Tiffany's POV
I lingered at the lake area staring into space. My head was rumbling from my continuous effort to remember something valid, but to no avail. What mystery is behind the strange things that happened yesterday night? Why was i at the forest in the first place?
I'm certain Ralph knows something but he won't let me in, he prefers to keep me in the dark. I doubt if Lexie and Benji knows anything about my sudden disappearance from school. Even if they knew would they tell me?
I got tired of gazing at the lake so i decided to go back to my room and have the rest everyone's forcing on me. I stride into the hallway to meet a stunned silent passage way. Did anything happen here? The hallway was as cold as that of a graveyard, like no one schooled here at all.
I halted staring all around me, is this still Making Waves Academy or a haunted school? I'm so scared. The hallway was so calm that if a pin falls to the floor, it would be heard. I took in a deep breath making my way out of the hallway, immediately i stepped on the stairs, i heard it. I heard those whispers again, yes, the ghostly whispers and it was sounding all around me in a siren pitch.
My ear felt heavy due to the resonance of the siren sound. I tried to scream only to realize that i could not hear my own voice as well. The ghostly whispers were hovering around me with so much intensity. I tried to run but my legs seemed glued to the ground, so i fell on my knees weeping like a baby, praying that the torture would stop.
I was finally freed, the ghostly whispers and siren sound had stopped. I stood up lurching from side to side unsteadily, but the snigger i heard after made me forget how whacked i had become as i ran upstairs without looking back. I jumped into my room and made sure to lock the door behind me.
I rested on the door panting heavily with beads of sweat appearing on my forehead. The belligerent voices i heard awhile ago still rang in my ears. I took in a deep breath of fear only for my gaze to land on my bed making me halt.
What happened here? My bed was scattered like someone was in my room when i wasn't around.
I stared around me for another clue but nothing, the bed was the only clue that someone was in my room earlier. With a sigh, i checked the door's bolt to see if it's broken but it wasn't
What is happening to me? Why all these strange things? I would go insane if i don't get an answer.
With a sulky look, i went straight to the bed to arrange it. After that, i spotted my mobile phone on the floor behind the bed. I smiled slightly and picked it up.
Turning it on i realized there was no signal, that's unusually strange. Perhaps it's because of the storm. I dropped it on my tea table and laid on the bed facing upwards. I really need to get some rest to clear my head.

As i slept, suddenly, i felt some liquids dripping on my face. What the heck? So i can't sleep anymore?, i cursed inwardly and squinted my eyes and saw something red. Blood!
"Yaah! " i plunged out of the bed with fear engulfing me. I opened my eyes again and saw nothing. I touched my face but felt no liquid. I panted in relief.
"Tiffany it was just a dream. Just relax it was just a dream, relax yourself" i assured myself as i continued panting. After few minutes i calmed down and reached for my phone.
There still wasn't any signal. What's actually going on? I can't explain. I jerked my head towards the window, the storm was already over. I sluggard my way out of the bed heading to the window.
With a visible grimace on my face, i lifted up the curtains and hanged them. The bright sun shone into the room and kissed my skin. It gave me a new hope because of the new day i could witness. I thought i was actually dead and now being haunted by ghosts.
I ended my chains of thoughts and made my way to the bathroom to shower. The bathroom wasn't like the room, this time, it was clean and tided up. Thank goodness i'm not gonna stress myself by cleaning the bathroom too.
I was done showering and went to my wardrobe, my clothes were neatly arranged there. It wasn't dusty like the curtains and the other disgusting things
I smiled, practically not willing to let it perturb me at all. I pulled out a white Halter top and a pair of blue jeans. I'm set for today. I walked out of my room making sure to lock the door. As i walked into the hallway, i spotted Lexie scuttling towards me
"Hi friend, c'mon we have class" she said eagerly
"Aren't we going to have breakfast first? " i whined and she snorted
"After our first class, we can go and it" with that she abruptly dragged me along with her.

Ralph's POV
After showering i walked into my room and recoiled in fear. Benji was in my room reading a book, he giggled at me. I glanced at the door, i had forgotten to lock it.
"Hey dude you scared me" i panted slightly and headed to my wardrobe
"Next time remember to lock your door before going into the shower" he teased
I rolled my eyes as i searched for something to wear. I wonder what he's doing in my room so early in the morning.
"Okay, why are you here? " i asked, my gaze still fixed in the wardrobe.
"Hmm, i came for us to go to class together" he blurted and i turned to him with a chuckle. He furrowed his eyebrows at me in confusion.
"What's so funny? " he asked wacky
"Sorry..... sorry" i tried to stifle more chuckles threatening to escape my lips. Benji i knew would never join me for classes, he would prefer to go with his girlfriend Lexie
"It's quite queer you know, you always go with Lexie so i'm just surprised" i giggled
"Well i want to go with you today, Lexie's best friend is back so we must continue being buddy's" he winked. Now i know Benji is so high on cheap drugs, yes we are good friends but he's forgetting that i'm a class ahead of him and we don't attend same classes
"Benji what really do you want? We don't have same classes remember" i reminded
"Oh..... " he giggles ridiculously, then i gazed soberly at him
"Fine, you caught me. I just want to know when you are gonna tell her the whole truth because it seems she doesn't remember" he grim' making me to swallow hard
"Her, you mean Tiffany? " i asked awkwardly
"What does it look like i'm saying? Am i speaking in foreign languages? " he snapped and i snorted in a silly way.
I don't know, and the truth is that i don't know how to tell her everything without hurting her. She might hate me forever if i do so.
"No, she's better off like this. The truth will only cause her pain. I can't risk that" i said solemnly and he laid out an exhale
"I totally understand Ralph but you can't hide it from her forever. She will eventually find out sooner or later" he said somber. My hopes of starting anew shrink as my whole world came crushing to the ground. How do i tell her?
