Shivers

Chapter 2

"Don't you excited for your first day of school?" Dad chirped as if tried to cheer us up which failed miserably. Irene and Adrian already frowning while i ignored him and devouring my biscuit. 

"Thank God it's our last year." Adrian muttered.  He and Irene were twins. Their resemblances were not so obvious, so people could easily mistook them for not being twins. This year was their last year.  So lucky.

"Can't wait to go away from that school." Irene added.  I hopped off from the stool,  quickly headed for the front door.

"Be careful!" Mom shouted as i closed back the front door.  It was my routine to walk to school despite both my siblings had their own car. I didn't like to ride in car.  I had bad experience in car,  so,  i kind of traumatized a bit.

Besides,  Irene and Adrian decided to treat me as total stranger at school since i would totally threatening their reputation.  Adrian as popular jock because he was the striker of our school soccer team and the vice captain. Irene in the other hand,  belong in popular clique as well as the head cheerleader.  Talk about popular genes,  they had it except for me,  the school loner.

As the school loner,  i never really did talk to anyone nor having any friends.  I didn't want my so called curse leaked out.  It was a secret of my family.  Heck,  we were working so hard concealing the fact that i could see things and also being abused by ghost and demon. I didn't complain of being lonely because i knew more people would get hurt if they associated with me. 

I walked along the pavement toward the way of the school i was currently attending,  Zachary High.  A place where surprisingly ghosts wandering around. They probably there because i was there.  I was a ghost magnet after all. The school was quite huge and roughly there were 600 students attending the school.

I fixed my big frame glasses as it almost dropped when i looked down on the ground.  This glasses was very expensive because the function of this glasses was to hide the user original eye colour.  My crimson eyes would be hidden when i wore this glasses and it would appeared to looked like dark brown.  I tried to use contact lenses before but turned out i was allergic to them. I started using this kind of glasses when i was 10.

'I'm not the rightful owner. Did this eyes aren't mine?' I thought.  My encountered with that demon 2 nights ago was like giving me a big hint.  I should've ask it what it meant.  There was no way i wanted to meet it again.  The vision he forced me to see was stucked in my mind. I didn't want to experience that again.  In fact i didn't want to meet any of its kind anymore.

I entered the school building while keeping my head down.  I didn't want to meet anyone's eyes or better yet any eyes.  I finally reached my lockar which was next to restroom.  I twisted my combination as my heart was thumping wildly.  There was always something in my lockar.  I pondered for a moment before opening the lockar and to my relief,  nothing dreadful jumped out.

I pulled out some of my books and shoved them into my sling bag.  The first period about to start.  I just hoped i went through today without ended up in infirmary. Yes,  those awful things hurt me even in broad daylight.

"Hey." Irene's voice echoed from behind me.  I turned around after shutting my lockar to face her. This was rare,  she usually treated me like i never exist in or outside school.

"Yeah?" I replied blankly.

"You're okay?" She asked.  I raised both of my eyebrows. This was the first time she said something decent to me.

"Yeah.  I'm fine." I answered. She nodded with passive expression.  "Why do you ask?"

"I heard you were crying last night." She shrugged.  I looked away from her.  Her room was just next to mine.  I guessed she heard everything that happened in my room. She knew whenever i was disturbed or abused by ghost in my room but she didn't come to help me.  Why?  Because i asked her to.
