The day everything changed

Somebody left a note on my school desk saying to meet tommorow.It was probably one of my school mates because we agreed to do the unthinkable.If the police just wants to throw the case aside.We are going to do this and not give up,for the sake of our dear friend,Ivy

It all started on a normal school morning where we were going to school normally just like any other day.The only odd thing I felt was that I could predict what could happend but only a moment.Probabbly because we go to school every day doing the same thing,oh well just a few months untill summer break starts.Me and Ivy agreed on going to the beach every day.The moment the school bell rang I waved goodbye to my friends and went home.The next school morning Ivy was not there which was weird because she is the first one to arrive at school.She is probably sick,I thought until her mother sent me a text saying: "Hey Holly, did Ivy tell you where she is going because she didn't come home yesterday and I can't contact her?",that's when I knew something bad happened.She is not the type of person to just vanish into thin air.I immediatley told my classmates if they knew something about her,they didn't.The only thing I knew about her yesterday was that she was writing a paper message with a secret that nobody knew.Of course i didnt ask her about it because i'ts her thing hat doesn't really matter.I informed my friends about if she doest return tomorrow we should tell the police.And of course tommorow came and the police were informed.Weeks passed police couldn't Find a trace of her and decided to close the case.This is not normal.How could a thirteen year old just vanish into thin air without a trace.Me and my classmates were devastated and hopeless.Her patents just agreed with the police and grieved in sadness.I was in shock I couldn't feel a thing.Why would the police just do this.I'ts like they knew something.Next day i received a note saying to meet tomorrow after school in a park.Tomorrow finally came.Me and my classmates met in the park with arrangement.If the police isn't going to do anything we are going to find a solution.We made up a team name "HONOR" for our names: Holly(me), Ollie, Nira,Oscar and Ralph.All of us are still equally grieving even though two months passed.Luckilly for us there was no rain ever since she vanished.We made a plan containing five detailed steps.Step 1: Remembering what she wore that day.Ollie took out his phone."I accidentally took a picture of her while i was sliding my phone in my pocket,here!",he said.Step one done.Step two:Checking places where she would like to go.This was a difficult one because the police probably checked everything until a great idea spawned in my head."There was a place I saw her going at some times,a mysterious forest that gives me chills."We agreed on going there the last.Step 3:Was she struggling in any form?We were all in denial because she was always the best version of herself.She would always tell us how she loved reading romance books and always included us if we were left out.If she was really struggling and we didn't notice ,then its really not fair of us because then we would be really careless.We commented for a while then moved on to the next step.Step 4 : Visit her parents to check if they could help us.Nira stepped in and explained of how it would be nearly impossible visiting her paents because they were always strict,especially now because of the vanishing of their daughter."I will do it willingly even if they yell,how about tomorrow?",I said and we all agreed.The last step which was Oscar's idea,Step 5 : Look for clues if she left us any.Oscar,who is known for reading and watching unrealistic movies,said that it would be really cool if she left us clues.We all started with being in disbelief when Ollie suddenly said it wouldn't be a bad idea to check for that.Me,Ralph and Nira didnt't have a choice but to agree, i'ts not like we have any better ideas.We went home because it was getting really late.I have a thing to do tomorrow so i thought of how i would persuade her parents to let me in.I have an idea! I will give them a fresh basket of fruit.When I woke up the first thing i did was going into a supermarket.After that,I contacted our group chat that im headed to their house.While I was standing in front of their front door I felt a sharp ringing noise in my right ear,oh well,probably because I didn't sleep last night.I knocked on the door and her parents greeted me very nicely and thanked me for bringing them a heartfelt gift.The odd thing about them was they were completley normal.As if nothing happend.I got a little scared but continued with the plan.I didn't ask them about Ivy because it would be akward, especially because the whole conversation they didn't even mention her.That's when I suddenly realized that I should go to her room.I told them I was going to the bathroom while in reality I was going to her room to search for clues ,considering Oscar' idea.I searched for a while until I found a carfully placed note in a hole on her ceiling.I told her parents that I needed to go and rushed to meet the HONOR group.We met in our secret place and carefully opened the note.What it said shocked us to the core.Here is what it said,"My dear friends.I knew you would do this.I left this note knowing my parents wouldn't find it and knowing all of you will find it.I can't tell you everything because they are watching.Just know if you find this ,you are on the right track."I burst into tears thinking of what could have possibly happened.Right after closing the note we felt a sharp ringing noise in our ear.We screamed in pain because it was unbearable.When it ended we settled town and continued with our plans.Right after that all of us agreed on going to the scary forest.Luckily it was daytime when we went so it was less scary.Halfway through the forest we noticed that it was unusually quiet.Ralph was the most scared one.While we were losing hope we saw that Ollie found a carefully packed note,like the one we read earlier.We got chills at the same time and felt uncomfortable being there.I didn't tell them but i felt as if I was being watched,from far away...We ran to our meeting place,opened our note and carefully read it,"Holly ,I knew you were watching me when I was going to this forest,but you didn't know it was all apart of my plan,to lure you guys here.Just like the first time ,I can't tell you everything because they are watching..Just one more thing and you will find out everything.Please..."Nira flips the note checking if she continued on the other side just for the whole note writing to dissapear when she flipped it back.That is when we realized that Oscars' book reading and film watching might have been the key to everything.Ralph started to feel uncomfortable like he was being watched....Slowly,one by one we were feeling weird...All of us were shivering in fear when we heard a countdown and Ivy's voice shivering saying,"The reason I dissapeared is because I broke the system and managed to escape this illusion.We are trapped in a government program, if you don't run towards the sun in ten seconds everything will be forgotten and we will be trapped in here forever!"While running all of our emotions surfaced.We were shivering,running towards the sun until we heard an explosion.

I can't wait to go to school,today will be a fun day.It's Ivy's birthday and we will be celebrating.A few years ago we were told lightning struck us and that's why some weird imaginations keep coming up.Just something feels oddly farmiliar..I can predict what happens but only for a moment,haha Imust be a witch!
