The Other

(Yasin)

I ended up hanging out with this girl, Amelie. She's chill and all, but to be honest...like...I was just trying to get laid, you know?

She wanted to take a walk in the woods because this house was like right near the woods. All I was thinking was, "Getting laid in the woods? Lit!"

But like...she was just talking about lame stuff, you know?

She looked up at the dark sky as we walked through the woods together.

"Look at all the bats." she said. I looked up to see bats flying all around in the sky.

Bats... Lame!

This girl was like all dark and whatnot, you know? She had really platinum blonde hair and she wore a short black dress with black combat boots. Not really my type, but she's one of the popular girls so...

If the guys find out that I banged Amelie Foy, I will be a legend!

"You know..." she said. "If we ever become a thing...please...do not have multiple girlfriends."

"Uhhh... What?" I asked.

"You Muslim boys have like 10 wives, so you think having 10 girlfriends is okay, but it's not. Your religion is just crazy..." she said.

I rolled my eyes. "Listen, lady. I don't want anything from you except sex. Second of all, don't ever disrespect my religion. We treat women with uttermost respect. Not all Muslim men even marry more than once. Especially not here in America." I said.

"Wow." she said. "T-That was...so...hot!" she said. She pinned me against a tree.

"Uh... Hey... You don't have to be so rough." I said.

She pulled off my clothes one by one until I was completely naked. She then tied me to a tree.

"Uh... Hey..." I said. "We can talk about this..."

"Shut up and let me do all the work." she said with a smirk. She blindfolded me with my shirt.

"Huh... What are you doing?" I asked. "Hurry up. I'm cold."

"Look who's all ready for me... So impatient. I'm going to tease you since you like to rush people."

"No... Please, don't do that. I'm just an innocent junior, you know..." I said.

I nodded my head. Hana smiled.

"Many years ago... I saw a jinn in the desk that you sit in during first period. A girl named Alma Anderson sat in the desk. I warned her not to. She was islamophobic. She didn't listen to me or even reply to me... Everyone was rude to her. They bullied her, calling her a jinn and making fun of her for being islamophobic, but that's just how she was raised. She killed herself. She jumped out of the window during a test in class." Hana explained.

"So... That's what Yuki and Arlo were talking about earlier..." I said.

Hana nodded her head. "Alma's spirit told me something... She told me she wanted revenge. Since she died, no one sat in that desk. They say a 'ghost' sits there..." Hana explained. "You were the first to sit there. You made a big mistake. Alma told me that when someone sits there, calamity will occur. People will die... The heart attack... That was all her. I wonder who will die next..."

I couldn't believe this. Is this girl for real? I was speechless.

"Hm... Where's Yasin?" Hana asked.

My eyes widened.

"No..." I said. "He can't be next! I have to save him!"

Hana chuckled. "Zulaykha... You can't cheat death... It'll happen one way or another..."
