And there I was, the stranger in their midst, desperately trying to hold onto my bladder and not make things odder by asking Jordan where the bathroom was. Jordan stood straighter beside me. “Dad, Mom.” His mother's eyes flickered towards me briefly, for all but one second. It wasn't strange. I wasn't worth that much where they were concerned. I guessed they were used to their son rolling with people who had big names in the economy. “Who’s he?” she asked. Jordan didn’t even hesitate. “Nobody.” It hit hard. I told myself not to care. Jordan and I barely knew each other. Of course, I was nobody to him in the grand scheme of things. He probably just felt bad about the other night.

Now, I was alone in the room with my thoughts and desires. Suddenly, my phone buzzed with a message from an unfamiliar number. “So you're the knew one” What? Who was this girl, and what did she know?.

Wake Up Alone by The Chainsmokers Autumn POV All eyes were staring at me in disbelief, and I couldn’t really blame them. We were talking about Tyler Vincent after all. He was a nerd — a total nobody. It was a wonder someone even remembered him. Jess probably knew him because she was basically a walking F******k but for us, mere mortals, I doubted we would remember him even after graduation.

His handler is also concerned with me and what sort of physical threat I might pose. I take my finger off the intercom. A woman's voice answers. "Yes, who is it?" "Mrs Zelenyy?" "Yes." "I'm sorry, but your gardener said you weren't home.” He was mistaken. My name is Quintus Noone. Would it be possible to have a few moments of your time?" "What is this about?" "It concerns two of your late husband's friends. Robbie Chase and Igor Akinfeev." "What about them?" "Do you read the newspapers?"

“Speechless.” “Genius motherfucker.” “They have brains.” “They are good at using it.” Countless inaudible murmurs resonated in the air. They were intrigued to learn who the fuck those people were. “Often, the disarray movement of those people, this flag will be at the scene.” Orange also nodded his head. “Wow. Does anyone know about it? The Unknown community, to be precise.” Black delved her hands inside the pocket. The silence engulfed the atmosphere then. Eyes collectively trained on Shadow.

Miss Shelly entered and greeted everyone. Miss Shelly started teaching us about cell communication. I fell asleep without realising it while listening to her talk. She yelled my name, which jolted me awake. I apologised to the teacher and sat straight, and took a look around the classroom. Luna and Zoe were gossiping. At the front, Benjamin and others are taking notes. Justin is staring at his phone. Some of the girls in the back are drooling. Even though I despise her class, I'm here for one and only person, and he was sitting to the right of me. William Hanks. My crush, who I'm dreaming about everyday.

“We have a new member of the council I’d like to introduce.” I sit up straighter, curiosity piqued. I glance at the unfamiliar man again, and this time, his gaze locks with mine. There’s a brief flicker of something that passes between us. It’s hard to describe. A pull, a faint sense of recognition, though I’m certain I’ve never met him before. I feel intrigued, but not in the way my mother has always described I should feel when I find my One. It’s different. Subtle. Yet, it’s there.

“I’m afraid not.” Jessica chuckled, “Everyone knows who they are and yet that’s not all they are. Take my son for example. He has leukemia, once the town knew all of a sudden, I no longer had trouble with insurance or when his father walked out, the child support was approved for twice of what the court originally ordered, and our bills were paid for a year. There was no question who did all that. When those men found out that my Jacob had a passion for horses, suddenly the childhood cancer charity event was happening in our town and any child, sick or not, were allowed to ride the Knights Ranch horses and decorate their manes. There were face paintings and bake sales, and all sorts of stuff

“Few years back, I got a call from an anonymous number, saying they knew where you stayed and I had to come to the place they sent me. I knew it was dumb and unreasonable for me to go there. But, I was blinded. I just wanted to see you.” “Oh my God.” “Then the accident happened.”
