Encounter 4: Followed

Entry #02589

I have no idea the reason why this ghost spent the whole day tailing me. I am no longer afraid of ghosts but right now, the feeling is so different.

The ghost behind me is creeping me out!

He has been with me since I passed through the forest this morning.

I chose to ignore him but he is too persistent! Whatever I do, he keeps on commenting... just like now.

I saw a mango tree with a ripe fruit while walking on my way home. I climbed it unhesitatingly.

"Tomboy. No one will like you if you will keep on acting like that."

After grabbing my target mango, I jumped down and glared at him. Not that I was offended. It's just that I'm already pissed off.

"Oh, you looked at me, Eddie!" he said, how happy he could be?

"Aren't you tired? And can't you sense it? I don't want any involvement with ghosts, including friendship," I told him frankly.

His smile faded. "Fine then."

"It's good that you understand, Jesse."

I went home after he disappeared from my sight. I felt guilty when I saw the expression on his face.

'Why do I feel so heavy inside?'

- Eddie
