Chapter 5: "Because your body is committed to me" - Gian

On exactly 7 o'clock in the morning, Gian goes to school. He is just an ordinary guy in the campus with extraordinary mind.

I wear my favorite skirt and shirt then, follow him.

As we arrive in school, I realize that he is studying in the most high standard school in City. It's amazing!

I walk inside the main building where he entered. I look around. Wow! It is surely a big school!

I stroll around.

I go to the cafeteria. The foods look delicious and this place is so clean. No wonder it is famous.

"So, if the school has a clean cafeteria, it means it is famous?" a voice from behind. I turn around and see him, Gian.

How come he knows what I am saying in my mind? I look at him but he does not say anything at all.

I rolled my eyes.

"Did you follow me?" he asked as he smirk at me. He's so full of himself! Argh!

"Why should I? I'm just curious what it looks like in your school" I answered.

He smiles. "Unfortunately, I don't eat here. I cooked for lunch earlier. If only I know you would follow me, I should have pack a food for you too" he said. He let me see his packed food.

I chuckled.

"three steak, three egg rolls, three fried chicken and two cup of rice" he said to the crew. The crew lists down the order. "Please find a seat. Just wait there" he said to us as she gives us the Order Number.

"Why did you order so much?" I asked. He looks at me. "Gosh. You're such a pig when you eat. That's why I have to order that much. Got it?" he explained like a joke.

While waiting, I see a man wearing a tuxedo. He looks like a professional. His nameplate caught my attention. "Bean Peterson..." I read.

"What?" Gian asked.

"Uh.. nothing" I said.

He turns around and look where I looked earlier. "Bean Peterson..?" he reads then he looks at me. "He was a Professor in this school. He died two months ago because of mysterious murder in this school..." he started.

So, he's a ghost. Again? I sigh. I will expect that I will passed out again and ended up helping that Professor.

I continue eating. Hmm! Delicious!

Then, that Professor caught my attention when he stared at me. His face expression is like an empty vessel. He keeps on staring at me.

After five minutes, he gives me a smirk of an evil.

"Don't look at him" Gian caught me staring at the same time to the Professor. "A rumors spread so fast in the school. They said that if you see the Professor's ghost, he wouldn't let you live long enough. Specifically, in one day." he explained.

I have to find a way to make the Professor thinks that I'm not looking at him. Then, someone I know passed by in front of him. "Hey! Jennifer!" I called someone I know. Jennifer looks at me.

"I've been watching you talking to that boy. Is he someone you love?" I started the conversation.

I decided to get my mirror from pants' pocket. I am pretending to look at myself in the mirror but honestly, I am checking the Professor if his reaction changed. I succeeded. His reaction changed from fierce into confusion.

"Oh, that boy? He's my cousin" Jennifer answered. "How come you didn't know that?" she asked. "Well, I didn't know so I asked" I said sarcastically. "You didn't change at all even after ten years" she said.

I just smile at her. Be thankful that I need to call you so that the professor wouldn't think that I can see him.

"Anyway, I have to go to Theatre Clinton right now. We have rehearsal" she said as she prepares her things. "You should enroll yourself here when you are ready to go to College" she added then, left.

Both Gian and I finished our lunch. "You're too worked up right now. Why don't you rest at home?" he said. But the he said it, is like he wants me to go home now. I rolled my eyes. "Fine. Thanks for the meal" I said then, left.

I feel a strong sensation when I walk in the walking side of the road. Its like someone is following me. I look back to check if there is someone behind me but no one else is there.

As I walk, I see a playground in a park. No kids is there to play. I wonder why. I decided to sit on one of the sways.

Because of the trees around it, you can feel the freshness of air and you can only hear the noise of the cars passing by the park.

"Stop pretending" someone said from my back. I look at my left side. There he is! The professor earlier is here! "Sssshh.. Don't make some noise" he said while he locked my lips using his point finger.

"Listen" he started. "I am not the bad guy here" he continued. I calm down and look at him. "Help me.." he said. His voice is familiar.

It's him! The voice in the phone! "You're...You're the one who called me that night" I said.

"No.. I want Gian to help me but instead of him to answer the phone, you did" he corrected.

"But.. why do you want a help?" I asked. He looks at my eyes. It gives me an ache in my head.

"Ugh! It hurts!" I shouted. "Hey! is there something wrong?" he asked with worries.

"You... You can go back to the school right?" I asked while the pain of the ache continues. He nodded. "Please... call Gian" I said then, I passed out.

My soul came out again from inside my body. I sighed.

Then, I see Gian running towards me. He sees my body lying down because I passed out again.

"Are you hurt?" he asked with worries. I shake my head as my answer. He is relieved.

He carries my body and we go back at home. He placed my body at his room and locked it. "Why did you lock the door?" I asked. He looks at me with so much worries in his eyes.

"I locked you up so that no human person can steal you from me" he said.

What? Steal me from him? What is he saying? That idiot!

"But what if a ghost is trying to possess my body while you locked it up?" I asked. There is a big possibility for that.

"No.. They couldn't." he said. I am becoming more confused of his certainty.

"Why?" I asked.

"Because your body is committed to me" he said.

Gosh! Why am I blushing when he said that?! And why the heck he should say that?! Tsk. I couldn't stop myself from blushing too much!

"Let's go on to business" he said.

I still couldn't stop blushing...
