Missing!

It was a cloudy day. It was unusual for the weather to appear dark and gloomy in the mid of April. The sky was overcast with enormous grey clouds. The wavy peach colored curtains hovered in the air, waving from side to side. I hastened up stuffing my bag with books. It was a normal day for a normal fifteen-year-old teenager like me- carefree young days, reckless and adventurous. I strolled under the omnipresent cloudy shade. My mind always scrolls with questions. How can people be so decisive of what they want to be when they grow up while I struggle to know that fact. Taking decisions is hard for me. This year is the last year of my schooling and yet I do not know what I dream to be. I was awakened from my daydreaming from a bright voice.

"Hey why are you late Chloe?" she called out to me.

"Umm.. got up late" I answered.

She was Rachael, the girl with deep brown eyes, long brown curls flinging about her waist.

"Did you complete your homework? Ohh I totally forgot about mine. Did you watch the latest episode of friends? How cute Joey is!

I am borrowing your homework" blabbered Rachael. At a distance, we saw two more girls Jade and Eva. They were hysterically laughing and sauntering towards us. "You know what, I had a dream and I was fighting a gang of rowdies and guess what Chloe was doing? She was in the corner sobbing with fear" Eva teased me with a mocking smile. "Doesn't your day pass without teasing me?" I replied with a hint of anger in my tone. Rachael started giggling while Jade was controlling her laughter placing her palms on her pink lips. We were the gang of four "legendary" friends. Unfortunately, we all weren't grouped in the same class. But we would rarely have classes together for English and Math. After a two minute walk, we reached the school campus and went to our respective classes bidding each other goodbye. I had a glance at the time. It was ten minutes to eight. I made my way to the library to do a little bit of reading. I was looking at the book rack and something unusual happened. Was it because I read too much of Harry Potter? On the corner of the rack lay a luminesce book radiating light. I went close to the book walking blindly. It read" SECRETS YOU SHOULDN'T KNOW". I wasn't a brave or courageous girl indulging myself in a mysterious task. Probably the book was designed like that. I turned the pages of it. It was blank. The last thing I wanted to do was to get myself in trouble, so I made my way to class. The school bell silenced the crowd of pupils for a minute. All rushed out fetching their bags. I was curious to be precise. So I went to the library on my own to search for the book. I couldn't find it. It was there, I had seen it in the morning but now......it was "missing!" "Ohh look who's here, the nerd," remarked Rachael sneering at me. "Hehe, I was searching an English book for a reference to my essay" I lied. Some things are best kept as secrets I had thought, little did I know then that these events were destined.
