Chapter 1

“Where I’m I?” I said to myself, I look around. I’m on a hill with no one around, there was just a big tree with beautiful blossoms next to me. Wow they're so pretty, I thought to myself. I pluck one of the blossoms and touch the soft pink petals, and looked at the tree.

This tree is pretty big, it’s about a story high.

I thought to myself. I start climbing the tree, so I can find a town or at least something. I found myself a branch that will support my weight then, I sat down looking at the beautiful blossoms.

I laugh at myself knowing that I still don’t know where I’m at. Again I stare at the pink blossoms, thinking what I should do.

 “They're beautiful aren’t they, Eve?” a male’s voice said.

I looked next to me. There was a guy around my age. He had black hair that almost covers his face, a well-built body, and wearing a black t-shirt with Levis jeans. His beauty caught my eye and I was literally staring at him.

 “This tree is called a cherry blossom tree, it’s a very beautiful sight when the blossoms blooms.” He said.

 “Who are you and how do you know my name?” I said finally. He looks at me, then he grins and chuckles.

 “I’m just a guy that you will meet soon and might take your life you one day.” he says while wearing a smile on his face still.

I look at him confused and thinking what he means.

 “You didn’t answer my question and what do you mean? Is that supposed to be a joke?” I asked seriously.

He sits down next to me, then says “Both of those answers is a secret, you're lucky enough that I’m telling you this much information.”

Then he stares at the blossoms like he didn’t say anything.

 “What do you mean by that? I don’t get it.” I said to him. He was still staring at the blossoms, then he looks at me with a serious expression.                         “Well then, that means you don’t know anything yet. And it also means that you're still bait to them.” he said.

I was looking at him thinking what the hell was he thinking and saying to me.

 “What the hell are you saying and who’s them? Your keep on saying stuff that I don’t get and why are you saying these things to me?” I said in a negative tone.

He looked at me like he was pissed off than said, “First of all, I don’t like that tone your giving me. It annoys the f**k out of me. Second, I get why you don’t understand but, at the same time I can’t tell deep information. I already told you all that I can and I already gave out too much.”

Wow, he can be f*****g scary. He says something else but, I can’t hear him. I just see his lips move, then my vision gets blurry. What’s happening to me?

My eyes open, I'm in my bed. The sun is at dawn, I look around and everything is the same how it was before. No tree, no scary guy, nothing.

It was that dream again.

Ever since last week I’ve been having the same dream with that guy in it but, whenever I woke up I’ll forget his face.

 “Why do I have to wake myself up at this time?” I said to myself.

I get off my bed, put my blanket around me and walk downstairs to the kitchen. I look in the refrigerator get some eggs, bacon, and milk. Put the stuff on the counter and get flour, baking soda and other stuff from the cupboards. I put the stuff on the counter too, then got myself a bowl and a whisk.

I put the flour, eggs, baking soda, milk and the other ingredients in the bowl. Then I whisk the ingredients made a batter, put the stove on and put the batter on the pan.

I heard footsteps on the stairs and I knew it was my mom.

 “It smells good pumpkin, you’ve been making breakfast and dinner for me since about last week.” she said while hugging me. “Well, I’ve been waking up around five o'clock in the morning, so I thought I could help you a bit” I said to her.

But I really wish that I can stop dreaming about that guy it’s driving me crazy. I crack the eggs on another pan and watch them sizzle. “Thanks for the help pumpkin, I’m gonna take a shower I feel like crap.” she said.

I chuckled then said, “Ok, what time do you want me to wake up Caroline?”

  “Um, around six-fourteen and don’t forget.” she said.

  “Ok, how many units should I give her for her shot?” I said.

Mom gets a towel from the laundry room then said, “15 units, I’m going to take a shower now.”

She left the kitchen, went upstairs and I was here alone.

I could hear nothing but, the eggs cooking. I looked at the pancakes and flip them and put the eggs on a plate.

I looked out of the kitchen window and watch how the sun was slowly coming up. I put the pancakes on a separate plate and put the bacon in the oven.

18 minutes later I took out the bacon and put the bacon on another plate. Then I hear footsteps coming down the stairs, of course its Caroline and her stuffed animal bear. “Hey Eve, what are we having for breakfast?” she said in a tired voice.

  “Could you at least say good morning?” I said while putting the bacon on a plate.

 “We’re having bacon?” she said with a surprised and exciting look on her face.

She takes a piece and says “Ow! It’s freaking hot!”

 “Of course it is stupid, it just came out of the oven. Just throw it in the trash there’s still more.” I said while making her a plate.

Caroline picks up the bacon off the floor and was about to eat it until I said, “What are you doing? That’s been on the floor you know.”

“I know but there’s a 5 second rule and this is my favorite food.” she said.

She puts the bacon in her mouth and chews.

 “You disgust me.” I said then she says “I know.” with her tongue sticking out. Caroline went to the living room, turned on the TV and watching SpongeBob.

So yeah that’s my little sister, age eleven, still acts like a little kid, already has a boyfriend (which I don’t have and I’m sixteen, sad right?) and she’s has diabetes type one.

I’m so lucky I don’t have diabetes cause you pretty much can’t have sweets and you have to take a shot before you eat anything. By anything I mean anything, sucks right?

 “Caroline, go check your blood sugar.” I told her almost yelling across the room.

I put her plate on the table and she came down running with her stuffed bear. “Did you check your blood sugar?” I said to her.

 “Yup. Its 148.” she said while getting the maple syrup and butter from the fridge.

  “Ok, 15 units and do you want any orange juice or milk?” I said.

 “I want milk and I already know the carbs to the milk.” she said while taking her shot.

When she was done eating, mom came to the kitchen and made herself an energy drink.

 “Do you want me to warm up your food?” I said to my mother.

 “Yes please, and thank you.” she replied.

I put her plate in the microwave and I notice she was in a rush for something.

 “What’s the rush?” I said to her, she sighed loudly then said “I’m freaking late for a meeting at work. Just put the food in a bowl for me will you, please.”

I did what I was told and she grabbed her purse then said to me, “I have to go, drop off and pick up Caroline from school. Bye, love you.” She walks towards me and gave me a kiss on the cheek.

Then she walked over to Caroline and give her a kiss on the cheek too.

Now it’s just Caroline and me in the house. I went to Caroline and watch SpongeBob with her and I notice the time, it was 7:14.

 “Hey, let’s get ready for school.” I said to Caroline.

 “Ok, are you going to drop me off?” she said, while getting her backpack ready.

 “Yes, and don’t forget your homework” I said while going upstairs.

I hurried into my room and got my backpack. I looked at my desk, oh s**t. I forgot to do my homework for my social study class.

I was going to do it but, I was tired and I meant to take a nap. But I obviously didn’t. I guess I’ll ask my best friend, Scarlet Armstrong. If she lets me but, I’m ninety-five percent sure she won’t let me. I put my unfinished homework in my backpack anyway and got me car keys, then I walked downstairs.

 “Hurry up, Eve! I’m gonna be late for school and Zack is already waiting for me!” Caroline said while texting on her phone.

“Go in the car then, I have to make myself lunch real quick.” I said, in an annoyed tone.

 “The doors are lock. Oh and, just because I have a boyfriend doesn’t mean you have to be so jealous.” she said with sarcasm.

  “Whatever, can you be useful and start the car.” I said.

 “Ok, ok calm down.” she said, while taking the keys out of my hand. When she went outside, I got myself a Mountain Dew out of the fridge and made myself a Pb&j sandwich.

I hurried outside, went inside my mustang and put the gear in reverse.

This car is like my baby, seriously. Everyone says that I’m rich but, to be honest I’m not. I worked for the money I got and I had a job when I was fourteen, I even saved a hell of a lot of money. I had $258,053 in my savings account and the car only cost about $240,500. Crazy right? Plus, the car was on sale and you really don’t have another chance to see a good running, black, mustang on sale. I still have leftovers in my account, so I’m thinking to get a PlayStation 3. Kinda funny right but, I never really had a game console before. That has cool games.

I drove up to Caroline’s school’s drop-off area and she gets her backpack then says, “You're lucky I got here on time.”

  “You’re lucky I have a car and a heart of a big sister to drop you off.” I said back to her.

 “Ok, good come back. Bye.” she said while getting out of the car.

 “Bye.” I said before she close the door. I drove out of the drop-off area and start driving to my school.

Lucky my school is about a block away from Caroline’s school, because I’m almost late already. I drove around in front of my school to see if there was a parking space. Well, I was lucky enough that there was one. I drove up the parking space, put the gear park and got out of the car with my backpack on my shoulder.

At school I’m not popular or a loser, I even think if people talk about me they’ll say “She’s alright, I guess.” To be honest I don’t really care what people think of me, if they don’t like me then that’s their problem. Scarlet is the popular one. She’s outgoing, smart, funny, has the looks and the list is endless. So Scarlet and I first met in middle school, I was a lone wolf and I guess she notice I needed friends. Ever since second grade, I never had real friends.

I moved a lot because my mom’s boss’s business moves a lot. I really don’t get why the business moves a lot but, whatever. Anyway, at first I thought Scarlet was annoying and a pain in the a*s. I even got mad at her when we were both ten because, she was getting into my diary. We even went through worst fights but, we went through with it.  I was going in the main building, I went through the busy halls, enough though the bell hasn’t rung yet. I went to my locker and got my algebra book.

Then the bell rang.

I saw Scarlet walking through people down the hall and was walking towards me. “Hey, what took you so long to get here?” She said while getting a pencil out of my locker.

“Had to drop off Caroline.” I replied to her.

“But you're usually here early”

“Well, I had a dream and I can’t stop thinking about it.”

“What is it?”

“Nothing much.”

We walked towards our algebra class and when we walked in it was loud, even Mr. Blackburn didn’t mind it. Then I heard a group of girls saying there was a new kid and he was hot. I turned to Scarlet and she was smiling like she got a new boyfriend or something. “Ok, what is it?” I said to her while Mr. Blackburn said to take our seats. “There’s a super-hot guy that transferred and this is his first period.” she said still smiling like a little kid.

“And how’s that so important?” I said while I was getting out my unfinished homework.

“Hey, I thought that I can help you, you know. So you guys can hook up. And don’t even argue with me, you keep telling me ‘I want a boyfriend, it feels like I’m the only chick in the whole school that haven’t got my first boyfriend in my life. ” she said, and yes it’s true I never had a boyfriend in my life. Even though I want one but, at the same time I just forget about it most of the time.

“Whatever, when was the last time you had a date with Simon?”

“About three weeks ago, and he broke up with me.”

“Why?”

“Who cares, he was a douchebag anyway.” Scarlet mumbled, she went out with this one guy named Simon. He was a cool dude and all. But when Scarlet and him were going out, he was getting close to me like, he was interested in me. I thought it was creepy, I told Scarlet about him was just a player and she should leave him. Well, she didn’t listen and took it pretty hard, when Simon did the brake up.

“Hey, well yeah he was. Anyway there’s a lot of guys out there that I hope won’t treat you like crap.”

She smiles and said, “Thanks for the support, best friend.”

When we were done with the special moment, Mr. Blackburn said to the class, “Okay, class quiet down. Has you’ve heard there’s a new student here and even though he’s late. He’s name is Derek Smith, please be polite and welcome him to our school.”

The girls behind Scarlet and I were talking about how lucky they were that they have the same class as Derek. I don’t get why they’re keep talking about him, it’s just a guy.

“Well, speak of the devil. Welcome to class Derek.” Mr. Blackburn said. Derek walked in the classroom, every girl was looking at him. He had black hair that almost covers his face, well-built body, and he wore a black t-shirt with a black jacket, and Levis jeans. Just by looking at him I knew it was him, the same guy in my dreams for the past week.
