I barely slept. Two of the images were right. I was allergic to sardines and the dog called Night did exist. What if all the images were predictions? I still didn't believe in magic but I was sur predictions could be explained by science. So I decided to study them.

The book Taylor was destroying was called ''Difficult goodbye". It was the name of a book I wrote. I loved reading as much as writing and this book was really important for me. I finished it not long ago and my dream was to publish it. Why would Taylor destroy my book? That means I will publish it right? That thought made me so happy but the reaction of Taylor made me wonder... Does that mean she will not support me? Will she be jealous? What was I saying? Taylor was my best friend. She would be the first one to buy my book! I preferred not to take this image lightly.

Who was the man on the fourth image? he was tall and wore a suit. His eyes reminded me something... But the address he gave me did not remind me of anything.

At least. I was the queen of the Prom. I didn't want to register... Caleb was holding my hand and I was sur he was my boyfriend on this image. But I was with Taner!

I decided I thought enough and I dressed.

Someone was waiting for me in front of my house

Someone was waiting for me in front of my house. Caleb. He straightened up when he saw me and he started walking next to me.

"What are you doing here?I asked.

-Yesterday I followed you when you escaped.

-Why?

-So I can ask you your name.

-My name is Samantha but everyone calles me Sam.

-Nice to meet you Sam. My name is Caleb.

-Everyone knows what's your name.

-I didn't know I was that popular...

-It's a big city but people enjoy to gossip.

-What do you know about me?

-Your name is Caleb. No one knows where you're from but I know you bought the villa on the hill. You're not going to Hight School and you are in the biker gang.

-Is that all?

-Yep.

-I know some things about you too.

-Really?

-You are ready to help the person in need. If someone attacks you, you defend yourself very well. You are going to High School. You are impulsive, funy and beautiful."

I blushed.

"Thank you..."

The motorcycle noise interrupted us.

"Sorry I have to go. See you soon Sam!"

I liked Caleb. As a friend of course. He was really nice and it was so easy to talk to him. I didn't think he was like that. I thought he was like the other bikers. Uppish, coarse, rude...


I was talking with Taylor and Tara when someone bumped into me. It was Jessica. She was shorter than me and had beautiful green eyes. Now that she had washed her hair, I really liked their new colour.


"Look where you're going!scolded Taylor.

-Sorry...spluttered Jessica.

-Look at her hair! What are you? A unicorn?laughed Tara.

-That's so funy!agreed Taylor."


Taylor took out her phone and took a picture of poor Jessica.


"I will send this to everyone!she threatened."


Jessica didn't dare to move.


"Come on girls... Don't you think it's a little too much?I asked. She didn't do anything."


Jessica breathed relieved and smiled at me before leaving. This dragged me bad glances from my friends.


"Why did you do that?asked Tara.

-Come on Sam! You know us! You know we would never hurt someone. I was just joking.

-Sorry... I believed it...

-Silly!

-Taylor?I asked suddenly.

-Yes?

-You know I love writing?

-Forever!

-You know the book I told you I had finished?

-You should send it to me so I can read it!

-Really?

-Yes! I asked you to send it to me two weeks ago!

-Sorry I always forgot...

-No problem.

-But... You know it would be my dream to publish it...

-And you will! Trust me!"


I felt so bad. How could I doubt in my best friend?


Back to my room, I logged on Facebook on the computer. I had two friend requests. A girl from my math class and Caleb. The fact that he added me made me very weird. I wouldn't have seen him adding people on social network. I wouldn't have seen him having friends in fact. As for me, he was a lone wolf. I was not surprised to see that his account was public and he had one thousand friends. He was good looking after all. On his page there was only one photo of him. A picture taken by someone else. He was kneeling in the sand and was looking at the camera. He was wearing white t-shirt and jeans. I accepted his request. My profil picture was a simple selfie. I felt really not original next to him.


I had a nightmare that night and I could not go back to sleep. I tried to count the sheeps without success. I finally got up and read one hour. I tried to sleep again but I was fully awake so I just layed in bed staring at the wall. At the beginning I thought I had a song in my head but then I realized that this sweet melody came from the outside. I approached my window that I oppened and for a few minutes I let myself be rocked by the music. I didn't know what magic power this tune had but I got tired. I went back to bed without closing my window and fall into a deep sleep.
