Monica's POV
I told my friends about the Kiana situation and they understood. I asked Jason to drive me to the hospital, and he agreed. Being an insecure girlfriend, Katie decided to join us. "We'll be waiting here, emptying your fridge." Melody said chuckling. The 3 of us drove to the hospital continuing our horrible karaoke. We arrived in a few minutes time. "I won't be long." I said before going to Kiana's room. When I got in, she was sitting up, playing with her fingers, looking really nervous to tell me what's the matter. "You're here. Listen, I know you're real busy, but at leas take 10 minutes to hear me out." Kiana said slightly smiling. I stayed quiet to listen what she was saying. "Someone named Anonymous, called me." she said putting emphasis on the name. I knew it had to be the same Anonymous that talked to me. "Did she know you all your life?" I said unexpectedly. Why can't I just shut my mouth sometimes? Now she's gonna suspect something. "Ummm...I don't know. She didn't tell me anything like that. Why?" she replied confused. "Just thinking..." I lied. It hurt to know that my own best friend didn't trust me. It hurt to know that I had to lie.
"The name sounds familiar. I just don't remember where I've heard it." I continued. Kiana looked at me suspiciously and asked, "Wait....did she call you too?" Not wanting to let her feel weird, I gave her my phone to look at the calls. It was best to tell her the truth as it would be bitter when she found out later. "Oh, just one call. What did she ask or what did she say?" Kiana said. I was shocked. How did the calls just disappear? Well, I used a deleting trick I used from 'Cupid 101'. I replied," She just told me that you were gonna ask me something, and I didn't believe it until you actually did. Weird...." She nodded her head and replied, "It's like she's actually in the room with me. She knows my every move, my every thought. Oh my god. Monica! She's my stalker!!" Kiana started freaking out and I tried to calm her down but she was convinced there was someone out to kill her. I told Kiana that Jason and Katie were still waiting in the car and that I had to leave. As I went to the door, Kiana said, "Thanks for helping as much as you could..."
I smiled and ran to the car thinking about what those lovebirds could be doing while I was gone. "Stop making out it and let me in!!" I yelled knocking on the car window irritated. Jason opened the door rolling his eyes. "Couldn't you stay a little bit longer?" Katie said fixing her smudged lipstick, that was now on Jason's lips. "I'm sure you guys would've went further than that." I replied, squirming at the thought of it.We got back to the house to see the others eating my house down like termites. Donut boxes were on the floor, cups scattered on my couch, and they were still eating. "You know you guys are cleaning this up, right?" I said walking to my room. They all murmured and stayed on the couch. I sat onmy bed and stared at my mirror. As always, my reflection spoke to me.
Reflection: What a long day!
Me: And it's only half-way...
Reflection: That Anonymous person seems a little bit mysterious, doesn't she?
Me: She sounds familiar....but I can't put my finger on it....
Reflection: You got bad memory. Sucks to suck.
Me: Wait, you know something?!?! Tell me please!!!
Reflection: Your on your own, sister...oof.
Me: Oof, adios.
My own refelction knew what was going on, and I couldn't know anything. I didn't even know I could talk to myself until I was 15. I was just thinking....and my reflection said, "Hey" and I swore almost got a heart attack. I got used to these surprises, and in a few months, I turned to my mirror for advice. At least, when Kiana wasn't around. I lay on my bed, thinking about who Anonymous could be, and how were we related or connected. I just can't wait until I'm 18. I'll go to the Cupid Realm, and get over this magical stuff that people probably think is fake.
I then got a text from Anonymous.
Anonymous: Nice deleting skills. I didn't think someone actually used Cupid 101 anymore.
"She is obviously not a human if she knows about that book..." I mumbled to myself.
Me: It came in handy at least. Umm, how do I not know you?
Anonymous: Let's just put it as this. You didn't have good hearing before you were sent to Earth.
Me: Explains why I am deaf here...*rolls my eyes* Bye!
Now that I know I was born deaf -not literally people- and that know Anonymous is not from Earth. When I meet my parents, I will have a serious talk with them. I had to wait until February 14th to turn 18, and I still wanted to do a lot of things before I go to the clouds. I wanted every last thing off my bucket list, and next was ziplining. I don't have any wings and I've never been in a plane -awkward, I know- so, I don't know what it feels to be in the air. I would be going to Adrenaline Theme Park really soon and I was so excited that i had already packed. I would've went with Kiki, but you already know what happened. Looks like I'm gonna be alone.
I went back downstairs and was actually surprised to see the living room spotless. Melody smiled at me and mouthed, "I did all this." I acted ignorant and said sarcastically, "Oh my god, I can even see my face on the counter." All of them were sitting in the same position as before I left, so it was kinda obvious they didn't do crap. They all look at each other and Caleb says,"You know Melody did this, don't you?" I nodded and replied,"Yep, and that's why she's getting the Double Whip!" The others groaned miserably as I approached the kitchen chuckling.
The Double Whip is a giant cup of hot chocolate or coffee that has a whole lot of whipped cream and marshmallows on top. Not to brag but, they say I make the best coffee slash hot chocolate ever. "Can I have some Melody?" Jason pleaded. "Umm, you didn't help, so why should I? This is too good to share anyway." Melody replied smiling maliciously. Jason frowned as I topped the marshmallows. "Here you go Mel," I said giving her the cup," Thanks for cleaning." Not being able to ignore Jason's constant begging and whining, I made him a Double Whip too. Caleb woke up when he heard the whipped cream can and both him and Katie asked me to make some too. In the end, everyone got something. Pfft, they envy each other too much.
After drinking so much cocoa, chatting and watching TV, they all went home since it was getting late. I washed all the cups and read a new text:
Finally alone I can talk to you without any distractions. -Anonymous
I sat down in my sofa, and started our lovely conversation with our voices and not our fingers.
"Where were we?" she asked. I sighed and replied,"We were at the part where I ask you, why are you involving Kiana in your plan to destroy me?" She laughed in an evil manner, "Wait, why do you think I want to destroy you? I'm just doing a simple task assigned by my father." I was confused for a while and got my millions of questions ready. "What task? Are you like a goddess-girl or something?" She replied, "Some questions in life shouldn't be answered, don't you think?" Getting frustrated, I shouted," Yeah....but I'd like to know a little bit more." We talked and talked and talked until she yawned and said, "Maybe...I'll just meet up with you at the cafe tomorrow at 11. Ok?" And without me even responding, she hung up. "Sure....see you there...if you even come." I mumbled.
I put down my phone and decided to go to sleep because our converation last until midnight. I had a really active day ahead of me, and I needed to get enough rest to take the pressure. Through everything that happened, I didn't even remember about my case. Being a cupid is harder than I thought. I made myself some warm milk and that made me drowsy. By 1 am, I was fast asleep.
*****
BEEP. BEEP. BEEP. BEEP.
I really needed to get myself a different laptop because this one sounded like a bomb about to explode. I stretched and looked at the time. It was 9:00 am. Don't question my alarm clock. I went to the bathroom to take a bath and moisturize ma beautiful face. I made myself some a banana-strawberry smoothie and toast, because I put myself on a 'No Cereal' diet. I then went to my room to find something to wear. When most girls overreact about ot having anything to wear, that was actually MY problem. I have this huge closet, but I barely wear any of the clothes in it. "Why not something lovey-dovey today..." my reflection said. "Heh, good idea." I replied. I decided to wear a black top with a heart in the center, and black ripped jeans. I wore red checkered Vans and my outfit was topped off with a red headband over my brunette hair.
It was a while before it was time to meet, and I didn't have anything to do but wait patiently.
