My deskmate has been giving me odd looks lately. She's been keeping her distance from me and avoiding me at all costs. It's the same when we go to the cafeteria for lunch or during class. One day, I can't take it anymore. I grab her and ask, "Have I done something to offend you?" She trembles in fear and staggers backward, putting distance between us. Her gaze darts around shiftily. "No, you're not the problem!" Yet after that, she transfers to a different class. I'm confused by this and want to ask her about it, so I head to her new classroom. I stand at the door and watch as she chats leisurely with someone else. Suddenly, she shudders and screams in horror. "This really has nothing to do with you! Please, leave me alone!"

The Unwanted One Chapter 8
Noah and I began investigating what had happened to the madwoman from years ago. We soon learned that she had been sent to a psychiatric hospital.It took all my courage to visit the hospital in hopes of seeing her, but we were told she hadn't shown any improvement over the years. Worse still, she had developed a serious illness. Following protocol, she had been discharged to the care of her family.Noah and I exchanged a shocked glance."I think I know why Ramona appeared to warn us," I muttered under my breath, a little shaken.Back at school, we immediately informed Kent about this."The madwoman who murdered so many students has been released from the psychiatric hospital," I said breathlessly.Noah added, "She used to come to the school every day, so her home can't be far. What if she blames her institutionalization on us and comes back for revenge?"The mind of a mentally ill person was unpredictable and terrifying. Their thoughts defied logic, and no one could foresee wha

"Many years ago, a horrifying death occurred in this school," Kent said. "Back then, the school's management wasn't as strict. Many elderly people would bring their grandchildren to play on the field, and scavengers made a living rummaging through the trash bins in our school grounds."He then removed his glasses with a heavy sigh. "That was when a madwoman appeared."Kent paused for a bit before continuing to recount the events with a heavy heart. "At first, she just sat quietly in a corner, holding a few bottles and smiling as she watched the children on the field. Sometimes she'd bring scraps of vegetables or old bread. "She wasn't dressed too shabbily, so people assumed she wasn't entirely abandoned and homeless. I was the only one who found her behavior strange. I reported it to the administration, but the headteacher didn't take it seriously.""Then one day, tragedy struck. The madwoman suddenly pulled a knife out of the rotting leaves she was holding…"Kent's voice took on

A student's everyday life normally consisted of attending classes and going home after school. Finally, it was time for the last lesson. Coincidentally, I had gym class before school ended on that day.The sunset clouds on the horizon were parted like they were torn apart. The overall reddish tint made them look like blood-streaked wounds in the sky.I stood on the field, playing games absentmindedly with my classmates. My thoughts were clouded and distant.Suddenly, a terrified scream erupted from the crowd.I felt my heart pounding violently in my chest as I ran with the others in a panic. When I reached the classroom doors, I realized every single door was locked.Behind me, an eerie and suffocating sensation closed in on me. It was a sticky sensation that felt like death itself—it crept closer and closer.The scene shifted abruptly, and I saw Ramona standing at the end of the hallway, smiling at me.Her smile grew wider. Then, to my horror, her head slid off her neck and tum

Paulina suspected I had psychological issues and sent Noah to talk to me. Though he was reluctant to do so, he begrudgingly sat beside me.Just as he sat down, I asked, "Ramona doesn't exist, does she? That's why you were so afraid the other day. It wasn't because of the grove, but because I mentioned Ramona, right?"Noah's eyes widened in surprise. After a long pause, he swallowed hard and replied, "Not entirely. I'd heard from Willow that you often talk to thin air, calling it Ramona. You'd eat meals with her and walk home together with her… But that's not the scariest part."Noah glanced around nervously, trembling the whole time. Cautiously, he asked, "Is Ramona here right now?"I shook my head. "She's been gone since yesterday."I was still trying to figure out why she had disappeared.Noah let out a sigh of relief. "At first, I thought you were… insane. But that day when we were talking in the hallway, the sun was shining… Then, I saw it… I saw a shadow next to yours."Eve

I was stunned and could only stare at Paulina in disbelief. "Are you messing with me, Ms. Reed? Ramona sits in the last row by the window. Don't you remember? She's the one who's really good at Elandric literature."Paulina was taken aback. She then reached out and touched my forehead gingerly."You don't seem to have a fever," she said. "The last row by the window has been empty this whole time. Have you forgotten?"I was dumbfounded. But upon seeing her serious expression, I realized she wasn't joking. Flustered, I spun around and ran straight to the classroom.Until now, I had always believed Ramona was my best friend. I would often go straight to the last row to talk to her during breaks. But when I stood in front of that seat and looked at the desk, I found nothing—there wasn't even a single book inside.The desk was completely empty as if no one had ever sat there.Yet, I couldn't bring myself to believe it. A chill ran down my spine as I thought, "Could I have schizophre

Ramona reminded me about the piece of paper on my desk that Jean had been looking for during gym class. "She must have had a reason for doing that.""I know, but I have no idea why she did that," I said helplessly, showing Ramona the paper.I added, "It's just a regular health check report showing that everything is normal with me."No matter how I racked my brain, I couldn't figure out why Jean had rummaged through my desk for my health report.Ramona was equally perplexed. "Could she have been worried you had some contagious disease? Maybe she was scared that you'd pass it to her or something."I glanced at myself and remarked, "I don't have a skin condition, and I look perfectly healthy. Why would she think that?""Duh. Of course, I know you're not afflicted with any kind of disease," Ramona said, rolling her eyes.The whole situation was just too bizarre.Suddenly, I remembered asking the class monitor, Noah Fitzgerald, if I seemed strange in any way just a few days ago. He

Jean held the tips of her fingers up to her twisted lips, and she was nervously biting at her fingernails. The once-intact nails were now jagged, with white powdery debris scattered at the edges.When she noticed I had caught her in the act, she looked flustered. Her once-bright eyes were bloodshot and anxious, and she stepped back rapidly.Jean backed up so far that her pink shirt nearly blended into the crabapple blossoms outside the window. After a while, she clutched at her chest with difficulty. Then, she turned away and refused to look at me.I was overwhelmed by the stark contrast between her previous demeanor and now. My nerves were frayed under the weight of confusion. I rushed forward and grabbed her hand. "What is it? What's wrong? Did I do something to upset you?""No, it's not you!" Jean cried.Jean was normally bold and confident. Yet, she suddenly screamed and shook her hand away as if I were some menacing monster.Tears welled up in my eyes as I turned my head a

I didn't know exactly when it started, but I noticed that my deskmate, Willow Quist, began looking at me in a strange way. At first, she subtly moved her desk a bit farther away from mine. Later on, she moved her chair over to the window. I patted her shoulder to remind her to focus on the lesson. Unexpectedly, she was so startled that she fell off her chair. With a terrified look in her eyes, she scrambled to her feet and bolted out of the classroom in a panicked state. I was utterly confused, and I wondered if I had somehow upset her. So, I decided to talk to her the next day to clear up the misunderstanding. But when I arrived at school the next day, the seat next to mine was already empty. Our Elandric teacher, Nadia Long, hesitantly told me that Willow had voluntarily requested to transfer to a regular class. The class we were in was the top honors class in Yewtree High. We had the best teachers and resources. Willow had told me not less than ten times about h
