Summer was pretty boring for Hallow.... Just a lot of sitting around. Her sister and her friends were away for a cheer camp trip most of the time. Her parents tried to get her to join as well but she just wasn't interested in that stuff.

Her older brother was also gone on a football camp trip with his team.. So that just left her and her parents and they weren't exactly on good terms.

She did have practice, which she always lied to her parents and said she was hanging out with a friend from school.... Well it was partially true she was hanging out with her team... if you can call it that. But the truth is she didn't think her parents would be ok with ehr on the fencing team, they might say it's a boy sport... like a lot of things she likes.

Probably the best part of her summer was her birthday... her parents spent most of the day facetime Willow sense it's her birthday too but she didn't care... well she sort of did but they never paid any attention to her anyway so it was normal. But the rest of the fencing people celebrated with her.... She felt really happy to be with them. They're really her friends, they care about her.

Though the start of school because summer was boring. School was something being a Freshman and starting high school..... But still benign in the same building.

"So how was summer," April, one of her and Willow's friends, asked. Hallow been friends with her and Brooke

"It was good," Willow said. "Cheer camp was amazing wasn't it?"

"Yeah it was too bad we weren't in the same group." Brooke said.

"Guys I'm right here.." Hallow said.

"Sorry.."

"You can just call us girls, you know.." Willow said.

"I know.." she spotted Ahser wavering to her. "I got to go see you gu- sorry girls later."

"Bye..."

She ran over to Asher trying to get him to slow down. He just quickly stead walked in front of her.

"Hey Asher, not funny," she said.

"Sorry," he chuckled and slowed down. "So how are you?"

"Good, mostly excited to be out of the house more often."

"Don't like your siblings?" he guessed.

"Sort of...."

"Well that's ok if you need me you can alway talk to me about it."

"Thanks." she knew she could trust his word... her friend from the other group never really understood. She felt like she could trust Asher.

"So we don't have practice this week but next monday."

"I know I was there." she rolled her eyes.

"Hey be nice." he said playfully, hitting her on the arm.

"I am!"

He bell rang tell them they had 5 minutes to get to their next class.

"Ugh stuiped beel." she ground.

"Heh see you later i guess."

"Yeah.."

She ran down the hall trying to find her next class.... Which was boring. The only break she got was lunch. She wanted to sit down with Asher and a few other fencing boys but her sister found her and waved her down.

"Hey.." she sighed and sat down.

"Hi." Brooke said."So where were you? You kind of ditched us in the hall."

"Sorry.. I just thought I saw someone I knew..."

"From what?"

"Over the summer... you guys went around so I tried to make friends."

"Did it work?"

"Sort of..." she didn't know what to say.

"You'll have to introduce me to them. I'll see if they're a good fit for you." April said.

"Thanks.."

"Question.. Did you find anyone that you love?" Willow asked.

"No, of course not." she said.

"Fine..."

Lunch went on like this fro a while more and then at the end of the day she was waiting for her mom to come... she was also picking us everyone else.

But anyway she was watching the cars when she noticed a man sitting on the bench across the road.

He was staring at her... or what she thought he had blck sunglasses on... and it's raining. Why would he do that?

Though Hollow couldn't help but notice he looked firmaller... he was wearing a black hood though she could see black hair though he hood and his pale skin... he looked kinda like the person in her dream....

She stood and and instantly started walking home. She didn't care if her mom would yell at her.

'I'm going crazy, it's just a dream, not really' she thought to herself... and started down the road home. She wasn't waiting for her parents.

"It took her a bit to get home seeing as it was a little far away but with her running home scared that he was going to follow her it tool took her 35 minutes

"Hallow where were you?" her mother asked the moment she stepped inside.

she couldn't tell her the truth... she could say she's crazy again.

"I thought that it would be nice to walk home today, first day thing."

"It's raining."

"But still not that cold."

"Just go change April's mom is coming over to discuss stuff with me and you need to look your best.

Hallow headed up to her room sighing. Her mother loved to meet up with people. Every time she alway has to dress and do makeup. she hated that stuff... well she didn't' mind make up also as long as it looked normal. but she hated dresses.

Willow was already up in her room dressed nicely in a light pink dress and had her blond hair half up and in curls. She had nice jewelry on. She looked very nice.

"What are you going to wear?" she asked Hallow.

"Probably that blakc dress."

"Mom hates it, she says the color is for funerals."

"It's still a dress she should be glad I'm wearing it."

"I know..."

"So how was your day?" she asked, trying to change the conversation.

"Fine... yours"

"Good." she started to brush though Hallow hair she left it down but Willow would have preferred it up. Willow quickly did Hallow make up, once she was satisfied she started down stairs.
"Well then," Hallow said to herself. "Let's go."

'Put up a fake act for mom.'

"Hallow Look at this..."

"It's Shangri...nevermind it's Hallow"

"Yeah but look at this book."

"What about it, Willow?"

"The person right there has red eyes. It's creepy but cool."

"I know someone one with red eyes."

"You do? Can I meet them?"

"If I can find them."

"Ok thank you little sissy. It would be so cool to meet someone with red eyes."

"You're welcome."
