I wake up to the smell of the ocean water, the sound of the waves. My window is open, letting in the soft glow of the sun. I jump out of bed, and get dressed for school, with a T-shirt and shorts and brush my teeth. “Morning!” I say brightly, waving to my grandmother in the kitchen. “Hello, sweetheart,”she smiles warmly. I put on my shoes, grab a granola bar, and hug my grandma, then rush out the door. I stand outside, soaking up the warm California sun. I check my watch. It read 6:30. Grandma thinks my school starts early, but it actually starts at about 7:15 ish. It takes about 20 minutes to bike there, so I’ve got plenty of time. But first, I need to make a stop somewhere I go every day. I’m about to get on my bike when I remember something. I run back to the garden and pluck a big red rose. I get on my cycle and pedal until I reach the cemetery. I go to the row with the last names that start with S. Smith, Smith, Smith… Here. Julia and Thomas Smith. I put the rose by the grave, and whisper softly. “Hey Mom and Dad. How are you? It's been a year since the accident. I miss you. I love you. Hope you’re happy up there.” I decide to stay a little longer. And then I hear something. I swivel around. It’s one of Eleanor’s minions. I’ve been followed.
