I wake up to the sun shining in my face. I rub my eyes before looking up to find Reena.

''Goodmorning, darling.'' She says while dragging the curtains to one side. 

I look over to the alarm clock, it's 6am. 

''It's 6am, what are you doing?'' I ask frustrated with a raspy morning voice.

''You don't wanna miss the whole day, do you?''

I sigh and roll my eyes. There's one more hour until I have to get ready for school, but I decide not to take this conversation any further since it's 6am!

I put some black tights and a sweater on, might as well be healthy and work out. I skip the breakfast and begin to jog around the neighborhood. It's kind of dark since no one have their lights on since they don't have a ''baby sitter'' who wakes them up at 6am.

I stop a minute to relax and stretch before whispers are heard. I follow the sound and by now, I'm sure they're coming from males.

''Hand me one.'' A raspy voice demands.

I cross the street to follow the voices and I notice that they're coming from the forest. After a couple of minutes of confusion from where the voices are coming from, everything goes quiet. I kind of regret coming here since I'm now pretty far away from home and the sky's darkness has made everything look scary.

As I begin to head back to my house, I feel something brush against my hand. I turn around, a little scared, but it was probably just the wind. As I turn back around, I suddenly feel pain rush through my body starting from my head. I fall down to the ground rubbing my head since it was hurting. 

''What is little Sam doing out here in the woods?'' I can't quite put my finger on where that voice belongs to.

As I look up, my sight is a little blurry but after a couple of seconds, I can clearly see five guys. I smell alcohol which means that they've been drinking. 

The one with the spiky hair comes closer and closer. He dips his head down to my level since I was still sitting on the ground. 

''I told you to watch out.'' He whispers.

Harry is standing behind a brunette almost hiding. He has his hoodie on but a few curls are shown. 

''If you're trying to make me scared, then it's not working.'' I manage to let out, my voice a little shaky.

I seriously wasn't as scared as I thought that I would be. There was something about Harry being there that made me fearless. It was like he was going to protect me in case they would do anything to me.

My eyes dart up to ''the leader'' again when I hear him chuckle. 

''Oh, you will be.'' His voice was dark and cold.

He stands up straight again before disappearing together with the others. I stand up brushing of leaves and dirt from my behind and sweater. My sight is still a little blurry, but I surprise myself when I don't crash into any trees while running back home. 

I immediatly feel the smell of food and it surprises me that Reena actually can cook. I check time and it's 07:15, great I'm going to be late. Again.

...

''Sam!'' I hear a voice behind me.

I turn around and meet Ben's light brown eyes. He's walking towards me and I can't help but to admire his look. His hair moves a bit with the wind and his eyes are shining, even though they are brown. He looks beautiful.

''Yeah-''

''Would you like to go out with me?''

It caught me off guard and I laugh a bit at how much he has been thinking about asking this.
