Chapter 3: DRUSILLA GRACE'S MEMORIES

Drusilla stood outside on the balcony, her eyes filled with sadness towards the student dormitory. It's been ten years since she was in that dormitory, room 304. Her memories go back to the time when she was just a sixteen year old student, she decided to leave the school dormitory out of anger. Her father, he married another woman, making her feel that her mother is not respected. However, she also had more tolerance in her heart for that woman, she took good care of Thalia, she tried to find the right eyes for Thalia, even though she didn't say it but it's also quite difficult for Drusilla to face that woman..

Room 304 ten years ago:

"Drusilla, have you seen the homework the teacher assigned me to send?" ,Elsa Hillton spoke up.

"You do it yourself, I'm busy today. Today is my sister's birthday, I need to go out to buy things for my sister, so I won't have time to see it for you" ,Drusilla chirped.

"You dare to disobey me" ,Elsa shouted, "I say it again, if you don't do my homework and send it to my teacher this afternoon, you don't dream of spending my money."

Drusilla burst into tears, she always suffered because she needed money. It was because she abandoned her family and decided not to accept any more support from the family. At first, she worked part-time to earn money, but that money wasn't enough for her to pay for her schooling, so she switched to helping Elsa Hillton with homework because the money Minh Thien gave her was often a lot. Although her father sends money into the account every month, she never touches it, maybe it's because of her pride, no matter what, now she can't withdraw it.

Today is the day of the final exam, when everyone finished the exam, they all took care of packing to go home, but Drusilla was still in the dormitory, she did not have a home to study. She saw that her friends were all busy packing up to prepare to leave, even Elsa Hillton, she sometimes felt sorry for herself, was she too stupid but in the end she still didn't decide to go home?

"Drusilla, go down to my room 204 tonight, I won't go home, stay in the summer to work part-time. My group plans to stay up tonight to tell ghost stories, I stopped to listen." ,Elena Phan, Drusilla's classmate went up to her room to invite her.

"Ok, I'll come down tonight to play" ,Drusilla wiped her tears and nodded.

"Whatever you do, you have to take advantage of summer homework for me" ,Elsa's voice echoes behind.

"You haven't come back yet?" ,Drusilla asked surprised.

"I'll just come back tomorrow, why are you asking too much, today I have a bit of a headache, I'll go to sleep" ,Elsa replied annoyed.

Drusilla said nothing, just quietly prepared things to go down to Elena's room tonight, she did not expect that the meeting that afternoon was also the last meeting between her and Elsa. That night, thunder and lightning rumbled, the group sat talking about ghosts, when suddenly Drusilla felt unsafe, she told everyone that she needed to go to the bathroom. Upstairs on the 3rd floor, a thunder rumbled in the sky, she heard the sound of Miss Tanphil in the area shouting at her friends downstairs, so they laughed, this time they have been cleaning for another month. She went to room 304 to get her things when another thunder sounded, she saw Elsa, Elsa's whole body was hanging up, she was so scared, she screamed in horror. Her screams were heard by Ms.Tanphil. That's right, from that moment MINH THIEN DID, HER NIGHTDREAM HAS ENDED..

Drusilla smiled slightly, the memories following the rain tonight fell and disappeared. Suddenly, a hand reached up and placed it on her shoulder, startling her:

"Drusilla, what are you doing out here, it's raining. You still have class tomorrow, go to bed early." ,Elena looked at Drusilla with a sleepy voice.

"I'll come right in." ,Drusilla nodded.

"Hey, are you okay? The bath towel fell."

A voice from behind made me jump, I turned around to see a female friend about my age. I suddenly remembered that I was talking to Hung, but now I can't see him anywhere. I bent down to pick up the towel, thanking the person who helped me, I didn't expect this friend to be so enthusiastic:

"Do you think you're strange, you just came to this dormitory, right? Minh is Arena Ling, in room 302, student in class 10A5, how about you? Looking at you so bewildered, you must be in the tenth grade, right?"

"Yeah, I'm also in the tenth grade, but I forgot what grade I was in. My name is Thalia, Thalia Grace"  ,I also introduce Arena about me.

Room 304 suddenly opened, sis Louise went out, saw me, she said that sis Jane was waiting for me in the mango dining room, she went to the bathroom and then went in. So Arena knew that I was in room 304, her face was a bit blue, but quickly changed it with an interesting expression: “Did you know that your room 304 had a dead person, but it wasn't one person....”

"Arena, will you shut up? The little girl who just arrived was scared to death by you. Hurry back to your room or I'll let you clean that hallway" ,Louise's voice sounded from the bathroom.

Arena's face began to puff up, he whispered into my ear: "When I have free time, I will stop by my room, I will tell you, Thalia". I burst out laughing, she’s really enthusiasm, but she's cute. I walked into room 304, indeed, Jane was waiting for me to eat mango. I sat down in front of her, she even whispered a few words to me why it took so long. I picked up a piece of mango and dipped it with a piece of fish sauce, biting into my mouth, the feeling was indescribable. Eating sour mango on a rainy day is really a great tip.

The clock bell at 6.00 points rang throughout the room, I woke up, it was Jane's bell ringing. I saw a few women still lying on the bed not awake, I quickly took out my personal belongings and rinsed my mouth first. When I got to the toilet, it was still very early, the toilet was empty, it seemed that it was only me, I put down the mouthwash cup and started rinsing my mouth and saw that Giselle had been standing beside me.

"Oh gosh, if you come, tell me, if you appear so suddenly, I will have a heart attack before I can solve that curse."

"Don't worry, you can't die, today is your first day of school, I won't do anything to affect you, but then I want you to investigate about the death of a person named Elsa Hillton." ,Giselle replied coldly.

"I saw a memory of a sister named Elsa Hillton, it was last night when I woke up. I know she was hanged to death, but why am I seeing these things?"  ,I wonder.

"Those are my memories, because you own my yin and yang eyes, you can see my memories, that's what I've seen, then you'll get used to things. that's it. But remember my words, investigate about Elsa's death." ,Giselle repeated.

"I remember, that's right, I met a friend of yours, whose name is.."

"Thalia, who are you talking to?"  ,Arena's voice in the toilet made me jump again.

"Oh, that's Jane, she's already in her room."

I resist not knowing if Arena believes me but never mind, as long as she doesn't know this is fine. At that time, Giselle also disappeared, I didn't have time to ask all the questions, she left, it's really good to hide, I hissed a little and continued to rinse my mouth.

Drusilla was waiting for me downstairs in the dormitory, when I saw her, I was very happy. I quickly ran to her, she asked me how many problems I knew, I smiled and told her that I was still very well and then she also walked to school. The school is not far from my dormitory, it's about a ten minute walk. Drusilla told me that the class I was in was class 10A5, so I was in the same class as Arena, I turned to her and told her that I knew a friend who was also in class 10A5, so I could go with her later to get close. Seeing that I am happy and have new friends, she is also somewhat reassured.

In class 10A5, it was extremely messy, everyone ran back and forth, ignoring me until the homeroom teacher entered my classroom and told the whole class to be quiet. She introduced me that her name is Elena Phan - the homeroom teacher and also the literature teacher for my class. When people saw me, they clapped their hands, and I also felt happy in my heart. Especially Arena, Arena raised her hand to say that her seat was empty, so she could let me sit right next to him. Honestly, I feel very happy myself.

At the end of class, because Drusilla had to have a council meeting, I went back to Arena first. On the way back to the dormitory, I suddenly remembered that Do Quyen had a word that he would tell me about room 304, I asked: "Hey Arena, you said you would tell me about room 304, right? Is there anything interesting there?"

"You came here without hearing any rumors"  ,Arena seemed to catch the frequency, "The room you are in is the room rumored to have that deadly curse. There used to be two people who died there.."

Taking a long breath, Arena continued: "Have you heard Mozart's sonata? When the music plays, someone dies. It's the SONATA CURSE."

The thunder resounded throughout the sky when mentioning the death sonata.
