High school life is the best times of the life... is what they said. But that doesn't seem to be true for every students. For various reasons, some cannot make friends and some do not want to make friends at all. Some of them are very shy, hard to approach, seems out of league, or a total introvert. Many reasons to not socialize, but what if the reason you can't make friends is something that your'e running away from, something only you can see... Something not from the living world... What would you do? 

Running in the Hallway (Part 1)

Another day in Green Roads High School. Students walking towards inside of the campus, happily chatting to each other as if they haven't met each other yesterday. Teachers preparing for their today's lesson for their classes later. School staffs cleaning the school in the morning. This are the daily scene of this high school. As the students arrive one by one, the guard should close the gate at 9am. Just as the guard is about to close the gate, one student is running with every ounce of his energy just to make it on time. Here he is again The guard says inside his thoughts. "Why are you always late? Can't you just follow your alarm clock?" The guard asked. "Sorry! I'd try it again tomorrow!" the student shouted while rushing inside the building.

He made it just before their first class starts. Good thing that the teacher is not in the classroom yet when he arrive. He walks inside the room and the other students looks at him, he then looks on the floor he's walking to and heads to his seat. The students looked away from him as he sits down on his chair. Normally, there's a friend that would greet you when you arrive in the classroom, or you would be the one to greet them. But the boy have done neither of that, because he doesn't have anyone for him to call a friend. 

The teacher arrived and greeted her class, took their attendance and starts today's lesson. The boy has been writing in his notebook ever since he arrived. He's not listening to the lecture, nor he is interested in them. He just keeps writing something in his notebook and ignores everything around him. "Jacob Reynolds!" a shout from the teacher. Jacob twitched as he returned back to the real world. "What might you've been doing that seems more interesting than my lecture? mind if you share it in our class?" the teacher said with her angry voice, she looked at Jacob with her twitching eyebrows due to her irritation. "Uhh uhm... sorry Mrs. Nightbell... Uh I was just -err Yeah! I was just writing some notes in my notebook! yep!" Jacob answered. The teacher sighs and puts her palm in her forehead "Mind if I talk to you in the guidance later Mr. Reynolds?" the teacher asked with a disappointed look on her face. "Sure Mrs. Nightbell" Jacob answered in a low tone. This situation gives you a lot of attention, however no students looked at Jacobs direction when he was confronted. This doesn't concern him because he's used to isolation, ever since his middle school years.

The bell rings loudly in the whole campus, announcing the students recess. The students flock the cafeteria attempting to buy their lunch, some decided to just sat to the tables to have their homemade lunch there. Students are walking anywhere, chatting and laughing together. Eating together with circle of friends and studying together for their next class. Jacob headed to his usual spot every lunch, which is the school's garden. Where he can be alone and eat his lunch without minding the noisy surroundings. From the first time he's been in the schools garden, Jacob had grown comfortable in the spot. No noisy peoples, few students walking around, and most of all... No ghost exist in this place. The real reason Jacob had been eating his lunch in the garden comfortably was because there's no ghost in the surrounding unlike the other places, from his first year here till today.

Jacob have the ability to see ghost ever since he's in 3rd grade. It all began when both of his parents died in a car accident. He was so depressed that he wasn't able to sleep for three nights, that three nights where he kept his eyes open, where he sees nothing but pitch black. After the third night he started seeing ghost and scary creatures. He had told that to his grandparents that look after him, but the two thought that he's just imagining things and ignored his complaints. He was then bullied by the other students because of that, but for some reason, the bullies didn't come after him again after that incident. He's been avoided by the students of the entire school and become isolated, till now in his high school. 

The recess ended and the class continued till the day ends. Of course Jacob spent his whole day alone, scribbling his notebook and not paying attention in the lectures. Large numbers of students have already went home, and few are left.Jacob noticed that and decided that it's time for him to go home as well. He packed his things and prepares to go home, but he remembers that Mrs. Nightbell asked for him in the guidance office. He heads outside the classroom and walked upstairs, his destination is 5th floor, in the guidance office. He just kept his eyes downward looking at his steps. He do this to not see the not the surroundings, but the ghosts creeping around the school. He raise his head to see the end of the stairs above just to check if he's to bump on anyone, but right after he looked at the end of the stairs... There's a headless person standing there. 

Jacob freaked out and instantly rushed downstairs, as he tries to run down he then saw another apparatus in appearance of a child with no limbs and eyeballs. He cannot go to the stairs anymore so he decided to run straight of the 3rd floor. He closed his eyes as he breathes hard to not lose the air in his lungs, and runs with all of his energy. He opened one of his eye to see if there's a wall, but instead it was another student running with every ounce of energy she had. Alice Crownels. Due to his fast momentum, Jacob weren't able to dodge Alice. The two slams at each other causing the two of them to hit the floor very hard.
