Of All Girls, Why a Ghost?

A Letter to You

I rushed quickly to the faculty after I heard Mr. Runes’ call. It made me anxious and irritated at the same time. I quickly fasten my pace and ran towards to the faculty room. When I saw the faculty room, without hesitation, I barged in loudly and saw Zia sat on a chair.

“Zia,” I barked out. “How are you? Is there something wrong? Are you okay?” I insisted baffling questions one after another.

“Yes I’m fine, calm down,” she reassured.

I quickly looked over her and what intrigued my attention, her left arm, is like fading away. I swiftly looked at her left arm closely to clarify my observation.

“What’s happening to your arm?” I asked.

“I don’t know either,” she confusedly replied.

“Where’s Sir Rune?”

The moment I asked her where Mr. Rune was, the door immediately opened. Mr. Rune abruptly entered the room gasping. He tried to catch his breath and looked at us. He made a long deep breathed and stood upright in front of us, looking weary.

“Sir! What’s happening to her arm?” I immediately rushed towards him and asked about Zia’s arm.

“I don’t even know either, but if my assumption was right, she is slightly returning to her body again,” Mr. Rune assumed.

“Wait I went to the hospital where Zia was confined,” I explained. “I also talked to Ria about her and her fight with Zia,” I added.

“Wait you talked to her?” Zia jumped out from her chair and butted in the conversation.

“Yes and she said that she wants to say sorry to you for she regret all the things that she had done to you before, she said that she wanted to make up and do things right again,” I stated.

The moment I told my story, Mr. Rune was worried and talked to me about the incident, which I explained to him the story in full detail. I explained to him how I got in the hospital, to the point where Ria and I talked together. But at the time I was explaining to Mr. Rune, Zia on the other hand, stood frozen and sat back to her hair. Her face looked puzzled, weary, then she abrupt our conversation.

“I remember now,” she said. “I remember why we had a fight now”

The two of us looked at each other knowing that Zia is regaining her memories, which made us surprised. She jumped at me and hugged me tightly.

“Thank you Ken,” she said.

“Wait a minute, what really happened there Ken?” Mr. Rune interrupted. “What happened to her body?” he baffled more.

“Ria said that her heartbeat dropped down, but became stable afterwards,” I answered.

After what I spoke, Mr. Runes’ eyes became wide. His face can tell that he was shocked. He crossed his arm and held his chin with his right hand, thinking about what I said.

“I’ll search some information about this,” Mr. Rune announced while scrolling at his phone. “I’ll be going and find a way,” he proclaimed as he exited the room.

A quiet atmosphere suddenly covered the surroundings of the room. It felt awkward, but I felt fear the most. Anxiety build up in me that my heart raced every time I heard Zia’s name on the line. I looked at her, but her warm eyes pacified my anxious feeling; her smile was always warm like the sun set on the horizon. I went to her on Mr. Runes’ desk and sat on the chair beside her.

“Hey Zia, there’s something I want to show to you,” I expressed.

“What is it?” she asked.
