William got up early the next morning to go to school. He went to the kitchen to eat breakfast after bathing and dressing. His father and mother had both left early for work, but his mother had left a letter and some money pressed to the door of the refrigerator using a magnet. The letter was written to encourage William to take care of himself and do his best at school. He finished the meal quickly and washed the cutlery he had used. Then, William walked out of their house, wearing his maroon v-neck shirt, black jeans, and white shoes.Because of what happened yesterday, William did not bring his soundproof headphones. As he walked, he had no idea he'd run into Lawrence, the mysterious young man from yesterday's accident, at the spot where the latter had turned, causing them to part ways. William tries to avoid seeing the young man as much as possible, but fate is playing tricks on him, or Lawrence purposefully set them up to meet. William said nothing, and the two continued
Another year had passed, and William cheerfully celebrated his 19th birthday with his family, a few classmates, and his best friend Lawrence. Lawrence and William became close after Lawrence assisted William the day he was involved in a fight. Lawrence had given him a perfume with no brand or name on its black glass container as a gift. He inquired as to where the latter purchased it, and the reply was that he had made it himself. The perfume has a fragrant and masculine scent. The only thing William didn't understand was that Lawrence wanted him to promise to use it exclusively from now on. Because they are best friends and William has no idea what fragrance he prefers, he agrees and promises his friend that he will use it from the end of his birthday celebration until it runs out. Lawrence was pleased with his choice.William awoke from a deep sleep one night because he was thirsty. He went out of his room to get some water because his throat was dry. He walked past their l
“I'm not lying, bro, I saw his eyes glowing,” William insisted.“I didn't say you were lying, William,” Lawrence responded, “I just didn't see anything like that.”“We should probably end this conversation,” William said.“It's even better,” Lawrence replied.The two kept walking until they were out of the woods. They could see the old building where they had rested earlier from where they were now, but they did not return there. They decided to buy some snacks at the nearest convenience store. Lawrence asked William as they walked, "You did not use the perfume I gave you?"“Hmmm,” William said, nodding, “I forgot to perfume earlier.”“You promised me to use it until it ran out,” Lawrece said seriously.“I did but,” William replied, “this day I forgot.”William wondered why it was a big deal for his friend to use the perfume he had given him, but he chose to keep it lull. His mind was too busy with the creature he had seen earlier to add more thoughts. Wh
The next day was Monday, and just as he said when he called, Lawrence did not go to school. William called him during lunchtime, but he did not answer. The school also talked about the dead body found yesterday. Because their town is small and has been for a long time, only now has someone like that been found again and it has not been determined what caused it. The whole day ended with the event being just normal.On Tuesday morning, William was surprised to see Lawrence waiting for him at the corner of the street where they usually part ways. He approached him, and his friend smiled at him. Lawrence had a bandaged wound on his forehead, so William was even more surprised. “What happened to your face, bro?” William inquired.“I was hurt while working,” Lawrence explained.“It's just a regular wound,” he explained.“Work?” William inquired, perplexedly. “Are you having financial difficulties? Please let me know if you require assistance. ”Lawrence's reaction
William called his father after requesting assistance from their department. Robert is a cop who can assist with the current situation. “Dad, get here as soon as possible,” the son ordered.“We're going there right away, son,” William's father responded, “just relax, okay?”“OK, dad,” William said after taking a deep breath.“Tell your father to use the back gate of the school so he doesn't attract a lot of bystanders,” Lawrence said quietly to William, who nodded in response.Soon William's father arrived with the police and immediately closed the area to the public and students. As William instructed, the police troupe did not go through the main entrance of the school, so they successfully did not attract many students, but there were still a few who knew and spread the news on campus, so the number of people who went there intensified. The school called the family of the young man who was found dead and his parents directly substantiated that he was their son, an
After the call, Rita returned to the table and sat opposite the two young men. More than a minute of silence passed before she dared to ask, “Son, what happened earlier?”William's throat seemed to be blocked, so it was Lawrence who enacted everything that happened. From the moment they saw the corpse to the moment they were taken to the police department for interrogation Of course, except for the fact that William led the way using his sense of smell. William's mother was very worried and asked her son in an anxious tone, “Why didn't you even call me, son?”“I just don't want you to worry, Mom,” William replied.Her mother responded, “I'll be even more worried when I find out later.” Then, she looked her son in the eyes, worried. She asked, “What if it wasn't that simple, hmm?”“And you too, Lawrence,” Rita said, and looked at the young man next to her child. “When there happens to be an important event again that Willi
The hours, days, and months flew by. It was peaceful once more in William's small town. The Styles family agreed to miss whatever engagements they had tomorrow in order to bond. William invited Lawrence via text message, but he has yet to hear back from his friend. The Styles intended to visit a picnic area near the mountain, which is quite far from their small town. When approaching Ferry County, you will notice several tall mountains. They haven't been able to bond in a long time due to Robert and Rita's hectic schedules, and William is also preoccupied with his studies.They got up early to prepare the items they would be bringing. One of them is food. William was dressed in khaki summer shorts, white shoes, and a white shirt overlaid with a light blue polo with open buttons. When the couple waiting for him outside the car saw William, they smiled. They were struck by how quickly time passes. The cute baby they just got from a woman they didn't know has gro
“Only for the handsome boys!” Robert joked. “You are not permitted to join,” Robert continued.“Is that so?” Rita asked, her arms crossed and a sharp look on her face.Robert's tongue drew back, and he didn't immediately respond. He simply approached his wife and hugged and kissed her.“Are you just going to do that in front of me, Mom and Dad?” William joked to his parents. “These meats still need to be grilled by Dad,” he added.The campers slept in their tents as the night progressed. As a couple, Robert and Rita were sharing a tent while their son, William, was sleeping in his own tent. The young man was just lying down because he couldn't get any sleep no matter how hard he tried. It's 11:30 p.m., and the air is icy. William pulled the black jacket he'd brought from his backpack. He felt much warmer after putting it on.And, because drowsiness refused to visit him, he took out his cellphone and went online. He also went to their school forum,
