Chapter 72 - I Think I Just Saw Myself (1/2)

”What do you mean 'special'?”

Again, she smirked. I had this sudden urge to punch her in the face every time she showed me her annoying smirk.

”I won't tell you.” She said as she turned away from me; I could tell she did that purposely.

Before I could retort back, she had floated away and waved goodbye to me.

”I'll tell you later when the time has come!” She said.

I stared at her disappearing back, feeling dumbfounded. I had a feeling that something complicated was heading towards me. She still had not told me about Tom's disappearance, yet she left me hanging with another troublesome matter.

Taking a deep breath, I decided to head back. This time, I knew for sure that no class would be held for today.

After what had happened today, I knew it would a long and tiring day for anyone.

By the time I entered my room, I was greeted by the sight of Tom. He was sitting down on my bed, waiting for me like usual. He turned his head towards me in a creepy manner and it was like a horror sound effect was playing in my head.

However, I noticed his expression was slightly off. I mean, he looked much gloomier and paler than before. It was as if he was becoming more and more like a ghost.

A ghost wouldn't be sick, right?

Still, seeing him in this state made the complaint I had in mind flew away. He didn't even welcome me!!

”Tom?” I called him slowly as I carefully approached him on my bed.

I watched as he blinked his eyes painfully slow, like a super sleepy person who already ran out of energy but still couldn't fall asleep. His eyes looked empty, lifeless, and it worried me.

”Are you okay?” I asked again, but still no response from him. ”Tom?”

”...Jane?” His voice came out like a whisper.

Okay, he was not like his usual self.

”What's wrong with you?” I reached out to him but the chilly feeling numbed my fingertips, reminding me that he was not a human.

”I think...” He trailed off.
