High School Traumas

CHAPTER 7

Tiffany's POV

I left Ralph at the school's lake, walking around to distract myself from getting pissed off. Ralph seemed to have vowed not to tell me anything and i as well, i have vowed not to ask again.

He's undeniably making a fool out of me by keeping me in the dark. What if that secret has something to do with my sudden change of living, my illusions and messed up head?

Yeah right, he won't consider that; like i mean nothing to him. If we're in a relationship like Tessa blurts, then why is he purposely letting me loose my sanity? Is he going to watch me as i go completely insane?

Countless thoughts ran through my mind, i just couldn't fathom an explanation for that. Passing by the Principals office, i overheard some mutters from the Principal and Director

"I did everything i could to be a good brother to him but i failed. I just wanted us to be a family but he was way too greedy. Now he has succeeded in ruining everything"

Ruining what? i wondered as i halted to eavesdrop. I know eavesdropping is wrong but right now, i'm so curious to get answers for everything.

"Spencer it's not your fault, you didn't do anything wrong. Is his hatred for you that brought about this. I mean it's all over now"

Who's hatred? Who the hell are they talking about? Why can't they be more specific?

I frowned knowing i wouldn't get anything from them. I already have too much in my plate, i'm not ready to add more. Especially the one that will only puzzle me more

I need to find out what's going on before this illusions becomes true reality. I won't remain alive if this haunting ghosts becomes for real.

I rather die before that time comes, because i can't take it, i won't take it at all.

I sagged heading back to my room, and also hoping against hopes that my illusions won't occur again.

For weeks now i haven't been able to communicate with my parents, i do miss them so much. It just hurts a lot. I climbed on my bed wetting the pillow with my tears

I'm tired, i'm tired of everything; i can't take it anymore. I better loose my life in my sleep than to wake up again to another illusions.

Lexie's POV

I was done with my shower and ready to have some good sleep. The clouds outside were already dark with the stars appearing one after the other.

When will everything end? When will i be able to leave this school and finally be with my family?

When will my messed up life be pulled back together?

All these questions popped its way into my mind, causing tears to pour down my face. I have held it for so long but i can't anymore.

I stood by my window staring up at the beautiful clouds. The stars were already dancing in the clouds, making the sight of it so magical.

How i wish this is how peaceful and bright life will be. No more fears to always rise up to. The more i thought, the more everything seemed impossible.

I felt someone else's presence in my room, so i spin around to scour an empty room. It was just me and myself in the room. I looked at my mirror to find a ghost. A ghost lady!

I screamed and tried running out of the room, but swiftly she appeared right in front of me, holding my legs.

I smacked to the floor, struggling to escape from her grip on my legs but to no avail. Fear engulfed me as i cried, grunted, growled for the ghost to let me go. But it seemed as if she was determined to kill me.

Sharp pain pierced my legs as i screamed for help, no one came to my aid, no one heard my cries. My eyes darted to my legs, the ghost's long claws were piercing in my legs. Blood gushing out speedily

I pleaded in my heart for help to come, but my prayers weren't heard, talk more of being answered.

I had already given up for death to wrap its cold hands around me. I'm here alone with a ghost who will stop at nothing but to kill me and i'm defenseless. Perhaps this is the very dead.

Tiffany's POV

My eyes jerked open immediately i remembered i haven't taken my night shower. I can't reek myself to bed, i need to wash away the negative vibes that seems to be imprinted on my body.

I sluggishly got out of the bed to realized i was all soaked from head to toe. It was like i'm currently in an oven my room has suddenly turned to be.

My eyes dilated with horror, "Wait, i can't be soaked in my own sweats, can i?"

I abruptly scurried into my bathroom to have a very cold shower. How come the weather is unnaturally hot like hell?

I removed my soaked clothes and turned on the shower. I had three showers in my bathroom, that's how other bathrooms are though.

As the water ran down my back, i felt cool and relaxed now. My wonderful moment was ruined in the shower when i heard some noise in the bathroom

I turned off the shower to realize that the two other showers were rushing of waters. I can't remember turning on those. I frowned and offed them, only to find the other shower turn on by itself

Wait, how did that happen? 

I grabbed my towel and clutched to it tightly in fear. As i continued watching in horror, i realized the water coming from the showers had turned red, thick red. Blood!

I screamed and ran out of the bathroom wrapping myself with the towels, I reached for my clothes and wore them.I won't take it anymore, I can't continue like this. I rushed out of the room screaming my lungs out.

I ran into the hallway ignoring the stares I was getting from the few students in the hallway, they need to know that I have completely lost it.

I bumped into Tessa who held me by my hands. I'm in no mood for her drama right now, I just want to leave, I want to run away from everything.

"Tessa please not now" I pleaded and she unusually looked rueful

"Come with me" she requested while holding my hand

"Why?" I pulled my hand away from hers, no longer interested in tolerating anything anymore.

"If you want the truth, then come with me" she said and I calmed down. Of course I want to know the truth by all means. If she's going to tell me,then I might as well risk it.

Benji's POV

I was standing staring at the drawings I had achieved this year in school. All Lexie's drawings and pictures. My door suddenly banged breaking my chains of thoughts.

I quivered to see Ralph barged into my room, he was a mess and beads of sweat forming on his forehead.

"Bro what's the matter?" I asked, my eyes darting to his hands. He held the two RATI diaries. Wait, that can't be good. Does Tiffany know?

"Where did you find those?" I found myself asking in horror and he gave the same reaction

"I found it in Tiffany's room, she knows. Please where is she? I can't find her" he gibbered in fear.

"I don't know, let's go check in Lexie's room" I suggested and he gave an impatient nod of confirmation. We both scurried out of the room heading to Lexie's room.

My eyes dilated in horror to find Lexie sitting on the floor of her room, numbed and waxen. What, what happened to her?

"Lexie!" I called out, rushing to her. Her legs were bleeding. The students has attempted to kill her. I have to tell her the truth.

"Benji I'm going to die. The ghost is going to kill me" she wrecked and I exhaled

"You should tell her" Ralph said and her eyes widened

"Tell me what?"

"Benji, I better look for Tiffany" Ralph exited the room. Leaving me with the baffled Lexie. How the hell do I tell her?
