As soon as the first period was over there was a sudden announcement in the school speaker, "The second session for Junior Class 3 is canceled." Hearing this, almost everyone in the class sighed, which made me wonder, Since when were they fond of math!. "No way! I came to school in spite of this weather only because I completed my math homework!" Ellen said. She has been my best friend ever since pre school. We share a lot of memories together, and she has been by my side ever since, and now she is making paper boats out of math homework and, I was just going to keep staring at her. "What?" She asked, "It's my homework, I can redo it whenever I want, you know." "I didn't say anything!" I giggled. "Alright, come!" She took her paper boat in one hand and held my hand from the other, ran out of the classroom to the ground, she knew exactly where the water would be gathered, she placed the boat in the water and started playing with it.
And in a flash Ellen asked, "Who was that guy at the cafe? Is he new to town too, did you see him?" "I'm not sure." I said, not knowing who she was talking about and the 'new to town' had me wondering, "For how long would this go on!"

East-bore, our town is just a small place where mostly everyone knows each other. It's a peaceful place, I'd say, friendly people all over, no such things as creepy traditions and weird cultures would be seen here. We have an yearly gathering and it is very rare for the police to interfere with any affairs in the town. However, very recently things have been changing, crimes has started to run rampant and new faces are being seen here and there. Some people say that our East-bore is cursed, some say that a group of mafia are going to ruin the town and so on goes the rumors.

With all of these going around, I remembered the incident of the night before. I took out my phone again, to go through those messages. For some reason I found something really uncertain behind that. So many questions piled up my head and I also didn't want to tell Ellen about it for now. However I've got to look into the situation before the day ends.
