Ghost In Love

Act 4: Acquainted Ghost

Emily POV

The teacher is discussing the lesson. Wala naman akong maitindihan. I died when I was third year highschool. Actually, vacation bago mag-fouth year. Kung anu-ano dinidiscuss niya. Suddenly...

"Cameron, stand up and find the slope of this given equation.", of course, I stood up. Nasa katawan ako ni Cameron that's why tatayo ako. Wala nga akong masagot eh.

"Nakatunganga ka lang. You're not even listening to the lecture.", the teacher said.

"Ma'am, kasi po busy po ako sa pagtingin ng mga kotse sa bintana eh."

"Aba! Sumasagot ka pa", the teacher said. She hit my hands 10 times using a stick.

"Aray ko! Ang sakit ah!", I said. Ginagawa ko ito para mapahiya si Cameron, hindi dahil sa bastos ako.

"Umaangal ka pa!", the teacher said. "Bastos ka! Ibabagsak kita talaga!", she added.

"Go! Ibagsak mo ko.", I told her. She ignored me and continue the discussion.

--- Dismissal Time ---

Umalis na ko sa katawan ni Cameron. Sawa na ko dun. Lumilipad ako ngayon para bantayan si James. Pero alam kong di niya ko nakikita. What can I do para makita niya ko. He is on the way to his house. Pagdating niya sa bahay, sinalubong agad siya ng kuya niya.

"James, ano?", he asked.

"What do you mean?", James asked.

"Inaway ka pa rin ni Cameron?"

"Yeah! Nagalit siya sa akin. He brought me to the cr and he choked me. Good thing, I was saved by a..."

"By what?"

"Nothing. By my classmate. He saved me.",

"Who's that classmate?"

"Emily. Si Emily nagligtas sa akin. Kuya. Tinakot niya si Cameron."

"Mali ka ng pronoun. Sabi mo he. Dapat she yun."

"Oo nga pala! I forgot.", James replied. Ang kulit talaga nilabg mag-kuya. They started to eat dinner while me...guess what? Nakatunganga lang ako. Nagtatawanan lang sila habang kumakain. Patay na ba parents nila? Parang laging wala dito. Hayaan ko na nga ang buhay nila. Basta, I'll help James in his problems.

James POV

I woke up at 4:30 in the morning. Kailangan kong pumasok kahit na masama pakiramdam ko. I get inside the bathroom but I was shocked when I saw a ghost but I didn't let the fear conquer me.

"Who're you?", I asked.

"What? Nakikita mo ko?", she asked. Sino ba siya?

"Yeah! Of course. I'm talking to you right now.", I replied.

"I'm the one who talked to you yeaterday. I'm Emily Madison."

"Emily? Yay! So, I can see you."

"Yeah! I don't know why. I think its a miracle.", she said.

"Yeah! Pinagtagpo tayo dahil ikaw lang ang makakatulong sa akin."

"Malamang."

"Ang ganda mo pala Emily.", I told her.

"Nambola ka pa. Ikaw, gwapo ka talaga.", she told me.

"Sana buhay ka na lang."

"Why do you say so?"

"Para maligawan kita.", I told her. "Just kidding.", I added.

"Sige. Labas muna ako para makaligo ka na.", she told me and I let her do that. I took a bath. After that, I fixed myself and on the way to school na.
