Ralph's POV

"Here you go" i handed a cup of water to Tiffany who emptied the glass

"Thanks" she smiled and i nodded, heading out to drop back the glass cup. She pleaded with me to stay in my room for a while and i had no other choice but to give in.

"I'm sorry that this is all i can offer" i winced and she furrowed her eyebrows with a scoff escaping her lips

"Are you kidding me? " she chuckled "We are still students and this isn't an apartment"

"This girl never changes" i murmured with a slight smile

"What did you say? " she asked suspiciously

"Nothing..... " i stood up and she did as well with a flirty grin. Our faces were so close that i lost my breath immediately. She leaned in closer and the air around me was knocked out.

"You seem very far away these days" she  whispered with her lips coming closer. I fluttered and cringed backwards

She seemed surprised by my decline. "Ralph are you okay? " she asked. I ignored her and stormed out of the room, catching my breath. A tear dropped down my eyes as the memories came flying back in my head.

I ran so fast heading to the lake area, it was my best spot to clear my head and think straight, right now my mind is muzzy.

Tiffany's POV

I walked pass the hallway and into my room with my mind lost in thought. Why did Ralph refuse me.....? But what was i even thinking?

My thoughts quickly dwindled when i found my room all clean and sparkling. I didn't arrange my room before coming out so how......? I guess it's Lexie.

Within few minutes, Lexie knocked on my door and came in without even bothering to wait for my response.

"Hey Tiffany" she said and sat beside me on my cleaned bed

"Thank you so much for tidying up my room, i appreciate" i grinned and she gazed at me like i didn't know what i was saying.

"What? I didn't clean your room, i was even looking for you a while ago" she said with less concern written visibly on her face. I blenched at what she just blurted, if she wasn't the one that cleaned my room then who?

My head is so messed up right now and i could only flounder. I won't let myself go insane.

"Don't bother, i will just ask the janitor" i said and she nodded

"By the way why did you want to see me? " she asked

"Well haven't you noticed? i mean strange things that's happening in Making Waves Academy. The strange glances from students who are pale and look at me like i have an extra head. Including antiquated things and ghostly whispers" i said in detail

She flinched at the aura i unintentionally released with a grimace etching on her face

"Tiffany are you trying to scare me this early? " she asked agitatedly

"Lexie you need to believe me, i'm not trying to scare you neither am i making up stories" i coaxed and she frowned

"Tiffany for all that is good and kind, stop giving me a headache" she said ludicrously and went to pour herself a glass of water. What was i thinking? How would she believe such surreal thing?

Lexie finally left to take care of personal stuff. I went to the school's kitchen and grabbed an orange juice for myself. Walking down the hallway, i was suddenly stopped by Tessa. Surprisingly her jobless minion Poppie wasn't with her.
