Edie

It was a quiet day. Tomorrow at 4 a.m. you were supposed to go to the seaside. You were very excited, since you were five years old when you were there, and now you're already fourteen. You spent the whole day downloading videos and songs, looking for headphones, charging your power bank, packing, tidying up to arrive in order, even going to the store to buy all sorts of junk. Your day was filled with anticipation and was very fun. Your parents were also getting ready. Your father was doing something in the car in the garage, your mother was packing after a call with her friend, Alina. You were already imagining yourself with headphones on, in the front seat, the dawn outside, but your parents didn't think so. No one told you that you were traveling with two families—your family and Alina's family—you had no idea. It was evening, you cleaned up your room. An hour later, you had already cleaned up, and you turned on a story about the city in the background. At the resort you were going to, you started going through the things you'd packed in your bag, making sure you didn't forget anything. You felt uneasy inside, but you thought it was because of intense anticipation, but inside there was something else. As you finished packing, you heard a noise in the hallway, but you ignored it. A couple of minutes later, a guy came in—Edi. He looked 16 years old, had white hair, wore glasses, and was carrying a suitcase. He was tall and athletic. It turned out he was the son of Alina and her husband, Kostya.
