rumor

''Good afternoon everyone.this is from the committee of announcement, we believed some of you have already heard the news that one of our fellow student was missing last night around 6:00 pm ,there are no evidence or witness until now" we were in the middle of the class when speaker echoed throughout the building from the school intercom system

"the police are now investigating but we suggest that everyone needs to go home with a friend for safety"

"A friend huh" I murmured

"Class rep, Have you ever heard about the puppet master cosette ?from general department?The One who owns an entire classroom full of antique porcelain dolls?" i heard my classmate gossiping

shanon,our class representative nodded"general department students are kinda weird right?"

"right" they all agree to gwens statement

"you think she had something to do with this??"one of my female classmate asked

" i dont think so"shanon doubly responded

"but i do I heard they found piano strings around the abandoned school building near general department few hours after the incident"she added lowering her voice

"You can rely on number 7, I've heard she's pretty good at these things"

i clenched my fist

how can they gossip and make stories about a serious stuff like this?this is no longer a joke"please wherever you are hang in there ruka''

"I thought she was just an urban legend in this school"shanon asked back

"she's an illusionary student"

"There is a common point of all her humors...That she can solve problems of paranormal phenomenon and can grant whishes no matter how ambitious it is "gwen added

"I heard She was once labeled by this school as "the one that does not exist."

"Kinda creepy right lucious?shanon said looking me that made me back to my senses

i was shocked how close she was,i didn't even notice her walking towards me because i got lost in my thoughts

i just nodded on what she said and pay her no attention

"...."

The whole class is blur of uneasy students and passive teachers

When the final bells ring.I rush out of the class in relief

''The most famous story is the sevenths of the seven mysteries"

"On the third floor of the general department school building lives an outcast student Who grants wish to anyone who summon her"

ive heard the story of that one too

i silently walked down the hallway with my head down trying not to get attention from anyone

"Who's that boy?from class SA-1?"

"Oh i think hes a new student here .he just joined the school orchestra club"

are they talking about me?i gritted my teeth and bit my lips trying not to say anything

"I heard that it was his friend who got missing last night "

''oh isnt he the one at the crime scene yesterday as well?''

i stop and froze for a moment and when i couldn't take it anymore.i rush down the hall way running straight and the general department building

i just run away on where my shoes will bring me as if im trying to escape from the world until i reached an familiar building

so this is the general department?they got a different uniform and the place felt very different from the music department

it looks like an ordibary highschool building were most students holding books and science models for their project like a normal high school....where students work hard to make their parents proud chatting down.the hallway like normal student

very different from the music department students...who only care about elligance,business, music and arts and barely pay attention to general academics

''what is a music department student doing here''

''music students? .. i wonder what they're doing here"i heard some female students whispered as they look at me with disgusted look

''who cares...hes cute''

"It doesn't feel good to be treated by such an outsider''i thought to myself as i lookdown

when they noticed me i immediately rush to the stair and went to the third floor of the building when the bell rang and all the students went rush back to their respective classrooms

the hall way was so quiet and not a single soul to be seen around

thats what i thought it was when i noticed a legs wearing a pair of shoes at the end of the hall way

i went to see to take a closer look and it turns out it was a girl leaning its back against the door with her eyes closed and her long shiny jet back hair matched with the general department uniform

''its not good for.someone to sleep in this place.what if she get sick or trip on.someoneh'i.thought to myslef

i walk closer to her and kneel down on one knee and gently put my arm on her shoulder shaking her a little "hey wake up." I said as I shook her awake

she gently opened her eyes slowly and was staring straight into my eye"are you okay?"

my eyes widened.as i recognized who the girl was...shes the girl with the police officer yesterday

she weakly nodded"im fine thank you"

"You look pale" i said as lean closer to look at her face

"I'm fine"she said

" all right. I'll sit here right next to you"i said as i sat beside her and leaned my back against the door"dont worry..everything will be alright. if theres anything i can help you with just asked" i said as i looked away

It was quite a bit awkwardly for me but I decided to open a conversation that way i can be able to forgot about what happened to jin

i dont even know if those words are for her or here i am trying to conviced myself that everything will be okay

i once again clench my fist...this wouldnt have happened if i didnt left him behind.i would never forgive myself if something terrible had happend to him

''Although I'm certain that you could not solve my problem, your words did work wonders to calm me down"she said in a cold voice and i glanced at her and let out a sigh

Wow she's pretty bold. she reminds me if someone I used to know but I can't remember who

'' I heard that it was his friend who got missing last night''she suddenly said staring at the space as i looked at her in surprise...was she talkting about me

she glanced at me ''yeah you..im talking about you''she added as if shes reading my mind

how did she know?

i looked down and silently nodded"the day before yesterday....i promised to him we would be home together"

"humors says number 7 can help solving suspicious incidents"

"Upon hearing that the missing student was your friend, i made a quick mental calculation — there's no doubt you went here in the archive to ask help to look for your friend"she said as she gently stood up

"Anyways,there's actually a real person called number seven"she said and stared at me

did she said that hoping it would make me feel better?

"you just have to bring some romantic story to meet her"she smiled and turned her back"only if you can sneak into the school really early at and recite your wish at exactly 5:00 am but you must write a romance story for her as a payment"the last thing she said before slowly walked away until she got lost out of my sight leaving me confused

what did just happened?

''A romantic love story?....''
