Jerico's Flashback

Arriving at the school medical room, Jerico immediately lay down on the bed that had been provided. Doni said goodbye to Jerico and asked if Jerico would be okay if he had to be alone at the school medical room.

Jerico replied that he didn't have a problem with Doni returning to class because he really had to attend class. Apart from that, Jerico was not alone here, because there was a nurse guarding the school medical room.

After Doni returned to class, the nurse at the school medical room immediately checked Jerico's condition.

"Everything is normal, it looks like you're just tired." Said the nurse. After that, the nurse told Jerico to just sleep and would wake him up when the bell rang for going home from school later.

Actually, Jerico couldn't close his eyes because he didn't feel sleepy. He just lay down and stared at the ceiling of the infirmary room. His mind went back to what Aluna said in class earlier.

"Ghosts… real?" Jerico muttered. Was it true that ghosts did exist and live side by side with humans?

Jerico tried not to take Aluna's words seriously, because he thought that ghosts were just a way for parents to scare their children when they slept late. But after experiencing the unreasonable incident earlier, Jerico's stance was a little shaken.

Jerico could only sigh because he was quite confused about everything. Now Jerico was silent again for a long time, and his mind returned to remembering Aluna's words regarding the implied rules that existed at this school.

—FLASHBACK ON—

"What are examples of disturbing things?"

Aluna was silent for a while and considered whether she should tell Jerico or not. But it seemed that Jerico really needed to know about the restrictions in this school so that he didn't cause trouble and harm other people. Finally, Aluna told Jerico.

"Oh. For example, don't go to the rooftop every Monday." Alana said.

"Weird." After saying that, Jerico got piercing stares from all his friends. Jerico sighed inwardly, it seemed he misspoke.

"Ok, why is it banned? What's going on on the rooftop?" Jerico chose to change his question rather than have his friends antagonize him.

However, no one answered Jerico's question and chose to be silent. But if you paid attention, it seemed they were just confused about how to explain it to Jerico.

"A few months ago, there was a girl who was murdered on that rooftop." She spoke in a voice that was very low but still audible. Everyone just looked down in silence.

"Until now, no one knows why she was murdered. Even the murderer is still unknown." Aluna paused to see Jerico's expression, then she continued her conversation.

"Well, after that incident, all kinds of strange things happened. Almost all of us have seen the dead student. When I went back to the rooftop a month after the murder happened, that girl appeared in front of me and seemed to be asking for help." Aluna was silent again.

"Her appearance was very messy, just like the state she was in after being murdered. Her stomach had many stab wounds, her hands and feet had many cuts as well. And the scariest thing, her eyes were bleeding. I wanted to run away but I couldn't, because my whole body felt really stiff. Luckily, at that time, suddenly Wika came, and the spirit of the student immediately disappeared."

Everyone who listened to Aluna's story pressed their bodies together, because they were starting to get scared. Meanwhile, Jerico just remained silent and listened. He praised the way Aluna told her experience, whether it was reality or just a hoax.

Aluna then continued with important things that had to be conveyed to Jerico immediately.

Two months after the murder occurred, one of their classmates named Intan went to the rooftop on Monday just to see the beautiful view of the city from the top of the building. Indeed, almost all the students in this school have been to the rooftop with the excuse of seeing the view.

Aluna said that at first there was nothing strange going on, and things were running normally as usual. But suddenly, Intan, who had just gone to the rooftop, returned to class with a pale and scared face. The girl said nothing. Her friends didn't really pay much attention to the girl either, because they already knew that Intan must have just been disturbed by the spirit of the girl who was killed two months ago. They thought the girl was still in shock and her fear would disappear in a few moments.

However, when the clock struck 11 pm, Intan's parents contacted every student in class 2 BAHASA 4. Intan's parents asked about the whereabouts of their child. Of course Intan's friends didn't know where the girl was because the last time they met was at school. And after school, they hadn't met Intan at all.

At that time, they all panicked, and contacted several people who might have known Intan. But they still didn't get any result.

The next day, Intan also did not attend school. She still disappeared somewhere, even several months later, she still could not be found. Intan's parents were desperate to find their daughter. They could only pray and ask God if Intan was still alive, so they hoped that Intan was not starving and in good condition. However, if Intan had died, Intan's parents hoped that their child's body would soon return to them in good condition and still intact.

All of Lavender High's students were filled with fear. They were afraid that they would be haunted by the ghost of the girl who was killed, and they were also afraid that they would have the same fate as Intan. They even thought of several possible things that could make the ghost angry, and they did their best not to do anything wrong for their own safety.

After disappearing, Intan, time went back to normal, nothing happened. And they could return to their normal activities. But apparently, the calm only lasted for two months. Because the same thing was happening again. Another student was declared missing.

The disappearance of the student was also caused by the same thing as when Intan disappeared. The girl, known as Siska, also went to the rooftop on Monday. And what surprised everyone was when one of Siska's friends said that Siska met the spirit of Intan on the rooftop.

Previously, Siska was in the field because at that time they were having sports class. But when she looked up, Siska saw someone who looked like Intan. So without thinking much, Siska approached the person because she was happy that Intan was back.
