"Take what you need, they need you more than they need me"
"Morning Cara"
"Morning Illya"
"Even if it's a weekend I think it's unhealthy for you watch stuff like that all night" Illya says while pouring oats in a bowl
"Yeah just like it's weird and unhealthy how you eat you oats without cooking them" , Cara now distracted from the Tv turns to find her sister wearing a new night wear, a black silk vest with silk shorts to match "new nighties! When did you get those?"
"Do you always have to know when I get something?" Illya retorts to her sister
" Like duhh, I live with you infact anything you buy from now bring it to my room first for screening" Cara replied with a smirk on her face
Illya laughs while picking up her warm bowl of oats
" If someone heard they would think you were older or my mom "
Cara turns back to the Tv" am just trying to train you right "
"Cara stop talking to me am too busy walking up the stairs " .
On getting to her room Illya places the bowl of oats on her table, but out of her laziness to cook, she had grown a liking for oats with warm milk and sugar without actually cooking them.
Leaving the bowl on the table, she walks over to her bed, opens the cupboard by the side and takes out a necklace and holds it up to her face.
She examines it as if hoping to find a little clue or hint. How does someone lose something like this and hasn't come for it since.
*flashback*
2 days ago, while going through her routine as an environmental club member, she found this beautiful piece of jewellery in the dustbin of her classroom. On first look it seemed expensive, gold even. She had reported it to the school as a lost and found but no one ever came for it. Now she had sort of ended up with it.
Even though she had no evidence, she suspected it belonged to her neighbour Rose
