Revealing Who I am
Dylan POV
"You're a ghost?" I asked her again as I drag her to the back of the office building. I can't believe a ghost fooled me and pretended that she's a student here on our campus. "Why you didn't tell me before that you're a ghost?" I continuously asked eh. "I was supposed to tell you but somehow you didn't know that you have the Third eye," she said and it makes me furious. I looked like a fool, talking to a ghost. Someone already saw me talking to a ghost and they might think I'm crazy.
"Do you think I will tell you something about my ability to see ghosts when at first I thought you're alive?" she stopped and stayed quiet about what I said. "Don't ever show up again. I don't want to see you." I walked and left her. I'm really furious because of what she did. She pretended she lied about going to school. Urgh! I really don't want to see her again.
After work, I decided to visit Nicole. After a long day, I couldn't say anything while I was in front of Nicole's grave. I usually tell her stories about what happened for today, but all I can think of that ghost who pretended that she's not a ghost. "Urgh! I can't stop thinking about that ghost. Nicole, please show up. You're the one I wanted to see, not some random ghost who acts like a student. I hope I could see you soon." I felt the sadness around me. Instead of thinking about that ghost, I swiftly thinking about Nicole's memories with me.
Nicole and I were really close, well actually I liked her before when we were still in middle school. She was my best friend and she always made me happy. I'm the smart, serious guy at our school before. I don't talk to anyone but when Nicole introduced herself to me, she's always there trying to make me smile. And she's successful in doing that. But when we were in our last year in middle school, she suddenly changed. She doesn't smile or talk to me often that time and one night, I've heard that she's dead. It was my biggest nightmare, that I'm unable to tell her that I love her and unable to protect her.
"I just wish you told me what is happening to you sooner Nicole, I wish I could tell you that time." I suddenly stopped when someone caught my attention. A woman standing and staring at me, not so far away. She looks so familiar, I think I saw her around here before or maybe she's just a ghost wandering around her grave. But no, it looks like she's staring at me. I walked towards her but I lost her and I don't know where she went. "Is that... Faye?"
Anika POV
"Urgh! What should I do? He's mad at me but he's my only hope in finding who I am." I told myself as I wander around the town. I hope I could explain to him my side, well I can't just show up in front of him, he'll get mad again and ignore me forever. Urgh! I don't know! Suddenly, a cemetery caught my eye. I've never been here before, I should look around. Maybe I could see something in here that could help me, or maybe my grave!
As I look around, I saw Dylan standing in front of a grave. The world is so small, we always bumped on to each other like destiny. Nah! It's not destiny, it's just an accident that I always saw him anywhere I go. I waited and watch him from afar, I just hope I can talk to him again.
After a few minutes of watching at him, someone caught my eye and I think Dylan saw it too. The same girl that is staring at me a few days ago, she's also here. Is she alive or a ghost, she always shows up unexpectedly and suddenly disappears. Who is she? I saw Dylan was about to approach the girl but she suddenly disappeared. Then Dylan looked in my direction. I think he saw me because his face became angry the moment he saw me from afar. I walked toward him, I would like to talk to him just a little. I just want to explain myself.
"I told you to not show your face to me. You lied to me about you being a ghost, not a normal student," he said with a furious face. I was about to hold his arms but I can't. I can't touch him because I'm a ghost. Ghost can't touch persons unless they allow us to do so. "Please, let me just explain!" I tried begging for him to talk to me just a little bit. He's my only hope in knowing who am I.
"Explain? What lies are you going to tell me now? If you're asking for my help with your problem, well let me tell you. I won't help you! You're already dead, what are the things you still need to do? Just go to the afterlife and forget about this life!" I got shocked by what he said. I can't believe he said those words, it breaks my soul here those. "Yes! I still have something that I can't let go of easily. Even if I'm already dead, there are things that I can't let go of! And you know what those are? The past memories that I can't even remember!" he suddenly stopped and his paintings in his angry suddenly fade away. I stepped back a little, my eyes got teary as I say this to him, "Don't worry, I won't bother you anymore. I'm sorry." then I fade away in front of him.
I went back to the part and cried my heart out because I've lost my hope in finding myself. I have no clue or lead, I don't even know what to do anymore. If I gave up on looking, I will be wondering forever in this world. I will never move on and go to the afterlife. I'm stuck in here forever.
***
A few days later, I'm with Kath just sitting and doing nothing. "Aren't you supposed to wander around? It's been days, you're just staying here with me doing nothing." Kath told me as I lay my head over the table. "I'm not hoping to find something anymore. My only hope is gone a few days ago." I said to Kath. "What happened that Mr. good guy, Huh?" I got frustrated whenever I hear his name, I can't believe that the only person who can see me is a cold-hearted person and doesn't what's to help anyone. "Uhm, speaking of Mr. good guy..." I looked at Kath with a confused face. What is she talking about? I looked in the direction of where Kath is looking then I saw Dylan, entering the restaurant staring at me.
What is he doing here? I thought he doesn't want to talk to me.
What should I do? Should I walk away or should I pretend that he doesn't see me here in the restaurant?
