"..."

Erin open her eyes.

Erin is surprised having an average normal sleep.

"..."

Erin still feel something is off.

Erin is oddly quiet. She usually isn't quiet when she woke up. She usually starts singing when she wake up, and dance her way to the bathroom.

But...

"..."

She is just staring at the ceiling for a long time while still laying on top of her bed.

Staring blankly to the blank white ceiling.

"...sigh..."

Erin let out a small sigh, and then starts to get up from her bed to get ready.

"..Wilson...."

When Erin is still getting ready, Erin suddenly remember if she just screamed in front of Mr. Wilson's face yesterday.

"...tch.."

But Erin doesn't feel bad, instead she feel more irritated.

Erin already can feel if today won't be a good day. Or even an average normal day...

Erin go downstairs with her school bag. Erin is greeted by Madame Diana's face.

"Good morning, Miss Erin."

Erin study Madame Diana's face, and she can tell if she is nervous.

"..Morning."

Erin walk towards the dining table, and look what is for breakfast.

It's a pancake. It has a maple syrup drizzle on top, and a little slice of butter on top. Just like how Erin would like it.

Erin stare at the plate of pancake for a moment.

"I-Is something wrong, Miss Erin?"

Madame Diana look at Erin worriedly.

Erin look up to Madame Diana's face, and Erin can feel if Madame Diana is worried and scared by what Erin will say.

Erin look down to the pancake again, and starts to eat the it.

Erin can hear a soft sigh that comes out from Madame Diana's mouth.

Erin has finished the pancake.

Erin stands up and grab her bag.

Erin look up towards Madame Diana's face, and Madame Diana make a surprised look.

"..Fetch someone else to drive me. I don't want Him to drive me anymore."

Madame Diana has a shocked look on her face, and she froze on the spot.

"...Do you hear me?"

Madame Diana stumble a little bit, and then respond with a nervous tone.

"Y-Yes, Miss Erin. Right away."

Madame Diana hurriedly walk away from the dining room.

Erin is still standing in the dining room.

"...."

Erin walk out from the dining room.

Erin is sitting in the living room, waiting for a news from Madame Diana.

Erin is playing with her phone.

She hasn't check her phone in a long time.

Erin login into the ChAt app.

There's only a chat log from Mom, Dad, Diana, and...

"...Wilson..."

Erin want to delete her chat log with Wilson, but..

"...There might be some clues."

Erin open her chat log with Wilson, and starts to read the chat from top to bottom.

*July 10 XXXX*

"Hello, Miss Erin. What time do you want me to pick you up?"

"I think around 6 PM"

"Sure thing, Miss Erin."

"Oh! And when Mom and Dad will come home?"

"I think they won't be home until late.. Sorry."

"It's okay, I understand.. And It's not your fault, Mr. Wilson! Don't apologize!"

"Okay, Miss Erin."

"I will see you soon with Li-

*RRRRIIIINNNGGG*

Suddenly Erin feel a very loud ringing, and something hurting her head, like something stab it.

"Agh! Darn it!"

Erin almost drop her phone.

Erin endure the pain, and it seems like she is used to the pain now.

Erin look at the part she left off...

"..Lily?"

The moment she speak that word suddenly she feel there's something is stabbing her head again, and again.

The pain is really big, and Erin wants to scream, but she endure it.

Suddenly-

"Miss Erin, Mr. Frederic is already waiting for you."

Erin look over at Madame Diana, and put her phone away.

Erin stands up, and starts to walk towards the door that leads outside.

"(..maybe I can get my mood better when meeting two of my best friends...)"
