Entering the class on a Monday morning, I glanced at Declan’s seat but it was empty.

I sighed in frustration

Declan has been absent in school for about a week and I was really worried…. I mean I was the one who made him angry , how I wish I never asked him about D2!

I walked over to my seat and as usual , ghostie was following behind me……

he is not in school again , what could be wrong with him? she asked but I ignored her

I sat down and brought out my physics book before placing my backpack gently on the tiled floor ………..

Opening the book , I went through my assignment to be sure I made no mistake…..

I nodded in satisfaction….

Sasha! a voice called and I looked up to meet Cory puppy eyes gaze ……

Can you please lend me your physics note? She pleaded and I grinned

Just simply tell me you want to dub from me and I will give it to you . I said with an eye roll

Fine! You are right . She agreed and i smirked……

picking up my book from the table , i handed it to her …..

Thanks. She muttered and ghostie scoffed

I turned sideways to look at her and met her angry gaze …..

What is wrong with you Sasha? Why did you give her your note? She asked with a frown

I glanced around the class to be sure no one was looking before answering her…..

I am trying to get close to her. I answered in whispers and she nodded slowly………

But she is … she tried to say but stopped when Declan walked into the class…..

Oh my gawd! Cutie is here. She squealed in delight and I sighed in relief

he finally came to school today!

He walked over to his seat and sat down quietly…..

What is wrong with him! I wondered,he looked so pale!

I watched Racheal walk up to him , she leaned over to whisper something to him and a faint smile escape his lips despite his dark mood…..

Are they dating? I wondered

And as if reading my mind , ghostie asked me the same question…….Are they dating?

I don’t know . I shrug and she scoffed ….

They better not be! She retorted angrily and I smiled lightly…..

Why does she dislike Racheal so much? I wondered……..

*

The class went quiet as soon as the physics teacher walked into the class……

Cory! are you done with my book? I asked in whispers but she shook her head negatively….

Please hurry up with it . I urged her to and she nodded slowly …….

So today , I will be teaching you on Capacitor and Capacitance. the teacher started…

But ma you gave us an assignment. a girl seated in front reminded and the whole class was rippled with angry murmurs…..

I stretched my neck to get a better view of the girl and saw it was the same chubby girl who confronted me about Seducing Declan….

I smirked

I guess she is the “loosed mouth” of the class and I am going to use it to an advantage……..

Enough of the murmurings! the teacher barked and the class went silent again…….

I will take a look at it in the next class . She informed and began writing on the marker board ……

Leaning over , I was about tapping Cory when she turned back to face me ….

here. She handed me back my book with a smile …

Are you done? I asked to be sure and she nodded

Thanks so much friend. She said in appreciation and I smiled lightly…..

Friend! I doubt that , my only true friend is …..ghostie ….

*

I stared absentmindedly at the board as the teacher wrote on it , I was lost in thought wondering what could be wrong with Declan…..

Everything about him seems so off ……

I turned sideways to look at him , he was fiddling with his pen while staring at the board ……..

I sighed

Are you alright? ghostie asked and I shook my head negatively

Are you worried about Declan? She asked again and I nodded slowly

Then try and talk to him . She suggested, I think he is bothered about something. She added and I exhaled deeply …….

I will do just that!……………………

*

So we will learn about the formulas in our next lesson. the teacher said and I sighed in relief …

The class was d--n boring!

Picking up my backpack from the floor, I was about bringing out my English note when ghostie called me…

I nodded without looking at her

I think Declan is leaving the class. She informed and I looked up Just In time to see him walk out of the class…….

And without thinking, I stood up from my seat and ran after him ………

*

Declan! I called but he did not answer, instead he increased his walking pace and began to climb the staircase…..

What is wrong with him? ghostie asked and I bit my lips ….

We followed quietly behind him as he climbed up the flight of stairs to an empty hall…..

Declan! I called again and this time , he turned back to look at me ……

So it is you , what do you want? he asked coldly

I want to talk to you. I answered while moving closer to him and he smirked

Talk to me! Why? he asked staring intently at me…..

Can we go somewhere quiet? I asked looking around

he stared at me for a while and then led me to an empty classroom…..

*

I looked around the classroom, it was dusty and was also littered with cigarettes butts and ashes ……..

Jeez! I never knew there were smokers in this school ……….

So what do you want to talk to me about? he started

erm I just want to apologise to you. I stuttered and he smirked

Apologise! Why! Did you offend me ? he asked in a rush and I gave him a surprised look

I thought you were angry with me because i asked about ……

D2! he completed and I nodded……

but how the hell did you get to know that name ? he asked and I swallowed hard

Why can’t you just tell him the truth? ghostie who was standing beside me asked but I ignored her….

how did you? he repeated

erm she is eeerm my erm . I stuttered not knowing what to say and he smirked…….

You don’t even know her so why asking about her?he probed but I just stared blankly at him…..

Show him the necklace, it might help convince him. ghostie suggested and I nodded in agreement…

Unbuttoning the collar of my shirt , I was about to show him the golden necklace when I heard someone scoffed

I looked in the direction and saw Racheal standing at the entrance of the class…..

Racheal! I called in surprise

She looked at me and then at Declan..

What is going on here? She asked in a huff

Nothing. I answered and turned to go when Declan caught me by my arm……….

I turned to look at him in surprise and he smiled lightly

Aren’t you curious to know more about her? he asked and I arched my eyebrow……

Who are you talking about? I asked and he leaned forward to whisper in my ears ……

D2 is just her initials, her real name is Daphne. he corrected and then let go of me …….

I gave him a small smile before walking out of the class…..

What did he whisper in your ears? ghostie asked and I grinned….

I thought ghosts have super powers. I teased her….

Please Sasha just tell me . She pleaded and I smiled lightly….

Daphne ! Your name is Daphne……….

Why was she here with you ? Racheal asked as soon as we were alone

It is none of your business. I retorted and she scoffed…

Are you f-----g her also? she half yelled and I smirked…..

Dipping my hands into my pocket , I pulled out a packet of cigarettes and a lighter…..

I lit up the cigarette and inhaled the smoke …..

So what are you waiting for, let us get started …..

I pulled her close to me and puff out the smoke on her……

She retched and coughed out ……:

You are crazy Declan! She cursed and I chuckled

Are you just aware of it now? I asked inhaling more of the smoke……

But who am I to you , am I still your girlfriend? She suddenly asked and I frowned…….

I have told you times without number not to ask me this question again……..

But why or don’t you love me again? She asked and I froze…..

We used to be the best couple in class but everything changed when that stupid Daphne Rui…… she tried to say but I cut her off….

Don’t ever call my sister stupid again . I warned and she sighed

Fine! I am sorry for calling her that but please let us go back to how we were . she pleaded and I scoffed

That can never happen!

but why? She asked with a wavering voice and I could tell she was about to cry ……

because I don’t love you. I answered with a low voice ………

Liar! You love me Declan, you are just too confused to know . she retorted angrily before storming out of the room……..

I watched her go and smirked

She is really crazy!

On getting to the class, I met only a few persons in the class

I glanced at the time , it was 11:00 am

Oh! It was time for short recess…..

Looking around the class, I spotted the chubby girl seated alone at the extreme corner of the class……:

I smirked and walked up to her ….

hi! I greeted the girl

she looked up at me and scoffed …..

What do you want? She asked coldly and I clutched my fist to stop myself from poking her flat nose…..

I faked a smile…..

I just want to apologise for yelling at you last week ………

She gave me a surprised look……..

And why are you doing all this? She asked

Because i want to be friends with you . I answered with a smile…….

Friends! but why! She asked and I glanced at ghostie before answering her …..:

You see erm I just like you. I stuttered and she smiled lightly…….

Quit the act and just tell me what you want? She said with a grin ….

What! I exclaimed softly and she nodded slowly

I bit my lips , I never knew she was so smart!

Fine! My seat! I want to know why it was abandoned, I want to know why they all reacted strangely when I sat on it ………

She looked around the class to make sure no one was eavesdropping before looking back at me….

You see I am quite new here also and I don’t really know what happened but I heard the seat is kinda cursed …

Cursed! I repeated in shock and she nodded….

I heard the owner of the seat ruined her own family and anyone who sits there will share in the same fate ……..

I stared at her in confusion

How is that possible?how can a girl ruin her own family?

This was the same question I asked also when I first heard about it ……. how can a girl ruin her own family?

I sighed

Do you have an idea who the girl is? I asked and she nodded

her name is Daphne and she always wear a necklace with the wordings “D2” on it . She informed and I gasped in shock …….

Is this the reason why Cory looked shocked when I showed the necklace to her? or is there something more to it …….

I shifted my gaze to Daphne who also had a surprised look on her face ……

What exactly did she do? I wondered…….
