Mal?

They entered the brightly lit school grounds and Mal seem to following her.

“What are you doing here?”

“Go to your class.” Thea said turning away and continue walking and Mal was still walking with her.

 As she left and entering her classroom she saw Mal enter the class right next to her’s.

“His class is right next to mine?”

“ So he was going to his class.”

“I feel bad now. ”

“I must apologize to him when I see him again” She thought.

“Morning, miss." She said as she walked to her seat. She answered with ‘Morning’ in a gentle way and then began with the lesson. She could feel the glares and talking under the squeaking of the marker being dragged across the board.

At break, when she was leaving the class, she saw Mal again waiting on her.

“ Don't you have anything better to do?” Thea asked as she walked to the library.

“This is the best thing I could do. ”

“ Anyways, why are we going to the library? ” Mal asked as he followed Thea.

“ It's none of your business, is it?” Thea said,  turning sideways to Mal to see his expression on his face.

She was sure that he would give up but he just replied with,“ Well, it is now, plus you can't get rid of me that easily.”

She was surprised yet again by his answer and in defeat, she decided to let him follow her.

After a while, they arrived to the library and went in. Thea went to one of the shelves, not to look for a book but to listen to conversations. Back in her old school even though you are not supposed to talk, the library was the place with the most gossip.

There were a lot of people there as she suspected. She listened to a conversation close by between two people .

“ Did you hear? ”

“ A student from class 3.4 was brutally murdered in the back of the school.” The girl said softly.

Thea had a feeling that someone was behind her and spun around quickly to see Mal standing right behind her staring at her. “ Boo” he said softly expecting her to be scared but she just looked at him and asked, “ Are you done?”

“Yeah. Anyway,...umm can we leave now? I don't like crowded places.” He said as he looked at me.

He had a strange feeling almost like blow to the head and his nose bleed.

“Are you alright? Mal?” Thea asked.

He stayed silent and his eyes were blank before falling on the ground with him nose still bleeding.

“ Help!” Thea yelled loudly.

A librarian rushed to where they were and then asked what happened.

“He just said he didn't like crowded places and then his nose began to bleed.” I said as a crowd started to form around him.

“ Is there anyone who can help this girl take him to the Infirmary?” The librarian asked.

This is when it was finally silent in the library.
