Episode 01

Celine waited an hour for her friend to wake up. She already took a bath, changed clothes and now, waiting for her friend. She sat down at the couch still trying to reminisce her good time with her crush. But nothing's popping in. Another hour passed and her friend finally awake.

"Agh-- my head hurts.. Shit.." Maine said as she rose up.

"Be careful" Celine said as she helped her friend. "Why you fainted so suddenly?" she asked.

"Because!, that was one of a hell information! Goodness"

"Chill out friend"

Her friend gave a deep sigh as she lean over the head board of the bed. She then, looked at Celine and asked to tell what really happened.

"**What did really happened to you? How the hell did you end up making out with some stranger**?"

"I have no words to say, I don't remember everything. The only thing I remembered is I'm awfully drunk and I was in the bathroom trying myself to get sobered. And then when I was done washing my face. I saw a guy who's waiting on the hallway. And that's it... I can't even remember the face of the guy. But there's one thing I'm sure of..."

"What?"

"I know that guy... I'm sure of it"

"Who might it be then?"

"Secret for now."

"Seriously? How sure are you when you can't even remember the face who took your virginity!? You're ridiculous friend" Maine added.

"I-I know b-because of the smell of his perfume. I-I guess?" Celine undeniably said. She trust her instincts too much.

Maine gave a deep sigh before getting up to bed. She then took a last glance to her friend before leaving the room, that made Celine confused.

"What the hell is going on inside of her mind?" Celine mind saying.

Celine lay down to her bed with her phone on her right hand, browsing something to cease her boredom. She then stopped browsing when a particular article caught her attention. It was an article about the young CEO having a luxurious vacation in New York City.

She read the article and the thing is, she felt jealous and insecure. Because she feels like she's living in the deep bottom of the earth where she can't even take a one step above. To her, it's so fascinating to imagine that you just have to sleep and rose up in a king size bed, feed yourself with a gold spoon and continue living your life in an ocean of money but then it will always and always an imagination. It's as if she was trap at the bottom, trying to make herself good, be better and do things as harder as she can, so that one day she'll see herself at the top.

"While other people wasting money for something then waste it again to stop the rumors circulating on social media," that was the last thing she said to herself before taking a nap.

...*************...

Maine walks in to her room then she smiled when she saw Celine sleeping peacefully. She then took her alarm clock and set it. Maine was done taking another bath and was ready to head out to start making money, she was accepted as manager of one of the celebrity of NYC ENTERTAINMENT.

"I'm probably not home by the time you wake up, and Y-yeah lol, I'm actually the one waking you up lol. So, for now let me take this alarm clock of yours in good use. So wake up as this clock starts to ring huh. You have to earn money, were not rich. Bye Girl, sleep well." Maine said before leaving their unit.

As what Maine anticipated, Celine woke up as the clock started to ring. She, rose up and went to the bathroom to wash herself. It's afternoon, she took a day off to open the cafe that she and Maine put their half of salary everyday to build it. Although it's quite late to open since she was drunk and her friend didn't bothered to open it because she was worried about Celine, there are still a lot of customers.

"I guess, we need to hire a new barista, just in case my job gets more hectic. And I can't bother Maine since her son (pertaining to the celebrity that her friend handling) have a lot of upcoming projects in and outside of the country." Celine said as she wore her clothes and shoes.

She then, took a last glance of the mirror, smiled, before leaving the unit.
