Chapter 1

Adagio

Adagio woke up at 7:00 am sharp today, just like she does every weekday morning. She walked out of her small but nicely decorated room and onto the little balcony that was attached.

The view was of large apartment buildings, much like the one she's in right now, and of a big lake. She inhaled the cold morning air and quickly went back inside and pulled shut the sliding door.

She started walking to the kitchen, briefly stopping to check if anyone else was awake. There were two cereal boxes there, but between Fruit Hoops and Cocoa Fluffs, she was keener on having toast with butter. She put the toast in the toaster and put some coffee to brew. She'd need it; it was a Monday.

A little pop noise snapped her out of her thoughts of all the dreaded work she'd have to do today, and she grabbed her toast and hot coffee.

She was halfway done with her breakfast when Aria entered the room looking tired, as if she has a 9 to 5 job like me, Adagio thought.

"Morning," Aria groggily greeted.

"Why up so early?" Adagio asked.

"Couldn't sleep."

"What? Did you watch a scary movie?" Adagio teased.

"You know I wouldn't get scared of that!" Aria exclaimed, "I couldn't sleep because of Sonata's stupid snoring. Sharing a room with her sucks!"

"Hmm. Well, I've finished my breakfast, so I'm going soon."

Adagio went to her room and got changed, ready for work. She said a quick goodbye to Aria before she left and then headed down the hallway to the elevator. Soon, she reached the apartment complex lobby. She then went through the main revolving door and to the bus stop close to the building. The bus to her work came right on time, and she left on it, ready for another tiresome day.


Aria

Aria woke up to Sonata's light snoring, but no matter how 'light' the snoring was, she still felt annoyed by it.

"Such a pest sometimes," Aria murmured. Lucky Dagi, she had her own room. Aria thought. It's only fair, though, considering she's the leader (although Aria believes she could be it), and she's the only one who has a stable full-time job, unlike us two who only have part-time jobs.

She looked at her phone to see what time it was. Her phone model was only a couple of years old, and she got it from Gigika. She remembered how when they first discovered the website how Sonata asked if its name is after someone named Gigi. At the time, Aria pointed out that it was a dumb question, just as usual from Sonata, but honestly, she didn't always mind it when Sonata would say something like that; it usually brightened the mood.

Aria shook her head as she realized she'd gotten distracted. The time was 8:03 am. Too early for her, but too late to go back to bed. Still tired, she walked out of the shared room, through the hallway, and into the kitchen, where Adagio was having breakfast before going to work.


After Adagio had left, Aria looked at the options and figured she'd sooner go grocery shopping than eat any of the sugary cereals Sonata got last time they went.

After looking around, she had just found her wallet right when Sonata decided to wake up.

"Good morning!" Sonata greeted in her PJ's.

Urgh, Aria thought. Now I’ll have to bring her along.

"Hey! Are you holding your wallet? And you're dressed too! Are you going somewhere?" Sonata said enthusiastically.

"Duh! I'm going to the grocery store. There's nothing good for breakfast."

"What do you mean? Fruit Hoops and Cocoa Fluffs are delicious!"

Aria rolled her eyes.

"Well, at least wait for me!" Sonata said.

"What do you think I'm doing?" Aria replied.

With a little smile, knowing that she's not forgotten, Sonata went back and got changed.
