“Are you haunting me?”

The stranger’s remarks made everyone in the room feel awkward, I mean, who wouldn’t? Why would I even haunt a person when I ain't dead yet?! “Excuse me? That's a very rude thing to say to a person you just met.” I exclaimed with a bit of a high tone to hint to the other person that I’m not happy at all.

“You’re so weird today Cello. Speaking of, this guy right here also resides in room 506.” Zerickson said as he pushed my luggage and handed it over to the guy named Cello and gave me the keys he hid earlier. “With that said, Cello right here will escort you to your new dorm, Venaira.” Zerickson added and pushed the both of us out of the room, both dumbfounded.

Wait, did I ever give out my name to Zerickson? I'll think about that later because I have pressing matters that I have to face first. This guy has been staring at me since we got out of the clinic. I wish I could slap his face away because he’s too attractive and his staring doesn’t help at all. Not at all!

[He’s a good person. He won’t put you in danger.]

‘Wow, you’re appearing just now? Thanks! A great help, really!’ is what I want to yell at K but a certain someone is staring at me and he might think that I’m a crazy woman out for blood. I glanced at him and furrowed my eyebrows. “You’ve been staring for a while now. you know… Can we go to our dorm now?” I asked with a forced smile.

Cello looked at the luggage he was holding and back at me and then turned his back and started walking. ‘GAHHHHH! PLEASE RESPOND I”M DYING’ I want to spit these words right in front of him but I don’t have the audacity to do so because I might turn into a dead meat.

A few minutes passed and we reached another building. It was bigger than the first one and it looks like there are more facilities here. “We’ll pass this building but as we do, you have to look down. We’ll reach the dorms after this building.” He instructed and motioned his fingers down. That is a very strange request but I’ll follow him so that I won’t cause any more mess.

My hair on the sides blocked my side profile. That's why people won’t be able to take a peek on my face. I can still see the back of Cello’s foot and I made sure that I won’t lose him because if that happens, I’ll be lost. A After a while, we entered the building so I shook my head just as Cello wanted but then I heard a few whispers, well, not really because it’s like their words were meant to reach me.

“Who the hell is she?”

“Look, the guy is pulling her luggage. She looks unfamiliar.”

“Isn’t that one of our famous seniors?!”

“Who’s this bug?”

“...I see.” I whispered to myself with a smile. So he asked me to bow my head so that these people won’t recognize and gang me up. Aren’t you a sweet person, Cello?

After pushing the two people out of the room, Zerickson sighed and sat on the chair beside Nurse Michiko. The nurse looked at him before sitting on her office desk. “Was that the person you were talking about?” Nurse Mich asked as she started signing her paperworks. Zerickson nodded in response.

“What are you doing in here, Venaira…”
