More Than A Book

Bev High

Lilette's POV

Mist was everywhere. "What is this place?" I asked with a raised eyebrow. It looked like some kind of a field, but again, there was so much mist... How did I get here in the first place? Wasn't it supposed to be the first day of school, the day after we had moved to Beverly Hills?

I didn't know why, but I had a feeling someone was watching me, wherever I turned, someone's eyes were on me... Who could spy on me like this anyway? Nothing could be seen because of this stupid mist! I started walking forward, not wanting to stay in this place forever.

"Where do you think you're going?" And I quickly turned around to see Mother glaring at me. "Home?" I asked a bit annoyed. "But why Lily? I thought you wanted this to happen!" I turned around to see Uncle Angus smirking at me with his arms folded. "Why would I want to be stuck in mist with no way out?" I asked with a raised eyebrow.

This made no sense at all! Uncle Angus and Mother looked at each other before moving out of the way to reveal... "Hi Lilette! Remember me?" Sam asked smugly while wearing some weird green suit. "What is it with all of you?!" I asked her now a bit angrily, wanting some answers. "You've wanted this, right?" She asked with hands on her hips and a raised eyebrow.

And suddenly, all three of them disappeared. Instead, a pair of dark brown eyes was staring right into mine, but that was the only thing I could see. Only eyes, I couldn't even see who the person was! "You can run, but you can't hide from me. No one can." A male voice responded, and that was when I knew that his eyes were watching me all this time. But before I could ask who he was, everything was filled with even more mist...

I sat up quickly on my new bed and looked around the room, breathing heavily. Thank God that was just a dream! I didn't understand it at all though. Why would I want to be stuck on a field filled with mist? I had a feeling there was more to that. But why was Sam there as well? I just met her last night! What made me wonder as well was who the man from the dream was. And that line...

"You can run but you can't hide from me. No one can." The way he said it, it was like it was almost usual for him to watch people all the time... Sun was rising, so I decided to get up and start getting ready for school. There was no use of trying to get back to sleep anyway! Brushing my dark brown hair, I looked at myself.

Dark brown eyed girl wearing blue trousers and a violet shirt. I had to dress like this at least today because Mother was going to school with me this morning. After that passes, I'll be able to dress how I want. "Lilette Chase, do I dress like that for work?" Mother would comment that if I didn't dress properly for school.

And proper wardrobe was apparently only trousers.... I rolled my eyes in disbelief while still brushing my hair. I just hope I would run into Sam today and her friends she mentioned yesterday... "Morning." Uncle Angus greeted once he saw me sitting down in the dining room and drinking some coffee. "Morning." I responded simply while taking another sip. "So... First day of school!" Uncle Angus sat next to me with a grin.

"Yup." I responded simply while looking at the ceiling with a finger on my chin. I still wanted to try to at least figure out whether there was something else I missed about that voice from the dream... But nothing yet. "Hey, what's the matter?" Uncle asked me with a frown. "Nothing, I just had a bad dream." I waved it off. "So, that girl Sam you met last night attends Bev High?" "Yes!" I responded with a smile to his question.

Then, Mother entered the room and sat down. "Stand up." She told me and I had to resist the urge to roll my eyes. This was one of those moments when she would tell me to stand up so I could pass her 'examination' of whether I was dressed properly or not.... And her icy blue eyes looked at me from head to toe, observing my floral violet shirt, long dark blue trousers and purple shoes, while also looking at my long and let loose hair.

"You can sit down." She finally said and I did so without another word. "We'll leave in ten minutes." "Then I'm going to my room to take my things." I stated and stood up, walking slowly to my room to take my bag and needed things.
