Gail

Gail keep on talking telling her some things that Antonella cannot keep up with, since she is a stranger with this new ground around them.

"Why are you here Antonella?" the girl asked

Antonella replied with a soft tone "My parents chose this school and got me enrolled"

The girl seemed to be convinced to the answer she got but gave up a sad impression and spoke "Oh That's awful" while twirling it's hair

With a confused thought Antonella felt puzzled about this girl's behavior

"Why do you say so?" she protested

Gail fix her appearance and explained

"You see we're both came from an affluent family, in my case my parents are so perfectionist that I always felt that I am inside a box. Like my mom will always control me about my appearance to wear and act properly of her taste when going outside the world only to protect their own personal interest, careless about my feelings"

Antonella was upset hearing Gail's situation it is very rare that someone will talk to her about burdens in life she can now illustrate the vast picture of her new friend's status.

She was bullied countless of times for having such a strange ability and looks. She never had friends before, all of her classmates are ignoring her like she was kind of mess to the society.

"My Father is far more worse he hates me a lot because i-i let my twin died-

Silence come across to the place where they are both standing.

"What did you just say?" Antonella said with a mystified gaze

The girl just chuckled and said " To make the long story short she killed herself and they blamed me for it"

"WAIT WHAT? why do you speak like that?, like you don't even care" Antonella clench her fists

"My twin sister she- how should I explain this, she is mentally ill and my parents is covering the reality about it. She always assault me and one time she attempted to hurt me using one of the pins on her seamstress kit, for her it's just a joke. Thank god my cousin saw it and halted her bad intention towards me, we told my parents about her but they just yelled and slapped me, so pointless "

"But how did she ended her life?"

"It was a nightmare it happened so fast, It was a Saturday Night I've got an important call so I had to step out my twin sister is just fine by the time I bid goodbye, but when I came back I saw her on her bathtub lifeless bathed on her own blood, I called my parents and tell them she's gone-

Gail started crying

"Shh I won't ask anymore questions Gail I am sorry for your lost" Antonella comforted Gail

"I tried to explain them everything but they are deaf for 3 years I have endured the maltreatment, my mother seemed to forgive me, she even spoke to me but the pain still lingers so I let her do the things that are against on my will. I asked for my father's forgiveness lots of times but he disowned me. Luckily I still enjoy the favor for staying under their roof despite the bitterness of my existence, but I swear one day I will rise up to prove him that I am not a liability"

Gail wiped her tears and stared at Antonella

"This is our first meeting Antonella and I am so sorry if I open up too much personal to you, It's just that you seemed to be a nice and a trustworthy person. The moment I saw you walk in at the stadium I can feel your light aura that gave me a comfortable feeling "

Hearing those words Antonella can feel her emotions mixing up, building across her soul. She gave the girl a hug and replied

"For me you are a strong well being, you stood up with your own feet for the past years and you endure those traumatic experience you got. You are so brave Gail, I'm sure one day your parents will be enlightened up "

Gail let out a sweet grin showing her warmest gratitude for meeting a great listener, a new friend...

Being 'Thank For' was something extraordinary on Antonella's ears. This word is very uncommon for her many kids she met on the past were appalling because of the Girl's ability to sense and see the deceased. Some of the bullies will lock her up on a utility room or took her stuffs and toss it outside the window. Antonella has suffered so much on her childhood school days, no single kid will team up with her on making projects or became her friends. They were disgusted on the girl's behavior, they don't even care if she is from a well-known family. All they desired was to make Antonella suffer.

The two girls went back on their line and smiled at each other. Gail's heart was so happy for she had found someone to talk and be friends with. The instructor noticed how puffy Gail's eyes was.

"Dear are you alright?"

Gail just gave a laugh and pouted "Yes ma'am this school is great! Thank you for touring us"

The instructor just smiled and continued talking about the memoir of the Academy.

Sometime passed and it's already time to go home Antonella and Gail bid each other's goodbye.

"See you next week Antonella!" Gail shouted

"Have a safe ride at home Gail!"

Before boarding the car Antonella saw the boy she met earlier in the fountain standing on the path walk facing the gates and wave at her. Peculiar words came to it's mouth but she cannot understand it.

"Cuídate, princesa perdida, nos volveremos a ver la próxima vez"

After that the boy turn its back and left.

"Hiro is indeed strange" she said and went inside the car

"Who is that child sweetie?" her mother asked mysteriously

"A new friend that helped me earlier mother" she replied

"I am so proud of you An, you already made friends on your first day" her mother hugged her

"Me too Mother this new school life will be great"

The engine start and they left the Academy.

Lying on her bed Antonella can't stop herself rewinding everything about Gail. A question that bothers her so seriously, it is about Gail's twin sister. Her ghost keep on hunting Gail, a dark shadow of secrets?
