Chapter 3- Just a Nightmare or Reality?
Someone shook me as I open my eyes groggily. I woke up. Then I realized it was Harry who had woken me up. What time was it? I checked my alarm clock which alarm's was not working at the moment and saw it was 11.45 a.m.? I overslept! School starts at 12.00 p.m. that day. I quickly got up and make a dash to the bathroom, holding a towel and my clothes in my hands.
I took a full bath that lasted for 5 minutes. After that, I wore my school uniform, which consisted of black pants, a white long-sleeved shirt with a dark blue jacket and a black tie. I unbuttoned the first button and loosened my tie. I dried my hair and dipped some gel. I smudge the gel in my hair and messed my hair up so it will look as spiky as ever. When I was finally satisfied, I stepped out of the bathroom. My schoolbag was lying on top of my study desk and books were everywhere.
I scratched my head and quickly picked up all my books, putting it in my schoolbag. I wondered where Harry was. He shook me hard to wake me up just now and now he was gone. I looked at my watch and saw that it was almost 12.00 p.m.! I did not have time for breakfast but anyway; I don't normally eat breakfast back in Japan.
Making a dash to my homeroom, thanks to Victoria that I now knew how to find my way around the school, I heard the principal making an announcement about all students should assemble in the school hall. I ran to the school hall. I was going to be late. No, I was late.
When I reached the hall, the principal was clearing his throat to begin his 'important' announcement. I sat beside Victoria, panting.
"Did I miss anything?" I asked while fidgeting. Victoria shook her head and I sighed. Victoria wore the same as mine except she wore a skirt and her jacket was tied around her waist. Her blond hair which she usually let down was now tied into a high ponytail.
"Students of St. Peters' High, I have a very important news. It was very tragic." Mr. Tan paused for a while before continuing. He took out his handkerchief and wiped away his sweat. I could see that he was perspiring profusely. Must be something really tragic that had happened or else he would not be sweating so much.
"I'm afraid that there is a murderer among you all. We had found the body of one of our students, Bernard Miller, in our school garden. I am very sorry for him. We all hope that his soul may rest in peace. I have to warn you all to be cautious. If you have any information regarding this or you are the one who murdered this poor boy, I suggest you own up whenever you want but I hope soon," After that tragic news, everyone in the hall began to whisper among themselves.
"It's Ben. He's...dead?" I could see tears welled up in Victoria's eyes. A drop of tear slide down her cheek. She wiped away her tears but they kept flowing.
"He was like a brother to me. He protected me when Josh disturbed me. He took care of me when I fell sick. He..." Before Victoria could finish, she cried her heart out on my shoulder.
"There will be no lessons for today as all the teachers will be attending an important meeting for the rest of the day," No school for today. Great. I was curious to know how Ben had died. Wait, the name sounded familiar. Ben, yes I remember. Ben was one of Josh's clowns. He was one of the clowns who had beaten me to a pulp. Anyway, why do I even bother to investigate?
When I looked at Victoria, something about her was different. Her once glittering emerald orbs were now lifeless. Maybe I want to find the heartless murderer because I want to help Victoria. Maybe that was it.
"Hey, don't cry. At least you still got me. Am I not good enough?" I looked deep into her eyes. She stared at me for a moment, and then smiled. I knew that would work.
"Of course you are. I'm going shopping, see you later," With that she laughed. She ran to her other friends to change and went shopping but I could still see sadness in her eyes. I walked to the school garden and saw a patch of red on the grass. It must be blood. They had not clean it up yet.
As I looked up, I saw a broken window. Ben might have fallen from there. It was pretty high. Did Ben comitted suicide? No, he would not leave Victoria. Did someone killed him, just like the principal said? It could be possible but there were other conclusions. The window led to the chemistry room. Maybe Ben sneaked into the room and made an outrageous chemical reaction that could send him tripping and fell from the window? Could be.
I walked round the garden while trying to sniff the sweet scent of different flowers but the smell of blood was stronger. Then, I remembered something. Something that had occurred last night. I could still sense the feeling. The electric waves passing through my body. Those glowing eyes. Mysterious, yet over-whelming.
(Flashback)
My eyes snapped open as I heard someone called my name. Half of me wanted to get back to sleep but the other half was curious to know who had called me in the middle of the night. Seems like the half, which was curious got the better of me so I got out of my bed and reached for my jacket as it was cold outside. I was only in my white shirt with my jacket and black boxers. I did not have time to change into something else.
I opened the door, trying not to make a sound. I tiptoed out of the room and heard the voice again. The voice was strange, it was a guy's voice but it did not sound like human. There, in the hallways, I saw a ball of light. Then, it changed into a figure. As I approached the figure, I could see who it was.
It was 'me'. I rubbed my eyes but he was still there. He came nearer and nearer. He was then an inch away from me. He did look like me. Exactly like me. Suddenly, my body felt numb. I could not move a muscle. He lifted his left pale hand onto my right cheek. His hand was cold, utterly cold.
He then began to chant some words, which I did not understand. Suddenly, electric waves shot through my whole body. I tried to scream but my mouth won't move. The feeling was as if he had taken over my whole body. The next thing I knew, everything went dark as I fell into unconsciousness.
Someone then shook me and I woke up, realizing that I was in my room and had overslept.
(End Flashback)
I shook my head as I let the memory flow out of my head. It probably was just a dream but something in the back of my head disagree. Maybe the curse was true. Maybe. I shrugged it off as I walked out of the garden and into an unknown corridor.
Then I felt the same presence I had felt last night. Someone or something was following me and watching every step I took and movement I made. I turned my head but no one was there. Something was definitely wrong with the atmosphere surrounding me. The further I walked into the corridor, the stronger the presence was. I started to run. Then, I stopped. I stared at the wall, which was a dead end, my eyes widen. My whole body seemed to lose all its senses.
There on the wall was.............
QOF: ooooohh.......a cliffhanger! What did Kai see on the wall? Someone's head hung? A monster with a thousand eyes? The Canterville ghost? You must review! You can guess too. But I'll give you a hint. It's none of the ones I told you. You must review and read the next chapter to find out.
