Amanda was walking beside me when we passed through the corridors.
"Four months, Ash, four months," I sighed when I decided to go back to school. I felt like I never been here for decades, thanks to Amanda who enlighten and encouraged me to go back and left that prison of mine.
But then when we were walking in the hallways, I discovered that all eyes were on me, I noticed it since I entered the school, but at first, I thought I was maybe imagining things that all of the kids, parents, teachers, and classmates, all of them were strangely glancing at me, but they were actually staring at me... Why? I thought... I hunched down my head when I came to realization that they were thinking something about me. And it wounds my heart when they were avoiding me like...
"Am I a kind of some virus?" I thought and I was trembling, confused, and in pain. But I kept holding on the tears that were stinging in the corner of my eyes, then Amanda held my hands, she caught me trembling, I guessed. I glanced at her and she smiled softly, telling me to fight what was howling inside of me.
I was happy that Amanda was there with me, I could pass across, comfortably, but...."What is happening?" I asked.
She couldn't say it at first, but I beseeched her to tell me what was going on, though I already had a hint, and she answered, "They were all afraid of you," she frowned.
I looked at their eyes, yeah, it showed fears, "But why?" I questioned her.
She just looked at me and pulled my hand, "Let's just go to our room," she said, avoiding my question.
I grabbed her arm back which cause her to lose her balance, and she was quite surprised when I did that, she turned around her head over her shoulder, and stared at me.
The moment she stared at me, I honestly felt cold, it was strange looking, but I must argue, "No, Amanda, please, tell me," I sincerely said and I fought against her stares.
She heaved a sigh of relief, her eyes closed and opened, she was breathing heavily, "...But, Ash," she whispered.
"Please," I begged once more, and then she frowned again, "Are you sure? Just ignore them," she said.
"Please," I whispered in pain.
She sighed again, " Ash, they were all like that because they are all afraid that your secret admirer will kill them like what he did to my brother," she explained and I was tongueless.
"Wha-what?!" my lips were trembling. I felt like my bones were breaking through my skin, it hurts me a lot. And much more pain crawled into me when I noticed that even Camille and my other friends were also avoiding me.
"So all this time, they were just lying? They lied about being busy when the truth was they were just preventing to see me?" I glanced at them as they walked away from me.
I was shrieking, I bit my tongue, trying not to say anything. I wanted to scape this nightmare, run, escape, and kill myself than living like this. How could they fear me when they were supposed to be comforting me? How could they do that?!
"Amanda, I should have not bounced back here," I said and walked away but then Amanda followed me. She pulled my hand, "Ash, don't mind them, okay? Ignore them, they were all crazy after all," she said, she was mad.
Then the tears I was holding a while ago drifted out from my eyes, "Don't mind them?... Ho-how, Amanda, how?! How could I stay when they were all spacing themselves from me? How could I stay when they were all afraid of me? How could I stay when I became an allergy to them? How could I just ignore everything of this? Tell me, Amanda, tell me!" I exclaimed and she went speechless, she was trembling but I chose to abandon her.
"I'm sorry, " I apologized, and then left her, but due to running too fast, I bumped into someone and because of the impact of running away, I fell down on the ground.
"I'm sorry, are you okay?" the man said and stretched his arm to help me but when he saw and realized who I was, he pulled back his hand and left without saying any words to me. I knew it. My whole world appeared to be havoc.
I didn't stand up, the place was spinning. Because of the pain that no longer out of my control I was starting to felt dizzy, I looked around me but they all ignored me like I was a ghost, like I was not around.
I cried out loud but no sounds were coming from my mouth, I was crying alone somewhere inside of me, "What did I become?" I whispered, and everything was slowly fading away. I couldn't hear their footsteps anymore, I could only hear Amanda's voice from afar, she was calling my name...
"Ash?"
"Ash?"
"Ash?"
I closed my eyes when I felt that I was about to faint, and when I could feel no strength anymore, I prayed above to let him get me. I didn't want to wake up anymore not in the surrounding like this.

Chapter 3I was afraid when I wakened to found out that I was lashed to the chair. My hands were on my back, hardly tied up while my feet were tied on the seat's poles."What's going on?" I thought, but I was perplexed as I noticed that I was inside my room. Then a minute later I could hear a voice coming from the outside, there were too many voices, "Who are they?"... I wanted to shout for help but there was something in my mouth. I was sweating as I tried to moved and make a noise, but I stopped and shrieked... whoever did this was smart, he even tied the chair to my bed, making it secure, making it sure I won't make any sounds, making sure that I wouldn't do anything that not appropriate to his likings. " Who are you?" I thought."Is it that man?" I thought then I started to tremble, my eyes expanded and I couldn't breathe normally."Come on, Ash, re

Chapter 4Time passes by, and I got used to this world I lived in, I just went with the flow, rather than striving hard enough to give my best effort over and over again just to amend or control the situation nor to make it back to normal. I strived too much but I gave up because nothing rewrote what was before my eyes despite of all the effort I did, I was still an object of aversion to all of them, and I didn't want to care anymore about what they mumble behind me, I didn't care about rebuilding their thoughts anymore, because the more you care the more you get hurt, yet things were becoming more and more worst than ever ... than I ever imagined."Miss, Ash, I'm sorry but we suggest you to move to another school," Mrs. Akitson said, our school principal, as I sat down on the stool in front of her desk. I almost lost my mind when she told me that... 'Why? What did I do enough to suffer

Chapter 5"Hi, how are you can you see me? Can you hear me?" I whispered as I glanced at his grave. Wishing I was the one who was sleeping peacefully down there and not him."It suits me better down there, I'm all mess up, Dravo, wish nothing of this happened," I cried as I thought back to how I found Dravo's dead body in my apartment.I was almost finished with my chore from my part-time job when he called me, saying he would pick me up and he has something to tell me, he got a copy of my apartment's key so I told him to just wait for me there and don't bother to pick me up, I could go home alone, and so he did, he was an obedient boyfriend that's why I fell in love with him even more.Well, the moment I reached home, the door wasn't like but the light was off, which was dubious for me, but I didn't bother to overreact, I thought that he may be just wanted to surprise me, (that was foolish thoughts of mine) I wa

I unlocked the door and stepped outside to looked who it was then, something nudged into my foot and when I looked down at it I trembled instantly. It was another present from that man again, I wonder why did the delivery man didn't gave it to me personally, didn't he need my signature for proof that the delivery was received?Nonetheless, I was standing for a few minutes, I didn't want to get the gift, I was about to throw them out to the trash can near the road, but then something caught my attention, there was an envelope inside the bouq

Did they spend too much time inside that room just to say this to me?I chuckled, "Are you kidding me?" I glared at him and he just stared at me, it's annoying when they were giving me an empty answer.I couldn't wait about it anymore, I almost made a fuss when someone came in from the entrance which disturbs my boiling blood.I turned around...He was wearing a plain V-neck white shirt tucked in bl

And what strange was, there was also no mark of strangulation from the killer or any possible sign that the victim may be fought back to defend herself, which I wonder why? A person would always fight back when someone is attacking him or her, but that victim, they found no marks from her, knowing that the stabs were in the front part of her body; which only means that her killer was facing her, so she could actually fight at least a little, not unless she knows her! I massaged my forehead in too much frustration. "Mr. Sheldon are you okay?" asked Sir Kevin, one of the police on our site. I leaned my back against the chair and a long, deep sigh

Hope you enjoy your snack, ma'am, sir,"said the woman whose hair was on a bun, smiling at us as she put down our orders. I glanced at her, and my eyes rolled down on her nameplate, it was a weird name for me, though my name also sounds like a dude's name but at least mine could also fit for girls..."Nice name you have there, Richard," Mr. Kenneth whispered and the woman chuckled. "So he also notices her nameplate?" I thought.The woman smiled and answered, "Oh, my name is not Richard, actually, hmmm..." she coughed, "I'm new here, and I'm just using my trainer's nameplate, temporarily," she added."Now it does makes sense."Mr. Kenneth chuckled and actually, I never thought of having a snack with this guy.

Chapter 13When Amanda gain her consciousness, I hurried to investigate, but of course, I made sure she was able to talk, I know it was traumatizing. I was her before I became a private investigator, I had the same experience as her. Survival isn't easy, one wrong decision and turns you are going to the road of hell. Glad she survived. As I opened her door, she was sitting on her bed.Her head turned at me, and I smiled with worries in my eyes, "How are you?" I asked softly, and she glanced at my face, she was pretty."Who are you? Where is Ash?" she raised a question. It's funny that she asked Ash first instead of her mom. I looked at her, "Your mom just went to her work," I replied. "You didn't reply to my question," she said and lifted her one brow as she sharpened her eyes at me. She was different, haha, she has a lot of strength in her voice, and what's that fierce?I honestly admit, t

Chapter 12I kept following the man, but he was too fast, but I won't give up even if my feet go numb and tired, I won't even care if my feet bleed. I would never let him go away, I won't let him kill innocent people anymore, never... never.I glued my eyes at him and kept chasing him."Sh*t," I uttered when I slipped on the ground. I was not being careful. I hurriedly stood up and I saw him entered a narrow street and I followed after him, but I stopped when there were two directions in front of me, left or right? The place was dark that I could barely see anything but a beam of lights from afar.I couldn't decide which way I should go, which way did he run through? What if I went in the wrong direction? I might lose him."Sh*t, Kenneth! You can't let him go!""Ahhh!" I shouted as I kicked the garbage on the floor when I heard a man groaned. I paused...I chuckled and looked at the garbag
