Chapter 2

I woke up due to the sunlight . I get off my bed lazily going to the window to pull the blind . There are so many people outside , some are walking , some are driving and some just bicycle to their destination .

I yawned , scratching my head before I was about to continue my sleeping . Then I realize I have school . I mumbled under my neath while going to shower .

Done showering , I put on my black crop top with a floral cardigan and a skinny jeans . I put on my usual make-up style — peachy looks . I grabbed my bag and went downstairs where my parents were eating the breakfast .

I sit across my parents and pouring down the cereal in the box then I pour milk into the bowl filled with cereal . That's how most people do it . We have some chat before Uber car that my dad called arrived .

I kissed my mum cheeks before leaving the house . My dad and I hopped into the car . Luckily we didn't stuck in traffic jam . I arrived my new school and my dad is continue to his own destination .

I walked down the hallway looking for the office room to register . After walking around , then I found the office room . I knocked the door then I heard someone say 'Come in' . I entered the office and saw a middle-age women smiling at me .

"You are the new student , right ? Welcome to Alpha Highschool! I am Melanie . The principal of this highschool. I hope you will be the best among the best" she stood up and shake hands with me . "I will try my best , Ma'am" I smiled back . She talk a little bit more then she passed me my schedule . I thanked her before I left the office room .

I walked to my class which is Mathematics . I already asked direction from the principal so it was not so difficult for me to look for the class . I was busy looked at my schedule then I was tripped .

"Ouch , I am so foolish" I groaned . My jeans is ripped a little and my knees was scratched .

"Are you okay miss?" I heard a voice talking with me . "Yeah , I am okay . My knees just scratched a little" I answered without looking at the person . I saew the person handing a hand so I grabbed his hand to stand up .

We both made eye contacts as soon as I standing . We both speechless , no one utter any word without realize my hand is still in his hand .

"Uh thank you . You are the guy from last night right? The waiter guy" I awkwardly remove my hand from his . I recognize that face . That smooth face without acne , without scar .

"Uh yea . Nice to meet you again" he shrugged . "How's your knees ? I have some plasters here" he searching something in his bag . We both sit on the bench near us . He handed me the plaster . I took the plasters and placed it on both my knees .

I didn't thinking of wearing a ripped jean on my first day but now my jeans are ripped . "Thank you . I need to go to my class now" I thanked him before leaving .

"I have mathematics class now . I seen your schedule . You got the same classes as mine . Not all but mostly" he told me , giving a hint that I should walked to the class together with him .

We walked to the class in silence . Nobody started a conversation . Not sure whether we are awkward because of last night tragedy or because of we don't know each other .

"I am Luna . What's yours?" I spoke up , breaking the silence .

"Eric . I hope we can be friends" he smiled at me . I smiled back . Then we stayed silent back until we reach to our class .

So , he is my first friend here . Our first meet is so funny yet second meet just like less or more like the first meet — embarassing and careless .

Since we got mostly same classes , we always sit beside each other . My first day in this school is going well . No bully , no much homework .

The bell rang , signing the school is finished for that day . My classmates already packed their belongings 10 minutes before the bell so they leave the class sharply on the bell was ringing . Not to say but it's kinda rude to do to your teacher .

I packed my stuffs after the bell rang . I thought I was alone since I was the last one who packed their stuffs before someone tapped on my shoulder . I turned around and saw Eric grinning happily .

"You waited for me?" I asked him eventho I already knew he was waiting for me . His smile quickly turned into a poker face . "Hahaha , so funny" he mocked me .

I was kinda feel appreciated by his treat because we just met and he tereated me like he known me for a long time ago . Plus , my last class is not the same as him but he still waited for me .

"Are you going home directly ?" he asked me as I zipped my bag then put it at my back . "Uh maybe . I don't know . Why?" I asked back . "Would you mind if I show you around the school?" he asked .

I think about it for a while . I know my dad gave me money to pay the Uber later on because I need to go home by Uber this week .

"Okay . Its still 3 pm so I still have more time" I told him . I can see how happy he was when I told him about that . He pulled my hand and show me around the school .

He sounds like a vacation tour man . He explained very detailed as detail as he can about certain places . After done showing me the whole school , he went upstairs , I don't know what place is he going to show me but I just followed him from behind .

After a walking up on the stairs and that small way , he opened a door revealing the outside . Rooftop . I know this is a rooftop . "Come here!" he shouted excitedly but I just stay still at the door .

He ran towards me then pulling me to the corridors . "You bring me here for what? Every building have this place" I asked him . "Nothing" he simply replied .

Its not like I don't like to be here but there are other time he can bring me here like lunch time or something . "Let me tell you something . Not gonna scared you but since you are new to here , I think you need to know about this city" he spoke up , sounds serious .

"Do you know this city have a mysterious killer? Almost every week , murder will happened..." he stopped for a while . "Even polices can't caught him . Every polices will be disappeared out of nowhere whenever they investigate about this case" he continued . I focused on what he was saying .

"Then how to catch the killer?" I asked him , I am lowkey worried but I am lowkey didn't believe the story . Not even police? Such a ridiculous .

"Once , there was a murder happened near my neighbourhood . The killer left a hint saying "You can't catch me unless I give myself to you" but I don't think the killer would do that" his face becomes redder . Then he punch the corridor .

I was kinda shooked by what was happened . "You okay?" I asked him . Seeing him like this is kinda making me uncomfortable for a moment .

He inhale a lot of oxygen before started to be normal again . "I am sorry . I am just mad thinking about it . Luna , please be safe . You are still new here" he reminded me .

"Did you lost anyone in this murder?" I asked him because I feel sorry for him .

"Yes , I do" he replied with tears in his eyes.
