GHOST’S FRIEND: Episode 21 – 30
Sasha Alfredo

My suspicion about Racheal had been right all along, her penetrable eyes and scrutable countenance gave her away …
Cory! Racheal! What exactly are they hiding? but come to think of it Daphne said Cory pleaded with her to come to the party because She was scared of Racheal……
But why would Cory be scared of her classmate! Is there some kind of secret between them! Is that why Cory is always with Racheal her backpack! Is she some kind of slave!………….
Declan is here! Daphne announced distracting me from my thoughts and I looked toward the door just in time to see Declan walk into the class……..
I walked up to him
Dec! Where have you been? I asked with concern look
No where, and why are you standing here? he asked
I looked around the class and then back at him
Let’s go over to your seat, I need to tell you something. I said in whispers….
And without saying anything, he led the way to his seat and I followed behind him…..
Sitting on his desk , he faced me
So what is it you want to tell me? he started
It is about Racheal. I informed in whispers
he slowly shifted his gaze to Racheal and then back at me
What about her? He asked fixing his gaze on me……
I think she knows something about Daphne. I replied
he was quiet for a moment and then he exhaled deeply
Why did you say so?
The necklace! I said touching the necklace, on seeing it, her countenance changed. It was like she was scared of something. I explained and he sighed
I am not surprised… I mean since her father is also involved, she might as well be involved. he said and I nodded in agreement
So what do you suggest we do next? I asked
Simple! I will call Sinclair and ask for his help. he retorted
And do you think he will help us? I asked and he shrugged
we just have to try!
I was about asking another question when the Chemistry teacher walked into the class……..
Ooops! I guess I will ask him after the class
And in a rush, I walked briskly to my seat and sat down…….
I brought out my Chemistry note from my back pack and opened it ready to prepare for the next lecture…..
Are we ever going to find out what happened to me? Daphne asked with a sign
Of course we will. I mumbled…..

The hours dragged on till it was closing time
At last! I sighed in relief
All the classes I had today were all boring to me.
I kept my books inside my backpack and then turned sideways to see Sasha shoving her books carelessly into her bag….
I smiled lightly, What a girlfriend!
Slinging my backpack across my shoulders, I stood up and walked up to her
Hey babe! do you want your book to have a tear? I asked teasingly
She raised her head to look at me and then chuckled
Daphne just asked me the same question
Oh! Does she follow you to school always? I asked in whispers and she nodded
I bit my lips, how I wish I could see my sister even if it just once….
She stood up when she was done and then faced me
Let us go. She said and we both walked out of the class
*
So when are you going to call Sinclair? She asked as we walked to the parking lot
When we are inside the car. I answered and she nodded slowly
And all of a sudden, she nudge me to look at the opposite direction and when I did, I saw Racheal and Cory standing in front of the administration building…….
As usual, Cory was carrying both hers and Racheal back pack
But why does Cory always carry Racheal back pack? Sasha asked and I shrug
I don’t know!

Opening the car door, I got in and Sasha also did the same from the other end ….
It is time to call Sinclair. She reminded and without wasting time, I brought out my phone from my jean pocket to dial Sinclair number
It rang but he did not pick
I tried it again and he picked up on the second ring ….
Please Place it on speaker. Sasha pleaded and I did
hello Sinclair! I greeted first
hello! Who is this? he asked with a calm voice
Declan Davies! I informed
Oh Declan! Why did it take you so long to call, I have been expecting your call ever since. he queried
I am sorry sir, I was so busy with classes. I apologise
It is alright! So have you gotten any hint on your sister case? he asked
Erm not really, but can I come over to the station so I can explain better? I asked
he was quiet for a moment and then sighed
I don’t think it is a good idea
But why? I probed on
It is not something we can talk about on call, Are you closed from school? he asked
Yes. I replied
Good! Then come meet me at Petra hotel. he said and without waiting for my response, he ended the call…
Petra hotel! Where is that? Sasha asked
It is not too far from here, will you go with me? I asked hoping she would say yes and she did …..
Good!
I started the car and drove off heading to Petra hotel …….

Cory Abel

Standing in front of the administrative block, I listened to Racheal as she explained her fears ……
I smiled inwardly seeing her in a worried state but as you know, I had to act like I was also worried…..
It is so real Cory! I saw the necklace around her neck! how is that possible! Daphne was wearing the necklace on that night so how did the necklace get to Sasha? she asked, shaking like a leaf
I stared at her without knowing what to say, I was confused about that as well …….em I also asked myself the same question on the very day Sasha showed me the necklace….
Or is there something you know that I don’t? Racheal asked fixing her gaze on me ….
Yes erm I mean No. I stuttered and she scoffed
What exactly are you saying? Are you trying to play smart! She paused and thought for some moment before she continued
or do you think you will go scot free if the truth comes out! She retorted angrily and I shivered in fear …..
Please I don’t want to go to prison! I pleaded with a trembling voice and she smirked
Prison! It might be worst than that. She threatened and I swallowed hard
So is there something you know that I don’t? She repeated and I nodded sheepishly
Then spit it out. She said in huff
Erm Actually Sasha and her family lives in the old abandoned building where we do hold our class party. I informed and she went stiff
And not only that, Sasha’s room happens to be the same room where you erm I mean Daphne was killed. I quickly added, I was expecting her to flare up but instead she remained calm …
And how did you know about this? She asked picking her words
That is because Sasha is my friend, remember? I asked nervously but she didn’t say a word but kept her gaze behind me, as if staring at someone ..,
I quickly turned to look and saw Sasha and Declan walking towards the parking lot …..
Oh right! Only Declan can make the “shameless wtch ” in front of me act ¢razy!
Are they dating? She asked clenching her fist, I could tell she was angry
I don’t know. I answered with a shrug and she scoffed
I can see that Sasha of a girl is so stubborn . She mumbled and then walked past me to the principal, no her father’s office ……..
I exhaled deeply knowing fully well that I was trapped …..
