I stared at the ground, waiting. I could hear him breathing a bit faster than normal, obviously stunned. "But... why?" He blurted out. I was afraid to look up, but finally got the courage to do so. The look on his face hurt me more than anything else I could ever imagine.
He looked at me with interest. I could feel my heart beat faster. I just wanted to go out and have a good time, not deal with this. I pretended to read a text from someone so I looked busy, but I didn't miss him slowly inch closer and closer to me. I tried my hardest to keep from shaking.
Ugh, not now. All I wanted to do was finish my homework, not deal with the presence of a ghost in my dorm. I tried to shake off the dizzy feeling, the same one I always got when there was a ghost around. The worst part was that my roommate had no idea. I glanced over in the direction I thought the ghost was, and cleared my throat, hoping the ghost could pick up on the annoyed undertones it held. My roommate gave me a curious look, and I just sighed to myself, still trying to block out the dizziness.
I froze. I regretted doing this, doing any of it. I watched as the bull charged towards me, and I had nowhere to go. I broke out of my shocked trance and tried to look around, but I was backed up against the wall. This is not good.
The entrance looked cold and lonely, the bare white walls surrounding the metal door frame. I sighed and stepped forward, knowing that I had to eventually make it through that door, the one that could lead to the end of me.
I sat down and put on music. Maybe the noise would help me bury the thoughts going through my head. I turned up the volume to a near-deafening level, and it seemed to help, at least a little bit.
The uppercase letters seemed to be shouting at me, despite the nonthreatening message it spelled out. "I LOVE YOU TOO". I scrolled down to try and escape the blaring words, hoping to find something with correct punctuation. On facebook however, these chances were slim to none.
