Golden-Brook High

Faith

Extremely confused, I study him more, "What? What did you see?" I ask, "Alot of things happened yesterday..."

Jason

I sigh, "The thing in the hallway. All of that."

Faith

I nod, "Oh...Don't tell anyone," I beg, "Please. I don't want anybody to know."

Jason

I flash a smile, "Relax. Alex made you a promise and I have no reason to break it for him."

Faith

I nod, "Thank you," I continue doodling before looking over at him, "Was...Was Alex's girlfriend's name, Marie?" I ask quietly.

Jason

I freeze at the name and scratch the back of my neck anxiously, "Yeah, why?"

Faith

I look at him, "She's...I don't know if this even makes sense, but, she's...in me. Like, I'm her host or something. She doesn't talk often, but, she's there. She's wanted to see Alex one more time before she leaves for good. Like, out of me."

Jason

I don't say anything right away, looking down at my scribbles from last week. Reading through them, I swallow and glance back at her, "Don't tell him that. Just let things happen. Don't explain it to him."

Faith

I nod, "I wasn't planning to."

Jason

I nod and close my notebook, class starting.

Faith

I start doodling again, stetching Alex's name without even knowing.

Jason

I pretend to be paying attention, but distantly think about something completely different instead.

Faith

The bell rings and I stand, yawning. I get a text ad check it, sighing as I walk out.

Jason

I head out and to my next class, flashing a smile at Lis before slipping back into my thoughts.

Faith

I start doodling again, annoyed at how boring school is and just want the class to end.
