Dream turn reality

★★★

As her whole body rested on the seat, her heart became heavy.

"Paoli is dead as she saw in her dream," Isabella thought of the terrible scene she had seen in her dream. Paoli had also jumped out of the window. She ran but could not save her. She was fine because it was her dream, but how has it really happened? Why did Paoli commit suicide?

"Bella, we know what you are thinking. We are also shocked, but you know she was a proud girl. I guess losing tongue she can't accept, so she took this step recklessly." Bethany pointed to the possibility, but it didn't solve Bella's inner turmoil.

"Yes, Bella, you don't have to think a lot about this now. I think we should go to the college first and then after that, we will visit the cemetery," Danny said to Bella, looking at her who was already lost in her thoughts. They knew how emotional Isabella was, that's why they didn't bother her more and drove the car to the college.

"Dreams can't be real." Different thoughts are quarreling inside Isabella. For that reason, she didn't realize her phone was ringing until Bethany screamed her name.

"Bella, your phone is ringing."

"Yea.." Bella's answer was very mild as she had just returned to the earth.

"Who is it?" Danny asked, looking at Bella in the rearview mirror.

"Noah," Isabella said and picked up the call.

"Where are you? I am outside the college," Noah said. "We are in the parking," Bella answered. Suddenly Danny braked the car and Bella couldn't control her body as she lunged into the small space between the two seats, but Bethany stopped her from colliding with something.

"What happened?" Bella heard Noah's voice as he was still on the phone.

"Nothing, we will be there in a minute," Bella answered, and hung up the call when Danny loudly cursed, "Fuck, whose Tesla is this?" Danny brought her head out through the window and loudly shouted at the car driver whom she could not see as her car was behind the Tesla.

"Hey asshole, didn't you see I was about to park my car and for your sudden decision, I almost crashed my car with yours?"

Danny didn't take back her car, though the Tesla had already secured the space.

Bella and Bethany got out of the car when the driver's side opened and a man in a suit came out.

And then the look of the man glued Danny and Bethany's lips as if they had been mute forever. Bella's gaze met his. The man only looked at her and then left without responding to their statement. Ironically, he neglected the others.

When all three of them saw, the passenger's seat also opened, although the man had already disappeared from the spot.

A woman wearing a pencil skirt, the color that had matched her crop top, came out, managing her chest area as if the breast was down, so she lifted them to look good. The onlooker could tell that the woman had done something in the car, that's why she was managing herself before entering college.

She walked past them giving side-eye, her haughty face sniggered at them as she knew why they had stopped talking. Obviously, got struck by Alexander and the man was with her.

"What a bitch! Look at her walk. Obviously, banged in the car with the owner," Bethany said when Bella felt uncomfortable inside her heart. Also, her anger rose, thinking that she had spent time with him.

After Danny had parked the car elsewhere, they came to the primary gate of the college, where they found Noah was standing with his friend.

"Hey everyone," Bethany greeted, Bella and Danny smiled at them when Noah move forward and hugged Bella, who didn't think he would do something like this. It turned awkward when he didn't hug Bethany and Danny.

"Did you hear the news?" Tony and Jed said they are all known each other very well.

"Yes. We didn't think she'd do that. We met her yesterday," Danny replied.

"Yes, but what she did before the jump seriously gave me chills," Tony mentioned as Jed agreed. "Yeah man, creepy."

"Are we missing something?" Bethany asked them when Noah continued, "She wrote something all over the wall of her ward."

"What thing?" Bella asked when Tony brought her phone near them and played a video.

"What the fuck?" Bethany and Danny were both stunned. All over the wall, there was a one-sentence was written, "I see the devil." Also, it was written with blood, and without any doubt, it was her blood.

"Why did she do that?" Bella whispered, turning her face away from the video because she didn't have the strength to see this.

"If you ask me, then I'd say she couldn't accept not having a tongue. Also, I think she was mentally broken," Noah said, looking at Bella.

"My thoughts are the same, bro. Let's go inside," Jed said, grabbing Noah's shoulder and dragging him inside with his reluctance. Noah wanted to go inside with Bella but he can't show this to his friends or they will create rumors that he didn't have any problems, Isabella would not tolerate it.

"Bella, come on," Danny said, rubbing Bella's back, and followed them.

As they entered, they saw that everyone paying respect in front of Paoli's picture with candles and flowers. Bella walked up to the picture with Danny and Bethany. They lit three candles in front of her and paid respect. When they heard Paoli's group from behind. Clearly, they came to disparage them.

"You three don't deserve to stand in front of her," one girl from the group said.

"Okay, there are different places where we can verbally involve ourselves. Not here," Danny said to them politely. She truly didn't want upheaval here.

"Why are you afraid that we would tell everyone about your meeting with Paoli," another girl from that same group said, and she was also there in the hospital when Bethany, Danny, and Bella went to meet Paoli.

"What are you talking about? Why will we be afraid? We went to meet her. That's it," Bethany retorted. Her fist balled up in anger. She couldn't believe how some people could be so mean. They didn't care to see the situation or the environment, and all they were trying to vent their jealousy.

"No matter how innocent you pretended to be, we knew the three of you must have said something to Paoli, so she got so agitated that she took her own life. Also, you know well that she cannot say anything to anyone. Everything was pre-planned."

Her accusation drew everyone's attention to Bella and her group. They started whispering to each other and their eyes couldn't stop judging them.

"How can you be all so vicious? You are her friend, and so are we. Yesterday in the hospital we didn't say a single word to her. Her mother was there too. If you all are thinking of talking shit, then don't dare. We can't be polite either," Danny threatened them with a deep and dominant voice that terrified them.

They also wanted to say more but then stopped themselves, although they didn't forget to threaten back,

"We will see how long you three can save yourself. The cop already interrogating everyone. Soon they will reach out to you."

"What the fuck! She committed suicide, brainless Bimbo," Danny raised her middle finger and told them, while Paoli's group turned back and went the other way.

Throughout their verbal fighting, Bella didn't say a word. She knew her words would mess up the whole situation more, as she was well versed because most of the girls in the college hated her. She didn't understand these people. Instead of mourning, they reached out to them only to accuse them pointlessly.

She released a sigh and said, "Let's go to see Rachel.
