Chapter 57

I sighed in desperation.
I mean, I've just iced out my brother.
But I just couldn't have him knowing that I've been imagining things again.
Aya stared up to me in confusion.

"Adelle, are you okay ?"
Let me tell you something.
Mariam died when we were only fifth-graders. At that time, we were quite young, and quite naive.
We were told that Mariam died in her bathroom when she was showering, and we simply believed it.

I can't tell you that I believed that too.
I knew better.
I bought that excuse for a year, almost a year, and then, when I rethought it, I started to doubt it.

Mariam was a friend ever since we were kindergarteners, and mum liked her so much because we were little and Mariam was 'taking' care of me.
However, as we grew older, girls started bullying her, telling her she was too fat, too tall, too idiotic. And I hated every moment of it, but I had other friends like Hanin (unfortunately) and that distracted me.

Then, one morning, I was sitting around with my friends when I saw a girl from 5/B crying. I was confused, but didn't give her attention. One, because we never talk. Two, because girls cry all the time, especially fifth-graders.

But then, girls from 5/B all started to cry.
(bitches didn't even like her, but you know, they were all showing off that they care, as always.)
And soon enough, girls from our class started to cry too. And as soon as I knew, I cried too.
I was way naive back then, and was so devestated.

Later, I started to doubt the reason, because with that time, we were interested in knowing more about the school, as rumors about the school being haunted spread out.

Did Mariam die in the school ?
Now that I'm old enough, I know better.
She didn't die in the school. but as a ghost, she's trying to take all her anger out on the people who made her suffer in her life. People who graduated over two years ago.

So, she's practically haunting innocent girls.
Not that they're all sweet and innocent.

Anyway, memories time over.

"I..didn't you see it ?"
She shook her head.
"See..what ?"
I didn't want to go through all of this again, so I just shrugged it off.
"Nothing."

Aya knew better than to argue, so she kept quiet.
We kept walking quickly, trying to find Mars' body, but then we heard something.

It sounded like someone was playing the Piano.
The piano.
When it's almost six in the evening in a school where all students leave at two.
Nuns don't play piano, do they ?

"Where is that coming from ?"
Aya said, nervous.
I murmered an answer like 'I don't know', because I didn't want to frighten her even more, then she'll regret she even came with me.

I didn't want to tell her that whenever I pass that part of the school I have to hear that noise. Sad, depressed music. Then it would turn to that music they play in horror movies. The music that gave you chills. Not that the music room is anywhere near here.

So what was it coming from ?
