Wrong Number, Right Person
Chapter: 1 Text
Hello 👋 this will be my first time to write a chat story.
I hope you find it good, cause really it's just I'm a little bit curious to tried it.
Celina
Celina Reyes (27) – Freelance graphic designer. Witty, skeptical, observant. Has trouble trusting others due to a past betrayal. Lives alone in an aging apartment with flickering lights and too-thin walls.
Rowan
Rowan Vale (30) – New tenant. Systems analyst with a hidden past. Quiet, dry-humored, extremely protective. There's something off about how much he notices.
Rowan
Unknown Number:
"hey… u still up?"
Celina
Celina:
"New number. Who dis?"
Rowan
Unknown Number:
"Oh—sorry, thought this was someone else
nvm
Celina
Celina:
Wait. Who were you trying to reach?
Rowan
Unknown Number:
someone named Ava
wrong number I guess
sorry again
Celina
Celina:
No worries. I was up anyway.
You texting lost souls at 1:42 AM or…?
Rowan
Unknown Number:
insomnia + bad timing combo
didn’t mean to bug you
Celina
Celina:
You didn’t.
The pipes are hissing in my apartment like I pissed off a ghost, so… distractions are welcome.
Rowan
Unknown Number:
Hissing pipes?
You live at Evergreen Towers?
Celina
Celina:
…Yeah. 4B.
Why?
Rowan
Unknown Number:
Same. I just moved into 5C.
Celina
Celina:
That makes this extra creepy.
Rowan
Unknown Number:
😂 agree. weird coincidence.
I’m Rowan, btw.
Celina
Celina:
Celina.
Don’t tell me you’ve got whispering walls too.
Rowan
Rowan:
Not whispering.
But my hallway light flickered twice before I texted you.
Celina
Celina:
I hate that we’re bonding over this.
Rowan
Rowan:
Could be worse. Could’ve ignored me completely.
Celina
Celina:
I almost did.
But something about your timing felt… off.
Rowan
Rowan:
In a bad way?
Celina
Celina:
No.
In a “you texted right before my lights buzzed” kind of way.
Rowan
Rowan:
Maybe I’m psychic.
Or cursed.
Celina
Celina:
If you’re cursed, don’t drag me into it.
Rowan
Rowan:
Too late. We’ve texted. We’re bonded now.
Celina
Celina:
Ugh. That’s how all good horror movies start.
Rowan
Rowan:
And all the good love stories, too.
Rowan
Rowan:
Goodnight, Celina from 4B.
Celina
Celina:
Night, Rowan from 5C.
Don’t let the hissing ghosts bite.
it's the end of chapter 1, how is it?
The other characters will someday add so stay tuned~
