  It was a sunny day morning, a woman walk by near the lake. She was sitting in the bench while staring at the lake. And suddenly she remembered her past of her most important treasure that she had lost once. A man who made her feel that the world isn’t cruel as it is, that all things were planned by heaven.   

It all started when she was eighteen years old. All of her life she spent most of her time watching, reading and writing stories. She doesn’t really care about what was happening that surrounds on her place. She wants to live a peaceful life. She doesn’t even have close friends to talk with in short she was an introvert type of person.

What was always comes up on her mind was all study, graduate and get a life. She is a bitter type of person. She doesn’t really like love because for her it bothers her studies and it’s a waste of time worrying and being nice or kind.

Currently, she was at the bed reading books more on horror and mystery. Suddenly, someone knock on her door

“Hey Eliz, why aren’t you in uniform? Our school will start at 7:30 hurry up!!.. were gonna be late for sure!” says Ashley.

”Alright, I’m coming” says Elizabeth.

My name is Elizabeth Sue they call me Eliz for short, Ashley was my younger sister. My mother died when I was six because of stomach cancer. My father had a hard time with his work , we spent most of our time rarely because my father is quite busy these days.

“Common ladies, let’s go.. I have still an appointment to attend” says dad.

Well, my dad drove us to go to school. It was first day of school and because I am a new student. I feel somehow shy to look on peoples face.

When I arrived at my classroom I go directly at the back near at the window and sleep but I didn’t close my eyes I was observing the people who were roaming around. Suddenly the bell rang,

“Ok, go to wherever sits you want to sit” the teacher came in after the bell rang.

”I am Miss Susie Remez I am your Math subject teacher I hope we could get along well these semester..”

I could say that I’m not good at math subject but I’m good at the other subjects.

When recess time came, someone suddenly introduce himself to me “Hi” then he smiled.

”Hi I’m Peter Bruce. Whats yours?”.

Well I was so shy that I couldn’t reply. He was really waiting for my reply though, but there are no words that came out on my mouth. I just give him the impression of smile and walk out. I just couldn’t handle the way he stare at me. It’s a good thing that I go out to the room, I saw a library near at the faculty room.

When I get inside the library, it has a very few books but it was good. I read the book entitled “The Phantom of the Opera” by Gaston Leroux. I read the book and it was full of mystery and somehow there was some sort of murder.

”Ringgg!! Ringg!!”

the bell rang and I have to go back to my room. I didn’t finish the story but I’ll be back.  

We were arrange by our adviser to where we will sit, and that will be our permanent sit. And it was so lucky for me because I was near at the window and I’m at the back but unfortunately beside me it was Peter Bruce. In front of me was a girl, I didn’t care about her name because she is too much sassy, sociable and I hate it. You could say that I’m jealous but I’m not it was just annoying for me.

“Hey, I didn’t get to know you. What’s your name?” asked Peter.

My goodness if I have time to escape I should already go out but unfortunately we had class. Skipping classes may put me in danger, well maybe it’s better to behave. I couldn’t reply to him so we were just staring with each other.
