A few days had passed since Zayhr had come here. He fit in with us and soon grew to become a great friend. Yes, he stuttered, but none of us were normal either. I had continued to have a crush on him, and I think he had one on me because nearly every time I caught myself staring at him, I found him looking back.

That night, I had started drifting off to sleep after finding Bailey's teddy, when I heard someone talking. Sitting up in my bed, I looked over at Bailey but she was sound asleep. I listened closer, it was coming from Zayhr's room. He was muttering something, but he wasn't loud enough for me to make our what he was saying. Shrugging, I rolled over and was about to close my eyes when a cold breeze blew through the room. I got up to check the window, it was closed and there were no drafts coming through the frame. We didn't have a air conditioner, and I couldn't think of any other explanations to where it had come from. Getting back in bed, I pulled the covers over my head, ignoring the feeling that something was standing at the end of my bed.

The susunod araw I woke early, grabbed my paliguan bag and headed for the paliguan rooms before breakfast. I had just closed the door when I bumped into Zayhr. “G..good m..m..morning Le..Leena. D..did you have a g..good slee..sleep?” I shrugged, I had had an ok sleep with the breeze and his muttering. He had dark circles under his eyes and was paler then usual. I gave him a questioning look. “I d..didn't slee..sleep very w..well.” He was holding something back, but I didn't push him for details. I waved goodbye to him and headed to the showers. Once there, I turned the water on, the heat felt good. I lathered on my cinnamon scented wash, leaving a spicy scent in the air. I was enjoying my alone time, when I heard the bell. I had exactly five minutos before the paliguan room would be full of giggling girls and choking bulaklak scents. I rinsed off and grabbed my towel when Bailey walked in carrying her Winnie the Pooh towel and her tear-free shampoo. “Hiya Leena!” She was as cheery as ever. I waved then walked over to the stalls to change.

Breakfast came and went as uneventful as ever, apart from Frederik and his crew pretending to act all cool. I dropped all of our trays on the stack before finding Randy, Zayhr and Bailey in our usual place. “...and so they say this place is haunted.” Randy was obviously telling Zayhr about the legend. It says that the first doctor that worked here would always make sure that all the patients were in their rooms after light's out. If you were caught outside your room, he would take you to his office and do horrible things to you. Today, it's sinabi that he still patrols the halls after light's out, looking for his susunod victim. Nobody believed it, but then again, no one had ever tried to see if it was true sa pamamagitan ng staying out after 10:00pm. “So w..where is h..his office?” Zayhr asked. He seemed really interested in the whole haunting. “It's in the Hospital Wing, but we're forbidden from going there unless we have an appointment. No one has been in the office since the doctor died 23 years ago. Everything has been left the way if was when he died from unknown causes.” Randy answered.
