Chapter 11: She didnt come out (2/2)

”Slowly, glide to the window.” I hiss at him. The third floor's window to the corridor is the closest to us. If I go there, I can climb over.

”Just jump to the swimming pool.”

”Damn you, ghost! If something happens to me, I will make you drink holy water from the church.”

The ghost becomes completely white. ”Church? You have faith?”

”I will bring a priest, you damn thing.”

”Aisa?”

”Wang Mei?” I find Wang Mei standing near the window. My attention flicker for a second and the ugly ghost uses this opportunity to throw me off. His smelly arm slips away from my grip.

Damn!

I close my eyes.

She watches Fang Aisa suddenly fall to the swimming pool. She blankly stares at the swimming pool before realizing something is wrong.

”FANG AISA!!!”

The teachers and students come out of the classrooms when they hear the screaming following a loud splash. Did someone attempt suicide?

They find a distraught redheaded girl near the window. She doesn't notice the crowd behind her. She is crying madly while pointing at the swimming pool.

”She didn't come out.” She mumbles in shock. ”She knows how to swim...but she didn't come out.”

Suddenly, a figure rushes past everyone and jumps off the window before anyone could react. There is another loud splash. Everyone blankly looks at the window.

Did someone just jump?

They all look down.
