The sound of the alarm clock disrupted my sleep
I allowed it to continue ringing without making a move to get off the bed …….
It stopped ringing and then continued again
Jeez! Can’t I sleep in peace!
Stretching, I sat up on the bed and glanced at the wall clock
It was 7:50
Time to get ready for school!
I dragged myself up from the bed and went into the bathroom to freshen up
Returning to the room, I found my phone ringing on the bed
I moved closer to the bed and picked up the phone
On checking the caller, it was Sasha
I received it
Good morning! her voice echoed from the other end
Morning! how was your night? I asked
”Twas Fine! You don’t need to come pick me, my dad will be driving me to school.
Alright ! See you in school. I said and ended the call….

I dressed hurriedly in an all black outfit, sling my backpack across my shoulders and then headed downstairs to the sitting room…..
And to my surprise, I met my mom in the sitting room dolling her self up
Good morning mum! I greeted
She raised her head up and flashed me a smile
Morning baby! how do I look? She asked, applying a red lipstick
Beautiful! I answered truthfully
Thanks baby, your breakfast is already served …:
I looked towards the dinning and then back at her
Don’t worry mum! I will get something at cafe ….
But why? She asked with a frown
That is because I don’t have appetite! I retorted
Really! Why! Are you sick! Is your stomach hurting you? She asked in a rush
No! I am fine, but are you going somewhere? I asked staring at her intently
Yes, I need to go to the grocery store. She answered
But we get it on delivery so why stressing yourself. I queried and she grinned
Let us say mum needs a breathe of fresh air. She winked at me
Alright then! See you later. I bade and headed to my car
Opening the car door, I got in and drove off heading to school …….

GHOST’S FRIEND: Episode 21 – 30
Driving through the expressway, I sighted Cory standing in front of the gas station
She was turning here and there with a bewildered look on her face ..
What is wrong with her? I wondered
Pulling up in front of her, I wind down the window of the car….
And on seeing me, she widened her eyes in surprise
Get in. I said calmly
She looked behind her shoulders and back at me
Are you really talking to me?
She asked and I scoffed
Who else will I be talking to, or is there a ghost behind you! I retorted and she swallowed hard
Get in! I repeated and she did
Starting the car, I drove off heading to school……
Thanks. She said softly and I shot her a glance
It is nothing, but what were you doing all alone in front of a gas station? I asked calmly and she sighed
Racheal was angry with me so she instructed her driver to drop me off. She answered and I scoffed
Is it a must to ride with her? I asked knitting my eyebrow but she kept mute
Is it a must? I repeated and she exhaled deeply
I have got no choice. She answered sadly
And who told you that! Racheal? I asked but she shook her head
You wouldn’t understand Declan !
Then make me to, why do you allow Racheal to control you? Why do you allow her to treat you like a slave?
That is because I am like a slave to her? She answered and I went stiff
Yes, my mother is a personal maid to Racheal’s family and what does that make me? a daughter to a maid! She half yelled.
I bit my lips without saying anything
So can you see the reason why I let her control me, I have no choice Declan
Is that why you are scared of her? I asked and she froze
What do you mean? She managed to ask
On the day Daphne died, you pleaded with her to go with you to the class party because you were scared of Racheal, right? I asked
How did you kknow about it? She stuttered and I smirked
It is none of your business, Just answer my question
I don’t know what you are talking about. She answered with a trembling voice
Really! Then let me rephrase the question, who murdered my sister? I asked and her breathing became heavier
I stepped on the brake and the car skidded to a halt …..
Stoping the engine, I turned to face her
Who murdered her? I repeated and a flicker of fear crossed her eyes
Is it you! the principal! or Racheal!…..:
She tried to say something but no sound came out …
Her hands were shaking and she was also sweating…….
I smirked lightly, it was obvious she knew who the killer was?
What can I do now? I thought within
I guess I have to instil more fear into her ………
So you should know, I am not the only one working on this case and we are on the brink of finding who the killer is ……
It is better to tell what you know and I assure no harm will come to you ……,,;
Having said that, I started the car and zoomed off ……
