It was the spring of her 21st year of living. But that year really hits her hard. Or should she say, really hits her quite hard. That beautiful spring season that's suppose to start the year right becomes a reminder of the dreadful days she have to face without him.

Despite the worry starting to clam up to her, Hammie can only glance at her watch as she waits. There's nothing she can do but to wait for him. If she leaves the place without even seeing him, it will be like breaking a promise she made.

But she has reasons to worry, after all. She can't help it. Her boyfriend Stinger is acting weird since last night. He was still the warm person she always know but a part of his actions tells her that something is wrong. Only he chose not to tell her for some reason.

And that's what frustrates Hammie until that day. She heaves a heavy sigh, hoping that it will be enough (or at least helpful) in calming her down. Yesterday, Stinger told her that he'll be meeting her at the place where he confessed his feelings for her. Now that she thinks about it, it's not even their monthsary or their anniversary yet. So it's a question as to why he wants to meet her there.

It's a good thing there's a bench right beside the big tree where they will suppose to meet. At least, it won't be tiring for her to wait while standing. She's not exactly fond of waiting while standing. Though she's wearing sneakers at the time, it's still not a good day for her to stand and wait. Not now that she's really starting to get clammy for waiting even more.

15 minutes...

Hammie can't believe it. 15 minutes have passed and no sign of Stinger anywhere. She tries touching the ground and even the tree inconspiciously despite the lack of possible witness around the area of her doing so in order for her to detect if Stinger is near. But it's no good. She glances at her watch once more.

Great! Now 25 minutes have already passed. It's not suppose to be like this but there's definitely something wrong. Not even a call or a text message from Stinger about the reason why he's late. This has never happened before. He's the most punctual person she ever met in her life.

Once more, Hammie touches the ground. It's her unique ability---to use the earth as the extension of her senses. But the limit she can sense is 1 kilometer in radius from where she's currently at. And within that 1 kilometer radius, there's no sign of Stinger.

Something is definitely wrong. She can't deny that now. No questions asked, she has to go to Stinger's house and know what exactly is going on. That guy doesn't go out often, that's why she's quite confident that he's still at home.

She's about to stand up from where she's sitting and leave the place in a hurry. But Hammie abruptly stops to her tracks as soon as she notices something flying above her.

They're planes. Paper planes. But why will these paper planes exist here? She looks around. There's no sign of anyone playing or even making these paper planes. Now that's weird. Until one thought strikes her.

Could this be... from Stinger? Now that she's looking at these paper planes just above her more clearly, it will make sense if it does belong to Stinger. His ability has something to do with manipulating papers. Maybe it's lame to some, but she'd seen first hand just how destructive those papers can be when used as a weapon---literally and figuratively.

Looking at the sky once more disrupts Hammie's flow of thoughts. Especially when she sees those paper planes smoothly landing on the bench she's sitting a while back. For some reason, staring at those piled-up paper planes makes her nervous. But what does that mean? What can those paper planes possibly hold?
