A dark brown-haired girl with olive skin tone and hazel eyes, holding a box moving towards her new hillside home. Her father calls her out and asks her, " Ivy, take your stuff and start to unpack it in your room. Tomorrow, you have to go to college". "Yes, Dad", said Ivy.
After a while, Ivy's dad called her to play basketball in the backyard. " Well, What do you think about the new house", asked Ivy's dad. She replied," Umm, it is an old house, but it is great". Ivy's dad said, " It doesn't look old, does it?"." Well it doesn't", She said.
Ivy's mom called them back into the house to help in the living room. But Ivy requested to play more and her mom agreed. After a while, when Ivy and her dad were tired and were playing their last match, their ball accidentally went down the hill and hit a cactus, making it useful.
Ivy's dad said, " Here, Our only time spending activity is doomed". " Well, let's just go to Mom and help her", said Ivy. Both agreed and left.
On the same night, Ivy was looking at her room, which looked like her dream room. Ivy was so mesmerised, that she tripped on the boxes. Soon, Ivy's phone starts to ring. She gets up and checks her phone. The phone number was unknown, so Ivy ignored it and slept.
The next day, Ivy was all packed up for college and was ready to leave when she got a call from the same number. She ignored it again and left for college. She arrives at the college, sits in her seat and waits for her friends. Ivy waited for a long time but her friends didn't arrive and then the first class started. Ivy was quite surprised that all of her friends didn't arrive.
More time passed and then in between her friends arrived one by one. First her Best friend, Grace, second was Olivia and Third was Mia. The professor asked all three to present their excuse and they replied. Mia said, " Her school bus's tyre was punctured". Olivia replied," Her car wasn't working". While Grace said," She was struck in traffic as there was a horrible accident on the road ahead".
The Professor didn't agree with their excuse and accused them of skipping half of the class. Thinking about Ivy, she also didn't agree with them. Ivy thought her friends were outside and enjoying themselves. She was quite angry and sat alone in the cafeteria time. A nerdy boy in her class approached her. He sat in front of her and asked her why she was angry. She rudely replied, " I don't want to talk about it, ok. Adrian ".
Adrian wasn't angry but rather left her alone, thinking that her mood would get better. While Grace walked towards Ivy and told her that she didn't lie and showed her article on her phone released one hour ago. It stated, "A horrible incident occurred near Willson College. A jeep and a truck collided due to mismanagement of the traffic lights. We promise it won't happen again".
Ivy was quite happy that friends didn't lie to her and went home happily. She reaches her home and hugs and greets her mom. She puts her bag and phone in her room and goes to the washroom. Suddenly, her phone started ringing. After a while, Ivy came out and checked her phone for the phone call. When she opened the call records and checked the number. There was no call and all the previous calls by an unknown caller were nowhere to be seen.
Ivy went to the dining table left her phone in her room sat on the chair and her mom gave her food. Her phone started ringing, and she ignored it at first. But when the phone rang the second time, she stood up and walked towards her room. She held the handle of the door and pushed it and then the phone stopped ringing as the battery died out.
