Chapter 1

I'm in my thoughts. When the teacher explains a subject that I don't like. I thought of something else. Last night I dreamed about a man with blue eyes. He looked at me closely, he said that the time will come soon. Then I woke up. I still don't understand what the dream means. But those blue eyes seemed to hypnotize me. I keep remembering it. The blue eyes were so calm and calm.

"Meghan!" She called me. Makes me stare in shock because of her loud voice. Deafening my ears, it hurts.

"Yes, Ma'am," I replied.

"What are you doing?" She asked me.

"I'm listening to your explanation," I replied. I tried to lie to her. It didn't work.

"My explanation has ended since ten minutes ago," She said. I bowed embarrassed. The lies I told, made me look even more stupid.

"Sorry ma'am," I said. That's the only defense I can say to her.

Mrs. Ester just sighed at my answer. She is a very good teacher. She always took care of me, like this time. She didn't even punish me. I also don't know why she did that. She was always strict with other students in my class.

I packed my things. Put it in my bag. Then I immediately left the classroom. The home bell has been ringing, since fifteen minutes ago. I always come home late. Because I don't like crowds. I don't like walking in a row on a crowded street. I prefer to walk alone. Enjoy everything I see along the way.

When I was walking home, suddenly a man approached me. He wears a dark brown leather jacket, black t-shirt, and dark jeans. He's wearing a hat. I can't see his face.

He gave me a letter, then he ran away behind me. I don't know what he means, I don't understand. I was scared, I ran as fast as I could.

I hit someone. Until I fell. It turns out that she is Mrs. Ester. How is she in front of me? Isn't her house near the school. But at least I was a little relieved. Mrs. Ester asked, "What's up?". I just shook my head. I'm still so shocked by the incident.

"Why are you running so fast?" She asked me.

"There's a man there," I stuttered.

"Who?"

"I don't know, he's really scary me," I said. I'm still a little trembling when I say it.

"I'll take you home," She said.

I nodded in agreement. I'm safe, Mrs. Ester is with me. She will always take care of me. I smiled at her. She also smiled back.

"Why you are here?" I asked her.

"I'm waiting for someone," she replied.

"Who?"

"You don't know him," she replied.

I am quiet. Looks like she doesn't want to answer my question. I kept walking while holding her hand. I have put the letter in my jacket pocket. After I get home, I'll take a look.

Mrs. Esther escorted me to the house.

"Thank you, ma'am," I told her.

"You're welcome, hurry in!" She said.

Then she waved his hand at me, then I replied. I was relieved, I finally got home.

***

My name is Meghan White. I am sixteen years old. In two months, I will be seventeen years old. I went to high school. Now I am in twelfth grade. My parents are named David White and Rebeca White. I'm not a native of Strasbourg City. My parents asked me to move here, a year ago. They always ask me to change places of residence. I don't know the reason.

I go into my room. I put my school bag on the study table. Then I sat on the bed. Take out a sheet of the letter that is in my jacket pocket. The letter looks shabby. The paper is almost brown. It seems was written a long time ago.

The letter turns out to be only three words, be ready Meghan. I was surprised, how did that man know my name? I round my eyes. Strange things just keep happening. The dream is a strange first thing. Then this letter. I feel like I'm being watched.

I immediately save the letter. I don't want my parents to worry about this. I just don't want them asking me to move again. That's annoying for me. Have to adapt to a new environment continuously.

"Meghan," my mother called me.

"Yes, Mom," I replied.

"Get ready soon, we will go to the party," she said.

"Yes mom, I'll be there in fifteen minutes," I replied.

I almost forgot, if today there is a party invitation from one of my father's friends. I prepared quickly. I don't want to disappoint him. I am his only daughter. Then, I have to be elegant for his honor.

The car sped away quickly. I looked out the window. At that time the light was red. The car stopped, I was so shocked. The man looked at me with a sneer.

I feel scared. Why does he look so mad at me? The look in her eyes made me feel scared. Then his car overtook our car. Our car is turning slightly to the right. I heard my dad yelling at him.

"Are you alright?" asked my Dad. He was so worried when he heard my scream.

“I'm fine Dad," I replied.

"Thank God, you're fine," said my dad.

We continued our journey to his friend's house. There were a lot of cars that were neatly lined up in the parking lot.

I got out of the car. Followed by my Daddy and mommy.

"Come in!" invite my mom. I took her hand. I had a bad feeling at that time. Because I saw, the guy's car was also in the line of other cars in the parking lot. I wonder in my mind. Who is he? Why is he also at this party?

I can only hope. I hope this party will go smoothly. And what I was worried about never happened.
