...the girl at the 6th floor...

She was just sitting there. People passing her by yet she seemed so absorbed, staring blankly at the wall. As if she did not notice the guys looking at her as they passed by. Not even her professor who asked if she was alright. She just kept staring blankly… seemingly unfeeling. From a distance, i looked at her. Who is this girl who seemed so lost in her own world? Why do tears run down her cheeks so freely? And then, she wiped them. As if waking up from a trance she stood up, looked around and stared at me. I looked away. I didn’t want to seem so rude to be staring at her crying face. When i looked again, she was gone. I dismissed that scene from my mind. The day went fine. I went from one class to the next forgetting about the girl in the hallway. It was already dark when i decided to leave school for home. As i moved to leave the students' lounge, i heard someone crying. I listened again and there was only silence. I went around the corridor opening every classroom door. In the last room, i pushed the door. It was dark. I flicked on the lights and to my horror, there was a girl hanging lifeless at the far end of the room. One end of the rope was tied around her neck and the other end was tied on a ceiling pipe. She was just hanging there… her bloodshut eyes were wide open… Color has left her face, her wrists were bleeding, her cheeks streaked with tears. At that moment, i didn’t know what to do. My knees became weak. I slumped down, staring at her at the lifeless body hanging there. Tears started to trickle from my eyes and then… i screamed… I got up, run down the stairs. From the 6th floor, i got to the 5th floor… i kept running down the stairs and reached the 4th floor… already weak and tired… i was still screaming… i kept running til i noticed i was back at the 6th floor… i ran down again and once i reached the third floor, i would notice that i was back at the 6th floor. It was then that i realized,…i was only dreaming…. hahaha!.. i woke up with my heart racing so fast… t’was a freaky dream… haha…. but i can’t quite forget the girl’s face though…
