Kiwi ran a comb through her dishevelled hair. She yanked open the freezer door, plucked a burrito out, and plopped the case into the microwave for 2:00 minutes. She collapsed into her gaming chair before opening Discord.

Caily: Can sum1 help w/ my english hmwrk?
Dori: Nope. Not our problem.
Alina: slacker.
Atalia: Have track 2nite, sorry Caily!
Kiwi heard the microwave beep agitatedly. She crammed the burrito into her mouth, beginning to write a quick reply.
Kiwi: Sorry for the late reply, I was tutoring Angelique in English last night! IF it's not too late, I have a few minutes!
An immediate reply popped up.
Caily: PLEASE- Mrs. Schenk will have my head if I have another incomplete-
Kiwi: No worries! What do you need help with?
Kiwi typed hurriedly before opening a new tab.

Kiwi opened her playlist- it contained several of her favourite songs. Beep! De-dum, de-dum, de-dum, de-dum. Prung! "Hey nerd, how goes the English homework?" Kiwi smirked. "Terribly- S.O.S." "How is it even possible for you to still be taking spelling tests in grade seven ??" "I flunked grade six spelling..." "Oh Caily, you're in quite deep over your head, aren't you?"
Kiwi Elinor Plum Twigs was an... odd child. She never seemed to play as much as the other children. As she grew older, her small group of friends stuck by her side. She wouldn't have ever gotten into this mess if she wasn't such a sucker around them. She was in her favourite class, English, reading a book. Kiwi has already finished her coursework for the next seven months. Brushing her dark, shot hair out of her face, she flipped her page. Vague words from the ensuing lesson occasionally burst her bubble. "Complexity of the developments in characterization matters;" Mrs. Schenk pushed her spectacles up her nose, concentrating. Atalia tapped her shoulder, causing Kiwi to sigh, reaching for her fuzzy blue-velvet bookmark. "Look at my tiktok tonight, 'kay?" Rolling her icy blue eyes, she exasperatedly reminded her friend that she didn't have the app, nor did she want to download it. "You don't?!" Kiwi pulled her hood down over her head. "Nope." She turned to re-open her book, before Atalia whisked up her hand. "Please, Kiwi, for me?" she pouted "Ughhhh... fine, just let me read my book." Lowo had caved after ten long months of begging. As she scrolled through the feed, seeing weird girls in furry costumes, a feeling of pure, cold, dread settled in the pit of her stomach. "Dear Lord Almighty, please help me." She groaned as she crammed her phone into her backpack, full to the brim with textbooks and novels. This was going to be a longgggg week. Kiwi fingered her necklace- the crucifix charm that her late great-grandmother had left for her in the short will she had written before her untimely death.

"Miss Kiwi Elinor Plum Twigs?" The 'proper' man looked down his long narrow nose at her. "That's me." Kiwi replied, taunting the formal 'gentleman'. "Your Great-Grandmother, Elinor Matilda Frankie Eloise Lillian Priya Sherman Twigs has left you everything she has- more specifically her heirloom necklace," he pointed at the necklace laying curled neatly on the desk without bothering to glance up at it; "and her hotel, in Westminster." Kiwi's eyes slowly widened. "We only discovered Miss Twig's death recently- the hotel has been run-down for many years. Do you wish to slate it for demolition?" Kiwi thought for a moment. "Okay." she tentatively pried the hinges on the necklace apart before clipping it around her own neck. She had begun fiddling with it while contemplating her options or whenever she became nervous. Kiwi may not have known her late Great-Grandmother, but, nevertheless, she sensed something was... off... about this whole ordeal, Kiwi had thought solemnly.
It was when Kiwi saw the video about the haunted hotel that something clicked into place in her brain. Problem was, she still had no clue what that piece was.
{a/n: This is a flashback while Kiwi is asleep, and is purely in the PAST! Hope you enjoyed this blash from Kiwi's (or your's , depending on if you're reading it as a reader x Seek story) past!!!}
Until next time,
'~Kiwi~'!!!
