I woke up pretty much earlier than anyone else because I was famished. I walked to the kitchen to heat up the chicken soup and though my eyes were still woozy from sleep, I managed to keep them open.
I was a bit alarmed when Emily sat on a table opposite mine and was staring at me in a odd way.
"You are awake. " I decided to break the uncomfortable ice between us.
"I couldn't sleep. " I heard Emily say.
"Why?" I asked.
"It's nothing. Just a bad dream. " Emily tilted her head to the side.
"Alright." I said and rose up slowly to pour the hot chicken soup into a ceramic bowl. I sauntered over to the table and immediately picked up my spoon, placing the hot soup into my mouth. I could feel her staring at me and somehow it sent something panicking within me.
"Why are you still looking at me?" I asked as I took another scoop.
