Chapter 1

...

"Good morning pops." I greeted my father as I entered the dining room. He was skimming through the news paper with a coffee beside him.

He put down the news paper and smiled at me with his rather attractive face despite his age. Well I actually didn't know his age but I'm sure he is past fifty's. "Good morning Allen. Did you have a good sleep?" He asked then took a sip of his coffee.

"Yep." I beamed and grabbed a sandwich from the table. "Anyway, I had to keep going." I announced as I slumped my bag behind my back.

"This early?" His brows creased.

"Yes. I have to get to school early, finals today." I said and head towards the door of our two story house. "I'll be home by five."

"You should be." He said chuckling.

I smiled. I really like my dad, well step dad but you see he's been as good as a real father to me-or maybe even better.

I'm an adopted child. He said he found me lying unconscious in the forest nearby. As for me, I had no recollection of what happened, I just woke up and saw him tending to me. I was even surprised that I found scrapes and scratches on my body and I have no idea where I got them. But they just disappeared and no trace was left not even a scar.

I have been living with him for five years and as far as I could recall, he has been a great father to me. Although I wonder sometimes why he didn't get married or something. He could have been a wonderful husband.

Well I guess he had his reasons. And I dare not question him.

I went beside the house and took my bicycle which he gave me during my fifteenth birthday.

Since I didn't have any idea of when I was born, we sort of agreed that my new birthday will be the day when he found me. Funny though because I managed to remember my name but I cannot remember other things than that. Well my head might just need some serious banging.

I started to pedal the bicycle out of our large lawn. Well, setting the picture, our house is situated in the treshold of a forest where large trees shed their leaves creating a carpet on the ground.

It really feels wonderful to live here. It is so peaceful making it impossible not to have a good night sleep. And the air, oh nothing smells better.

I finally got out of the vicinity of our house and now heading towards the concrete road when I felt something at my right.

My head tilted instinctively and saw nothing but lush greeneries. I sighed and disregarded the nagging feeling. That place there actually have been intriguing me for quite some time now. Every time I get near the area, I feel something. Like there's someone watching me.

I really want to check it but my father won't allow it for the reason that venturing the forest alone is dangerous. So being the good child, I complied. Although I am really curious.

The journey from the house towards our small high school just took seven minutes or so. I could see familiar faces now as I drove towards the gate. Well everyone looks familiar since you see them everyday given by the size of this school, you could definitely brush shoulders with one another.

I headed at my usual parking spot and ended up regretting it.

"Great." I muttered sarcastically resisting the urge to roll my eyes. Well, I really wanted to start my day wonderfully but how could I when there in a few meters in front of me stood the three person I loathe the most-Brett, Cole and Tyler?
