Celeste got out of the bathroom, towel in hand, as she tried to dry her slightly damp hair. The flat screen television illuminated her dark room, as the weather reporter delivered the weather forecast. It seems that rain was going to continue to fall for the next few days. She walked over to her closet, taking out fresh new clothes for her to wear on the first day of school. She made sure to take out a jacket, in case it got too cold. Being a transfer student last year, this was going to be her second year in Satoru high school. She just wanted to keep a low profile and graduate in peace. 

Celeste placed the neatly folded clothes on top of the chair by her study table. She walked back to the bathroom and hung her towel on one of the towel bars before walking back to her room and getting to bed. She shifted slightly as she tried to make herself comfortable. Her eyes were on the TV, as the news reporter talked about the recent disappearances that took place. She took the remote control from her bed stand and switched it off once they mentioned that it might have been related to some cult activity. Most news were exaggerated, trying to make things more interesting to get the viewer's attention.

The city lights gave her room a bit of light, as it shone through her window. She had moved to a new condominium a few days back because it was closer to school, as opposed to her house, which was located by the seaside. Her room was at the seventeenth floor, giving her a good view of the city. She rolled over to her side and stared at the droplets of rain that ran down her window pane, as she tried to do a mental check on what she forgot to prepare for the next day. Her notebooks, books, and other school supplies were ready, so she could get an extra 5 minutes of sleep tomorrow morning. Considering that she lives close to her school now, there was no need for her to rush.

She hoped for a good year, mainly her getting high grades and giving a good performance in everything she did. Making friends was out of the picture. She had always been a lone wolf, and she had hoped to keep it that way. She closed her eyes shut as she listened to the downfall of rain. The series of events that have happened in the past few years crossed her mind, making her feel a bit empty on the inside. She put the thoughts aside and focused on getting some sleep. After a few minutes of peace, sleep slowly took over.
