a Beautiful Soul (a short story) COMPLETED

Chapter 2

A typical day. A lonely day. 6 years in this lifeless form I barely exist. I have no one to talk to. The sadness is killing me, actually I died 6 years ago. No. My body died 6 years ago. I'm just a wandering spirit in earth. I feel sad, but I can't shed a single tear. Sometimes I wish I should have died with my body. I wish I never left my body and let my soul died with it.

The street im standing right now is full of busy people, walking and not even glancing in my direction. Non-sense. They can't see me of course. If people can see me they will think I'm crazy for just standing, not moving and staring blankly.

A group of students passed through my body. It annoys me but I cannot blame them, they can't see me, I don't exist in this world. I'm no longer part of this world. Well, sometimes when I'm bored, I use someone else's body to be part of this world again but I'm fooling myself. I haven't done that for 2 years and its an achievement. I don't wanna use other people's body again. Its their life. I died years ago. I mean, my body died years ago.

A guy stared at my direction. He looks professional, black hair, slightly taller than me, has a medium sized body, fair complexion and round eyes. He's kinda cute. I stared back. Oh no.. Wait.. He saw me. It can't be real. I'm really sure he saw me. For the first time in 5 years I actually have an actual eye-to-eye contact with a person. I suddenly feel so alive. I run forward to catch him. He really is aware of me, he walked faster... to avoid me.

Okay.. Okay.. Relax.. I shouldn't get so excited. I have to think. He will freak out of  course if  he find out what I am. He entered  the school. Judging from his uniform and appearance, he's a teacher. I entered the school and look for the faculty office. I'm sure he's here. I'm right. He is there sitting on a desk and opening a laptop. Hmmm.. What should I do? He saw me, can he hear me too? I guess so. I walked slowly towards him and from behind, he became so aware of me.

I cannot talk to him directly. People will think he's crazy talking to himself. I will talk to him later in his house when he's alone. I remembered the very first person who can see spirits like me. His name is Tom, just 14 years old. I tried to talk to him but he freaked out. Saying I'm just his imaginations that I am not real. He thought he's crazy. He went to a psychiatric center for recovery.  Poor Tom, he was perfectly normal. I ruined his life. I don't have any updates regarding his condition.

This guy is my only chance. I have to do it slowly and surely. After all, this guy looks tougher than Tom. I moved slowly to his direction. Then I whispered to his hear.

"I'll talk to you later, in your house when no one can see us"

He shuddered. A little bit shocked but he acted cool.

"Hey Miss, What do you need from me?" The guy said

I just smiled and walked away from him. Too soon to tell. I will just have to wait for him outside and follow him to his house.

I felt so excited. Never felt this for a year. Should I use someone else's body? Hmm.. I think no. I will show up like this. He doesn't have any idea what I am... so far..

"Dayenne, it's your chance to connect to earth.. once again" i blurted those words out loud. No one can hear me anyways.
