An incident three years ago in Shadybrook occurred when ten girls went missing and only one was found dead. She had unusual markings that seemed uncapable for a human to possess.
Now Ariana is moving into Shadybrook to pursue her dream, but what if...
PREPARE YOURSELF FOR A VERY LONG CHAPTER BECAUSE OH LORD
I go into the school and directly walk over to Amy's locker where she usually hangs out. Once I see her I get near her and in a hushed yet fierce tone I say, "Why the hell did you do that yesterday?"
She plays dumb and answers back, "What are you talking about?"
"You know what I'm talking about. That prank call you did yesterday? Asking for my name and stuff, though it wasn't you because it sounded like a male."
"I never tried to prank you! Once you hung up I tried calling back but-well I knocked out. Hella sleepy girl." She looks back at me and somehow I trust her.
"Fine. But if you didn't prank call me than who did?" I ask wanting a reasonable answer but knowing I'll get none.
"Probably it was a prank, swear it wasn't from me, but maybe it was." We both randomly start walking in sync to God knows where.
"But they were looking for me." I inform her hushed.
"What do you mean?" She looks at me with a confused look.
"I told you, they were asking for 'Ariana' and I thought that you quickly set someone to scare me." Shivers run down my spine, the voice intimidating my head.
"I only prank call people I don't like. They end up blocking my number but it's fun while it lasts." She sighs and laughs a little after and so do I.
"You sure it wasn't you? I won't be mad, for real." I look her in the eyes, she smiles back.
"Yes, it wasn't me. Promise."

It was lunch already but as the second day I had no one to hang out with. I tried finding Amy throughout half the campus but with no luck I decide to call her. I bring the phone up to my ear and go by a near wall to lean against it. It rings and Amy answers, "Amy? Where are you?"
"Ari! I'm in the garden. Nearby the school fountain. The one in the center of the school."
"Uhhh, I guess. I don't know where though. Sort of forgot but I'll find my way." I hung up before she even replied. I started walking but instantly got lost. I kept walking, looking back and forth until I bumped into someone's chest. "Oh I'm so sorry." I look up at the person. Just a few inches taller than me. He looks very nice, his hair slightly messy but it suits him.

"It's fine. Nothing really." He says back, his voice calm and low. He gets a good look at me and says, "Hey you seem familiar. Do you have foreign language as first period?"
"No."
"Damn." And that makes us both laugh. "Wait, I think you're in my chemistry class, seventh period. Ariana, right?" He has a smirk knowing he's right.
