Chapter I

Alistair

I was at the park, waiting for him, he said he wanted to meet today I was confused I thought he was at the airport today, does that mean his flight got delayed?

Around five minutes later, I received a text saying his near, I turned around and his lean figure (thanks to football/soccer) and buzz cut hair in the distance.

Once he was in front of me, I greeted him, but I was greeted by silence. The once bubbly attitude that I adored is now gone, different emotions painted on his charming face, with anger and panic being dominant.

"For the last time Siddharth, what the heck is this?! Some sick joke, a prank you're playing on me?!" He screamed at my face, "Look in my eyes and tell me this is a joke" he demanded, while holding the pink scented paper

He scoffed and said the things I know that will leave me scarred for a very long time "Let's end this 'friendship' or whatever it is we had, I never want to see you ever again" with that said he left. I started walking home when the rain poured, great can this day be any more dramatic.

I knew I shouldn't have come here, I should've trusted my gut feeling and declined when he asked me to, my heart was broken, and so does my trust.

I woke up from my slumber, beads of sweat covered my forehead, and my breathing was ragged. I looked around and realized it's quarter to seven, meaning it's still early. I didn't go back to sleep, I know I won't be able to.

It's been a long time since I've had that dream, does this mean something? I don't want to think about it this early in the morning.

So I decided to start my day. I head to the bathroom and took a shower, brushing my teeth after, looking at the mirror I stared at my once colorful hazel eyes, now filled with sadness and fear, shrugging I got dressed and started making breakfast for me and my roommate.

It's still a few days before classes start, so I have a few days to rest and hang out with my roommate, I have a new life now, and he left me when he said he wouldn't, I won't let him affect me.

The day passed by quickly and before I knew it, it was already the start of new school year, I head to my first class, which was English, one of the few classes I shared with my roommate, August. I got there pretty early so I started zoning out, my train of thought was interrupted by August, gesturing in the front.

Before starting the class, Mr. Morris informed us that we will be joined by a new student, specifically from England, as if on cue, the said new student entered the classroom.

The male had brown hair that looked very familiar, it was pushed back, his brown eyes looked the same, his frame got a little bigger. After introducing his self, the teacher gestured for him to go sit down, and there was an empty place right behind August, he's back, my ex best friend is back, I sighed, "This is going to be a long year" I muttered to myself. August replied in the same hushed tone, "Yeah, it will be" we chuckled lowly.

I can feel someone, burning holes in the back of my head, only to find him scowling. I won't let him affect me I reminded myself.
