Befriended a ghost

Few step to the truth

                              Sasha Alfredo

My suspicion about Racheal had been right all along , her penetrable eyes and scrutable countenance gave her away.
Cory. Racheal. What exactly are they hiding? ......but come to think of it, Daphne said Cory pleaded with her to come to the party because She was scared of Racheal,
why would Cory be scared of Rachel, her classmate? Is there some kind of secret between them? Is that why Cory is always carrying Rachael's backpack? Is she some kind of slave?
  "Declan is here". Daphne interrupted my thoughts.
I looked toward the door just in time to see him walk into the class.
    "Declan" I moved closer to him . "Where have you been?"
  "No where". he replied. "and why are you here?" he questioned.
  "erm... actually". I looked around the class and back at him . "Let's go over to your seat , I need to tell you something"
"Alright". he led the way to his seat and I
followed behind him.
"So". he sat on his desk and faced me . "
    what is it you want to tell me?"
    "It is about Racheal"
Slowly, he shifted his gaze to Racheal , staring at her for a while and then looked back at me
   "What about her?" he fixed his gaze on me.
   "I think she knows something about Daphne". I replied.
There was a pause and then he exhaled deeply
"Why did you say so?"
"The necklace". I touched the necklace. Seeing it her countenance changed, It was like she was scared of something". I tried to explain and he sighed.
"I am not surprised.I mean since her father is also involved, she might as well be involved"
"Sure". I nodded in agreement . "what do you suggest we do ?"
"Simple, I will call Sinclair and ask for his help"
Do you think he will help us?" I had my doubt.
I shrugged. "we will have to try"
Opening my mouth , I wanted to ask another question when the chemistry teacher walked into the class.
Ooops! I guess I will ask him later . I walked briskly to my seat and sat down; then I reached into my backpack for my chemistry note.
     "Are we ever going to find out what happened to me?" Daphne sighed.
"Of course we will". I mumbled, not sure of myself.

                               Declan Davies

    The hours dragged on till it was closing time
At last ! I muttered, all the classes today were all boring to me.
I kept my books inside my backpack, placing it gently and looked towards Sasha to see her shoving her books roughly into her backpack.
   I smiled lightly. What a girlfriend!
   Slinging my backpack across my shoulders, I got off my seat and walked up to her.
"Babe,do you  want your book to have a tear?"I teased.
   She raised her head and looked at me , then chuckled
  "Daphne just asked me the same question"
"Oh! Does she follow you to school always?"I whispered
"Yes". She nodded
  I bit my upper lips , how I wish I could see her even if it just once.
She stood up when she was done and faced me
"Let us go".
With that , we walked out of the class to the parking lot.

"So when are you going to call Sinclair?"She asked on our way to the parking lot
"when we get to the car". I answered and she nodded slowly.
All of a sudden, she nudged me to look at the opposite direction and when I did , I saw Racheal and Cory standing in front of the administration building..
As usual, Cory was carrying both hers and Racheal back pack
"why does Cory always carry Racheal back pack?"Sasha asked
I shrug . "I don't know".

Opening the car door, I got in and Sasha also did the same at her own end .
   "It is time to call Sinclair".She reminded Without waiting time , i fished out my phone from my jean pocket and dialled Sinclair number.
    It rang until his voice mail picked up.
I tried it again and this time around, he picked on second ring .
   "Please Place it on speaker". Sasha begged and I did.
"Hello Sinclair". I greeted first
"Hello". he responded. "Who is this?" his voice was calm.
"Declan Davies"
"Oh Declan. Why did it take you so long to call?" he queried. "I have been expecting your call ever since".
   "I am sorry sir", I apologised. "I was so busy with classes".
  "It is alright. so have you gotten any hint on your sister case?"
  "erm not really , can I come over to the station to explain better?".
The line went quiet and then he sighed
  "I don't think it is good idea"
   "But why?" Sasha and I exchanged puzzled look.
   "It is not something we can talk about on call". he sighed deeply. "you closed from school?"
"Yes"
"Good! Then come meet me at Petra hotel". he said and ended the phone call without waiting for my response
  "Petra hotel, Where is that?"Sasha asked
   "Down the street". I replied . "will you go with me?"
"Sure". she agreed.
  "Good". I started the car and drove down the tarred road to Petra hotel .
