"Hey, why are you so surprised?" tanya Dita pouted, massaging her hands that Clara tepis.
"Certainly surprised, you surprised me! come outside!" clara answered quickly, then pulled Dita's hand out.
"Hey, slow down the road," complained Dita who was dragged suddenly by Clara.
Damnit damnit! I'm really not used to it! clara walked quickly to her class.
The waiting bell rang, Clara, Alice and Dita walked through a crowded corridor with other students.
In addition to the sea of humans that made this road feel full, Clara also saw some ghosts among the crowd. Some of them just flashed by, some were silent to watch blankly at the talking disciple. There was even a ghost who was just quietly standing in front of the classroom door.
Clara just needs to close her eyes as if they are invisible so they don't realize Clara can see them. Even so, it still feels uncomfortable.
A male ghost was staring at Clara from a distance. Unfortunately, Clara realized that uncomfortable look and she had to walk past the ghost. The ghostly gaze followed Clara's movements, from afar until Clara passed through.
After passing through the ghost type who was just staring at it, Clara sighed softly. He felt lucky because they were not annoying, just staring intensely.
"You can see me, right?"
The voice of someone in front of him made Clara stop her steps, but only for a moment. The next second Clara again continued the step of not caring about the owner of the voice.
"Don't pretend you didn't see me" the voice of the male ghost who suddenly matched Clara's steps.
Clara tried to normalize her slightly gasped body, and continued walking. A ghost who looked like an ordinary human, he was in uniform just like Lisya. It was just that his face was paler and it was obvious that he was a ghost.
"I need your help" said this ghost flatly.

Clara's finger was tinkering at her phone lazily. He opened and closed his uncle's contacts, thinking whether he should contact him or not.
The more days, the ghosts that appear increasingly disturbing. Instead of just passing or staring, they started trying to touch Clara.
If Clara told Alice and Dita, she was sure that her two friends would be scared.
As of right now, Clara was sitting in a quite crowded library. Not only crowded because of students, but also because of ghosts that sometimes pass by.
Clara stood up and walked over to find the book she needed, on a shelf with some students there. At least he's not alone. While searching, Clara suddenly felt something familiar. Clara's heartbeat suddenly raced faster for some reason. He also found it increasingly difficult to breathe. Feeling the aura around her was very uncomfortable, Clara finally turned her head and found herself alone there.
Since when did everyone leave?
This is no good. If it takes too long alone, he worries that there will be unwanted things. Clara chose to return to her place, sitting at the front desk. But as she was about to leave, she froze again on the spot, a female ghost in shabby clothes and a creepy face grinning in front of her.
The ghostly aura was the same as he had felt back in the days of SD. Clara's body trembled so violently, as if her body was remembering the events of the past. Clara's tears began to fall as the ghost moved closer.
Clara's body could not be moved, while the ghost grinned and approached Clara. Just today, Clara wanted to scream and cry. Can anyone help him?
The atmosphere of the library was suddenly silent as if there was no one there. Every now and then he saw the ghost giggling creepily. With tears now coming down even more, the creepy ghost reached out to grab Clara.
Clara did not want to, but her mind was empty. He just wanted to scream this time.
However, the ghost movement suddenly stopped. He was silent for a few seconds and then left after.
Clara turned around quickly, finding Arion with her gentle smile there. Only this time Clara was happy when the handsome ghost was present to meet her.
Arion!
Seeing Arion's smile that he had not seen for a long time, there were no tears Clara now even flowed more rapidly. The feeling of fear and strangulation that he felt earlier had been replaced with a warm feeling for some reason.
With the rest of her strength, Clara tried to step her feet to get close to the beautiful ghost. However, Clara's eyes widened as Arion suddenly grabbed Clara, hugging her tightly, giving her a calm and warm aura.
"Calm down, I'm here" said Arion softly.
After hearing Arion's words, he closed his eyes tightly. Instead of being calm, Clara cried in silence. It was as if the burden he felt these few weeks had been lifted just like that. Fear, worry, surprise, an aura of intimidation that keeps on repeating itself. And he can't tell anyone.
No one can make Clara a friend to tell stories. But Arion, as if he knew everything and without Clara, said Arion as if he had known it.
Before long, Clara was wide-eyed and pulled her body away from Arion.
"You-you, can touch me?" ask Clara not to believe it. On his face there were even tears flowing.
Did Arion just hug her?
Arion sighed softly and smiled softly. "Where can I hug you? I just came closer and gave you peace."
Moving a step, Arion eroded the distance between them. "Aren't you the one who's gonna hug me, Clara?" asked Arion with a charming smile.

The cafeteria was quiet enough because soon the clock bell would ring. Clara sat in the front seat of the canteen drinking mineral water in her hands.
Clara's thoughts from earlier kept them replaying the scene as Arion hugged her. It doesn't make sense! Clara clearly felt the decapitation that Arion gave her. So warm and soothing.
Clara gasped at what she was thinking. A little cheap tinge also appeared on his cheeks.
Oh my God, what am I thinking! How could I feel happy just from seeing Arion?! I even intend to hug her!!
Holy hooch! Remember Clara, she's a ghost!! A ghost!!
Once again, wherever she was, Clara could see some ghosts still roaming around. But is something different this time? Butwhat?
These few weeks have been the toughest for Clara, let alone the events in the library. But, amazingly after meeting Arion, there was no feeling of fear left until this moment. Or maybe, is it because Clara is an adult? So the effect is not like when he was still SD.
Clara let out a heavy sigh, she gulped her water once more then closed the bottle tightly. There was nothing he could do but stare at the water bottle fixed, he could not think clearly at this moment.
I need a friend to tell a story, but there's no way Mama or Uncle Leo. What could I possibly tell Alice and Dita ta--
Aarghs!
Clara was aghast when suddenly a hand touched her shoulder. As fast as lightning he brushed off the hand and immediately stood up, looking back.
"Re-Reyhan," muttered Clara looking at Reyhan feeling guilty. "I-I'm sorry I thought who," said Clara regretfully.
Reyhan smiled so sweetly. "No. I'm the one who should apologize for surprising you, can I sit next to you?" ask Reyhan.
Clara nodded and sat back in the chair followed by Reyhan sitting next to her.
