Revenge of a Dead Girl

Chapter 4

Yoo ma~

It was that very moment that I regretted everything I have done, I lost my one true friend because of my childishness. A year already passed but I couldn't forget about her, how she asked for my help, how she cried, how she suffered.

"Yoo ma, wake up. You're gonna be late for school." I heard my dad's voice downstairs, snapping me from my trance.

I stood up from my bed, leaning over my dresser, I looked closely at my reflection in the mirror. Seeing that my eyes were dead inside, I looked away and began preparing for school.

"Dad, I baked cupcakes for you and your coworkers, it is in the fridge," I said as I walk past them and went through the front door.

"Ah thanks, I'll make sure to give it to them!" I heard him yell from inside, and I continued walking without stopping.

I can see some students that were also on their way to school, but I turned around and walked to the other direction, plucking a white rose from someone else's garden as I walk past it and soon reached the cemetery.

I searched for her and saw the words Park Young Ji engraved on the stone. Placing the white rose on top of it, I stood quietly.

"Sorry," I mumbled, closing my eyes before walking away.

When I reached the gate of the school, the same scene was unfolding before my eyes as I continue to stride forward. I walked past students from the soccer club who were jogging around the school grounds since it is their morning practice, I passed through the hallway with a few groups of students chatting beside the locker, some of them greeting me with respect. When I finally reached my destination, which is the student council room, I slid the door open to see Miss Ahreum quietly writing down a few notes on the board for us to see later, but since I was way too early I saw it before everyone else. It says "If you're exhausted from paper works feel free to join me for tea later this afternoon." with random doodles around it.

"Miss Ahreum, good morning." I cleared my throat to let her now that I was here since she was too occupied in doodling that she didn't hear the door sliding open. She made a startled noise and immediately turned around to face me with a shy grin.

"Yooma, you're early as always. It must be tough to be the president." She pulled out a chair from the long rectangular table at the middle where we conduct our meeting and put it closer to the board so she can continue doodling while sitting down.

"I can manage," I remarked as I sat on the chair located next to the very edge of the table and took out my folders and a pen. I started jotting down a few notes about the students' activity, I saw the soccer club practicing so I wrote it down for status report later.

My mind becomes automatically functioning whenever I do my work in the student council, my pen was furiously moving on its own and my eyes were darting from here and there. The strokes of my pen were rather fierce and rattling, it was as if I was just messily doodling on the paper and filling it with black ink.

When I snapped out of my automatic trance, I looked down on the paper, It was only then that I realized that I was actually filling the whole paper with black ink. I doodled a rather ominous creature on it, it was shaped like a hideous person but at the same time, it looked like it has no definite shape since it was like a floating shadow. The creature has no facial features except for two round and extremely blank eyes. I sighed and excused myself from the room, trying to clear my mind.

For some unfortunate events, I happen to be in the same class as those people who made fun of Young Ji. Fei, Irene, Joon and everyone else. It's like God is trying to see what I would do to them, but I am too self-centered to even waste a breath to speak to those people.
