chapter 3

Before Jen opens the letter she decides to turn on her cell phone and open her trusted application ‘the spinning wheel’, this is a powerful tool that helps her decide in things that she finds difficult to. She added in the choices, yes or no. Therefore, her finger pressed on the button ‘SPIN’ with her finger.

This is making Jen feel nervous, can she really trust her spinning wheel application?

Jen has her eyes lock on the screen waiting for the wheel to stop. She is hoping that it is a ‘NO’

‘YOU CAN DO THIS JEN!’ she encourages herself.

The wheel is spinning from YES, NO, YES NO. YES, NO--

**TING**

The sound of wheel application that stops

It the point landed on the ‘YES’ word

YES?! Jen shouted in her room, she could not hold back of the sudden betrayal of her application because of that, she drops her phone accidentally. Glad that it landed on her comfy bed.

‘OMG!’ She says softly without realizing that she is shaking.

Can she really handle the consequences after reading the letter?

She feels like she is going to regret it and starting to doubt her actions.

She opens the letter.

She gasps, on what is inside

“HI PEST! I JUST WANTED TO SAY YOU STILL HAVE TIME TO THINK AND RELAX BUT IF I WERE YOU, I WOULD NOT TAKE TIME TO RELAX AND CHILL! DON’T WORRY THAT FACE OF YOURS SUITS WITH RED AND I LOVE RED!”

P.S I love my penmanship in a red marker, hope you like it too.

She jumps suddenly from her bed and stands near the door. Jen is shaking and sweating from reading the letter.

She knew it! She knew she could not handle this.

‘What the hell? Why am I in this situation? I do not understand.’ Jen says while holding back her tears.

She scans on the paper from left to right, back, and front. Hoping to find a clue. She has no idea who is sending her the letter and what that person means by red?

Is it something bloody? Why cannot Jen find peace wherever she goes.

Jen feels like she wants to walk out of her own life and take back her decisions.

**CREAK**

Jen is startled from the sudden sound of the door opening and finds herself staring at those clear blue eyes in front of her.

“Hey! Why are you standing near the door? Why do you look like you have seen a fucking ghost? Can’t you see that I’m prettier here?” A girl said in annoyance to Jen.

The one enters the room is none other than Jen’s roommate Stacie.

“What the hell is her timing!” I said in a whisper-like voice.

Stacie raises her right brow, giving Jen a curious face. Then she ignores Jen.

Jen starting to have an idea that Stacie might know something about this, and it is not bad an idea to ask her, Jen is troubled whether she will ask Stacie or not.

She cannot rely on her application she already lost her trust in it after what did just happen.

“Stacie.” Says Jen

Stacie takes off her 3-inch heels and her head looks at Jen after she heard from Jen’s mouth.

“Oh? So you can talk." Stacie replied with a smirk on her face.

Stacie throws herself in her bed.

“Stacie, umm did someone happened to be in my locker fist before you?” Jen asks curiously. Hoping to have some answers she needs.

“Why would you like to know?” Stacie replied while narrowing her eyes to Jen.

“Nothing really,” Jen said while caressing her left arm softly.

She walks to her bed and sits.

“Nothing, huh? What is with that letter? Is that letter from someone who is interested in you?” Stacie said teasing Jen, wanting to see Jen’s reaction.

She sits in her bed facing me and added “–or someone’s in trouble?” Jen is astonished; Stacie gives her a smirk and lays back to her bed again while humming happily to herself.

Stacie is acting all highness, she feels like she wins from Jen after seeing her surprised face.

Jen turn around without saying anything to Stacie. She decides to tear the paper into tiny pieces that it will be difficult to tape it back and throw it on her trash bin. Jen did not know that Stacie’s eyes are on her.

Subconsciously say Jen “I really hate pranks”, she gasped at her own words, she already said it, and she cannot take it back. She sighs heavily and shrugs.

Jen wants to cry but she cannot, he cannot let Stacie see her in that state, She has to act strong because SHE HAS TO!

She lay in her bed, and then pulls her blanket covering up to her chest. She wants to sleep without a care Stacie though Jen can still hear movement from Stacie’s side Jen does not care what she is doing and would not dare to look at her.

‘JEN YOU HAVE TO BE STRONG!’ she reminds herself and closes her eyes.

Stacie is wondering what is up to Jen, she is acting differently from what Stacie observed. Jen was so brave to voice out her thoughts in the school earlier, but right now, she looks like a glass that is about to break into pieces anytime soon.

‘What’s up with the letter?’ Stacie asks herself.

Stacie heard Jen earlier she hated pranks.

She turns around and sees Jen’s sleeping face and smirk ‘what a scardie cat, too bad the world does not go along on what she wants it to be.’

Stacie is curious about it, but shit, she cannot put that letter into one piece after torn into pieces.

“Tsk!” Stacie let a disappointed expression escape from her mouth to herself.

‘Hmm, should I dip in the sauce?’

‘Should I tell the whole campus about Jen receiving a letter?’

Or should I set a prank on her?’

Stacie thinks this is getting interesting.

She knows Jen is forcing herself to sleep; looking at those blue eyes is like reading an open book for Stacie.

She smirks to herself.

Those thoughts keep running in her head until she falls asleep.
