Chapter 4 - The Unexpected Roommate (4) (1/2)

I remembered correctly that I turned off the air conditioner before I left this room yesterday. I froze on where I stood.

Something was off with this room.

Somehow, it was different with the vibe it gave yesterday. And then the thought appeared in my mind.

”Excuse me. Please, let me stay in this place. I won't disturb you, so please, don't disturb me. I just want to live peacefully.” I said slowly.[1]

Silent hit the room. I waited for any refusal, but nothing happened. I smiled and bowed in gratitude. ”Thank you.” I said softly.

I continued to arrange my stuffs, put it in the right place, and when I finished, I took a bath. After that, I laid on the bed –of course I had put a sheet on it –and stared the ceiling. Slowly my eyes got heavier and I started to close them. Slowly, I fell asleep.

And in my sleep, I dreamed.

......

In my dream...

”Hi...” A boy approached me. I turned my head to look at the source of the voice..

”Hi...” I wasn't sure how I should react to this person. He was handsome.

No, he was hot!

”I'm Tom. You are Jane, aren't you?” He handed his hand and I took it as I nodded.

”How do you know?” I asked him as I tilted my head slightly.

He smiled and I couldn't help but to melt. ”You're living in Rosemary Dorm on the second floor, right?”

His answer made me more confused and curious. ”Yes. How do you know?”

”Of course I know. I used to live there, too.” He answered calmly.

My eyebrows arched. ”What do you mean?”

”The room you are living in now is used to be my room.” He said again.

I thought for a while, and then my eyes widened in shock as I learned the meaning of his answer. I stared at him, eyes to toes and back again.

”No way. You're a ghost?” I asked, still in shock.

Tom nodded. ”Why? You're scared?”
