Ever since the paranormals emerged from their hiding places and took their positions at the top, life hasn't been the same for the weak especially humans. Vampires, werewolves, witches just to mention a few have had an impact on lives. Some have accepted them, some despise them. Who knows, maybe there are other worse creatures waiting to be discovered soon.
I seem not to get enough of science, all this events that have been unveiled have given us a lot of research still to be done, l can't say these supernaturals are a blessing though.
Getting two weeks off from all these crazy research is something anyone who understands my frustrations would die for.

Not to mention having a new neighbor too. Very very hot  by the way, maybe he's single. Just keeping my hopes up. I've been making attempts to talk to him but hell it has been superdupa hard. I barely see him. Since he moved in three days ago l can say l have seen him or heard anything from his apartment. Well, it's not like l wanna hear anything in particular.
Nothing is so annoying than being cut off from your daydream about Mr Sexy Nextdoor by your best friend who is also obsessed with him.
"Hello."
"Hey bitch, how is your lover nextdoor?"she seems so excited.
I sigh,"he is not my lover, okay? And why would you ask about how he is before even asking about me?"
"Deny it all you want but he is. Anyway here's the thing, l have a plan for you to you know get to know your lover more. I am coming over to your house now."
"I said he's not..."she hangs up before l can protest against what she said.
What have l gotten myself into?
  
                           •   •   •

Zoey is currently pacing around in front of me,"l thought you said you had a plan.
She looks at me then says,"l do but l don't know if you will like it."
"Try me."
She sits next to me,"l was thinking since you like cooking,"is she going to say what l think she is gonna say," you could bake something for him, sort of like welcome-to-the-apartment cookies."
Yeah, she said it.
I look at her with my eyes almost popping out." Are you out of your goddamn mind? I don't want to scare my catch away. He'll probably think l'm a freak showing up at his doorstep with cookies.
She is silent for about two seconds and then busts out laughing," so now he is your catch says the girl who denies her lover.
I look at her with a serious face.
She contains her laughter for a moment before laughing again as she speaks in between her laughter."Sorry...... Anyway, what's the harm in trying. Besides, l am doing this because l don't want you to die as Virgin Mary."
"Very funny. Who said l am dying?"
"Cut the crap Camilla and start baking or maybe you have a better idea than mine,"she looks at me waiting for a reply.
"Of course, l do."
"Lets hear it then."
I cocked my head trying to speak,"well, l don't exactly have one right now but.."
Not really much of an idealistic person.
"Time is something we really don't have right now, so we bake while you think of one."
She leads the way into the kitchen like she knows what she's doing. I must say she is more of the thinker and l am the fulfiller. That's if those words even exist.
We spend two hours baking whilst Zoey tell me about her breakup with her boyfriend now ex-boyfriend. She deals well with her breakups maybe because she doesn't get too attached to a person. In the end, we had two bowls overflowing with peanut butter and chocolate cookies. 
We look at each other."Don't you think that's a little too much?"
I agree with Zoey."Yep, you have a point Zoe."
Without wasting anymore time, l grab the best plate l have in my kitchen. Did l mention the special one my mom gave me that l have never used. I totally feel this is the best time to use them, who knows they might bring me luck.
"Do l look okay or do l need to change?" I ask Zoey before l go.
"Nah, you're good except without the apron,"she helps me take it off.
I hesitate again," Zoey, l'm nervous."
She hugs me tight,"Don't worry just breathe."
She is still hugging but l couldn't breathe," how am l.. supposed to breathe when you are.. suffocating me."
"Oh, sorry,"she laughs at how l try to catch some air.
I think of another excuse,"what I he's a vampire or something. He'll drain every last bit of my blood."
"Now you're just being paranoid. Go,"she says as she pushes me out.

A few moments have passed since l have been staring at his door. Finally, l knock on his apartment door.
I wait for an answer but nothing. I knock a but harder and still nothing.
"If l knock the second time and he doesn't come, l'm ditching this mission" l mumble to myself.
Before l knock the third time, he opens the door.
He looks so pissed off, "l heard you the first time."
I couldn't even say anything. I am lost for minute.
Never have l seen such a man. His hair is nice cut short of the sides and back of his head leaving most of his top front hair hanging down to his left eye making hard to see the eye. Did l mention the strands that fall to his eye are white while the rest is raven black hair . Very rare. I am sure the white part is not bleached because even the roots of the strands are white.
I could tell from his right eye that his eyes have got a mesmerising deep ocean blue colour. His lips pale and thin. A prominent jaw curved gracefully around and the strength of his neck showed in twining cords of muscle that shaped his entire body: very strong arms indeed. Very catastrophic. Oh God this kind of body should be illegal. The blush that accompanied the way l look at was a dead give-away.
"Standing there staring at me like you've seen a ghost makes you look like a complete freak."
That comment finally brings me back to reality.
I recompose myself."l'm sorry, l didn't mean to umm. Nevermind. My name is Camilla, Camilla Chapman. Your neighbor, just next door. I just wanna welcome you with these. I baked them for you."
I extend the plate to him waiting for his acceptance only to see him look at them and then at me,"l'm on a diet besides l don't like cookies."
I feel a pang of disappointment and embarrassment at the same time.
Very arrogant. Check
I should probably write that in my journal.
I retrieve the plate as l think of something to say.
"Maybe if you like something else l could make it for you, "l try to keep a polite attitude.
He huffs," Look lady, l am not interested in anything from you, okay? So why don't you leave me the fuck alone." He slams the door right in my face before l can even try to convince him more.
Anger issues. Check.
At least he could have given me his name.

I close my apartment door then dump the plate on the table while throwing myself on the couch and close my eyes without a word.
I think Zoe knew what that meant." So l am guessing that was a fail."
I nod my head in response.
"Ok, back to the drawing board. Time for plan B."
I am not sure if am really up for it. Though l don't tell Zoe that. She'll definitely lecture me again.
We'll just have to wait and see.
