CHAPTER 2 (Someone Who Changed and What Happened To The Spirit?)

CLARISSA WIRATS (2)

Today became history for me while studying at this school. That was because for the first time, I came ahead of all the students in the class. More precisely, part. Cause I set the alarm wrong. Quickly, Mommy and Daddy became confused to see my panic at home earlier.

In fact, I didn't even have time for breakfast. Besides, I also didn't heat this car before I used it.

When I was around Salampe Street, I realized that the sun had just wanted to bring itself up. Be, I come to school early in the morning blind like this.

As soon as I arrived at school, I spread my eyes around, it turned out that the atmosphere of the school was so peaceful and calm in the morning.

"Ichaaa .. good morning," said the gendoruwo-shaped creature who became the guardian of one of the trees in the school parking lot.

If usually genderuwo is famous for his scary face with a large and creepy posture and his habit of disturbing humans.

For some reason, this one creature never does anything that makes humans disturbed. Well, even though his face is still spooky. But among all his countrymen, only he has a positive aura that I have ever encountered.

Ohiya, I forgot to tell you that the ghosts called me, Icha. They thought that name was more suitable for me.

"For Mr. Gen" I said with a smile.

"Your day came early."

"Yes, Mr. Gen. Icha set the wrong alarm, so it came so early, deh," I said and then started walking. "Icha come in first, sir," I added.

Mr. Gen aka Gendoruwo just nodded.

After I got to class, I went in and occupied my place. I wish someone would come back besides me.

But once I sat on the chair, suddenly a coldness hit my back which resulted in the entire buluk kuduk me shudder by itself.

Even though I am an indigo, sometimes I can also run away in a storm from seeing a ghost that suddenly appears before me.

"Icha ... Did your tumben come quickly?" I turned to the right corner of the class.

It turned out to be Bina. He was a ghost who settled in my class and also one of my ghost friends at this school. Now he was standing in the corner of the classroom close to the door.

"Yes, ak-" I stopped. I was surprised to see Ariana suddenly standing in front of the classroom door with a slightly creepy facial expression.

He just stood in front of the door with his eyes straight ahead.

Something is wrong with Ariana.

I watched him from the tip of the foot to the head. I don't know why Ariana looks so different today.

Clothes that had been allowed to loosen, now made tighter. The long skirt also changed to a short skirt. Hair changed. Which was once left long just like that, now he cut it with the current trending model. And her face was polished with light makeup that made her look prettier than usual.

I was thinking, maybe because something happened to him that caused him to change his appearance like this.

Although my memory is bad, but I have not forgotten the sad face of Ariana yesterday. Maybe because of that.

I know today people have very strange habits. Suppose when a breakup. They will definitely make changes. Whether it's appearance, or something else that makes it seem to declare that he has been separated from something that curbs, makes shit, and others. Essentially, it kind of shows that 'Now, I'm feeling free'.

Realizing that I was watching, Ariana's eyes, which had only been looking straight ahead, suddenly turned towards me.

The deg!

For some reason, when our eyes met each other, my whole body stiffened by itself, my heart was also beating very fast and slowly I felt fear beginning to envelop me.

What's the matter?

Why did Ariana who was always smiling friendly and cheerful, now turned into a very cold and scary Ariana?

What kind of trouble did he experience to the point of making it change drastically like this?

Okay, questions that might not be answered keep popping up in my mind.

Ariana began to step into the classroom. When I walked past me, I somehow saw a black aura coming from behind her body. However, while trying to pay attention back, the black aura had already disappeared.

Ariana's seat is located in the second row from the back, while my seat is in the second row from the front. But our bench is not in line. From the entrance of the class, he sat on the first row of benches close to the wall, then I was in the row of benches in the middle, just in front of the blackboard.

Because the feeling of fear is still wrapped in me, I better ask Bina for help to check whether or not what was caught by my eyes.

When trying to ask Bina to check on him, he just fell silent and disappeared.

Now, in this class, it's just me and Ariana. Really, I was scared to death. For some reason, both of my legs became limp after looking at him earlier.

I also wonder what happened to him.

Actually I am not a person who kepo like Dora who can quickly find information both important and unimportant at once. However, for some reason this time my ke-keboan instinct was suddenly on. Perhaps, this is because I have a friend like Aldora who has acute kepo disease.

Out of curiosity, I tried to greet him. However, when I turned back at once my intention to reprimand him was gone. I found him staring fixedly at me with sharp eyes.

She's not like the Ariana I know.

For the second time, our eyes met each other and again made my body sculpt. It was not because he was an invisible being that had a scary spooky face, nor was it because he was doing strange things like suddenly dancing a zumba.

No other because he was grinning at me right now. A very scary grin.

I quickly turned and turned back to face the front. I felt my hands shake violently. I better get out of this class. I felt worse when I saw that scary grin.

"Vorginhoo ....."

When I stood up from the chair, suddenly there was a very loud screaming sound from out there.

*_*ALGE*_*

Hearing the sound of screaming, spontaneously made me run in search of the direction of the source of the sound.

But when I found her, I saw Viu who was my classmate already lying underground crying hysterically. The other students who were still few in number were also worried about Viu who suddenly shouted hysterically.

"Lo why, Viu?" my many.

He looked towards me. "Clarissa .." he said, pointing to the tree that was right in front of us.

I and the other students followed the direction of Viu's index finger.

And all of us were surprised. Some were screaming, some were crying, some even fainted. But I just froze to see it.

I still can't believe what my eyes have caught.

This sight is really scary.

On top of the tree hung a corpse wearing the same school uniform as us.

His face was pale white, his eyes widened as if he wanted to get out of his position, his mouth gaping wide. I'm not sure, but the mouth of this corpse is wide open exactly like a ghost in a horror movie called 'Host Island'. I know that movie because Rana forced me to accompany her to watch.

Horrible and scary at once.

The teachers and staff, who also saw a body hanging from the tree, immediately called the police and medics.

*_*ALGE*_*

Fifteen minutes later, sirens were heard from the police car, followed by the sound of ambulance sirens arriving at the school. Because the distance from the school from the hospital and also the police station is quite close, so we do not have to wait long.

Upon arrival, the authorities and medics tried to remove the body.

I tried to laugh, what happened to him before he decided to end himself like this?

However, when I did so I could not see anything.

When trying to interact with the delicate creatures that were around the tree, somehow they all just shook their heads and then just disappeared.  Including Mr. Gen who is the strongest guard in this school. He also gave me no answer at all.

I circled my eyes around, hoping to find something that could be a clue.

But somehow my eyes immediately caught the figure of Ariana in the crowd.

As the body was lowered, I noticed Ariana's expression.

She smiles.

A smile that can be described as 'a sense of satisfaction, perhaps?'

Why could he smile like that when everyone was hysterical about the terrible condition of the corpse?

The eyes that had been staring at the corpse, for some reason now suddenly changed its course. Those two eyes are looking straight at me. For the third time our eyes met.

When I looked at each other, I saw that it was empty. I don't see an Ariana in it. There's just, dark.

After looking at me, he looked back at the corpse that had been successfully lowered.

But not for a minute, he again directed his eyes again towards me, then accompanied by a frightening grin.  After that, Ariana walked out of the crowd and left.

What's really wrong with him?

*_*ALGE*_*

After a series of investigations by the police. Eventually, the body was taken to a hospital for follow-up.

The student who ended up hanging himself on top of the tree, named Ananda Ardiansyah. He was in the eleventh grade of IPS one.

Surely, that name is very foreign to me. Because I don't recognize him at all. According to the girls who were gossiping right in front of me, Ananda was one of the most popular girls in school.  That means he's the same status as my two best friends. Well, although the same, I'm sure they're both much more popular than Ananda.

Ohiya, I had also heard from the teacher, that yesterday he still had time to see Ananda practicing in his excursion room.

Again I said that, I am not the one who is spoiled. I can tell all this information because it is the people around me who speak for themselves. And again, I have ears.

"Ih, what a serem! I can't sleep at night" said someone beside me.

"Well, why is he using suicide at school, anyway? Why not at home or somewhere else?  It makes people afraid!" added again.

The people who heard it instantly stared meaningfully at the curly haired chick . Some may agree and some may not.

I don't like hearing it. Even though he died in terrible conditions, we should not say so. I'm sure, he must have had a reason why he dared to do such a thing.

*_*ALGE*_*

Students and students are also arriving more and more. Some still had time to see the body was taken down and taken to the hospital. And there are also those who do not get to see it at all.

Even though his body had been taken away, but the students and students both new and those who had long come to school, they still continued to swarm under the tree.

I was shocked when I felt someone suddenly embrace my shoulder.

"Good morning, bie ..."

I also directly looked.

It was Aldora.

"Oh, God! I'm surprised by Dora."

"Sory's beautiful. Uh but what's up, Cla? How many of these?" ask Dora.

"Hm ... ta- earlier there was a corpse hanging on top of the tree," I said stammered while pointing towards the tree that became the scene of the case (TKP). Then take a deep breath.

I swear, I just realized that from earlier I did not make a sound at all. Even breathing is hard. That's because today I witnessed some very terrible things.

Starting from Ariana with all its strangeness, and the most terrible is the discovery of the corpse.

"HUH?!" pekik both.

"What is really lo?" ask Aldora again.

"Eh, I asked you. Since when the hell, does Clarissa know how to lie?" rana said that made Aldora surprised.

"Ohiya, yeah. I forget that this child can't lie" Aldora replied while scratching her head which I'm sure doesn't itch at all. "Sorry, Cla."

I just nodded.

"Trus, where's the body now?" ask Aldora.

"It was taken to the hospital. Why did you guys come so long, anyway?"

These two friends looked at each other, then looked in wonder at me.

"We should have been the ones. How did it come so early in the morning? It's still 7:00, you know! Well, even though fifteen more minutes the bell went in was a sound, anyway," said Rana.

"Gue misstalled the alarm."

"Classical answer lo Cla," said Aldora accompanied by a look of horror from Rana. "Kidding me," he said again.

"Thankfully I didn't squirm. You know, I'm afraid of gosh! I was afraid I could not sleep for weeks. If I can't sleep, I'm sick. If I'm sick, who wants to worry about my oppa who will soon come back," said Rana with an anxious look.

"Yes, you are. But I confuse, why do you always watch horror movies?  "

"Belvin. Kan, like me!" answer Rana.

"Boy, lo!" Aldora.

Rana just stuck out her tongue.

Ngii....

The fake sound of the loudspeaker now held by the headmaster, sounded out loud. It made us all close our ears.

Very pained.

"Children are about to hear the bells ring. So, I hope you don't have to gather under that tree. Now, you all go to class."

The speech made all students and students instantly become obedient children and follow the words of the headmaster.

That is because he is famous for his assertiveness towards students who do not want to follow orders and obey school rules. As a result, no one dared to argue against it.

*_*ALGE*_*

I don't know why, I feel like there's something weird about this.

My school has two gates.

  The first gate is the parking lot. Where all students and students and school staff parked their vehicles.

In addition, on the right side of the first gate, we can also find a row of various excrement rooms.

Second gate. When passing through this gate, we are immediately presented with a view of the vast field and rows of classrooms on the right and left sides.

  Well, the tree is located at the first gate. When I came and parked the vehicle, I didn't see any bodies hanging before. And I'm sure the kids who come to the side like me don't see anything suspicious either.

So, since when does the body depend?

*_*ALGE*_*

I'm already at the scene of the crime. I deliberately came to the tree that was now right in front of me after all the lessons were over.

The reason, because I'm sure no one will dare to approach the tree when the school has started to be quiet. Surely, they would be afraid that the ghost of the hanging girl had appeared before them.

And I was right. Once arrived, the tree in the parking area is already deserted.

I try to look to the right and to the left. Safe.

I scanned the tree closely, then tried to put my palm onto a part of his body, so that I could feel the energy he stored.

Trees cannot talk. However, he has always been a silent witness to what is happening around him.

I tried to close my eyes and concentrate so that what I was looking for I could find immediately.

However, when my concentration had already gathered and revealed a white shadow resembling the girl I was looking for. Suddenly I was surprised by a clap on my shoulder that instantly made my concentration crumble.

"What's going on here?" Ask.

I turned towards the person who was reprimanding me.

"Lo don't know well, if anyone committed suicide in this tree?" Ask again.

"You know!"

"Trus, what are you doing here?" Ask again.

"What's going on here, too?"

"Eh was asked instead of her. If you ask me why I'm here, the answer is there because I'm surprised to see there's a long-haired girl in the location where committed suicide some time ago."

"Yah's girl? Sorry deh. Don't be afraid. I'm human, just like you."

"Gue knows! That's why I came here. What the hell is coming here? Not afraid what, if the spirit who killed himself was not following you?"

I am looking for that spirit again.

"Hm .. yes. Th-that"

"Anu-that's what? The obvious, by the way," he said.

"Ga--nothing really."

He patted his head.

"Yaudah, you don't stay here long. Btw, what's your name?"

"My name is Clarissa" I replied.

I waited for him to say goodbye immediately. If he stays here I can't concentrate.

He looked at me with a strange look.

"Lo don't come back to me?"

" huh? Um ... Does it have to go back?"

Suddenly his face changed.

"God ... yaiyalah! Moreover, who will be asked is the most handsome and cool guy at this school," he said with a hoot. "

"Lo narcissistic huh?"

"Gue is not narcissistic. This is a fact. I'm Alfandi. The head of the Tiger gang," he said and then checked the clock in his hand. "Gue unplug first. Uh, this is lo's?"

I glanced at the thing in the hands of this guy named Alfandi.

A letter?

I don't feel like I'm saving or carrying a letter.

Then the guy thrust the thing at me, and then just left.

I began to observe what was now in my hands. A plain white letter with an A sign at the end of the envelope.

Out of curiosity, I opened the letter.

I WAS WRONG. I'M SORRY. I'M***INDEED WORTHY OF RETALIATION. AS A FORM OF REGRET, I WILL GIVE UP MY SOUL.

    -ANANDA***

After I finished reading this short letter, suddenly a chill swept over my skin which made my nape shudder at once.  I turned towards the tree again.

Then when he turned around, the spirit of the girl who had killed herself this morning suddenly revealed her figure. Now, his form is exactly with the kuntilanak who are in this school.

"You wrote this letter?"

The soul shook its head.

"Why did you kill yourself?"

He looked straight at me. I could see the look on her sad face and ... angry? 

"May I know why you killed yourself?

He shook his head again, then just disappeared.
