MR. ROBERT'S OFFICE
Mr. Belvis Roberts, Laura's father stood up from his desk, quite stressed after attending to a pile of documents on his desk. He called his secretary and ordered her to cancel the rest of his meetings."Good, thank you. Bye", he dropped the line and strolled over to a table opposite the door. He took his cup of coffee and trod back to his desk. Just when he was about to settle back in his chair, a strong wind from no where blew and Laura's picture frame on his desk fell to the floor, scattering the pieces of its glass all over the floor. He had the picture frames of his family, Amy, Mya , Laura and Kelvin decorated on his desk in such a way that it's quite impossible to fall off easily. Mr. Roberts gazed down at the frame in awe. "Laura? How is this possible? What's happening?", he mumbled nervously.SCHOOL
Fred quickly rushed to the door to find out who it was. He trembleMrs Amy sat on the sofa with teary eyes as she gazed down at her son who laid on the sofa with his head resting on her laps. She gently caressed his hair while she kept humming softly to him, looking all devastated and depressed. Her mind racing in space. It's been almost an hour without any news of her daughter's whereabout. A tear dropped down her eyes, she sniffed and swiftly wiped it off with her hand. After realizing Kelvin was fast asleep, she took a quick glance at her phone next to her if she had missed any call but still had none. She gently adjusted Kelvin's head on one of the pillows on the sofa and stood up as quite as she could, not waking him up. She sighed, glanced at Laura's picture on the table and trod off to the kitchen to get some water. Just then, her phone rang. She hurriedly rushed and picked it up; it was Mya."Mya? what's going on?Have you found her?", she stuttered but trembled at the sobering tone over the phone. "What is it, Mya? Talk please"
The Roberts family got home, sullen and drenched in sorrow. Mya alighted from the car and hurriedly dashed off to her room in tears."Mya? Mya? Mya!", Mrs Amy called in tears but she faded into the house without a word nor turning back. Mr Roberts held Amy with a meaningful look, "Let her be for now, Amy. She'll soon come around". She stared at his face with teary eyes and nodded. Kelvin held her hand and gently caressed it."Let's get in now ", said Roberts, leading Amy and Kelvin towards the door. Laura strolled behind them sobbing. *************Mya stood behind Laura's door, sullen, graved and vacant as tears continued rolling down her cheeks. She scoffed and sniffed as she slowly pushed the door open.She paused at the entrance as she kept scanning through the once fun filled room with Laura's presence which had now turned bleak and cold without her. She weakly stepped in and locked the door b
It's been a week without Laura and to this effect not an easy one for the Roberts' family and Laura's friends especially Alixes who held her dying friend in her arms to the hospital. She had been traumatized after witnessing such brutal site and had since been under a psychological therapy to help calm her. Investigations to help bring the culprits to book also proved futile. Everyone was made to believe she committed suicide out of frustration; this bugged Mya's mind."Why will Laura do such a thing? ", she wondered gazing at her sister's picture on the wall in her room. "We always share our problems and frustrations together so if something is going on with her why couldn't she tell me? And come to think of it, she's not someone who runs away from her problems .Something is not right, there is more to this which I need to find out. Don't worry Laura, I'll find out what really happened ", she mumbled to herself, picked up her car keys and hand bag, rushing out of the room.
Mya approached the administration block, zoning out with her mind flooded with unanswered questions; she needed answers to. This made her more determined to get answers to solve all those mysteries. A ring from her phone suddenly drew her attention back to reality."Damn, who could it be?", she mumbled, glaring at her bag. She sighed, rummaging through her bag for the phone. After a second, she finally drew out the phone and checked the caller. It was her mother.Mya exhaled, tilting her head as she answered the call, approaching the administration block with small paces. "Yes, mum, what is it?"."Sorry, dear, I just.... ", Amy answered from the other end of the phone but Ben and his friends suddenly bumped into Mya in a rush, making her phone and documents fall to the ground before Amy could finish her words."Ouch, hey! watch it! Is this how you just run around aimlessly over here? ", she shouted angrily as she rounded up her things from the ground. Amy h
Amy slowly drew the phone from her ear, all depressed and frustrated with heavy heart. She scoffed, involuntarily blinking her eyes as tears strolled down her cheeks. Her gaze fell on Laura's picture on the wall_with a morose look, she drifted closer. A faint, sorrowful smile dazzled on her face as she gently brushed her hand over the frame."(sniffs with tears in her eyes)Nothing had ever been the same with your absence, Laura, my baby. Everyone misses you, especially, Mya and Kelvin(sobs); mummy misses you too", she mumbled and breaks down in tears.Kelvin stood over the stairs without Amy's notice. He glanced at her mother in tears. His heart always ache to see his family especially his mother in such pain and agony after that day. Every passing day was like hell, a nightmare that was inevitable. His father hardly comes home from work and Mya always returns late and drunk. Her once, loving, introvert and caring personality suddenly turned cold.He
INFIRMARYMya and Laura sat beside Alix's bed, nervous. Laura gazed down at Alixes and back at Mya, worriedly. She drew closer to Mya and leaned over her shoulder, "Do you think she'll be alright?", she mumbled but had no response from her since she couldn't hear or see her. She sighed, devastated and strolled back to her seat. "What am I even thinking? Definitely, she can't even see or hear me. What's the use_ been a ghost is so devastating and heartbreaking".She faint into the chair and stared down at Alixes with teary eye. "Please be safe", she murmured softly_caressing Alixes hand.Just then, Betty trod in, Mya approached her nervously. Laura stared at them expectantly."She's been like this for the past three hours. Do you think she'll be alright?", Mya queried.Betty nodded with a smile," Sure, Miss Mya". She assured and glided towards Alix's bed. Mya paced after her with rapt attention."She was just in a state of shock_There wasn't any ma
By the flip of a finger, Raina was already right beside Rubin. Lupita, Jack and Ivy gazed at her in awe. "Geez, she can be so unbelievable – how can she just ditch us like that?", mumbled Ivy with wide–eyed, slightly shaking her head wearing a deadpan gaze. Jack and Lupita chuckled,"That's so like her", Jack whispered and they both laughed.Rubin dropped his bag beside his desk and turned only to find Raina staring at him with her head on the desk. He flinched, startled by her presence next to him since he wasn't expecting her. With a sheepish smile, she stuttered "Oops, sorry, I startled you."Raina is a blond hair girl who's well known for her overly self- esteem and clingy attitude.Wearing a bright smile, she stretched out her hand towards him,"Hi, I'm Raina Richardson – Nice to meet you, Rubin". He smiled and cheerfully shook her hands,"Hey, nice to meet you too, Raina"."Um, I guess you're the owner of this desk right here",
"No, Rubin, don't talk to her– she's a ghost. Don't make her find out you can see her", he faintly whispered to himself, looking down at Alixes.Laura glared at him with quite a disappointed and confused look, slowly dropping her hand from the wave. The previous smile slowly faded away."Is it really true he can't see me?", she wondered in her thoughts. "But why did I feel he did? He even looked at my direction in shock. No, I got to find out myself– I'm so sure he saw me". A mischievous smile suddenly dazzled on her face as she stared at him thoughtfully.He stared down at Alixes with a faint smile and dropped her bag on the table beside the bed, ignoring Laura's gaze. "Hey, Alixes, I know you don't know me but don't worry, I'm your new friend. We are in the same class and also sit next to each other in class now. I just came to drop your bag". He sighed, wearing a faint smile as he gently brushed his hands through her hair and caressed her face. "W
