile made me feel joyful.
"What about a coffee tomorrow?" I asked her.
"Sure," My lips a curved into a small smile after hearing that.

I got inside my dorm, everything was dark, but thanks to my night visional eyes, I can see everything clearly.
Jessica was already asleep, she was snoring, must have to enjoy in her dreams. She was sleeping on the bunk bed. My bed was under hers.
A perfect dorm for 4 people, but it is said that one of the roommates went to a tour as she is our senior, her name…I think it was Zoey Something…and the 4th roommate hasn't even showed up herself, yet booked a dorm. And now I and Jessica living in this dorm. I wonder how it will be to live with the others.
I checked my phone, to set the alarm, as there's a meet up with Janis in the 8 of the morning. DARN…It's 2 am.

"You seemed tired. Did you sleep well?" Janis asked for the second time we have got here in the Lost café. And why wouldn't she, I don't think the amount of yawns I had from the very first of the morning isn't comparable to the amount of breathes I have inhaled and exhaled last few hours.
"Nah, last night I had insomnia, which left my eyes rest probably at 5 am," I replied as yawned, again.
"Ooh, that's sad." The waiter served us two plates filled with three Breakfast burritos each plate, and two coffees in paper cups.
"Here have some coffee, you'll feel fresh." Janis handed over a coffee cup.
"Thankies," I grabbed the coffee cup and took a sip. My body shivered in goosebumps. GOD This Is WHAT I NEEDED!
In no sec I gained so much energy!
"Wak! Thuu!!!" She literally choked her coffee. All the brown stains of the coffee spread on the white tiled floor.
"Who is the Barista?!!" Janis stood up with the help of the table, her fist clenched and it slammed on the table, making everyone's soul in the café white and quiet. Even though I didn't get anything, my heart stopped beating out of worriedness.
"WHO IS THE DAMN BARISTA?!!!" Janis shouted and glared at the manager, who was doing something at that moment, hearing Janis' shouts he was also a statue.
"T-there…." He pointed out to the kitchens door, like a scaredy-cat. In a flash, Janis marched towards the kitchen.
I didn't know what to do, so I also went to the kitchen to stop Janis.
When I opened the door, I saw Janis holding the collar of the Barista, I think. And the barista's hands were up in the air, like he surrendered himself to her. Quite amusing part is, he was smirking and was straight looking at Janis' eyes. With his blue eyes and curly honey blonde hair, he can be called as a classic handsome man, But not as handsome as that Angel. Wait, what? From where did that Angel Sam's face came from? I should focus on the current confusing matter right now.
"Janis!! What are you doing? Leave the barista!" I yelled at her. But Janis didn't response. Looks like that she and the barista are lost in each other.
"JANIS?!!!" I again shouted. But didn't have a reply from her.
I think Janis' collar holding and that man's surrendering pose are going to last forever. I have to do something.
Gosh, what on earth is happening here?! I can't understand a bit. UGHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
