When Arielle opened her eyes, she was standing in front of a book shop.

"Where the hell am I? How did I reach here?" She frowned at the unknown surroundings.

"I was inside my room, I was writing the new chap and then I fell asleep." She tried to recollect, she noticed that she was still in her sweatpants and the jumper she wore last night. "Where the heck is this place? How did I even reach here?" She looked around her surroundings.

She turned around to see a portal inside which her room was visible.

"Wait that's my room... What the hell's going on?" Her eyes widened in shock.

"Whoa! What's that?" She heard a voice from behind, just then the portal started to close. "No, wait!" She tried to reach out but stumbled and fell. The portal disappeared right before her eyes.

"What was that?" She heard him again.

Looking up she found a guy blinking at the space. His eyes then fell on the ground finally noticing her, pair of hazel eyes locked with hers.

She lifted her hands in anticipation that the guy would help her up but instead he turned around and went back inside the book store, shutting the door behind him.

"How rude!" She shouted as she got up. "Mannerless guy!" She shouted, as she tried to open the door but it was locked from inside.

"Forget it, Elle, calm down, take a deep breath." She took a deep breath in and exhaled out. "You need to figure out first where you are." She walked down the unfamiliar road. "Where exactly is this place? How do I reach home?" She scratched her hair. "Argh!"

She then noticed people staring at her, giving her weird looks and whispering something. She shrugged, "What's with them?" She then stood by the side of the road waiting for the traffic lights to go green. As the lights went green, people started crossing the road, a car stopped in front of her, then saw her reflection in its window. "Oh my god!" She shouted. She looked horrible, bed hair, drool at the corner of her mouth, no wonder people were staring at her. She put her hands on the pocket and found the tissue, she wiped the drool off her face and hand combed her hair into a pony making herself look a little presentable.

Luckily she had her wallet with her, she grabbed a cab and took her way home. She couldn't believe it was just by the corner. "Why are things so unfamiliar?" She thought.

She entered her house and freshened up, after a hot bath she opened her closet to find her clothes, to her surprise, there were clothes she didn't remember buying. "Wow! When did I buy these?" She stared at the pretty clothes hung on her wardrobe.

Nevertheless, she changed into the clothes and searched for her phone but she couldn't find it. "where did it go?" After a few hours, she has turned her house into a mess but still, she couldn't find her damn phone. Her stomach growled asking for her attention, she rubbed her belly, "Ah I'm so hungry!" She made her way to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator only to find it empty.

"What the hell? Where did all the food from yesterday go?" she shouted in frustration. "Wait...That witch! She dared to touch my food!" She shouted cursing her best friend.

She went out to a nearby convenience store to get herself some food. At the counter, her card was rejected. "You must be kidding me!" She blinked.

"I'm sorry about this, but I'm a regular customer here. You must be new here? Can you please call the owner for me? She knows me." She smiled at the girl.

"I am the one who's always here but sorry I haven't seen you before." She shook her head.

"What?" She blinked a couple of times trying to digest what she heard, "still can you please call the owner? She lives upstairs?"
