Seraphina & Leon

"Ok, let’s see." I adjusted the camera as I walked my way to school.

"Hello me! As you know my name is Seraphina, and today I'm 15 years old. I’m currently living in Rostin City. I'm going to start my first day of high school at Sierra High, yay! I'm still not a social person, but I guess I have plenty of friends, well used to anyway." I continued to walk to school after finishing the first short video I wanted to keep for my future self.

I checked the time and realized that I was going to be late, so I ran before the school gates closed.

"Why did I do that video?" I said, "Now I'm going to be late on my very first day of high school!"

I arrived at school right on time but I got lost on the way to the auditorium for orientation day for 1st-year students.

While heading to the auditorium there was an alley where there were three boys smoking.

I slowly walked backwards so they wouldn’t notice I was there, but I slipped on my own feet and landed on the floor.

One guy noticed me and walked towards me. I trembled in fear.

The guys looked like they were part of a gang, and it also looked like we went to the same school because of the necklace they had around their necks.

Every student gets a necklace that represents what school they go to.

"Oh, hello cutie." One of the guys said.

I got up and ran when one of them walked even closer to me. I ran until I spotted a storage room that was next to a sports field.

I went inside and hid behind a cabinet.

There were footsteps from outside, but they faded quickly. I looked around and saw someone lying on the floor; I ran towards the person and knelt.

The person who was laying on the floor was a guy with silky black hair and pale skin.

It looked like he was okay, so I sat down next to him and waited. I didn't want to go out there in case they were still looking.

I woke up to find out that I fell asleep; I looked at the guy on the floor, he was still there.

He woke up a couple of minutes later

He looked at me while still being sleepy.

"Who are you?" He said in a low and gentle voice.

I noticed his eyes, bright red. An eye color I had never seen in person.

"Are you okay??" I asked "You were lying on the floor like a dead person:"

He looked at me as if I said something wrong.

He stood up and headed for the door.

"Wait!!" I said loudly

He stopped and looked at me

"What," he said with a cold and serious face. "I need to be somewhere."

"What's your name??'" I said while my face was all red.

"Leon," he said while walking to the door.

He opens the door and starts heading out of the storage room we were in.

"Leon, huh?" I said in a low voice.

For some reason I got really nervous.

I got up and headed for the door and notice that it was dark outside.

I checked the time on my phone.

"It's already 2 PM!" I shouted, "How is that even possible!!!!"

I sighed, "I missed school! My mom is going to kill me!"

I headed home. But when I arrived, I heard sirens. The ambulance and police were there.

I walked to the front of the crowd that was gathered behind the "Do Not Enter" tape.

I spotted my mom lying on the concrete floor with my dad and little brother.

While trembling I walked under the tape and ran to my family.

The police officers tried to stop me, but I slipped past them. I looked at my mother and father, then my brother. I didn't want to believe that they were dead.

I looked around and noticed another four bodies on the floor. It looked like our new neighbors.

The boy I met in the storage room was kneeling beside them. He wasn't crying, but I knew he was sad.

I cried and couldn't stop.

We didn't know what was going to happen next, but we both knew that something inside us was changing.
