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

"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

RUBIN'S ROOMRubin chuckled softly, turning back to his laptop with his back facing her, "Stop spilling rubbish, Laura", he mumbled, typing something on his machine. "Who says I don't smile, I'm not a non-living thing or something of that sort. I'm human so I definitely smile". He glanced back at Laura who had her eyes fixed on him with a sardonic, mischievous smile.Noticing the look on her face, he softly chuckled roguishly, facing her in the process which made Laura chuckle witheringly as well. He unexpectedly pricked her nose, playfully with a deadpan look. "Huh, what's with that look –what's funny?". Ouch, hey, that hurts", she cried, not realizing that he was able to touch her. Laura wore an etched look with her fingers caressing her nose, pretending to be in pain. Rubin felt guilty; he immediately pulled her closer with a concerned, worried look, examining her nose. Laura, engulfed with the handsome face close to hers couldn't help it but got mesmerized to h

"We need to talk." She hastily uttered and without waiting for Rubin's response, dragged him along. "Hey!" Laura muttered, "Come on Alexis–" She threw her hands dramatically in the air. Her anxiety almost made her forgot that she merely existed. "Who am I even talking to?" She snarled and went after them.Rubin on the other hand, knew without being told what he was in for but then, this wasn't the time. They were both going to get it hard from Mr. Hooks if they should get to class late."Hold on Alexis." He instinctively snatched his hand from her, stopping in his tracks. "I know what this is about but trust me, this isn't the time. Alright." He sighed, pausing for some seconds. "How about we meet on the rooftop during break? I promise to tell you everything you want to know." Alexis wore a sceptical look, staring densely at Rubin as she brooded on whether to believe him or not. "Come on Alexis." Rubin interrupted her thought, swiftly glancing

Laura was standing at the entrance to the rooftop, watching her friend paced to and fro when Rubin walked in on her from behind."Was wondering where you left to." He said, making Laura jerked, swiftly turning in the process to meet his face just an inch away.She stood staring at him with those puppy grey eyes and the whole world seemed to froze at that moment. Taking in the sight of those shinning blue eyes, an unusual sensation raced through her heart, making it thump faster. "W–what's this feeling?" She grumbled mentally to herself.It was Rubin's first time having this close eye contact with Laura. He felt those eyes telling him something but couldn't place a hand on what it could be. Her eyes bored into him and for a second, he felt like curbing her face. To assure her he would be there for her and protect her. To tell her everything was going to be alright.A sudden scream from the rooftop brought them back to reality. "Alix
