Thomas Lanier is just your average highschool nerd, he plays Crypts and creatures with his friends over the weekend and spends his week nights surfing the web and tinkering in his garage. After his father gave him an old necklace he started having strange 'dreams' and one day he stops his classmate from squishing a strange beetle just to have it fly and land on his head. He takes the bug to a window to set it free, but as the day progresses things get weird, someone filled his locker with silverfish, P.E. was cancelled due to a swarm of yellow jackets attacking the coach during laps, and a stink bug flew directly into the schools star quarter backs mouth when he was trash talking about Tom and his friends, but when he comes home to find a spider web with his name written out and a writer spider sitting just below in what seemed like a bowing position... "this is getting creepy".

"I still can't believe we're finally going on a summer camp together!" I gushed as I hooked arms with my best friend as we walked into the mall shopping for some new clothes.
"We've been dreaming of it for years now I can't believe it's finally happening!" My best friend Bree shrieked clutching my arm and jumping up and down.

"Shush people are staring at us!" I hissed flashing an apologetic smile to a family that walked by us giving us weird looks.

"Oh c'mon let them stare who cares," she retorted making a beeline to a shop.

I nodded politely at the woman sitting at the counter as I followed my best friend. Bree and I have been best friends ever since she moved to our small town, Hunters Creek Village located in Harris County, Texas a couple of years ago. She came from Los Angeles because apparently her family wanted a fresh start at a small town where it was peaceful and they don't have to breathe in the polluted air and listen to the "awful" traffic in Los Angeles. Only I know that wasn't the real reason why they want to move. Bree's father had an affair and it was still a sore subject till today and we don't talk about her father at all.

Her mother who had to move to LA in the first place because of business decided that she will now open her own bookshop where she can live peacefully and raise her children. I visit the shop often to keep Mrs. Hannah company and being a book nerd myself,  I usually read there with a cup of coffee provided by Bree's mom, Mrs. Hannah.

Bree has a younger brother who will start sophomore year soon and they don't get along well. Mrs. Hannah would always tease her that Ezra, Bree's brother likes her more than he does with her own sister. I just think Ezra likes her more because they have common interests since Ezra was also a book nerd like her.

"Hello? Earth to Hope?!" Bree snapped her fingers in front of my face. Hope is my name by the way because after being told several times by the doctor that my mom couldn't bear any children, one day there was a miracle. She was pregnant and I gave her Hope so my parents decided to name me Hope.

I shook my head. "Sorry, what were you saying?"

"What do u think of this outfit?" Bree twirled around and giggled. She was wearing a cute skirt with a belt and a crop top. Since her hair was also jet black, my best friend looks like a model no matter what with her perfect body figure. She has chubby cheeks and she's insecure about it no matter how much I tell her that she's already perfect the way she is.

"It's... perfect you always look perfect no matter what you wear." I sighed. "But we're  going on a summer camp though Bree, not a fashion camp."

"I know but I saw this and couldn't help myself," she looked in the mirror. "It's like this outfit was made just for me." She whispered and turned around. "I have to get this."

I shrugged. "Suit yourself."

"What about you? You find anything you like?"

I looked around the shop. Everything was cute but it just wasn't my type. There were short miniskirts, shorts, leather jackets, mini crop tops, and those teenagers ish girly stuff. I was more of a soft girl aesthetic who likes wearing sweaters, sweatpants, hoodies, jeans, flannel jackets, big t-shirts, and occasionally short jeans sometimes.

I shook my head. "Nope, not my type."

Bree rolled her eyes, "I knew you would say that. C'mon, let's go find something for you." She tugged my arm and dragged me to another shop.

Sometimes I wonder how we even became best friends. Bree and I were the opposite. Bree is this girl where every guy has a crush on and where girls would envy her.  She's an extrovert who also gets along with everyone and has mad flirting skills even though she won't admit it. She would flash her signature smile at the guys she thought were cute and they wouldn't stop staring at her. She has the perfect fashion sense and knows how to dress up for occasions. She also wants to be a fashion designer so I guess that wasn't a surprise.

Me, on the other hand, was the exact opposite. I'm a book nerd as I mentioned earlier and I would rather sit on my couch and curled up with my blanket and a good book rather than going shopping and interacting with people. I've always dreamed of being a writer since I can remember. I'm skinny tall unlike Bree who's a bit short, and she would always gush about my height and legs saying how she wants to be skinny tall and have my long legs and curvy figure. I do like my body although I don't show it I'm a bit insecure about my height since I'm taller than most girls my age.

Anyways, Bree and I have always wanted to go to a summer camp, and one day, my mom surprised me on my birthday. When I woke up there was an envelope sitting on the floor near my door and after I tore it open, it was a booklet of a summer camp that my mom secretly enrolled for me and Bree. Bree and I called for hours after that, both of us unable to control our excitement. Bree's mom drove us here the week after that dropping Ezra off to his friend's house and us at the mall so that we can shop. Ezra groaned and finally put on his headphones on the way to the mall because we couldn't stop talking about the camp and how much fun we're going to have. It was the summer before our junior year and we're going to have so much fun.

Hope Garcia is an introvert who likes to curl up with a book for fun. The opposite of her best friend Bree who's eye candy for all the guys. When she and her best friend go on a summer camp, however, she met a boy who changes her life , makes her question things and breaks through her comfort zone. Will Hope follow her heart? Or will he fall for her best friend instead?
A heartwarming and heartbreaking story about friendship, love, forgiveness and finding out who you truly are and what you truly desire.

"Huh? Nothing.I'm alright, heheh.."forcing herself not to sound a little agitated, SooYang smiled in order to keep Shega Hariga's calm himself.Why not,he looked like a crazy man asking her a few minutes ago.

"Ah,there goes the bus.Let's go.."luckily, a bus came by,so did SooYang could end the anxious time Shega Hariga created.Not caring for the curiousity of the gaze Shega Hariga stared her,she pulled his hands leniently and they boarded the bus together.

"Are you sure you are oka-"before Shega Hariga could finish his words, SooYang already interrupted,"Yes,yes~No worries.Let's just think about our movement at the mall,okay?"

"Hm.Okay."even still feeling a little worry and curious, Shega Hariga forced himself to shut up and gave in.

"First,we'll go to the stationery shop first.Okay?"he ensured and SooYang nodded obediently.The ride went so graceful,like the rainy day..is really made for them today.Graceful, soft and lovely.Nothing more than just beautiful.Just very beautiful.

Coldness slowly crept into SooYang's pale skin.She hugged herself and a time, she brushed her arms in order to give herself some heat.Shega Hariga watched her carefully for the first time,and he like what he sees.She is just really pure and beautiful,like a sparkling diamond on a pure white rose.

"Hmmm..?"she was really taken aback by his actions, pulling her head smoothly towards his shoulder.A smile,not a force, showed up on his dark-red lips.His face was really stunning.Just so perfect.

No reaction from SooYang.Her mind suddenly flow somewhere.Their both gaze locked out towards the window,the window that show them the beautiness of the day that made fpr them both.

The rain drops really smooth and the scenery around them turned blur.Blur with some traces of gentleness and calmness.The road lamps everywhere.. With some people with jackets and umbrella.. Honking sound.. The gloomy, refreshingly enough day.SooYang gaze caught a cafe with coupling people inside it.The cafe lamps was beautiful.Soft,orange like colour.How beautiful today is.

Not seem like a few minutes after the both teens treating their each minds,the bus finally stopped.Everyone inside it walked down,and so do Shega Hariga and SooYang.


Taking out an umbrella with two jackets inside his bag,that seems no book inside it (what a lazy lad) , Shega Hariga handed one of it,the pink one,towards SooYang who wore it open heartedly.Really it suits her! Shega Hariga smirked in satisfy.

"So, now, let's go to the stationery shop."he said,while looking deeply inside her dark-blue irises eyes.SooYang cutely nodded but in a time they both didn't realize how the way people looking at them with such an amazed way.

But,apart from that, there's someone that looking on them from afar,a guy in black long robe with a black glasses to cover his mahogany eyes,that looks like in a great unsatisfactory.

She's a nerd high school girl. She has a crush - a gangster with perfect figure - like everyone want for. She like him and maybe he also does like her (to bully).

But she was involved in an accident and lose her memory. This make her forgot about him. All about their memories were gone from her mind.

Misunderstood, lies and deceit surrounded her, and that made her lose her head. She can't accept everything. Only one, she accepted him.

Will their blurred love redeemed after everything is solved?

During our journey, I kept playing romantic songs.  Then I played a song dedicating it to Naina. It was the song 'Main Tujhse Ek Baat Keh Du' [lit. Let me speak onething to you...] by 'Adhar Chauhan'.
Then I asked, "Do you understand why I love this song?"
Nikhil said, "The Lyrics as well as the music make it special?"
Aasthik interrupted, "This song is special to you because it was composed by Adhar Chauhan while he was in his 3rd year of Engineering and he is from Bhilai, Chhattisgarh and you were once friends with him."
Anjali said, "Guys will always remain guys. Did you listen to the lyrics properly? It says 'Tu Sun le Naina, Mere Dil Ki Baatein' {lit. Listen to my Heart, Naina}."
"And it ends with Naina, I love you.... Naina!" added Naina with a big grin on her face.
It was Aasthik's turn to dedicate the song to Anjali so he dedicated the female version of Tere Hoke Rahenge composed by Neethusha and her band. He showed the video to Anjali.
Anjali seemed to dislike it. "All the time the they keep showing her lips" she said. It seemed as if she was envious just because Aasthik liked Neethusha and the video.
I then gave Naina my smartphone to read the Chapter-6 and Chapter-7 of the Story which she hadn't yet read.
"Now the story has turned interesting. The girl betrayed the boy, that's the story I like." She said that with a big grin.
Then I showed her messages from Julie (a fan of the story) and Sneha (a girl with whom I have a bro-sis relationship, though we are not blood-relatives) both of whom had labelled Naina as 'Crazy' because of the actions depicted in Chapter 6.
"Tell the both of them, that they are the crazy ones." she said.
Then I showed her a message from Sourabh which read, "What a heart-breaking story. Same thing happened with me. It is as if you are writing my story."
"Tell him it is not his story" saying that she turned her face away in anger.
"Why are you so angry?"
"Because it is my story and my story only." replied Naina.
"Abhay, I know Aasthik has been helping you to write the story. Now that we are all a part of this story, does that mean you will write about us too?" asked Anjali very innocently.
"No.".
"Why not?" asked Anjali.
"Because I have already asked Aasthik to be a co-author of the story and he has agreed."
"Really Aasthik?" Anjali seemed excited at the prospect of being a part of the story.
"Yeah, it would make more sense for me to write our side of the story, that is, if you want me to. If you say No, I won't be writing it." Aasthik said.
"Of course I want you to. But you guys will be using pseudo-names, right?"
"Obviously." replied Aasthik.
That conversation, on that day, decided that Aasthik will have to become the co-author to help me complete the story.
After a few minutes we arrived at our destination.
----
We reached Nandi Hills. It was almost 4 PM. We explored the whole area. Taking pictures, cracking jokes. We were having the time of our lives. There were so many visitors that day. Most of our times was spent making poses and clicking pictures. All 3 of us (I, Aasthik and Nikhil) were good at photography and we had two cameras.
We then reached a place which seemed like a small part of an old fort. But entry was not allowed inside. Monkeys were jumping around the place.
That place was apt to capture some magical moments. I and Naina decided to enact the scenes from our time at the Garden in Kormangala, one of which included me bending over on one knee and proposing to Naina. The problem was we were not carrying any rose.
There were flowers around, but we were afraid of getting caught while plucking them. Nikhil pointed us to a couple of beautiful flowers and Aasthik grabbed a moment and plucked the two of them. We then took some wonderful photographs.
We started to feel hungry to we went inside a small canteen that was there. I ordered two 'Badam Milks', Naina ordered a coffee and a 'Dosa', Nikhil ordered 'Puri-Bhaji'. Aasthik and Naina said they weren't hungry and they went out to click some more pictures nearby.
Naina asked me why I wasn't eating anything I told her that I avoid food while travelling. Especially oily food. She didn't like the coffee. So, I offered her one of my 'Badaam' milks. We exchanged the drinks. The coffee really tasted horrible, but I drank it anyway. Nikhil also did not like the 'Puri-Bhaji' as it was way too oily. Naina asked me a bunch of times to share the 'Dosa' she was eating. While She was standing and eating 'Dosa', I went and sat nearby once I had drunk the coffee.
 
She looked at me with her cute eyes and came to me with a morsel of Dosa. It felt very romantic. So I ate it from her hands.
We then came out and and met with Aasthik and Anjali. I wanted to go to the Nandi Temple. Naina and Nikhil said that since the both of them hadn't taken a bath, they won't be entering the temple. So I, Aasthik and Anjali went inside. It was an ancient and magnificent temple. We came out and showed the pics to Naina and Nikhil. 
Naina and Nikhil had thought that Sunset at Nandi Hills won't be that great since its more famous for Sunrise. They were proved wrong. The Sunset was spectacular but cold wind started to blow at some good speed. Luckily the three of us were carrying extra shirts and jackets. Anjali and Naina also took out jackets of their own but they were thin jackets. Hence, we shared the Jackets, Shirts and Hats with Naina and Anjali and continued taking more pictures.
When it started to get dark, we finally decided to head back.  Abhay took me aside for a moment and asked me if I would be interested to take a trip to Mysore.
"You mean right now?" I asked.
"Yes, but only if all 5 of us agree. Nikhil won't have a problem but you should ask Naina. I will ask Anjali." he said.
He later told me that he had once promised Anjali that he will take her to Mysore.
Everyone agreed to go to Mysore. The next day was a Sunday so that was not a problem. The idea was to reach Mysore by midnight, visit a few places in Mysore in the morning and return in the evening.
Aasthik talked to the driver and the travel agency and all was set. I used my contacts to book a hotel in Mysore.

I sat on my bed and began reading "today was the day I for the first time saw him. he had just joined as a teacher here and I couldn't wait to see how he would teach in class."
miss jas's diary had less writing in each page and in a lot of dates she didn't write. I turned to the next page to continue reading
"even though today was the start of summer al lot of students were still wearing warm jackets and coats to school. I saw him once again but today he had a little girl with him and I can't stop wondering if it is his daughter". 
"days have passed and seeing him with the girl has become more frequent I wonder what their relationship is".
I turned the page "I was too curious that I checked her records and found out something I shouldn't have. now I feel nervous around him".
"it's been almost two weeks and today was the day he finally found out that she was killed by the principal and the other teachers because she came inbetween their plans but thanks to her I found out about their plans and I know this won't end here."
I checked for the date when this was written and found out that it was written 10 years ago. and I also understand that the girl must be luna and the other teacher must be the killer. what did miss jas find out about luna? what was the principal's and the  teachers plan? why did all the incidents take place before 10 years? why is he talking revenge after 10 years? the more I read I get more questions than answers. as I was about to continue reading I heard the door bell ring so I hid the book and rushed to the door. (WHY DO I KEEP GETTING DISTURBED WHEN I AM READING THIS BOOK!!!) I saw through the spyhole but I couldn't see anyone so I slowly opened the door and saw a punch aiming my face...

Natsumi
As they looked at me, one of them whispered. His friend immediately scolded him. I think the three of them are friends based on what I see. One of them was just quiet.
"Excuse me, gentlemen. Since this is the first day, I will forgive you for being late, but now, introduce yourself in class." Our Professor said. My attention is only in the three men in front.
"Hi, guys! I'm Stenard Levine Buenaflor. I hope we can all be friends." he said enthusiastically to the class.
"Hi. I'm Jeriel Rohan Dizon. I hate annoying. That's all." he said coldly. Cold type of person is dangerous. A cold person is most observant.
"Hi! I'm Jenthrix Izumi Tyson. That's all." that's all he said.
So, his name is Jenthrix. Not common, he still stares at me. I just sit here and looking at them.
"Okay, thank you, gentlemen. You may take your seat," our Professor told them.
Is it just the first day that they are late right away? They are rich, they can do whatever they want. So the one who looks like a British boy is Stenard Levine Buenaflor. He looks cute but you can see on his face that he is a playboy. The next one is Jeriel Rohan Dizon. He looks like a Korean. Okay, he's cute too but a quiet one. And the last one is Jenthrix Izumi Tyson, he looks like a Japanese like me.
I turned to my right side because someone suddenly sat down, I saw Jenthrix next to me and Jeriel next to him. Stenard sat on the only vacant seat on the other group of chair.
Sorry for them. I go first and you can sit anywhere you want. Suddenly, my eyes and Jenthrix eyes met. I can see his dark brown eyes. But I immediately averted my gaze. If I were going to describe him, I would just say one word, he is PERFECT. But I still do not know his behaviour. He is perfect in his physical attribute, but I do not know if his attitude is also perfect.
"Hi, Miss?" I was surprised because Stenard suddenly spoke behind me.
Wait? When else has he been behind me? When I look at the front, our Professor is not there. I didn't notice that she leaves the room already. I looked at Stenard again who was still smiling.
"Hi, I'm Natsumi." I said while smiling at him.
"Wow, what a beautiful name. it would have been better if you had said your full name." he said, still flattering. It is natural for men to flatter women.
"Haha. Okay. Natsumi Miyuki Ree Harakazumi is my full name." I told him.
"Wow! I knew it, you have a beautiful name. Haha. By the way, I'm Stenard Levine Buenaflor, nice to meet you." He said as he reached out his hand.
"Nice to meet you too." I held out my hand to him to shake hands.
"So, Miree."
Where did that name come from?
"Miree? Who's Miree?" I asked Stenard.
"You. From now on, I will call you Miree. Short for Miyuki Ree. Your name is too long. Is that okay with you?" so that's me. I thought it was the person next to me.
"Yup." Someone give me a nickname. No one dares to call me in another name, except for this man.
"Stenard." Someone called Stenard. He turned around.
"Why are you talking to her?"
"Why, Jenthrix? What's wrong if I talk to her?"
"Because she sat in your rightful place." Jenthrix said.
Oh, is that so? I thought it was something. Since I sat in Stenard's 'supposed' position, he sid that he shouldn't talk to me anymore? My Ghad! He's acting like a child.
For real?! Is that how Jenthrix thinks?
"Excuse me? Does this chair belong to you?" I have already entered their conversation.
"Yes, so you have no right to sit there." Jenthrix said.
"All I know is that it belongs to the school. So, I can sit wherever I want. Do you have a name for the seats here so can say that I have no right to it?" I said sarcastically.
None of my own told him. I find him interesting.
"What did you say?!"
"Nothing, I said that you're handsome but a deaf one." I said.
"Are you teasing me?" Jenthrix's face was already red.
"No, maybe disturbing?" I said sarcastically.
"Get ready tomorrow." He says.
"Why? Is there a party tomorrow? Are you inviting me?"
"STUPID! YOU WILL BE A DEAD MEAT TOMORROW." His voice is a bit louder but he can control so only the four of us can hear and Stenard? He just stood there, just looking at us, holding back a laugh.
"Okay." I just said that but obviously Jenthrix was even more annoyed.
Well, our next Professor arrived. After two subjects, I left my room because it was lunch time. All freshmen have three hours vacant. It was just first day of school. Since I had nothing to do at school, I just went home.
As soon as I got out of the car, my butler and other maids met me.
"Welcome back, Your Highness." They all bowed at the same time. I was embarrassed when they called me 'Your Highness', but I could do nothing.
"Thank you. Call Alexis right away. Tell her that I'm here at home and we're leaving, please also bring Natsu here." I said coldy.
"Yes, Your Highness." And we went inside. Every time the school start, I stop here in our house. When I don't have schooling I went to the condo and stop there. I went straight to my room.
I miss my room. I turned on the light, hmm clean, they don't really neglect cleaning my room. I put my stuff on the black leather couch first. I immediately went straight to the bathroom to take a shower.
I spent a long time bathing, thinking. I still have a lot of work to finish.
After taking a bath, I went straight to two huge cabinets/closets.
The first closet contains jackets, leggings, shorts (the 3 inches above the knee short) short-sleeves, shirt and pants. Five of my leather jackets are from different countries. Those jackets are just fit for me and they are all black. My shirts are more on black and white as well as t-shirts and short-sleeves. Other colours are rare.
The second one contains, err dresses, doll shoes, boots (all black) and different coloured high heels. I only wear it once when there are events. I wear almost leather jackets, shirts, and shorts everyday even today. I finished getting ready and Alexis arrived just in time.
"You're home already? If I'm not mistaken, your classes supposedly end around four pm?" Alexis said to me as I went downstairs to the living room.
"Three hours vacant and I have nothing to do at school." I answered with a cold tone and she nodded.
"Something happened, right?" she seemed to noticed my mood.
"I'll tell you tomorrow. I'm not in the mood to talk about it. Shall we go?"
"After you, Your Highness." She said while restraining her laughter.
I just rolled my eyes on her.
After National Book Store, we went to the boutique. I bought a dress for Alexis and then I also bought mine, because I have something to do with it. Next to the Shoe Store, and we went to many more. We also ate at one of the restaurants there.
It was night when we left the mall. We spent a lot of time at the mall. We already watched two movies. When we got home, I sent everything we bought to the maid. I went straight to my room. I took a shower and got dressed. It's too tiring and I fell asleep.

So, his name is Jenthrix. Not common, he still stares at me. I just sit here and looking at them. 

"Okay, thank you, gentlemen. You may take your seat," our Professor told them. 

Is it just the first day that they are late right away? They are rich, they can do whatever they want. So the one who looks like a British boy is Stenard Levine Buenaflor. He looks cute but you can see on his face that he is a playboy. The next one is Jeriel Rohan Dizon. He looks like a Korean. Okay, he’s cute too but a quiet one. And the last one is Jenthrix Izumi Tyson, he looks like a Japanese like me. 

I turned to my right side because someone suddenly sat down, I saw Jenthrix next to me and Jeriel next to him. Stenard sat on the only vacant seat on the other group of chairs. 

Sorry for them. I go first and you can sit anywhere you want. Suddenly, my eyes and Jenthrix eyes met. I can see his dark brown eyes. But I immediately averted my gaze. If I were going to describe him, I would just say one word, he is PERFECT. But I still do not know his behavior. He is perfect in his physical attribute, but I do not know if his attitude is also perfect. 

“Hi, Miss?” I was surprised because Stenard suddenly spoke behind me. 

Wait? When else has he been behind me? When I look at the front, our Professor is not there. I didn’t notice that she leaves the room already. I looked at Stenard again who was still smiling. 

“Hi, I’m Natsumi.” I said while smiling at him. 

“Wow, what a beautiful name. it would have been better if you had said your full name,” he said, still flattering. It is natural for men to flatter women. 

“Haha. Okay. Natsumi Miyuki Ree Harakazumi is my full name.” I told him. 

“Wow! I knew it, you have a beautiful name. Haha. By the way, I’m Stenard Levine Buenaflor, nice to meet you.” He said as he reached out his hand. 

“Nice to meet you too.” I held out my hand to him to shake hands. 

“So, Miree.” 

Where did that name come from? 

“Miree? Who’s Miree?” I asked Stenard. 

“You. From now on, I will call you Miree. Short for Miyuki Ree. Your name is too long. Is that okay with you?” so that’s me. I thought it was the person next to me. 

“Yup.” Someone give me a nickname. No one dares to call me in another name, except for this man. 

“Stenard.” Someone called Stenard. He turned around. 

“Why are you talking to her?” 

“Why, Jenthrix? What’s wrong if I talk to her?” 

“Because she sat in your rightful place,” Jenthrix said. 

Oh, is that so? I thought it was something. Since I sat in Stenard’s ‘supposed’ position, he said that he shouldn’t talk to me anymore? My God! He’s acting like a child. 

For real?! Is that how Jenthrix thinks? 

“Excuse me? Does this chair belong to you?” I have already entered their conversation. 

“Yes, so you have no right to sit there,” Jenthrix said. 

“All I know is that it belongs to the school. So, I can sit wherever I want. Do you have a name for the seats here so can say that I have no right to it?” I said sarcastically. 

None of my own told him. I find him interesting. 

“What did you say?!” 

“Nothing, I said that you’re handsome but a deaf one,” I said. 

“Are you teasing me?” Jenthrix’s face was already red. 

“No, maybe disturbing?” I said sarcastically. 

“Get ready tomorrow.” He says. 

“Why? Is there a party tomorrow? Are you inviting me?” 

“STUPID! YOU WILL BE A DEAD MEAT TOMORROW.” His voice is a bit louder but he can control so only the four of us can hear and Stenard? He stood there, just looking at us, holding back a laugh. 

“Okay.” I just said that but obviously, Jenthrix was even more annoyed. 

Well, our next Professor arrived. After two subjects, I left my room because it was lunchtime. All freshmen have three hours vacant. It was just the first day of school. Since I had nothing to do at school, I just went home. 

As soon as I got out of the car, my butler and other maids met me. 

“Welcome back, Your Highness.” They all bowed at the same time. I was embarrassed when they called me ‘Your Highness’, but I could do nothing. 

“Thank you. Call Alexis right away. Tell her that I’m here at home and we’re leaving, please also bring Natsu here.” I said coldly. 

“Yes, Your Highness.” And we went inside. Every time school starts, I stop here in our house. When I don’t have schooling I went to the condo and stop there. I went straight to my room. 

I miss my room. I turned on the light, hmm clean, they don’t neglect cleaning my room. I put my stuff on the black leather couch first. I immediately went straight to the bathroom to take a shower. 

I spent a long time bathing, thinking. I still have a lot of work to finish. 

After taking a bath, I went straight to two huge cabinets/closets. 

The first closet contains jackets, leggings, shorts (the 3 inches above the knee short) short-sleeves, shirts, and pants. Five of my leather jackets are from different countries. Those jackets are just fit for me and they are all black. My shirts are more in black and white as well as t-shirts and short-sleeves. Other colors are rare. 

The second one contains, err dresses, doll shoes, boots (all black), and different colored high heels. I only wear it once when there are events. I wear almost leather jackets, shirts, and shorts every day even today. I finished getting ready and Alexis arrived just in time. 

“You’re home already? If I’m not mistaken, your classes supposedly end around four pm?” Alexis said to me as I went downstairs to the living room. 

“Three hours vacant and I have nothing to do at school,” I answered with a cold tone and she nodded. 

“Something happened, right?” she seemed to noticed my mood. 

“I’ll tell you tomorrow. I’m not in the mood to talk about it. Shall we go?” 

“After you, Your Highness.” She said while restraining her laughter. 

I just rolled my eyes at her. 

After National Book Store, we went to the boutique. I bought a dress for Alexis and then I also bought mine, because I have something to do with it. Next to the Shoe Store, and we went to many more. We also ate at one of the restaurants there. 

It was night when we left the mall. We spent a lot of time at the mall. We already watched two movies. When we got home, I sent everything we bought to the maid. I went straight to my room. I took a shower and got dressed. It’s too tiring and I fell asleep. 

 


You can only see the tough, fierce and cold hearted person. But behind that mask is a princess who has been dying to be free in her royal life.

Natsumi, not your typical ordinary girl. She believes that everyone has a secret, even she has her secrets. She can't give easily her trust to others, especially when that person is a stranger to her. Has a desire to live her own life but can't do it because of the consequences that it gives.

The morning was cold and cloudy I slept in it was 11:30 but good thing it was the weekend but tomorrow is school and I better not sleep in tomorrow. I sat on my bed thinking about the good old days when Emily was around like that time when my aunt and uncle came to Willow falls because my aunt loved the show Twin rivers and it was filmed here. When she was here she saw Willow falls which is the water fall from the intro of the show and took a ride on the old train at the old train station that took you around the town. And a another time in the summer when we walked down to the river to swim we had a lot of fun but we don't go there anymore because that's also where Emily died, me and Emily went to the river I was supposed to watch her and I did but I decided to read a book when was in the middle of reading Emily got her foot stuck on a rock and she cried for help I looked up and saw her drowning I ran into the river looking for her then I found her under the water and I tried to get her unstuck and when I finally did it was too late.


"Samantha! Issac! breakfast" my mom called out interrupting my train of thought I walked out of my bedroom and went down the stairs and sat at the table and started eating my toast and bacon. My mom instead of sitting at the table and eating food she just walked up to her room and shut the door. Then my dad said "The death of Emily has been really hard on your mother, well its been hard on all of us but sooner or later everything will be better." "ok dad" After breakfast I asked if we could take a walk and my dad said yes if I bring my brother after I asked and he said yes we got dressed to take a walk down the trail in the forest, as we walked the cold wind blew through my long blond hair and then I turned around and Issac was gone "Issac!" I called "Issac! where are you!?" I started getting worried I ran around the woods then I bumped into Issac "Issac why did you wander off?" "I was going to the river" he said "there's no river around here and whats that book in your hand?."I asked "Oh its nothing lets just keep walking." "alright". After a couple more hours of walking the trail reached to a end and we headed back. When we got to our house we took off our jackets and hung them on the hook and we saw mom laying her head on the counter with a bottle of wine next to her. We carried mom to her bed and let her rest lately mom has been developing a drinking habit and we want her to break it but she won't listen.After we put her in bed we looked at the clock and it said 2:30 pm so we were gone for two hours and dinner will start in 2 hours and 30 minutes.


A few hours later mom woke up and started making dinner, I was reading a book and my brother was also reading some sort of book he found that he refused to tell me what it is no matter how many times I asked him in his room. A half a hour later dinner was ready we ate dinner then did our bedtime thing and went to bed.

16 year old Samantha and her family are grieving over the death of her 8 year old sister Emily.Ever since the death of Emily her brother is acting strange and shes trying find out why...
