About a year ago Lena's dad left for a fishing trip and he hasn't returned.

In present day, Lena still goes to school and still hopes that her dad comes home soon.

"Hey bestie what's up?" Said Allison as she ran up to Lena to hug her.

"Same old same old." Said Lena with a sigh.

"Come on when the time is right your dad will come back and give you a great big hug and say ive missed you so so much." Said Allison with big hand motions.

"I guess." Whispered Lena.

"YOU GUESS!!" Screamed Allison. "YOU CANT GUESS, YOU KNOW, AND IF I SAY SO, I KNOW AND YOU KNOW ITS TRUE!

"Ok ok stop shouting!" Yelled Lena.

Lena and Allison(Allie) went upstairs to their first couple of classes together.

After about three or so, it was time for lunch, the best part of the school day besides going home.

"I heard that the watchover is back and has a big plan for someone."

"I heard that he planed it for Lena."

"Who's planning what for who now?" Said Allie budding in again.

"There's a rumor going around about the watchover coming back and haunting Lena."

"Just because it's a rumor doesn't mean it's true!" Yelled Allie.

"Allie calm down, you don't need to bud into everything." Whispered Lena.

"Uh." Allie rolled her eyes.

After lunch Lena had a few more classes before she could go home and talk to her dad, where ever he is.

"Oh honey, your home early." Said Lena's mom.

"Yeah, club got cancelled because of the rain." Said Lena dropping off her backpack.

"LENA YOUR HOME!!!" Screamed Toby, running down the stairs and almost tripping, twice.

"Hey Toby!" Said Lena.

"Want to play cars with me?" Said Toby.

"I'm sorry, I can't right now I have homework." Said Lena.

"Can I help?" Asked Toby.

"You can if you know anything about algebra, advanced chemistry, bilingual cultures, or English language arts." Said Lena.

Toby stood there and blinked a few times and Lena rubbed his head as she went to her room.

Lena did her homework and by the time she was done it was time four dinner.

"LENA, TOBY, SUPPER!" Yelled Lena's mom up the stairs.

"COMING MOM!" Yelled Lena.

Lena ran down the stairs and sat down at the table Ayer getting her food.

"So, anything happen at school today?" Asked Lena's mom.

"Well, I think Atlas was sick cause I didn't see him at all. Plus I heard that some girls heard a rumor about the watchover whoever he is." Said Lena stuffing her face with mashed potatoes.

"Did you say the watchover?" Asked Lena's mom immediately stopping.

"Yeah, so?" Replied Lena.

"Um, I need to go make a phone call." Lena's mom got up and quickly ran up the stairs.

Lena and Toby looked at each other, nodded and quietly walked upstairs to where their mom was.

"She knows." Whispered Lena's mom.

...

"But what if she finds out more?" Whispered Lena's mom slightly louder.

...

"Fine if that's what you want." Then she hung up the phone.

Lena and Toby ran down the stairs as fast as they could without their mom finding out.

"Who were you on the phone with?" Asked Toby.

Lena stepped on Toby's foot as soon as he asked that question and Toby hit her back.

"Nobody important." Said Lena's mom.

After dinner Lena and Toby ran up to their room while their mom cleaned up the table.

Text to Allie: my mom knows something but I don't know what.

Text to Lena: just leave her alone and she will tell you eventually.

Text to Allie: it's not that easy, I think it's about the watchover.

Text to Lena: watchover smotchover don't worry about it.

Text to Allie: thanks Allie that helped a lot.

Text to Lena: no problem.

Lena took a few deep breathes and fell asleep.
