It was almost like you went through the Twilight Zone. It's been a week since you moved to your new place, and there hasn't been an attack since the first day. It was almost like you dreamt the ghost attack because it was so peaceful.

Well, except your grandfather, who saw the tethered boxes and knew something was up. He even saw his trinket boxes open and knew something unnatural happened. It got to the point of putting a cross on every part of the house. Your parents didn't really care, thinking your grandfather was just doing his usual rituals. Your family believed something was out there but didn't really dwell on one thing besides your grandfather. That's why they just let him do his thing.

But this morning, he was doing a bit too much.

"Papa," you whined, "I'm just going to school." You stood in the entrance ready with a white blouse that was loose on the chest but hugged your torso, black jeans with rips at the knees, and black wedges. He was adamant on having you wear a pendant before you left for school. You tried shoving the necklace away, only for him telling you to turn around so he could put it on you. You were going to ignore him and continued to go outside to the used car your parents bought you a few days ago. You insisted you didn't need one and would just walk to school and other places if needed. They countered it and you settled with helping them with errands such as taking Emily to school and more.

Your father heard you from the kitchen table where he was drinking his cup of tea for the morning and looked up to the entrance where you were trying to shake off your grandfather. Your mother was no where to be found since her classes started early morning. Your father's work didn't start until a few more weeks but NASA still kept him busy for his money. He shook his head, "Dad, [Name] will be fine. It's the first day of school. What's the worst that could happen?"

"I just want to make sure my granddaughters are safe and prepared, so I dipped the silver in blood blossom water," he added, "I don't like the feeling of this town you pick, son."

You rolled your eyes already knowing half the truth, and if your grandfather ever really found out, you wouldn't hear the end of it. You spotted Emily holding the straps of her backpack on her shoulders. Her outfit was cute consisting of a pink sweater, light colored capris, and white vans. You saw a similar pendant dangle around her neck, seeing your grandfather has already convinced Emily to wear her necklace. You sighed in surrender as you went over to your grandfather before he starting biting heads with your father.

"Fine," you said with a hand out, "Just give it to me."

The bickering stopped immediately and your grandfather smiled. He handed it to you, and you fumbled with the clasp as you were heading out to the front door with Emily following behind. She hopped in the passenger seat while you in the driver's. You tossed your brown shoulder bag in the back and started the car.

Emily's middle school wasn't far from yours, so when you dropped her off with the courtesy of a goodbye kiss on the cheek, you got to your high school in a matter of minutes. You went to the office to pick up your schedule and locker number since you couldn't do so earlier. The lady behind the desk wasn't nice nor rude, just indifferent. Considering it was the first day of a new year, you weren't surprised that she handled you quickly. In search for you locker, you looked down at your schedule trying to map out the school and when you're able to take breaks at your locker.

While distracted, you bumped into someone. A page slipped out of your hands and onto the floor. Without hesitation, you apologized, "I'm sorry. I wasn't looking where I was going." You scoped up the page from the ground effortlessly. You didn't even look up to who you ran into, knowing whether they stayed or already left.

"I haven't seen you around here before," the person said, "and I definitely would remember a face like yours."

You finally met the pale blue eyes of the blond to see him with a flirtatious smirk. You tried ignoring the remark and his stare. "That's because I'm new in town," you spoke honestly. You figured it wouldn't hurt.
