Chapter One: The Girl in the Red Dress
Caleb couldn't help but notice the astonishingly beautiful girl across the room. Her eyes filled with tears, her cheeks flushed. He wondered what made her so upset. Caleb watched carefully as she pulled what looked to be a tissue from her small purse. She gently tapped around her eyes, carefully making sure she did not smudge her make-up. Caleb narrowed at her eyes. He couldn't help but feel a strange connection, as if he has seen those eyes before. Caleb shook his head in confusion. He's never seen this girl in his life. He tried to focus his attention on other things in the room, but his eyes kept drawing back towards the sad brunette in the red dress.
A sudden group of voices and laughter drew out the crowd. Even though those voices were familiar to him, Caleb kept his focus on the girl.
"Caleb!" Reid called out. Caleb ignored Reid's shouting who by the way was seemingly drunk. Reid slurred and called out again "Ca… Caleb!"
The yelling caught the brunette's attention and looked at the stumbling blonde who was waiting for the bride to throw her garter. Her frown became a slight smile. He couldn't help but feel warm inside when he saw her smile. He couldn't help but be in awe.
Once again, Reid screamed "Caleb!"
Caleb knew if he didn't turn towards him, Reid would continue to yell like a belligerent fool. Finally, Caleb looked at the three boys who were playfully shoving each other out of the way waiting for the garter to be thrown.
Reid gestured at Caleb to come join them. Caleb shook his hand in acknowledgement and worded silently with his mouth "No". Caleb returned his attention back to where the brunette was sitting.
She was gone.
Caleb stood from his seat and began searching the room with his eyes. Though the room was filled with people, Caleb knew he would be able to locate her right away. She was no longer in the banquet hall. Caleb walked through the crowd and headed towards the exit.
Right before Caleb exited; he turned back towards the room that was now empty. In moments, the loud crowded room became empty and silent. Caleb blinked his eyes in amazement. Caleb figured it was the boys playing a prank on him.
"Reid, Tyler, Pogue!" Caleb called out. "If this is a joke… Ha-Ha, very funny." Caleb continued.
Caleb shut the exit door, and began slowly walking back in the empty room. He carefully scanned the banquet hall.
An unanticipated loud bang came from the left side of the wall. Caleb's eyes immediately turned black. Caleb was ready for whatever danger came his way.
Suddenly, a feminine finger tapped his shoulders. Caleb quickly turned around and saw the brunette girl smirking at him. "You seem tense" The brunette girl teased.
Caleb's eyes returned back to its natural state. Caleb watched the girl saunter pass him and seductively turned around. "Caleb Danvers" Caleb said as he stuck out his hand. The brunette shook his hand and responded "I'm Brooke, but I bet you already knew that."
Brooke continued to hold onto Caleb's hand. Caleb looked down at their hands, wondering what is causing Brooke to tightly grip his hand. Caleb looked back up at Brooke in disarray. Brooke's facial expression turned into desperation. "I need your help Caleb. You're the only who can."
Unexpectedly, Brooke disappears, but her voice is echoed throughout the whole room "Caleb… Caleb… Caleb…"
Caleb begins to frantically look around the room but the voice is coming from every direction.
"Caleb… Caleb… Caleb…"
Caleb abruptly sprang up from his bed, sitting upright. Caleb was panting heavily, and his forehead dripping sweat.
"My dear… are you okay?" Evelyn said concerned.
Caleb took a deep breath in, and realized it was a dream. "Yeah, I'm okay mother." Caleb said exhaustingly. "It was just a nightmare."
"You still have nightmares?" Reid said as he barged his way into the bedroom. Pogue and Tyler soon followed after.
"Didn't I tell you boys to wait downstairs?" Evelyn said sternly.
"Sorry, Misses Danvers we heard Caleb yell, so we thought something bad had happen." Pogue said
Evelyn nodded in agreement, and began heading out the door. Before Evelyn closed the door behind her, she said "Caleb you don't want to be late for the first day of school, so I suggest you boys wait downstairs." Evelyn then shut the door behind her.
"Who is it this time, Freddy or Jason?" Reid said jokingly.
Tyler chuckled at Reid's question, as Pogue threw a pillow at Reid. "Are you okay man?" Pogue inquired.
"I'm fine. Don't worry about it." Caleb said reassuringly. "Now, if you guys don't mind I have to get ready for the first day of school." Caleb continued "Unless, Reid wants to stay."
"That's not even funny." Reid said in disgust. Caleb gave one of his charming smiles and began scooting everyone out of his room. Reid continued to be disgusted by Caleb's comment. "My joke was funny, his joke was uncalled for."
"Why are you getting so defense huh Reid?" Pogue continued to poke fun at Reid.
Caleb finally shut the door behind the feuding boys and began dressing up.
Teenage adolescents swarmed from every direction entering the elite Spenser Academy.
Tyler drove in the school's parking lot with his SUV alongside Reid riding shot gun and Pogue and Caleb in the back. The sons of Ipswich always made a grand entrance. The boys stepped out of the SUV and began walking side by side each other as they entered the gates of Spenser Academy. There was something mysterious about the sons of Ipswich that appealed them to many. Girls loved them, and boys wanted to be them.
The boys made their way down the school hallway and noticed trouble waiting for them at their lockers.
"Well, well, if it isn't the punks of Ipswich." Aaron said as he wrapped his arm around Kyra's shoulders.
"What do you want Aaron?" the eldest spoke in irritation.
"Hmmm… What do I want?" Aaron taunted. His crew behind him chuckled at Caleb's question.
Aaron continued "It's not so what, then who I want." Aaron eyed Reid.
"Oh… I see." Reid said. Reid looked at Kyra and caressed her face "You told him about last night, didn't you. She knows a good thing when she sees it."
Aaron shoved Kyra out of the way and strongly pushed Reid into the lockers. "You think I'm playing Reid!" Aaron shouted.
Someone in the hallway yelled out "FIGHT!!!" Soon enough, a crowd began forming around the boys.
Reid quickly pushed Aaron right back. Before Aaron could do anything, Caleb automatically placed himself between Reid and Aaron. "Not now" Caleb said to Reid.
Aaron and Reid continued to stare each other down. Finally, Provost Higgins interrupts "Gentleman, what's going on here?"
"Nothing, Sir" Caleb interjects before Reid and his big mouth find themselves in the Provost office.
"Is this right Aaron?" Provost Higgins asks.
"Yes, Sir" Aaron said wrenchingly.
"Reid?" Provost inquired.
"Nothing" Reid said nonchalantly.
"Alright, everyone get to class." Provost Higgins announced to the crowd. The crowd immediately disbursed. Reid looked at Kyra, and intentionally gestured to her to call him later. Kyra looked at Reid in pure loathe, while Aaron gestured his middle finger.
"I think she likes me?" Reid teased.
The boys gathered behind Reid and chuckled at his comment. They continued walking and talking down the hallway until reaching their destination.
As a random student recited his poem to the classroom, Caleb noticed the far corner plant begin to shake. Caleb found this strange, due to the fact the windows and doors were locked. It wasn't obvious, but he knew others must have seen it. He looked around the classroom, but no one reacted to the shaky plant. Again, the plant shook harder, as if it was trying to catch his attention. Caleb whispered to Pogue "Did you see that?" Pogue answered "See what?" Caleb squint his eyes at the plant hoping it would shake again, but it didn't. Caleb sighed and leaned back on his chair.
An image of a girl in a red dress appeared in instant near the plant. She was wiping her tears with a tissue. Caleb stood up in shock from the image. As soon as he stood, the students in unison all turned to Caleb. Caleb glanced at the students and returned his attention back at the image, but the image of the girl was gone. He paused and looked at the student reciting his poem. Caleb searched quickly to get the eyes off of him, so he began to applaud the student who was reciting. The classroom followed soon after.
The student complained to the teacher that he wasn't finish. The teacher explained that it was time for another student and to take a seat. Pogue turned to Caleb in confusion "What the hell was that?" Caleb responded in a low tone "I saw a girl." Pogue's confusion now turned into concern "like a darkling?" Caleb shook his head in disbelief "No, more like a ghost." Pogue listened attentively, and Caleb continued "I had a dream last night about the same girl I just saw right now." Pogue questioned "What do you think she's trying to tell you?"
Caleb suddenly had an urge to reach into his coat pocket. He felt something soft, but wet. He carefully pulled out the object. "No, this can't be." Caleb said in disbelief.
"What? What is it?" Pogue asked frantically.
Caleb starred at the tissue in silence. It had black smudges and moisture in some areas. It seemed to have been just recently used. This baffled Caleb; he wasn't sure what to make of it. He quickly, but gently placed the tissue back into his coat pocket.
"Are you okay man?" Pogue said worried.
"I'm alright." Caleb said in assurance. "I hope." Caleb continued under his breath.
