Wandering Soul Chapter 5: Possession
Chapter 5: PossessionIt was break time, and I stayed inside their classroom. I kept my head down on the desk, simply soaking in the silence of the room.A loud thud broke the silence. I turned to my right. I saw a somewhat older-looking girl, compared to her classmates, slowly stand up. My eyebrows furrowed when I noticed one of Freiya’s classmates sneak behind the girl without her noticing. I stood up and walked over to them.My eyebrows were furrowed as I read what was written on the paper: “I’m so pretty, aren’t I? Are you jealous?” Oh, this is really crossing the line! I looked over at the group of male students, and I could see their grins.The girl tried to protest, but she was cut off by one of the guys. "What’s wrong? Are you going to cry? Are you going to tell your mom? Owwwwwww," he teased, and his friends laughed along. The girl stayed silent, and I could tell she was on the verge of tears. I suddenly felt sympathy for her. An emotion stirred inside me, and I wasn’t sure wh
Wandering Soul Chapter 4: Two types of Youth
Chapter 4: Two Types of YouthTHE NEXT DAY, I accompanied Freiya to school. We decided that after her classes, we would start looking for answers. As she walked in, she was almost confronted by the girl she had argued with the day before, but it didn’t happen because their teacher arrived just in time. Freiya immediately sat at her desk while I took an empty seat in the back. From where I was sitting, I could see everything.Some were laughing, some were whispering, some were quietly teasing each other, and there were also those lost in their own world, sitting quietly at their desks. Typical high school students. I probably was just like them before all of this happened. I probably was happy, just like them. But happiness… why does it feel like it's one of the things I’m missing?The teacher cleared her throat to get the attention of the class. "Good day, section Daffodil," she began."Good day, Ma’am," the whole class responded in unison."At this point, I want each of you to explain
Wandering Soul Chapter 3: Agreement
Chapter 3: AgreementI was in that position when I suddenly realized something. Am I really just going to accept this? Am I really going to stay as a ghost forever? No. Definitely NO! I need to do something.With all the strength left in me, I stood up. I walked in the direction where the girl had turned. I even ran. I’m sure she hasn’t gone far. After just one turn, a large building appeared before me."GWYNETH UNIVERSITY"I walked through the large gates of the school. Students wearing the same uniform as the girl I saw earlier were roaming around. So this must be her school. I’d surely have a hard time looking for her here. Considering I was still at the entrance and could barely see any other buildings because of the towering structures scattered across the campus, I knew it wouldn’t be easy.Without wasting any more time, I quickly scanned the entire school. Where could she be? I wandered around the campus, going in and out of ro
Wandering Soul Chapter 2: Soul
The sound of birds and the rustling of leaves woke me up the next morning. A white room greeted me as soon as I opened my eyes. There was an IV drip attached to one of my arms, and I realized I was in the hospital. I didn’t know why I was here or why I felt so light. It felt so light that I couldn't understand why. I decided to get up and look out the window. The area outside the building was clear, and the sunlight was bright. My gaze shifted to the IV in my hand. I knew I shouldn't, but I pulled it out. A little blood came out when the needle was withdrawn. I put the IV aside and looked for something to cover my hospital gown. Just then, I saw a black jacket on the sofa in the room. I grabbed it and put it on. It was the right size to cover the hospital dress.I knew I was supposed to stay here, but one of the places I hate most is the hospital. It only brings back bad memories. I walked to the door and went out. I immediately looked to the right when I heard something fall. The nurs
Wandering Soul Chapter 1: Faded
The flickering lights from the lamp illuminated my four-cornered room as I pulled its switch continuously to disturb myself from unwanted thoughts. Being alone in the middle of the night gives excruciating chills to my system, and I never get used to it.Only the lamp provides light in the room, and turning it on and off only intensifies the terrifying feeling. Something I should have gotten used to long ago. Every time I turn on the light, different kinds of images appear between my memories. Every time I turn it off, I look back into the darkness that I used to dwell in.You know, living in a dark and lonely room is quite scary, but you have to stay inside because that's where you grew up, that's where you find comfort and peace, and at the same time, pain."Aera! I heard you're a top achiever? What rank?" - I still remember when mom opened the topic at the dinner table back when daddy was still here.My fourteen-year-old face lit up, and I happily mentioned my rank at school."Yes,
