Cassandra's POV
When I got inside, the table I used to slap whenever I got mad we're still there and I was so amazed by how it was properly clean and white as there was no dust visible.
The cabinet where I used to stock my wine was still there. The seats, everything around never change.
I throw my bag on the sofa and I stuff out my notes and take a quick review. I stop my hands from writing when i heard a footsteps rushing towards my place. I thought a little bit nervous since there was no one with me.
"Ms. Cassandra,``I almost jump out when I hear someone call out my name suddenly. I felt relieved when I saw Uncle Thomas, the one I hired to take care of the place. I quickly fix my hair strands that was coveri
Cassandra's POV"How are you?" He asked to break the silence that crossing all over us that makes the ambiance feels awkward. At all the question he's free to ask, why that?I mean, can't he see I'm struggling? Can't he see I'm hurt?"Fine." I answered without looking into his eyes. I felt shiver on my vines when I felt his eyes laid on me. My neck seems to be stiffer as I try not to look at him. "Cass, that time--" I quickly stood up and my foot automatically kicked the stool I've been sitting automatically.I felt that disappointment and pain had return after he intended to bring up the topic but somehow, we are talking about it.And why the h*ck did I agree?"Let go of the past, Jasper. What you have said is fine with me. And besides, who cares?" I gulped after saying a word against my heart. I felt my own heart breaking after saying a word I must not say.I saw how he pursed his lips as and avoided my glare
Amira's POVAfter the tiring adventure we had, finally, we are now outside the campus. There was no people passing by so we took of our uniform. Good thing, I wore a not so short pants and I also bring my extra shirt which I wear over my sleeveless shirt since I don't want to come outside exposing my skin much."I'm done." I said as I finish dressing up.We need to change our outfit since our school has a lot of eyes and they will report us to our Dean and we're dead."Let's get a cab." Zack said. We waited and waited but there were no available cabs for a moment. "Does anyone tell Cassandra about this?" Patty asked."Nope, we didn't see her today, right?" Krisha said. Patty just nodded. Another couple of minutes had come but we are still unable to get a cab." I'm getting a cab, wait here." Zack said as she ran towards with Krisha.Speaking of, does Krisha already developed her feelin
Krisha's POVAfter a moment being inside the hotel room, doing nothing and letting ourselves stink just to let time pass over so we could go back home. I just slap my cheek when I realize we can't go back till evening since the guard is always energized to ask us question.I might be getting ready at climbing the walls and jump on it. I might be looking a thief later. If it's not because of Jasper, we shouldn't be at this place.Also, I just wish we don't have exams for today. I look at Jasper, laying in the bed while one of his leg are resting in a soft, comfy pillow. How beautiful his life is. He was just staring at the ceiling and I almost get drunk by his thoughts. He seems to be occupied. I saw him took a deep sigh." You have been staring at Jasper ever since, are you in love with him?" Amira suddenly hop into my ear and I almost throw up what she had said. Me? Falling in love with him?I better eat a sack of chili.
Krisha's POVAfter a long day, we finally have arrive to our dorms. As expected, before going in, we need to do a little adventure to be able to go back, without anyone knowing except us. I turned on the lamp beside me as I throw myself on my bed. Escaping a little sigh, my phone vibrated as I forgot to switch off the silent mode. It was from Zack asking me if I'm still awake.I raise up and replied to his message."Not. Why are you still awake?" Replying to his message. Lately, he seems to be distracted and he's always spacing out after taking a call. Maybe it was from his mother. I think there's something wrong about their conversation. I don't know if it was just me who I noticed it." Nothing, I just can't fall asleep." He replied. I wanted to ask about lately but it looks like a huge time of gossipers."Oh." I just replied. I waited for his reply but it seems like he doesn't want to reply. Well, there's nothing to reply with
Amira's POVJasper's words keeps distracting my focus. I have been spacing out since late night, at least that's what Patty had said to me. I didn't tell her about Jasper have said. I just wanted to keep it to myself."So, next week, our class will be visiting an old house in a remote area and you will be divided into a group of your choice. List down the things you have discover and do a creative writing." My classmates yelled in excitement. I just took a deep sigh as I rested my jaw on the table.After the class ended, all was busy chit chatting about the incoming activity."I can't wait for it! That would be so fun!" Patty exclaimed as she clapped her out of excitement. All of them have the visible excitement on their faces except me. I forced myself to look excited and happy so I can't bump into question again."Are you okay?" Zeke whispered. In just a snap, In just his simple whisper, all my worries faded.
Amira's POVWeek has passed and we're all gathered together here at the market to buy some things we need for tomorrow. I went to the chip section and pick some generous amount of it. We are not bothered about the food since our professor clarifies us that every houses should be near market.We will be away for months and hopefully I could learn something from it.A mix flavor chips of vanilla and chocolate caught my attention and without any hesitation, I picked it up and add it to my cart.I roll around the chip area and caught some delicious looking chips and biscuits."Amira, have you pick some milk for us?" Patty asked."Not yet, I'll go right away." I rolled to the milk section and look for some fresh milk. After having sometime of picking up, I went directly to the counter table. I saw Zeke, Zack, Krisha and Patty right along with their carts.One c
Amira's POVAfter checking for our things, we quickly went inside the jeepney as the driver started the engine. I sat on the very corner near the door and Zeke is beside me. While hugging the doraemon pillow we just bought near, I lean my head. In front was Cassandra retouching her make-up. Patty is beside her and Jasper is sitting beside Patty.The jeepney stopped. There was a heavy traffic and we're stucked in the smokey area. The car, motorcycles, and trucks horns are screaming telling us to move forward."Can you please reach the chocolate chip, please?" I asked to Zack who was just a ruler away from it."Thanks." I uttered as I received the chip."Why do you choose sweet chips? You're teeth my hurt." Zeke said. I just look at him and but the first piece if the chocolate chip."Don't worry, I won't cry." I replied. After a couple of hours, we have finally come to our d
Cassandra's POVOh, please! I wanted to go back home. I really can't think that I'm able to survive this. Not this paranormal thing."Mang Andoy said lately that we should just ignore the noise. So it's really true that there's something we can't see living with us here tonight." Amira's words shivers in my soul."We can still escape, it's still six. ""Yeah, I agree. Let's get out of this freaking haunted mansion. I don't wanna die in fear." I stood up and was about to go back to our room and pack my precious things when I realized that I'm just alone. I turn back to Jasper and pulled him with me without saying a word.I don't have any choice."Wait, hold on. Maybe we just misunderstood it again. Maybe there's a cat or something." I groaned as what Zack had said.Does he really heard what he's saying? How could it be a coincidence again?

This wall might not be as special as some other places I have been, but it is one of the specials.I drag the stoll I brought form my house to the flat surface. I slowly climb up until im able to see the view inside.When I am finally on the other side, i ran towards the hallway, trying not to make a noise.

Cassandra started the conversation as soon as the waitress leave after serving our coffee."We are not from this world. This world were leaving is just a fictional. This ain't real." Jasper said which makes Cassandra look at us in confusion."How come it's not real? So you're saying we're fakes? This happenings is fake and that it's written?" We slowly nodded as an answer.
