Drip drop.

Drip drop.

Drip drop.

That was the sound the rain made against the glass window. The window was a part of a large building. It looked new and modern, with many more windows lining it's sides. It was a school, known as Heerbeeck College. The school had quite a reputation, being one of the best school in the area. That's what everyone thought...

For a few people the school was a complete hell. If you didn't find a group of friends and acted all snobby, you did not belong there. It was a school where the rich people had the best life, for they bribed their fellow classmates. They'd cast out the ones that didn't 'belong' there. You'd think that the teachers would help the ones that were cast out, but they did nothing about them. In fact, they participated in the taunting, but only slightly so.

One person who thought like that was a girl, looking out the classroom window that the rain was dripping on. The girl had brown hair that reached just past her shoulders. She sat at the window seat, isolated from the rest in the classroom, who were very loud as they talked. The teacher sat at her desk, ignoring the screaming and rambling students as she worked on her own things. The blue-eyed girl stared outside with a dreamy and almost longing gaze, wanting nothing more than to get out there and dance in the rain. She had always loved the rain, it was so peaceful and could just let her mind slip away and imagine all kinds of things. She was doing just that, imagining as if she were someone else. Someone that was confident about themselves, but still kind to others. That's who she wanted to be. Someone beautiful, someone who people looked up to instead of down. Someone who could help others... protect them.

The girl sighed. Of course that would never happen. She was a failure in life, like everyone told her. 'you're a failure' 'go rot somewhere else' they told her. She heard these things daily, and to this point she didn't care any longer. She wanted to be alone, in her room, playing on her computer or playing with her pets. She lived on a farm. She had 2 horses and 2 cats. They were one of the few friends she had.

Don't get me wrong, the girl didn't live the worst life ever. She had her family, who was still kind to her. Ever since her mother left her at the age of 13, her father and her had become extremely close to the point where they have become inseparable. Her pets loved her also. Every time she got home the horses would greet her with an excited whinny, and her cats would run to her asking for a pet on the head. That was the only place she could feel happy. At home.

And of course, not to forget, her best friend, Debbie. If she hadn't been there she might have become depressed. They have been through a lot together, and they have become amazing friends.

But, back to the story at hand. The girl was left to her own thoughts that were wandering to several places. The places she wanted to visit in her life after she had finished studying to become a nurse. She already knew a lot about nursing wounds, more than a 17 year old should. She had always been interested in it.

Her thoughts were interrupted when someone tapped her on her shoulder. She turned around with a confused look only to be met with the snobby face of possibly the meanest girl in the whole school. Jessica.

''hey, shitface'' she said in her snobby tone. The girl had long blond hair, with quite a pretty face and a curvy body to match. She was beautiful, and boys swooned over her. That's why she had a new boyfriend nearly every week. The girl sighed again. ''What do you want, Jessica?'' she asked annoyed as she slumped in her seat. Jessica huffed at her attitude, but didn't say anything about it now.

''hmph. We've heard about a rumor about the school. It seems tha-'' but she was rudely interrupted. ''Do I look like I care about rumors?'' The girl said. Yes, she was annoyed. And when she's annoyed she gets all snobby. She placed her head on top of her hands which were resting on the desk.

Jessica grit her teeth. She was used to be treated with respect, not being talked back to. ''Listen here, slut. There is a rumor that there is a ghost in the school'' ''so?'' ''so, we want you to check it out'' ''no'' ''what do you mean no?!'' Jessica yelled, attracting the attention of the others in the class for a brief second. ''I don't believe in ghost stories'' the girl simply stated. That's when Jessica smirked. ''what if take …. this?'' she said and she snatched the laptop that was resting in the bag of the girl. ''hey give that back!'' she yelled, enraged. ''you want it back? Then you better be at the school tonight at midnight'' the girl taunted. ''What's in it to you? Why do you care about a stupid ghost?'' Jessica smirked again, happy that she knew something the other girl didn't. ''I'll worry about that. Now... you just make sure you'll be here tomorrow. Else I won't give your precious little laptop back... Mandy'' she spoke her name tauntingly. ''why you little-…'' Mandy was about to send some colorfull words towards the blond but she was halted when the bell rang.

Jessica quickly stuffed the laptop in her bag and ran out the door, followed by her blond lackeys. ''you little bitch!'' Mandy yelled after her. She had to get her laptop back. That thing was her life. It was one of the few things that made her happy. She loved gaming, but without a laptop that'd be hard. Besides, all her schoolwork was on that laptop. The female grit her teeth. ''Guess I have no choice'' She had considered going to the police to get her laptop back by force, but she figured that would get her family in trouble. After all, Jessica's family had quite a bit of power, and she could ruin her father's job.

And so she decided she'd just go there at night. there probably wasn't a ghost anyway, so what was there to worry about?
