I hate it when my mind is stuck with one thing, I hate thinking about a single thing over and over again. I know sooner or later I have let it slide and yes, I choose sooner. Kya didn’t deserve to die but she did anyways and it’s over. I can’t let one single incident ruin my life, I know it sounds like I’m heartless but I truly pray for her soul to Rest In Peace. Right now, I just wanna let all worries roll over my back and then get something to distract me. I have been thinking of that one thing to distract me but just couldn’t think of anything worth my time.
"That’s it, Amanda. She always has something exciting to do." I mumbled as I reached to grab my phone and dial her number.
"Hey, girlfriend." She answered almost immediately
"Were you waiting for my call?" I asked
"Me, wait for your call. What" She gritted the word 'what'
"Are you lying to me?"
"No am not." She sounded low
"You were, weren’t you?" I asked
"Just tell me why you called."
"I was bored so I wanted to ask you if you know any exciting thing or news, you know stuff that will distract me."
"Distract you?" She questioned
"Not exactly but just tell me."
"Well….Uhm.. you can read a novel or watch a movie or read a gossip magazine or maybe go strolling….you know there are a lot of things to do." She said
"Thanks, I think I will just read a gossip magazine, tell me the latest."
"You can read the one about Vin diesel"
"Okay, thanks."
"By the way, why are you looking for something to distract you? Did you fight with someone?" She asked
"No, I….Uhm….Don’t tell anyone if I tell you this."
"You’re my only friend, who will I tell?"
I sometimes forget that Amanda doesn’t really like to associate with people.
"Okay, I will tell you from the beginning, but you have to promise not to question."
"First you tell me not to tell others and now you’re making me promise you? Is it that serious?" She asked
"Yes, it’s very serious."
"Okay, I promise, go ahead and tell me what you gotta say."
"Okay. A friend of mine, well she’s not exactly my friend but she passed away yesterday and I kinda have an idea who was behind her murder, not that I’m sure but I think I know the person behind it."
"Who is behind the murder?” She asked
"It’s a girl, a very weird girl, its like she’s possessed or something and then you know the funny part about this is that this same weird girl has been following me not just in real life but in my dream. I think she’s not human, I know it sounds crazy but I’m serious." I said
I waited for a couple of seconds but Amanda didn’t say a word "Amanda? Amanda are you there." I asked
She burst into laughter as I heard her clapping her hands with amusement "Possessed, you to say." She laughed
"Amanda I’m serious," I said in a profound tone
"Yeah sure, is this some kind of movie or what" She ridiculed "Like seriously, she follows you and you see her in your dream?" She questioned
"Yeah, to be honest with you, I don’t think it makes sense but it’s real."
She burst into laughter "Rachel comes on, you don’t have to lie, I’m sure you are trying to spoil a movie for me so come spill it out."
"Spill what out?"
"The name of the movie, spill it out."
"You don’t believe me, do you?" I asked
"Umm…. I believe that you just spoiled a movie for me."
"Amanda I’m serious…. You know what, just forget about it. Bye" I ended the call
I don’t actually blame her for not believing me, if I were in her position I won’t believe me either. It just doesn’t make any sense. I dropped my phone on the bed, put on my ear pods, grabbed my jacket, and then walked out of the room to get some lunch. I didn’t have a good breakfast or a good dinner.
Once I entered the hostel cafeteria, I ordered an extra cheeseburger and cola. Walking towards a chair I saw a couple of seniors, it looks like they were mocking someone but I couldn’t see the face of the person they were mocking. I could hear every word they were saying, not that I was eavesdropping but their voice was a bit audible. They were mocking her outfit and calling her weird. I know I don’t dress or act like a college student but to be honest, all those things don’t matter to me. Being popular isn’t my kind of thing, I prefer to live life and have fun, I don’t care about what others think or say about me and I think that girl shouldn’t, it’s kinda shocking that she’s been bullied in college, like seriously if someone ever told me that people get bullied in college I will never agree. When I was in junior school, no one dared to bully me, I feel like a person bullies you only when you let them, and to be honest, no one has a right over you. I would have helped that girl but I don’t wanna interfere in a business that’s not mine.
"There is your cheeseburger and cola." The waitress kept it on the table
I was so lost that I forgot about my order.
"With extra cheese?" I asked
"Sorry but we are out of extra cheese but enjoy"
"Bummer! Thanks anyway." I took a bite of the cheeseburger, not gonna lie but it’s not that bad after all.
Once I was done eating, I head back to the room, grabbing my phone I saw five messages from Amanda, I know she’s feeling guilty right now. I kept the phone on the side table, I’m not gonna reply to any of her texts, not until I finish all my assignments, I haven’t done any of my assignments for the past week, I have never felt this lazy before but not anymore, I’m a topper and I’m planning of staying that way.
