The Letter (Chapter 6)

Well since I noticed her might as well talk to her. So I put on my usual facade and smiled that's so convincing you probably wouldn't know that he's a great actor. 

"Hello I didn't noticed you were standing all along. Hasegawa right?"

She nodded to my question. 

"Is there something you want to ask me that you followed me all the way here?"

"No... That's my place you're sitting at", she said with a voice so weak that it almost blended with the sound of the wind. 

"Hmm I see. I'm sorry I didn't this was your place. I thought no-one would be here since the place looks quite empty". 

She looked around as I said that. And she nodded with an understanding look. 

I stood up because I finished my food and it t doesn't look like she'll say anything. So I might as well take my leave. 

As I returned and took a seat at my designated place. Someone that seems to be my classmate approached my table and stopped directly in front of me. 

"Hi, I'm Saito Hirata, you can call me Hirata" he said energetically while taking his hand out to 

"Umu, Seong Jae-Hyun, you can call me Jay", I said as I reached for his hand. 

"I suggest you not to get too close with Hasegawa. There's rumours that she's an occult freak and will turn you into one too". 

When I heard that I almost broke my poker face. Never have I heard something so ridiculous in my life. At this moment I realised why no one went up on the roof to have lunch and why only Hasegawa is having lunch up there. 

These guys isolated her because of some baseless rumours. Never have I felt more disappointed in humanity. 

"Thanks for the advice I will keep it at my heart", I said this to send him away. 

"Oh great. I don't want our new classmate to be someone like her", Hirata with the enthusiasm that slightly annoys me. 

Hearing that I took out a book and starts to read it. It was titled 'Detective Kindaichi Kosuke: The Honjin Murders' and was written by 'Yokomizo Seishi'. He was said to be one of the best writer for mystery thriller books. 

As I was reading it the bell rang again, I guess the class is starting. I looked to my side and saw Hasegawa sitting there completely disinterested in whatever is going on. I wonder do I looked like that when I'm bored. 

The teacher entered the class while I was wondering about unrelated things. And the rest of the continued on like usual or that's what I thought. 

As I was trying to grab shoes a piece of paper fell out of my shoe locker. It hasn't even been a day and I'm already getting this kind of stuff. This will definitely hinder me how can I make it stop. 

As I was thinking I looked at the piece of paper on the ground. Might as well go since I've already seen this. 

I opened and looked at what's written. Hmmmm. This is quite interesting.
