CHAPTER 2 : SILVER THREATS.

I opened my eyes and kept staring at my bedroom sealing. New Salem wasn't so bad , not so bad at all. My first week was already over and I felt more at ease now that I was sure I was beginning to make friends. Sally and Jeffrey are great , Sally even invited me over her place. This would be great , this way my mind wouldn't flutter back to the mystery around Adam. After I saw the shiny thread , I confronted him with it. But he insisted that it was just my fantasy , that I was imaging things. Something in his face told me otherwise , like he was even more shocked than I was. I couldn't let go. It was just a gut feeling that that shiny cord meant everything. Well I haven't really spoken to him the rest of the week. During math he was completely silent , just gave me a very quick 'Hello' and ' How are you doing?'.

'Cassie , wake up! It's already 10 O'clock.' Yeah this was my cue to get up. I was fully awake for several hours but kept overanalyzing everything. I think I'll google it after I get home from Sally , cause now I have to get ready asap! After my shower , I got ready and went downstairs.

'Finally cassie , I thought you drowned or something.'

'Haha no , not really. But thank you for considering it , and not coming to look if I'm all right. I feel so cherished mom.' I really feel so lucky with a mom like mine. She understands my sarcasm , even early on a Saturday morning. I would hate to have such an old fashioned mother who can't laugh with anything.

'Aw , the next time I'll hold your hand while washing your hair. Ok?'

'Oh no no , it's fine.' Only the thought of my mother washing me like a four year old , gave me the creeps. I love her , she's funny and all. But that's just gross and I don't want to think about it. Ever again.

After breakfast , I headed over to Sally's. She lived on the mainland , I had to lie a little bit because she thought that my house was only a 10 minute drive from hers. Got to tell her soon , really soon. I think she will be pissed if she found out from somebody else and not me.

'Hey Sally , I'm sorry I'm a tad late. My mom kept lecturing me about near-drownings in the shower.' I was sure she was really considering the thought of near-drownings , she will have to learn to appreciate my lame ass humour.

'It's ok , it's good that you're here. So we can get going!' 'Where are we going?'

'To the shopping mall , Jeffrey works there. He called me 5 minutes ago , about something urgent. He told me that I have to meet him there immediately.' She seemed really concerned something bad has happened.

'I'm sure everything's all right , and that it's just a teenie meenie thing that he needs or something.' She told me she was allright but her face told me otherwise. This only showed me how much Jeffrey meant to her. And after a week I could also see that they were very much in love. I hope to find someone like that for me someday. And while I was thinking about the love those two people shared and that I wanted that , the image of that shiny cord was back. Back in my mind along with Adam. Adam Conant.

'Hey Jeffrey , What is so urgent?' Sally asked immediately when she entered the shop he worked in. He pulled her aside and I got the message. What shop should I visit while those two lovebirds talk it out. Hmm clothing shops and more clothing shops. Aah a record shop , I entered the shop and started browsing through the cd's. After a while I stumbled on my favorite band. The Black Box Revelation. Yeah I totally forgot with the move that the band has released a new album. I was searching it and was kind of shocked with the title. ' Silver threats.' This couldn't be a coincidence , my favorite band with a new album , with that title.

'Do you like them?' I turned around and saw Adam standing next to me with the same album in his hands. In his other hand a receipt , so I'm guessing he bought it.

'Um yeah , it's kind of my favorite band' I felt my blood rushing to my face , it's not because I was talking to him but just because I was admitting liking the same band as his. Sounds a bit stupid , but just the thought of him buying my favorite bands album made me blush and yeah also the fact that I was drawn to him in every way possible.

'That's strange , it's mine too. Math partner Actually they are playing next Friday at a club not so far from here. It's only 20 bucks , If you want you could come with me.' Wow did he just ask me out or did I make something out of this. It could just be that he wanted to hang or something. But one thing I was sure I was deeply attracted to this boy and Friday would be amazing. I could feel it.

Ok , I have not forgotten about the rest of the circle. Just wanted to let you know. This story will consist of quite a length.
