After 10 years we had another get together with fellow high school classmates. 

We were talking about old stuffs and school and we ended up talking about a woman. She was basically a bullied girl of our class and no one from the class really acknowledged about her. We were really surprised when she was there in previous get together. "I don't think she will come to this one," we were talking. 

When Tsuyoshi, a friend of mine, who organized the get together heard this, he called me over. He was a baseball player captain and my best friend. We went over to another corner of the hall and settled on sofa before he started. 

"Didn't you get post card about the get together? Well, there was some people we couldn't get hold of their whereabouts. And among them, that girl was there too. But somehow I got her phone number and I just directly called to inform about the get together. But her mother picked up instead and told that... she killed herself..."

"I guess she kept getting bullied at her work place too," I said but he shook his head. 

"She said that she killed herself just after the graduation,"

"W-Wait, then what about that another get together 10 years ago when she attended?" With trembling hand, I lit fire on my cigarette. Tsuyoshi did the same before saying, "and her name was there today too on the attending guest list."


. . .

To be honest, I think these classmates deserves to be haunted by her. They were either bullying or ignoring her, making her life hell!
