Grim + Ghost

chapter 3

Chapter 3 : September 3rd , 6 am

Catrina could barely remember what happened after she saw that girl laying on the floor, she knows the school went on lockdown and the teachers sent the students to their dorm rooms, but she couldn't remember whether she tried to bring the girl back or if people thought it was her. She didn't want the nicknames to come back she was sick of being sister death or Frankenstein. Those nicknames are why she decided to change her look up so much over the years she wasn't really in the mood to stand up and get out of her bed, but her roommate had already started her morning routine which consisted of her blasting vampire weekend and singing along. Sighing catrina stood up and walked over to her bag to look for clothes.

" we have seriously got to go out and get you some room decorations staring at that blank wall is just heartbreaking" catrina laughed turning to face her roommate who stood dressed in athletic wear , her long hair was down at the moment and catrina was able to see that her roomie was actually quite a bit taller than her.

"And we have to get you better clothes, do you only wear gym wear ?" emily gave a small smile but catrina knew she felt tense about something.

"Do you want to talk about last night, i mean people don't often die here and it's your first day so you must be shaken" Catrina tensed but she felt relieved her roommate didn't think she was a cold-blooded killer.

" I'm fine, i'm mostly worrying about the girl and her family, i mean the worst is seeing someone you care about pass" catrina paused and sighed " death is always gonna be scary but the living are the ones who have to carry it"

She could feel emily just staring at her it made catrina feel insecure and nervous.

" Her sister left this morning at five i was the one who walked her to her room in the aftermath of all of that but please let's not talk about all this gloom and doom, the teachers are gonna make a speech about all this later on in the day... it's not the first time a student has died on campus but it-" she paused and stood up, catrina wished emily hadn't stopped talking because now it was all just awkward and uncomfortable or maybe catrina was just uncomfortable emily looked to be deep in thought. Her deep thought didn't last long as she jumped up off her bed.

"Go get ready , how about we go to the store and pick up room decorations and more clothes for you" catrina smiled and thought about it till she realised something. " i wish we could but i don't have any money, i mean we can't just walk in and take things"

"That's all right , i have it covered my brothers dad is rich and I can get my brothers card" cartina gave her roommate a look, this girl has to be crazy she thought.

"Please cat" catrina smiled at the nickname " let me do this i mean yesterday is not what i expected it to be and youre new and i really want to bond with you pretty please" normally catrina would say no but for some reason looking at her roommate she uttered out a yes , picked her clothes back up and walked into the bathroom. Catrina wasn't sure what she was doing she knew it wasnt smart getting close to people especially since her powers were not completely under control, sure she didn't kill everyone she looked at but she couldn't control who died when she used her powers more often than none it's been the person who she last spoke to our who was on her mind. She didn't want that person to be emily a girl who was just being so nice to her. Catrina didnt stop worrying about the girl outside the bathroom as she got ready , she kept seeing emily as the girl from yesterday eyes white mouth wide and not breathing, closing her eyes and letting the water run down her face she counted to five and repeated to herself you're not a monster, you're powers are not you. Her mantras were interrupted by someone banging on the door.
