Dun! Dun! Dun! Who is Leo? I don't know too! XD Don't worry it's near! It's starting! ;) Enjoy!


Who was he? How come he has her pen? Was it him? Or has she overlooked the pen? Maybe she was just imagining things that night. She was in the middle of one of those meltdowns.

Amy ran her fingers through her hair as she walked along the aisle of cereals with a basket in hand. She grabbed a box of Dan's favorite cereals. She looked down at her basket. Milk. Cereals. Soap. Shampoo. Tissue paper. Some snacks. A couple of sodas. Basically, she was done shopping but she was in the shop for only about four minutes. Too quick. She decided to stay a little longer. She walked slowly along the aisles looking at things as she passed by a couple of kids who were running around the store.

Because of boredom, her mind quickly strayed back to him again.

The guy from last night, Leo. He was awfully familiar to her. The way he affected her. She doesn't really know him. He was just a complete stranger and she agreed to have a dance with him. It would be embarrassing if she said no but she didn't say yes for that reason. She said yes because she felt the urge to dance with him like he was some magnet attracting her to him.

She never really saw his face but it was kind of familiar to her. And the way he says her name. It was too friendly like they've known each other for years. She suddenly stopped as a thought made her frown. Could it be him?

She shook her head. She made a promise to herself. After Jake went to get some drinks, she promised herself that she will forget all about him. She will let go of everything. And here she is, thinking about him. She laughed at herself. Silly me. Silly.Besides, there were many reasons to prove that Leo's not him. Maybe she was just imagining. The room was a bit dark. She may have mistaken his movements for Ian. Plus, she just had a meltdown so the memory of him was vivid in her mind. She was in a vulnerable state so it was easy for her mind to imagine things that are not actually real.

The prickle was back on her neck again. She quickly turned around. She was alone. A family turned around the corner and went into the aisle she was in but they paid no attention to her. She quickly turned back and walk out of the aisle. And that's my signal.

She flinched as she felt the prickle on her neck while she walked towards the counter. She needed to get out. Luckily, there was no line at the cashiers. She immediately got out of the store but the prickle never left her neck. She hope she had listened to Fiske and brought her bike with her. It would've been easier with things that way.

She looked back once in a while but she always found no one, just as before. When she faced forward, she saw a car coming her way. She gasped but thanks to her reflexes, she managed to step back. She breathed a sigh and continued to walk. She decided not to look back anymore because it would cost her life. Besides, she never really found anything.

Whoever this man was must be an expert. She never really saw him, not even once. Or so she thought. But she needed to find who this guy is. And she was going to do that today. She walked faster, ignoring the looks people give her as she bumped into them. The prickle was still lingering on her neck. She mentally cursed. This was going nowhere. She's got to think of something to trick him. She tried to come up with something as she walked fast.

Suddenly, her eyes widened. It was very elementary but it's worth a try. She needed a place where there's many people. She looked around. There were only a few compared to what she needed. She needed a crowd. Suddenly, she had an idea. She looked at her watch. 3:54. Perfect! she thought.

She just walk with the same speed heading towards the familiar road. She had been here many times, of course. She always passed here when she was still studying there. She smiled as she saw the school building emerge from behind the big trees. It was good to be back but she had no time to reminisce. There was something she needed to do.

She saw the gates coming nearer and nearer. She heard the school bell faintly across the street. She hoped this works. She glanced inside the school as she walks pass the gate. She saw students started to come out. She smiled. Nice timing! She did a turn at the corner and leaned against the wall. She sighed as the prickle faded but her heart beat fast in anxiety. She watched as students walked past her.

Suddenly, she saw a guy with a hood over his head. He waited at the corner full of students when the green signal turned red. She saw a couple of hooded kids walk in front of her. Hoodies are part of today's fashion but somehow she felt something when she saw him though she didn't see his face. She didn't know how she knew but she knows it's him. He was too tall and his built was too big for a student. She thought she spied a light stubble on his face.

Her heart beat fast against her chest as she wiped her sweaty hands on her pants. She inhaled deeply. This was it. She reached out to him with shaking hands but she stopped midway. She changed tactics and let her hand fall to her side. She stepped closer to him, close enough to whisper in his ear.

"Who are you?" she asked in a low voice.

She stepped back a little, waiting for his reaction. He didn't turn around though she can see the way his body tensed. She waited for him to do something. She saw his hands curled into fists but she felt no fear. He was not going to hit her in a place where people could see them. Unless he was insane or something.

The lights went green. Slowly, he turned around. He tilted his head down so that she still can't see his face. She observed his every movement. His mouth was opened where he was breathing through. His hands went on curling and uncurling. His body was still tensed.

"Amy Cahill."

She shivered as she heard her name escape his lips.

"What do you want? Who are you?" she said with a slight shake in her voice.

"I just wanted to talk." he said as he slowly took a step towards her.

"Who are you?" she asked once again.

"I need to talk to you but not here."

"Who are you?" she asked in a louder voice.

"Not here, Amy!"

"Don't use my name! I don't even know who you are!"

He thought about it for a while. She thought he was going to tell her the truth but it was the opposite. He stepped closer to her causing Amy to back away. She panicked as she felt the wall hit her back. This was not good. She never considered the fact that she might be trapped.

She felt his hands reach for hers. She quickly jerked them away.

"Don't touch me!"

He grumbled and slammed him arms on either sides of her head. Amy jumped a little at his sudden actions. He leaned close. Her heart hammered against her chest as she slowly saw the face of the man underneath. She gasped.

"Leo?"

"Bingo!" Leo said but he didn't let go of her.

Amy frowned. "You're still wearing that mask..."

"Yes, I am. That's why I need to talk to you." He smiled.

Amy glared at him. "Then just tell me why! Right now!"

Leo shook his head. "I can't!"

"For God's sakes, just tell me!" she said impatiently as she felt her anger rise with each passing second.

"Amy..." He leaned closer to look into her eyes.

Amy tried to push him away. "Get off me!" But he caught her hands and pinned them above her.

"Get away from me!"

"Amy, just please-"

"Get off me!" she almost shouted.

Suddenly, Leo's head turned away. After a few minutes, he still wasn't looking. "Leo!" she tried calling his name but he was still looking away. She frowned and followed his gaze. She found a small girl looking back at them.

"What are you doing?" she asked innocently.

Amy stole a glance at Leo who was still staring back at the girl. She placed a hands on his chest and pushed him slowly as she said. "We were just...um...practicing for some play...yeah!"

The girl looked at them as if they were weirdos then just gave them a sweet smile and said. "Okay! Enjoy your play!" Then she skipped past them.

Amy watched as the girl disappeared at the corner. She sighed in relief. Suddenly, she felt him walk past her. She frowned as he continued to walk without talking to her.

"Where are you going?" she asked.

"Follow me." he said without looking back.

"Where are we going!?" she asked again.

"Follow me if you want to know." he shouted with the big distance between them.

She groaned. If she wanted to know who he really is and what his intentions are, she needed to go with him. She started to follow. Always keeping a distance between each other but making sure she doesn't lose him on the way.

She was surprised when he lead her towards the park. Why the park? Was someone waiting for them? Maybe this was all just a trap or something. She breathed deeply. If she really wanted to know what's going on, she's got to trust him. For now, that is.

The next thing she knew they were standing behind a tree that's shielding them from all the people in the park. He leaned on the trunk of the tree and looked at her innocently. She found herself staring back, trying to figure his plan out. She breathed deeply. She just didn't get it. It all made no sense. She looked back at him. He was still leaning on the tree looking back at her, waiting.

"Who are you?" she asked.

"Leo." he replied bluntly.

Her eyebrows furrowed. "Then show me our face."

He chuckled and ran his fingers through his hair, pushing his hood along the way. He stood straight and started to walk slowly towards Amy.

"That's what I like about you, Amy."

She gasped as his voice shifted into something different. Something more familiar.

"So smart."

She stiffened. She couldn't get words out of her mouth nor could she move. He was close to her now. She could smell his scent. She could feel his skin millimeters from hers. He walked around her, his eyes never leaving her. Amy's heart pounded as he disappeared from her view. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw the mask was thrown away to her side.

She felt his breath on her ear. "Turn around." he whispered from behind. Shivers went down her spine.

Slowly, she turned around and was faced with a broad chest. She started to go upwards from his neckline to his jaws. Finally, she saw those eyes. Everything felt like it stopped.

"Hello, Amy."

She almost choked back on her tears.

"Ian..."
