Eddie

A quiet day, tomorrow at 4 am you were supposed to go to the seaside. You were very excited, because you'd been to the seaside since you were five, and now you're already fourteen. You spent the whole day downloading videos, songs, looking for headphones, charging your power bank, packing, tidying up to arrive in order, even going to the store, you bought all sorts of things. Your day was filled with anticipation and was very fun. Your parents were getting ready too, 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—you had no idea. Evening, you cleaned your room. An hour later, you'd already cleaned up, turning on a story about the resort town you were going to in the background, and you began to go through the things you'd packed in your bag, making sure you hadn't forgotten anything. You felt a sense of unease, but you thought it was due to intense anticipation, but something else was going on inside. As you finished packing, you heard a noise in the hallway, but ignored it. A couple of minutes later, a guy came in—Edi. He looked to be 16, 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.
