Prologue
Year 2008, everybody was busy preparing for the Parent's Day. I was so excited that I would be with my parents again. The sun woke me up when it struck my face. I got dressed up and saw a note slipped through my door.
Meet me at the cemetery.
Penn
I hurriedly went out the dorm. I bumped into Cam. He was wearing his ordinary black suit and his dark golden hair combed neatly.
"Hey Luce! What's with the hurry?"
"Ugh, sorry. I need to meet Penn at the cemetery. She's waiting for me."
"Need company?"
"Nah, thanks. Anyway I really need to go. See you."
I ran to the gate of the cemetery with full strength. I saw a shadow of a girl. At first, I thought she was Penn, but I am wrong. She was Molly, my first ever enemy in this school. I don't have time to approach her, so I ignored her and looked for Penn.
At last, I found her. She was with a guy. I recognized his face; it was Mark, the new encyclopedic kid in school. I can see Todd's features in him. (Todd died because of the fire incident in the library last year.) Penn saw me. She waved at me and I smiled back.
I walked as slowly as I could and reached them quietly.
"Oh, hi Mark! What you are you guys doing?"
"Hi Luce! Well, Penn just wants to talk regarding someā¦"
Penn cut him off. "Luce, I'll catch you later, okay?"
"Oh sure!" I replied.
Since I was out of the dorm, I decide to go to the lake where Daniel and I usually go to. No one was there. All I could hear is the birds' chirp and my ears would explode any minute because of the silence.
I folded my pants and removed my shoes to be able to dip my feet in the water.
I felt arms around me. It was soft as cotton and like hair. I knew it was him. I was right, it was him. His hair touched my cheeks and he whispered three words in my ear.
I love you.
I was shocked. My muscles won't move, I couldn't think and all I heard was his voice. His lips met mine and I had received the sweetest kiss ever.
