Chapter 1

In Johnson House

In one of the second floor rooms of the said house, a person stirred in their bed when the Sun shone strongly at their face.

"mm..eggs..andwich..icken," mumbled the sleepy head.

"Ah, where's the food gone?" the person looked around confused, "Oh, it's morning? Already? That was a tasty dream," a pair of droopy eyes drifted off to a laptop and realized something. "Holy STUPID LIFE of the deadline!," the person screamed and hurriedly started typing something. Few hours after completing the desk job, while lying down on the bed again, eyes wandered around the room and regretted not cleaning for a while. Everyone in the household were responsible for cleaning their personal spaces, there's a lot to do but this person hardly wants move about.

*BANG BANG*

"Mom, is that you?" The lazy person asked alertly, "I'll come down for breakfast in a while~"

Oh no, what if she sees the condition of my room, done for good. The person inside the room thought.

With a cinematic slam a lean man in grey pajamas barged into the room, "you better clean this stinky room or I'm snitching on you!"

"Brother? Why do you need to scare me like that? You didn't feel the need of permission before entering my room again! And do you even wash your grey pajamas? You've been wearing that for so long it stinks," the person in bed threw a tantrum.

"Well Elina Johnson! I can't open my window for the sick stench from your room! Clean up within an hour or it's getting dirty for real," he slammed the door shut before leaving.

Yeah better do it before all hell breaks loose, Elina thought.

In the afternoon, Elina changed out of her nightgown into some casual wear, put on some sunscreen and set off for grocery shopping. On her way out something she feared happened, she met the gossiping matchmaker ladies of the neighborhood.

"Ohh our poor Elina, how have you been child, your parents doing fine? You don't seem like you are out on a date, where to?" asked Lady A.

Here we go again, thought Elina.

"Yeah they're doing fine, I'm out to run some errands, so later." Elina replied.

"Are you twenty already? Should we introduce some boys to you?" asked Lady B.

".. you're probably mistaken for my body size, I'm almost 40 this year," the young Johnson lied with a meanacing smile and stepped away.

The ladies' face turned red with anger towards her sarcasm. "Well listen up little lady! You better start applying makeup appropriately to your wrinkly old face or you'd never find a groom in this lifetime!" Lady C yelled angrily.

Elina turned back, held Lady C by her chin infront of the eavesdropping neighbours and told her in a seductive voice, " You hurt my longing heart, if only you knew what I felt for you, you'd never understand my unrequited love for you it seems." She brushed off a non existent tear from her eyes and turned to leave for good.

Lady C after recovering from the shock stomped off from the place to avoid further embarrassment.
