1 01: Pilot

Julia's POV

"Please! Don't kill my children! Kill me instead!"

"Mom, no!"

"Why would I kill you? I'm not the murderer. Your son is."

"Brother?"

"I'm sorry sis. Gotta do my job."

"NO!"

*alarm rings*

I OPENED my eyes due to the sound of my alarm. This is the third time this week that I got a nightmare. Ugh. I need to stop reading mystery novels before I get to bed.

"Nerdy sis! You awake? Can I have my phone now?" she sang.

That was my sister, Janessa Lavender Dominguez. She is a year and a half older than me. And- what did she say?!

"Can I have my phone now?"

Why would I have her phone. I checked my bedside table and I saw a phone with a lavender phone case. Yep. That's definitely hers.

"Why is your phone here? Is my phone with you?" Feeling nervous, I screamed at her, "Did you do something to my phone?!"

"Calm down, sis! It's so early in the morning," she was smiling like something exciting is gonna happen. "And here's your phone. I did nothing with it."

I quickly grabbed my phone and checked if there were changes.

"You better hurry sis. Diana and Fezia are already waiting for you. Toodles!" she waved goodbye at me and ran hurriedly to her room.

The reason I stayed up late and read mystery novels is because my sister and my friends kept forcing me to go with them to go shopping for our Graduation Ball. And I hate shopping. I'd rather stay at home than go out. -_-

*phone rings*

I noticed my phone at my bedside table ringing-my real phone- and immediately answered the call.

"Hello? Who's this?"

"Duh. Didn't you check the caller ID? It's me, Fezia."

I checked the caller ID and yup. It's my bff, Fezia. What made her call so early?

"What's up?"

"What's up?! Remember? We're supposed to buy accessories and gowns today at 9:00. And what time is it already? It's already 10:30, missy. You kept me and Diana waiting for an hour and half!"

So that's my best friend, Fezia Pearl Ortiz. And my other bff, Diana Heather Castro, is with her. They really love shopping and I'm the total opposite.

"No need to shout, bes. Geez. I'll get ready and I'll meet you in an hour," I lazily stood up and went to my walk-in closet.

"Nope. 30 minutes. That's final." she insisted.

Then she ended the call.

I hate getting ready in the morning. But I have no choice. I just got up and went to the bathroom.

AFTER taking a bath, I went to my walk-in closet and chose to wear a pink sweater and ripped jeans with matching pink rubber shoes.

I may be a nerd-well my sister calls me a nerd as an endearment- I love fashion. I love buying branded clothes.

After taking a selfie, I took my glasses at my bedside table and went downstairs.

"Good morning mom and dad!" I giggled.

"Good morning, Lia. It seems you're in a good mood," my mom chuckled.

Lia is my nickname. My full name is Julia Violette Dominguez.

"Well, I love my outfit today. And by the way, where's Jan?"

Jan is my nickname for my sister, Janessa. She doesn't like being called Janessa unless they're strangers.

"Looking for me sis?"

My sister is obviously copying my look (kidding). She is wearing a brown knitted sweater, black ripped jeans paired with a belt and black boots.

"Well, would you look at that. We're wearing sweaters! Destiny isn't it nerd?" she grinned. She loves teasing me.

"Jan, stop calling your sister a nerd. And by the way, you two look beautiful!" mom complimented.

"Thanks mom!" we both said.

"You both need to get going. Heather and Farrah are already waiting for you, Lia. And Jan, you're boyfriend is already outside," she reminded.

"Ryan is not my boyfriend mom. We'll just eat outside. Ciao!" she kissed mom and I (yuck) on the cheeks and hurriedly went outside.

"Are you going also now, Lia?" mom asked.

"Yep. Diana and Fezia have been waiting at the mall for an hour and half. Need to get going. Bye!" I took my bag and went to the garage and went to my car. I already have the license to drive one.

I went in and quickly drove it to the mall Fezia's parents owned.
