Ghost Detective! (COMPLETED)

Chapter 2

Kayla's

"Another nerd student? Di ba sila nauubos?"

"But I feel that she's different.."

"Sus! Walang different-different sa kanila! Pare-parehas lang silang genius-freak!"

'Atleast I'm a genius compared to you!' That's what's on my mind but I don't wanna voice out because I don't wanna make trouble while I'm here. And It's the first day. Baka ma-expel ako ng maaga mapauwi nang maaga sila mommy at papa. Like I said earlier, I love my parents that I don't want to trouble them. Tama nang ako nalang. As long as they don't touch me or don't meddle with my business, then I'll be fine.

Anyway it's just a whisper. At totoo naman na may pagka-nerd ako. Pero walang kinalaman dito ang glasses ko. Bakit kaya ang common misconception ng iba na pag nakakita ng naka-salamin, nerd na agad? What's the basis? What's the reason? I just don't understand people.

I went to the faculty office to get my schedule and to know what room am I in. Medyo kinakabahan ako but I can manage naman. You know, I'm not comfortable to deal with other people, pero I can be civil with them. Sa tanang school life ko, hindi pa ako nagkakaroon ng 'alive' friends, my only friends so far of my life are my 'ghost' friends che-che, sharry and Leira. Papasok na sana ako sa FO(Faculty Office) nang bigla akong mabunggo sa kung sino man.

"Sorry, sorry.." Narinig ko habang pinupulot ko yung mga notes ko na nalaglag sa bag ko. Pagkatayo ko ay hinarap ko ang may-ari ng boses na yun. Only to find a girl, a tiny girl and like me, she's also wearing a pair of eye glasses but compared sa akin, malaki yung lense ng sa kanya tapos panay ang yuko niya sa akin, she sounds like almost crying. "It's nothing, ako dapat ang nagso-sorry, ano.. Bata.." It came out as a whisper.

I heard her gasp and when I look at her, nakatulala siya sa akin tapos biglang nagpout siya. "I'm not bata no! Eighteen na kaya ako. Hmp, iwan na nga kita." Tapos iniwan na nga niya ako.. na nakanganga. She's really serious about it? Eighteen? As in 1-8? She doesn't look her age, that's for sure. Wait, I forgot may klase pa pala ako!! I need to hurry!

"Thank you ma'am..."

"I'm Elvira Solomon. You can call me ma'am elvie. Since sa klase pala kita, sumama ka na sa akin." Sabi ni ma'am elvie at naglakad na nga kami papunta sa magiging room ko. Room 202. Buti sa second floor lang, ayokong umakyat hanggang sixth floor. "We're here, Ms. Fuentes." Pagkasabi ni ma'am nun ay sabay binuksan niya na yung sliding door.

"Ay! Si ma'am elvie!"

"Yes, ako nga si ma'am elvie, and good morning my students!" The students that will be my classmates for this sem, greeted her too. I'm nervous while I'm standing sa gilid, from the looks of it mukhang hindi pa ako nano-notice ng mga magiging classmates ko--

"Ma'am transferee po?" I take back what I said.

Napatingin na tuloy sa akin lahat ng classmates ko, and I'm not comfortable with the way they stare. Paranoid lang siguro ako o talagang iba sila makatingin. I felt some qualms to this school. To my room. Dapat nag home-study nalang ako eh! Si Leira kasi! Yep, si Leira, na ghost friend ko, she's the one who suggested this school to me. Hindi ko nga alam kung bakit at kung paano niya nalaman ang school na 'to eh matagal na naman siyang patay at nagawa lang ang school na 'to 5 years ago. It's strange.

"Oh, wag niyong i-pressure ang transferee natin. Ms. fuentes, please introduce yourself." Sabi wag daw i-pressure eh anong pinagagawa niya sa akin? Nagpapawis tuloy ang kamay ko sa tension tapos sa pagtingin nila. They're anticipating to my introduction. Like it was a big deal, eh ayos lang naman kahit hindi nila ako pansinin. Ituring nila akong invisible okay lang sa akin. Sanay akong nag-iisa.
