Chapter 1 - The Boy who Solved Tomorrow

The Boy Who Solved TomorrowAt exactly 7:12 a.m., the clock in Aaron Blake's room stopped ticking.

Not slowed.

Not broken.

Stopped.

Aaron noticed strange things like this. Most people didn't.

He was sixteen, quiet, and known in school as "the weird smart kid." But what nobody knew was that Aaron had a strange talent — sometimes, he saw events before they happened.

Not dreams.

Not guesses.

Real flashes of the future.

Short. Blurry. Dangerous.

And today's flash terrified him.

He saw a girl.

Running.

Rain pouring.

A scream.

Then — darkness.

And a date glowing in red:

February 18. Tomorrow.

The First ClueAaron rushed to school, heart racing. He didn't know who the girl was, but he had seen something important —

A silver bracelet.

With a tiny moon charm.

That was the only clue.

During lunch break, he searched the entire school, pretending to look normal while secretly scanning wrists.

Then he saw it.

A new student.

Black hoodie. Quiet. Sitting alone.

The bracelet.

Moon charm.

Her name was Lena Hart.

The ProblemAaron couldn't just walk up and say:

"Hey, you're going to be attacked tomorrow."

She'd think he was crazy.

So instead, he started watching.

Not in a creepy way — more like a detective.

He followed patterns.

Who talked to her.

Who stared too long.

Who avoided her.

Then he noticed something strange.

Every time Lena passed the science lab corridor, one boy left immediately.

Always.

Same time.

Same nervous look.

His name was Marcus Reed.

And he had scratches on his hand.

Fresh ones.

Like someone had tried to fight back.

The Second FlashThat night Aaron got another vision.

This time clearer.

Rain.

School rooftop.

A struggle.

Marcus.

And Lena screaming.

He woke up sweating.

Now he knew.

Tomorrow wasn't random.

It was planned.

The TrapNext day, Aaron stayed close to Lena.

He finally spoke to her.

"Hey… you shouldn't stay late after school today."

She frowned. "Why?"

Aaron hesitated.

Then said quietly, "Because someone might try to hurt you."

She stared at him… then surprisingly said, "I had the same feeling."

That gave Aaron chills.

The ChaseAfter school, rain started falling.

Just like the vision.

Marcus was missing.

Aaron ran upstairs.

Rooftop door — open.

Wind howling.

There they were.

Marcus shouting. Lena backing away.

"I just wanted you to listen!" he yelled.

He looked unstable. Angry. Desperate.

Aaron stepped forward. "Marcus! Stop!"

Marcus turned. "Stay out of this!"

But Aaron had already called the school guard earlier.

Sirens echoed.

Marcus panicked and tried to run.

Slipped.

Caught by security.

Lena was safe.

The TwistLater that night, Lena asked Aaron:

"How did you know?"

Aaron smiled slightly. "Lucky guess."

But when he got home…

His clock started ticking again.

And then —

It stopped.

7:12 p.m.

Another flash.

Another date.

Another person in danger.

Aaron sighed.

"Looks like tomorrow needs solving again."

Because some detectives don't solve the past.

They solve the future.
