Present Day
In a small town called New Beginning, where the population ranges around 8000, nothing exciting ever happens for 18 year old senior Greg Lohum, it was his first day of senior year yet as the sun broke through the curtains and lit up his room, he crawled to the corner of the room where the light was dim and tried to carry on sleeping when his mother opened the door with a cup of water in her hand, not hesitating she walked up to where lay and emptied the contents of the cup, shocked by the sudden cold Greg cursed and sat up only to recieved a slap to his right cheek that sent the tiredness out one ear.
"You better get up before I pull out your father's baseball bat!" came Jane Gorish voice, his mother a woman who would start world war three with anyone for the smallest of reasons, she had come to be known as "mother temper" that should be enough to tell anyone to back away from her unless they're willing to go on hours on a verbal battle, this has made her a fierce force in the courtroom, she was a divorce lawyer working out of the local firm, there was one or two events that saw her take a swing at whoever threatened her, Greg always suspected that was part of the reason his father left not that that bothers him anymore.
"Mom please its just six in the morning..." silently begging that was enough for her to leave him alone, but knowing his mother that wasnt going to happen,
"Six ah!! Do you know what time I had to wake up to go to school?!" knowing the answer Greg indicated with his four fingers,
"Exactly boy! You got ten minutes or you walking to school with no breakfast!" and slammed the door as she made her exit,

After the usual grooming of the morning Greg put on his favourite blue jeans and a white round neck shirt, threw his red and yellow uniform on his shoulder and walked down stairs. Greg lived alone with his mom with no siblings except a dashhund named 'Lex'. Dropping on a chair and started applying jam on a toast, Mrs Gorish poured him a cup of chocolate, though eighteen Greg never aquired the taste for coffee so he stuck to chocolate.

After munching down four more slices and the cup of chocolate, Greg insisted on walking to school. His mother tooted the horn, gave the right signal and wheeled the BMW out of the driveway and onto the street, Greg watched as she made the next turn before continued on walking, the school wasnt far, a twenty minute atleast, he check his lexus watch which belong to his father, the time was jist past seven giving him enough time to get there.

The whole day started off with the normal routine of the first day of school, the assembly, the pledge, catching up with his best friend Julian who had spent his holiday with his mother at the lake inn known as 'Lake Watchers', hearing his friend going on about how cool it was, the diving, the boat rides the fishing. But the highlight of the day came after third period, when new students were introduced and than the official class introductions that started from the first desk to the last.
As third period bell went Mrs Maybel gestured for everyone to take their seats, after a few minutes everyone was where they were supposed to be with the exception of the new student, whom the teacher would introduced as they took their seat. First was a boy from the neighbouring town which was three hours drive away, the second a girl named Tabitha Fillih who was new in town, after atleast four others Greg was ready to just drop dead, putting his head on his arms he heard Mrs Maybel say that there was a last student, instantly as if touching a low live current the hair on his hand stood on ends,
"And class last but hopefully" with a shy giggle Mrs Maybel continued, "I welcome you Leya Herfler."
Greg stood his palms turned sweaty in an instant, his throat suddenly deprived of all liquid now extremely thirsty, but worst of all was the rising heartbeat but it wasnt flattery or pleasant, his instincts tell him she was nothing but trouble.
