Back to Normal

June is in her bed sleeping and thinking about the incident that happened on the mountain. She has more questions for Brian but June is just being quiet about it. After that incident somehow she started to feel some distance between Brian. The days are starting to pass even though they meet in the classroom Brian talks to her normally but June is just struggling with the emotions that even she isn't able to identify.

What is going on with me? He just talking to me like always but I can't able to talk to him freely. What just stopping me? I was just filled with doubts and confusion because that incident changed my entire view of Brian. While thinking about it everything was like a dream to me but after everything was over Brian got near and said to me, "Don't even try to remember what you saw here". The way he said to me is not normal, it was like I was being near a monster who just waiting to kill me. Still, I can't able to forget the feeling I got at that time. From that moment even I can't able to face his eyes directly. Who is he? Brian, who are you?

After getting back home, I just stood on the terrace and thought about Brian. He is my best friend but even now a day when I think about the way he talks and the way he acts in front of others it just makes me suspicious about him. I have to find the truth, I need to know who he is. And while I was thinking about him, just like nothing, he was just running on the street towards the fourth street. When I guessed it I got changed and planned to follow him.

After I reached the fourth street just like thought he gets inside the hideous building that no one dares to enter. I don't know what he was trying to do but I need to find out soon. Most people never get here because the rumor of this building is just being for so many generations. They say that this building was built when the Eastern Country tried to invade it. At that time this country's general lived here with his family.

The soldiers of the Eastern country successfully invaded the country and started to destroy the city and kill the people living there. It was the same place where now Brian and June lived right now. And the house is haunted by the ghost of the general and his family members. The rumors were an urban legend of this village and still being on people's minds without being forgotten.

I slowly approached the building looking at the surroundings, just like I saw before this street just being without no people even the street dogs were not roaming around this street. Like in this place, what is he doing? With curiosity, I just started to walk closer to the building to find him. Even the outside just emits some weird feeling into my body. Why that idiot gets here? Is he knew about this place or what?

After without any problem I just entered the building and looked around the place for Brian but I wasn't able to find him anywhere. After I started to get on the steps to get to the rooms on the next floor. And while getting closer to the room I started to hear some strange sounds.

"Huh… Brian are you there? Hello?"

With fear, I just get there to find Brian, and before opening the door I just say to myself, "I am Brave… I am a Brave girl" And then I opened the door so fast and shouted Brian in a loud voice. As soon as I shouted, a big white-clothed doll just looked at me straight. As soon as I saw it without thinking anything, I just punched its face so hard.

Surprisingly I heard a voice from it, and I found that it was Brian being inside the ghost costume. After seeing him down, I helped him to stand and asked, "What are you doing here, Brian?"

But he just still feels the pain of my punch and can't able to talk. "Wait… I can't… even move… my jaw fasts to speak". With the pain, he just answers my questions slowly and I hold his face and check whether everything is ok or he got some major injuries. And at that moment I realized that the fear I had in my mind just vanished when I saw him suffering in pain. And I understood one thing at that moment, every person has some secrets from the people they know well, it doesn't mean they don't trust it, just that they don't want to trouble them with their truth.

Even Brian also has the secret that if he doesn't want me to say it to me then I have to respect it and be quiet about it. And also just as he said to me, I forgot about the incident on the mountain and started to talk with my best friend like always.

"You idiot, what the hell are you doing in this building? Do you know about this building or not?"

When I asked about it, he just looked down for a while and then smiled at him like always. It just made me even angrier than before, "I was asking the question and you were just smiling at me like I am some kind of small baby. You idiot". I just started to knock on his head as hard as I wanted. With that pain, he just fell and wasn't able to move from there.

"June… The reason I came here was to prepare a ghost house here to make her afraid".

When he said the word 'she' i was confused and asked him to explain the situation briefly and he also started to say about it which shocked me to hear it.

"I just called Alexandria for a date and she just accepted it and at the end of the date, I am going to get her to this building. Then just how I planned she will also fear these fake ghosts and be close to me."

When he talked about his plan, my mind just keep on thinking about one thing which is how the hell that royal girl accepted to go out with this commoner. What is her play here… I know most royals won't even look at us as human, in their eyes we were just as inserts but this Alexandria is different even the way she speaks to us in university is so warm. But when it comes to date or love my doubts were getting so high. If that girl tries to make fun of Brian then I have to help him and teach her the perfect lesson.

"Hey…. Creep, when is the date?"

"Day after tomorrow… and also why are you calling me a creep? You are the only creep here, Damn Mosquito".

And then I started to walk back to my home thinking about what would happen to Brian.
