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 some…"

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.
