Oh My Ghost!

The Boy (I)

However, it's been weeks and no one came to visit me. Not anyone's shadow. Oh there was. The nurses and the doctor.

My cheeks were puff up when the door opened and the doctor, which I learned was Doc. Henry and one nurse who was Ms. Cathy, entered the room. They did they're regular check and change some fluids.

I stared at them why they busied themselves.

"Why....why no one came to visit me?" I ask them which I get silence in the end. But it did not stop me to vent my frustration to them.

"Hey! Doc. Henry! Did they come to your office? It's two weeks already! I didn't even sleep to wait for them!"

"Nurse Cath! Did you really call them? How about my school? Or the police? Maybe they thought I was missing!"

"Hey! Hey! Answer me will you?! Please!" I am now practically shouting in front of their faces.

"Doc. Henry, I already notify the school." The lord heard my prayer.

"What did they say?" Doc. Henry asked while still checking my heartbeat.

I am now standing in front of Nurse Cath and watching every twitch of her brows.

"What did they say? What did they say?" I added up. Nurse Cath was taking her sweet time!

"They....said..." Oh my! Nurse Cath can you not kill me with your suspense?!

"They said...?" instead of shouting I encouraged her to speak even it did not take effect.

"...her...situation is...a little bit...complicated..."

My eyes got wide at the hesitant and confused face of nurse Cath.

What is complicated?! Why complicated! Why not just call my parents! What is complicated with that! Just tell them I got an accident!

Doctor Henry finally looked up. His tired eyes that was hidden behind his thick glasses and dark hair became irritated.

"What's with them? Did they have a way to contact her relatives?"

Nurse Cath confused face become more confused.

"I ask them that doc. But...their answer got me confused also. They said that her details are confidential."

Both me and Doctor Henry crunched our brows.

"Are they insane? Their student got in accident and they did not help to contact her relatives? What kind of school is that?"

I nodded with the anger building inside of me. What's with that!

"Did they say anything else? How about her expenses?"

Doctor Henry asked again.

"I'm sorry doc, I also asked that..but they said it was not covered by the school. And they immediately cut the line. I tried to call them, but they did not answer."

Nurse Cath apologetically said.

Doc Henry's brow furrowed more.

"How about the reporters? They pop out to cover it as a news right?"

"Yes, Doc. I think...it was on the first day when three reporters from different news station want to cover it...but, after that day, no news came out. But we gave them the details."

"No follow up?"

"Yes, doc. They did not call afterwards. But they said on the first day that they will come back again to interview her relatives about the hit and run..." Nurse Cath got to level three confusion face.

Doctor Henry nodded.

"I understand now." then he looked at the girl in the bed.

"Too bad, it happened on the teenager like her."

And with that, their conversation stopped and they left the room. Leaving me startled behind.

"What do you understand? I don't understand! Heck! Can somebody tell me what's going on?!" I screamed at no one. Mind you, being alone here with your body for weeks will surely make you crazy. And it added to my frustrations that I don't remember a thing.

I walked back and forth in the room to think of a step of what should I do. I thought back of what Ms. Cath said. She said that the school cannot give my information...the school cannot give my information...the school...

The school!

"Yeah! I should go to the school! Maybe I can find something there!" I clapped my hands.

I penetrated to the door and walked on the hall way. This floor have eight isolation rooms. My room is at the end. I need to pass by the seven rooms to go the downstairs. All of the rooms except the first room near the stairs are not occupied. I know it because when I was bored at night I check the remaining rooms in this floor. I only wonder in this floor because I'm afraid to go far away from my body. What if my body start waking up without me around? And another soul occupied my body? That would be my loss.

I walked until I reached the stairs and was startled.

I saw a boy sitting on a staircase. He was hugging his knees and buried his head in his arms. He wear a hospital gown and looked really pitiful.

But I'm not a busybody. ( ←_← She's being sarcastic here) So I'm not gonna ask what's his doing and why he is here. I held myself to not blurt those things out.

Being polite and being a courtious young lady I said,

"Excuse me." I did not sound it with a question mark right?

The boy moved a little to the corner with the same posture. I stepped and passed by him.

When I stepped in a couple of stairs I stopped.

Did I see it right? Did he just...moved? Did he hear me?

I slowly turn around.

But he was gone.
