Chapter 2

Tracy sat up straight on her bed, she shared with her best friend, Jacqueline.

Her mind pretty occupied with various thought she couldn't fathom.

She sighed heavily as she stared at the wooden frame picture that was hung across the wall of her room.

Her thought wander off as she looked at the smiling girl on the picture reminding her of how much she misses her sister.

She couldn't believe the smiling girl was no more as she sob softly clenching her pillow tightly to her bosom.

The door rattle open,she didn't seems to care knowing fully well it's going to be her friend Jacqueline.

"Tracy, guess what?" Jacqueline squealed sashing to where Tracy was smiling happily but quickly stopped as she noticed her mood.

Jacqueline knew what would make her friend moody as she was.she had tried her best trying to make her forget her sister's death but Tracy was too eaten up to let go.

"Common! Tracy, how long are you going to keep mourning Emily?

"She's gone already, crying is not going to bring her back, Tracy." Jacqueline said.

"Don't say that, queline."

"You really don't know how much I miss her"Tracy replied sniffing as tears rolled down freely down her face.

"I know darling, I've seen you in your worst state and I Know what it feels like even though I never had a sister"queline said soothingly patting Tracy on her back just as though a mother would do to a child.

"Am very sorry for involving you in all this, It must be tiring for you coming back home and meeting me in a cry baby state" Tracy spoke using her thumb to wipe off the tears from her face.

"It's  ok, am sorry also for not being there for you most times,but trust me every thing is going to be fine" Jacqueline assured her opening her arms wide for a hug.

Tracy embrace her with Jacqueline patting her back.

Tracy let out a sigh of relief, excited that she had a comforting friend like Jacqueline.

She shut her eyes closed resting her chin on queline shoulder.

Queline suddenly pulled back sniffing Tracy body.

Tracy was alarmed as she gave her friend a questioning look as though 'what was that for'.

"Don't tell me you've not taken your bath"queline questioned.

"Of course,I haven't"Tracy replied embarrassed sniffing her body also to know if she really stinks.

"Get the fuck up and go bath, darling"queline commanded playfully.

"You're being unfair, queline.Hope you know that?

You were meant to be comforting me but here you are telling me how bad I stink" Tracy said jokingly as she noticed queline was trying to lighten her mood.

"I Know I'm unfair, just go bath cause you stink as hell, can't even breathe well" queline scoffed using an her hands to cover her nose.

"Are you really doing that to me"Tracy asked throwing the pillow close to her to Jacqueline.

Queline didn't hesitate as she threw it back to Tracy and then they engaged in a pillow fight.

**

"That was fun" Tracy said as they laid tiredly on the bed after the pillow fight.

"Yeah,it was but you suck at pillow fight"queline scoffed 

"For real?" Tracy asked laughed out loud.

"Just say you wanted us to to play again" she teased hitting queline the pillow again but stopped abruptly recalling Jacqueline had wanted to tell her something at first.

"What did you intend to tell me earlier "Tracy questioned placing her pillow on her laps as she rested her elbow on it with her hands on her chin.

"Oh! That? Promise if  I'm going to tell you, you're going to apply for it" queline said

"Your wish ma'am"Tracy replied sarcastically rolling her eyes curious to know what her Friend intend to tell her.

"I saw a job interview for a cook today and the pay is super huge" queline exclaimed excitedly.

"Wow! Lucky you" Tracy replied elated that her friend had finally gotten a well paid job.

"What do you mean, lucky you? Queline asked staring at Tracy keenly.

"Am congratulating you of course" Tracy replied shrugging her shoulders giving queline the 'what fo you expect look'

"Don't give me that look, darling.The job interview I found is yours not mine.

Remember,I can't cook so you're going to apply for it"  queline explained 

Tracy was too suprised as she stared at queline, she was short of words as she gawped her mouth open trying to figure out the right word to say.

"Don't think of saying no, darling cause the pay is super hot" queline budge her thoughts off.

"Thanks queline, Tracy squealed happily jumping all over queline excitingly.

"That's enough, darling" queline mumble trying to get Tracy off her but she couldn't.

"I think it's about time you get your stinking ass to the bathroom" queline snarled.

Immediately, Tracy stood up and queline let out a light smile as she had finally gotten Tracy off her.

"Ouchh!! That was harsh "Tracy scoffed dragging her feet to the bathroom.

She took her time in bathing.

Once she was done,she noticed queline wasn't in the room so she assumed she'd be in the kitchen warming the food she had prepared earlier.

Tracy applied body cream on her body as she scanned her eyes through her wardrobe looking for a nice outfit 

She felt it will be more comfortable if she'd put on her silky silhouette since it was almost dusk and having no where to go to.

She slipped it on and then realize she had to go through the file queline had earlier dropped concerning the not interview.

She picked up the file,then relax to go through it.

She flipped through the first page and started reading, she found the rules pertaining the job interesting and funny as she was intrigued to continue reading.

She was almost done when her eyes zeroed into a name.

She blinked once,twice and pinched herself to see if she was hallucinating.

She read it aloud 'management signed by COLE ANDERSON' 

That was the name her research had provided, she was quite sure.

"It couldn't be him, perhaps it's a coincidence"she assured herself as she flung herself on her bed drifting into a nice sleep.
