The Other

33

(Zulaykha)

Days passed... Two months to be exact... What's happened since then? Literally... Nothing, but death.

About five deaths happened in that time period. None of them were in school nor did I witness any of them.

It seems as if Alma has been lazy lately since the deaths were just a bunch of heart attacks.

Arlo, Yuki, Yasir, and I haven't been talking as much. Yasir and Yasin went home. Now, it's just Ziyad, me, and occasionally, Mohammed.

I wonder where he came from... Ziyad never really associated with anyone, but family. Mohammed just came out of nowhere...

I never asked Ziyad about him because it's not my business...

I sat in my room, on my bed, thinking about everything. Hana laid down, pretending to sleep.

I was worried about Yuki. She distanced herself from everyone ever since the incident... I needed answers from her. I decided to call Yasir and ask him if he can take me to her house.

I headed down the stairs as I heard a beep from outside. Hana followed.

We walked out the door. Crazy things have happened, but on the bright side, it was sunny outside. Not that the weather changed anything... Bad things were still happening...

We arrived at Yasir's car and I hopped in the passenger's seat while Hana hopped in the backseat.

"Ziyad's car is finally out the shop, eh?" Yasir said, examining Ziyad's Audi. Yasir always liked cars.

"Oh... Yeah..." I said, nodding my head as I remembered that day.

He drove off. "Another death." Hana said as she got a vision.

I let out a sigh. "I'd rather you not let us know that, Hana..." I said.

It's sad to think that someone is going to die in a few minutes according to Hana's vision...

After a few minutes of driving in silence, we had arrived at Yuki's house. We stepped out of the car and approached the front door. Yasir knocked and a few minutes later, Yuki had opened the door. She only opened it a crack though.

"Hey, Yuki." I said. "Can we come in?"

Yuki slowly nodded her head. We walked in and she quickly shut the door behind us. It seemed as if she were being extremely cautious since she almost died. She was cheating death... It'll happen at some point. I didn't see why anyone would just keep fighting it every single day of their life instead of just letting it happen...
