The moment I saw her files, I knew that the girl I love is someone I don’t have much information about. Everything is not what it seems, just like what Rei said. I was scared because I might really agree with Rei this time, and that was the last thing I wanted to do right now. I was also scared not only of Amelia, but also the other students here. It felt as if I trusted them so easily. It felt as if I was a rat caught in a mouse trap because of what I did. And it seems like Rei was the only I could trust in situations like these because she was familiar, she was an old friend back home. I know her, and I know she’s nice… but the other students here? I don’t even know if their intentions are pure or not.
“A penny for your thought?”
I looked to my side, and saw that Rei was now seated beside me. I would hav
Hiding inside the school’s abandoned building wasn’t as scary as what the stories make it up to be. They said that there were some ghosts who are still lingering around here, and scares the shit out of students. That’s why this building was long forgotten. I’m currently on the rooftop, looking at the football field where students are hanging out.“Here you are!” I heard someone from behind me say, making me glance back. I wasn’t surprised when I saw who it was. Jada. I don’t know what’s with her, but she sure does know where we would always go.“Leave me alone,” I whispered, not looking back and just staring at the football field. Everything feels so small when you’re up here. It makes me want to go back down because it’s kinda scary to be here.
“You don’t know everything…” I whispered, making Jada look at me with her brows furrowed. But instead of explaining, I ran out from the rooftop, but as I was running down the stairs I suddenly lost balance, making me fall. I felt it… how pain embraced me when I was falling and how numbness struck when a loud thud was heard, meaning my family was finally down the stairs. I couldn’t move, everything hurts. I closed my eyes, and the last thing I heard was Jada’s scream.It was dark. I couldn’t see anything. Pitch black. Nothingness. The one I hated most is when I can’t see anything. But I suddenly heard a sound, so I looked around me, and as if there was magic, I was in front of our school again.I held on to my head as I closed my eyes, getting a bit frustrated because I suddenly knew this was a dream based
Her eyes, filled with worry, soon started tearing up when she saw me awake. I gave her a weak smile, wanting to touch her but I couldn’t move my hands or even my fingers, so I tried talking, but my lips felt so dry and so did my throat, making me just stare at her face lovingly.“She’s awake!” Amelia announced, before giving me a kiss on the forehead before the door finally opened.I looked around, and I could see the white walls, a tv in front of me and a gray colored door. I grimaced when I realized that I’m in a hospital. Was my fall that bad that I have to be sent here? I looked at my body and saw that my legs were fine and so are my arms. Well, it looks like my body is fine so why was there a need to go to the hospital? And why was Amelia here? She should be at school!
Silence. Nothing could be heard and I didn’t want to make any noise because Amelia was already asleep. I don’t know what she did for our school to let her stay here with me, but that was not my main question. I heard her earlier saying that she already lost someone in that building, the question is, who could it be? Jada told me that there were two people who died there, but the only person she named was Sea, so who could the other one be?I took my phone from my side table, before texting Eve if she could dig up some dirt about a student from our school passing away in one of Whistler High’s buildings. I’m sure that the school did their best in hiding that fact, that’s why I made sure to ask Eve since she knows how to find things that aren’t supposed to be found.I grimaced when she asked me about how much I can off

The thing I wanted to ask Sea in my dreams never came out of my mouth. It was as if I would always forget them whenever I step into her world. Her world that she made looked so pretty, but later on I found out that it was not all rainbows and butterflies. I will never understand how and why Sea had to act like an “impostor.” What was the issue with her twin sister? Why did she kill herself? She did not even try to tell the others that she was not the Sea they all knew, so everybody thought Sea was really dead. One thing I could not help but remember whenever I close my eyes is that they really do look alike. You would never suspect that someone was the twin of the other because they look like they were one person. I know most twins look alike, but then again, we know one twin would always have something like a birthmark or any form of mark that would tell she’s the other twin, right? But Sea and her twin sister looked the same. It made me question that what if the one who fell, the on
A new school means a fresh start. Now that I’m given a chance to have a better life through being a scholar in one of our country’s best school, I’ll do my best to make my dreams come true. The only thing that actually made me think twice of accepting the scholarship here was my younger cousin who I left at home with our abusive aunt. Although our aunt rarely hurts us anymore because we’re all grown up, still, I can’t believe that I left her there. The feeling of guilt is what keeps me up at night, and I sometimes still think that I might have been so selfish because I still chose to leave her alone.I was interrupted from overthinking again when I felt the door to my new room opened. Oh, right! I remembered that the cute girl who guided me here named Eun told me that I have a roommate, and even told me that my roommate was really one of the most respected students here because of her title and accomplishments despite only being a junior.
Just when I thought that I would be eating alone, a girl who I assume is also Asian came to me and even asked me for my name. I gave her a small smile, admiring her features and her cute mole in the upper part of her lips. She was the type of beauty that I will always notice despite a bunch of people around me.“I’m Nina,” I finally answered when I realized that I was already too busy admiring her. It wasn’t such a known fact, but I had always been interested in girls rather than boys, I don’t even remember a time that I was attracted to guys.She told me that I could sit with them, and I immediately agreed. I didn’t like the idea of eating alone,and she looks like someone who doesn’t have a high profile in this school, so I assume that it’s safe to be with her. When we reached th
