Prologue

Dead was trailing after her name.It had been going around that she had jumped off the tallest building in the campus.Some even said there was some burning. She died in the fire, down to her ashes, and that she was back for an unfinished work, as what other 'phantoms' did.Others said she took a leap to the rail tracks, the four A.M. train catching her fragile body in a snap. It happened after her house burnt down to ashes. It was fair, though. She lived near the railroad, down to Quarry Street.Whether they were hoaxes and made-up stories, news still spread like wildfire. It was a famous legend in the University of Penny Lane.Th

Chapter One

What is it like being dead and nothing to think about? Sane's grip around the railings of the rooftop was tight, almost wounding his palm in the process, as he could almost hear the beating of his heart ringing in his ears like a siren call in the middle of the night. He drew a big breath before shooting his look downwards, but immediately looked back at his hands that were sweating profoundly against the metal railings.  I have lived a good life. Surely, I wasn't a bad person. Will God forgive me for this breach or will he put me into judgment for something that doesn't really speak to who I really am? It was funny how he thought about being in hell first rather than thinking about the interest of the people he would be leaving if he ever jumped off t

Chapter Two

“Hey, boy, wake up. You are not supposed to be here.” Sane jerked awake, breathing heavily as he met the eyes of a man who he realized to be the janitor after a few seconds. For a brief second, he thought he saw a pair of black eyes which made his eyebrows furrow, but he just shrugged the thought away. He felt a surge of panic soon after before he started regaining fractions of the memories that happened last night. Those memories immediately made him feel completely ashamed of himself, especially when the janitor had seen him in his hungover state. "You reek of alcohol. Did you spend the night here?” He heard the janitor once again, but Sane was yet too preoccupied with his thoughtst

Chapter Three

"Who's the lucky girl?" Startled for a bit, Sane immediately straightened upon seeing Nikolaj who was giving out a light smirk in front of him.  He was looking at him with an amused look on his face, and it seemed like there was no better thing going inside the guy's mind. Sane knew the guy too much. Niko was not the sanest member of The Dotish. But no one was really sane in The Dotish in the first place. They talked about avocado dreams, beautiful girls, how bad Miss Reyes' singing, mashed potatoes, moms, why Mrs. Roffeus baked a lot and every single thing Sane didn't really understand. No wonder the band had so much chemistry. Birds with the same feather really did flock together. Sane shook his head, shaking the image of that pair of black eyes staring down at him th

Chapter Four

Never did Sane think that Ride was capable of doing such a thing. He was just fifteen years old for Pete's sake. He should be living the normal teenage life where he had nothing to worry about because that was how things should be. That was the reason why Sane kept on telling his brother that he shouldn’t worry about the problems that their family had been facing as he was doing his best to cater to their needs, although it would be hypocritical of him to say that they no longer struggled at times.   It made him feel utterly dejected upon realizing that their problems could have been affecting Ride still even after everything and every effort that he exerted. Maybe there were really things that he had no control of.   Sane was feeling very uneasy as they were in the taxi, having little to do but to wait, and to feel the hard beating

Chapter Five

The day was a drag in the hospital. It would have been more dragging if Haniel wasn't there. She talked his mom out of loneliness and worry, and Sane was thankful for that. It was good to see his mom smile after everything that happened. Somehow, he felt a little lighter and a sense of peace as he looked at her smiling because of the things that Haneil had been telling her.   "Have you prepared for your classes, Lady?" his mom asked her. Sane giggled before making a face at Haniel whose forehead immediately creased because of that. Lady Haniel Lo was her full name. As much as Sane hated pickles, Haniel hated being called ‘Lady’.   She made a face back at him, sticking her tongue out, before clearing her throat to look back at his mom with a sweet smile. "Yes, Auntie Mel. We went to Live

Chapter Six

What's more selfish? Committing suicide or forcing someone to stay in a world where they were so unhappy? It had been days and Ride had already been discharged but Sane hadn't answered the question yet. He’d often think about it over and over again, trying to find the answer to that question, weighing things along the way. Sane had never thought about it before, and it felt kind of weird thinking about it as he never really dwelled on things like that. He never really talked about suicide or even death in general as he had been so focused with life instead. But after everything that had happened, after everything that he had felt, and he had witnessed, he came to realize that there were really a lot of things that he didn’t understand. What is more selfi

Chapter Seven

The first day of school was nothing much for Sane to remember. He could only remember much about the leaves falling, the cold breeze brushing against his skin, and the fast beating of his heart. He was nervous, alright, very. When his mom kissed him goodluck, he knew he needed to do good, even better. He hadn’t felt the same desperation and motivation before. He hadn’t felt so driven to be better. Although Sane still hadn't talked to anyone regarding his scholarship because he didn’t really feel the need to do so. It would only put himself in a worse light, having to answer his friends’ concerns about his problem. He didn’t want that. Nikolaj and he hadn’t seen each other for almost a week already, and they weren’t that close for him to demand his appearance and upd

Chapter Eight

“Do you believe in the ghost on the acad building rooftop?” Sane asked Haniel without really thinking. The girl, who was walking beside him, stared at him for a few seconds with her mouth open. There was a hint of amusement and confusion in her face before she stifled a laugh. “Now, is that question for real? Are you seriously asking me that?” she asked, still grinning. Sane pouted, forehead creased. "Don't you mock me." "I am not mocking you, sure, I ain't," she said, climbing up to a low wall before picking red leaves off the low branches from the trees nearby. She walked cautiously, both arms stretched sideways to maintain balance, and picked more leaves as she passed by branches and branches.

Chapter Nine

"Oh no, what should I do? He passed out. He passed out. Should I call Kuya Rey, Kuya Paulo? Did I kill him? Oh, what do I do?" Sane could hear whispers but at his current state of mind, he couldn't figure out what was happening and what was the noise all about. They seemed gibberish to him, just like random noises he couldn’t really understand. Eyes still closed, he tried moving his fingers before he found relief when he was able to move them together with his hands. He was still confused but at least he could move his body. For a whole minute, there was a void in his mind, making him unable to remember what happened before the dark, just like when he woke up after being intoxicated with alcoholic beverages. His body immediately shivered upon feeling the cold brush of
