The Ghost sought out the Beast.

"Does anyone know the answer?" asked Mr. Mondenierre about the topic in Physical education. I can't pay attention to what he discussed. I don't know why I can't get off Zire in my mind. I saw in his eyes, the sorrow and pain he suffering for a long time for the first time when I looked straight at his, but I'm not so sure. A person like me never felt sorrow and pain, how would I even know that? but I saw it in his eyes, it tells me.

What is this feeling? I don't understand...

"Ms. Willowfield?" I turned my attention to Mr. Mondenierre who mentioned my name. Now I just realized that the whole class are looking at me right now. And even Shakira looked at me worriedly.

"Yes?"

"Are you listening?" asked Mr. Mondenierre, while holding a book. Then Shakira mouthed asking me what's wrong.

"Sir, I'm really not feeling well.." I lied, I'm a great liar cuz they won't notice that it was a lie. I don't know why I did this, all I know is I want to say something to him. I want to see him.

"Okay then. Shakira helped her to go to Infirmary Room.."

"I can manage sir, thank you.." I said and walk outside the room and closed the door. Then wandered around the school searching for Zire inside this SHS building. I also went out and searched inside the gymnasium, but he isn't there besides that four people playing basketball, they are just a student may be a varsity player of this school but still, I hid not wanting them to notice me. Next is the old gymnasium I know it's impossible to see him here because there's no one coming here except janitors and it's far from our building, and yes, he's not here. Then in Stadium too and other buildings that possible Zire might be staying.

I can't find a reason why I'm searching for him. What do I want to say to him? And why? It's... uncommonly...

I looked at the library and head inside. The librarian is busy so I get a chance to look around. Nobody here and he's not here too, well, of course, I'm sure he doesn't come here even though he has time, and I guess he doesn't like books, I know that this library is so huge, practically huge there's a second floor too and ladders to get some books in the high places, computers too, but like the other building he's not here. As I was turned to go, I bumped into someone.

"Sorry.."

"It's okay.." said the man. I looked up to see his face and it's him again, the man I thought who helped me all the time. And as I remember Zire called him X. Does this man knows where Zire is? Well, it might be...

When he turned to go, I grabbed his hand to stop him for a while. He looked at me with his normal look, and I looked at him as a usual face.

"Do you need something?" he asked coldly.

"Uhm, I'm Sapphire Willowfield, we already met but we don't have any chances to introduce ourselves.." I said and let go of his arm. He stood up there and properly looked at me, he lifted up his face and his eyes moved down to see me, he is quite tall.

"And?" he said while he lifted up his left eyebrow.

"I just want to know your name..?" I said or asked?.

"Why?"

"Because..." I tried to think of something but nothing's running on my mind. Why do I need to know his name?

Because I don't know what to say to him...

"I don't give my name to strangers" he whispered, when he trying to leave again, I said a word.

"I want to know where is Zire" in my normal tone, that made him stopped and looked back at me.

"Shhhh!" said the Librarian while rummaging the papers cause I can hear the noises from it. We're not far from the librarian desk that's why she hears us, but luckily she's busy.

"Why are you asking me that?"

"Cause I heard Zire called you lately. And I guess you too are friends, so I was just thinking if you know where is he, right now" I explained, looking at him directly in his eyes. He didn't answer me for a second. Then we heard the librarian coming towards us. He grabbed my hand and run outside while holding his book.

"I can't believe you just look like her," he whispered to himself... once we got out of the library.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"Does this Zire is really important to you?" he curiously asked, changing the subject or avoiding my question...

"I just want to say something to him.."

"That's a first" he instantly replied.

"You don't need to. That man doesn't appreciate anything, so whatever you're going to say, or maybe confess just ignore it..." he said and starts moving away from me, I don't know where is he going I just followed him.

"I don't care if it's gonna be useless. For me, it's really important... to say it to him, and it is not a confession, it's something more important than that.." I explained looking straight.

"Is that so?"

"Yes, it's really kinda... uncommon for me..." I replied. I'm still not sure why I'm doing this, and what's happening to me? Like you can't stop thinking about him until you say something to him? It urges and controls my head.

"He changed a lot after that incident," he said without giving me a glance, and my attention was put into his words while reading his book.

"It's hard to find a person who's hiding than finding a person who is just loitering. You'll find him soon..." he added then he went upstairs. I stopped, then it gives me a puzzle. I just wasted my time finding him, I looked at my phone, 15 minutes after the last subject end, and there's no reason to go back.

I really don't know what to do or where to go. I went inside the cafeteria and ordered some cake and coffee. I hear some students chatting about their lives, love life, and problems while I just looking outside this glass wall. I decided to wait until the end of the class. They are right, if you are paying attention at the time it will slow down, 11 minutes before the class ends. I tried to sleep after I ate my food but I can't, it's not crowded or noisy but something is on my mind that won't let me rest.

Once again I stood up and went outside the cafeteria, I don't know where did I get this hope but all I know is my mind saying he's near. There's only one place I still didn't visit. The gardens.

I head to the large garden The Garden of Roses. It's pretty nice here, lots of flowers but most of them are roses and a big fountain in the center surrounded by hundreds of Roses. There's no one here except the securities. I hid before they notice me.

I think he's not here, maybe in the other one?

As I was heading out from this garden, one of the securities notices me.

"Hey, you! What are you doing here? The class is not yet over!" yelled one of the security guards before they can reach me, I ran fast. I looked behind me and saw them following me, I tried to lose them and I did. Once they were out of sight I quickly hid inside the female room, and I saw them already pass.

In front of the guidance council room, where I found the man who helped me in Irashelyn, the small garden, once again I went inside. I still have questions in my mind on why this campus has two gardens? When I went inside, the warmth from this garden covers my whole body and soul. The coldness I feel for how many years are suddenly gone whenever I'm here.

I remember mom, singing her favorite song whenever she sees flowers.

"I see trees of green. Red Roses too. I see them bloom, for me and you. And I think to myself. What a wonderful world.." I can't stop singing this song that my mom always sang when I was a child. She said this is their favorite song they sang with her best friend, when I hear a tapped of the shoe and I have this feeling that someone is staring at me, I looked behind me and...

"Sapphire?"

And saw Zire...
