Lucas Part 1

After Muggie showed the tape to everyone and thanks to Nina and Mai's testimony, my friends' suspicions about me finally disappeared. They no longer think you should accuse me of being a thief or liar. They even took turns apologizing to me. However, ever since that incident, I felt their gazes toward me slightly differed. Maybe they think I am a strange girl because I can see and communicate with ghosts. But I don't mind it as long as they don't stay away from me and still want to be friends. I've also contacted Angie and told her about my success in calming Marie's spirit. She even prided herself when I told her her thinking was spot on. I got another reality when I told Angie about my conversation with Marie's spirit. I told Angie about the strangeness that I felt. All this time, I knew the problem ghosts were in because they showed me their memories. I have yet to speak to them as far as I can remember. It was very different from what happened between me and Marie. I asked Angie why I could talk directly to Marie. According to Angie, as time went on and the more experience I had with dealing with ghosts, it made me stronger. One of the proofs is that I can talk directly to ghosts. Yes, I did it, even if it's just with Marie's spirit. The incident of Marie's ghost had passed almost a week ago. We have all finished our semester exams. According to the original plan, I, Muggie, Nina, Mai, and even Leyna had gone to Marie's house to make a pilgrimage to her grave. Not long after we were at Marie's grave, we returned to the dormitory and prepared ourselves because we would have a long semester break starting tomorrow. That's what I'm doing now. I'm preparing whatever items I will bring home. I can't wait to enjoy this long vacation. Muggie and Leyna were doing the same thing with me. The three of us packed our stuff without the slightest conversation between us. "Muggie, where are you planning to go on holiday? Are you going to visit your parents?" Leyna asked, starting the conversation. "Of course, I miss my parents. I haven't seen them in a long time," replied Muggie. Muggie's parents don't live in this town anymore. It's been almost a year since they moved to another city. However, Muggie insisted on living in this town even though she had to live alone in her house. Luckily, her home is close to Sean's house, so she doesn't feel lonely because she often visits Sean's house. Yes, I know this because Muggie told me about it. "Leslie, you already have plans to spend your vacation?" Muggie asked me, which made me snap out of my reverie. "I don't know, but maybe I'll spend time with my parents," I answered soberly. I had no plans, even though I had considered visiting Angie's house. "You're not planning on going on vacation with Sean?" Muggie asked again, which made my eyes widen perfectly. On vacation with Sean, I haven't even seen him since that incident in his room. I'm still very annoyed with him, and my preoccupation with semester exams these few days made me able to forget about him for a moment. Muggie's earlier question made me think back to my problem with Sean, even though I originally planned to ignore it until he came to see me and explained everything to me. "There's no way he's going on vacation with Sean because Sean will be going on vacation with me," Leyna said, which took me by surprise. What does she mean? "Huh? What do you mean, Leyna?" Luckily, Muggie asked a question that barely escaped my mouth. "My dad just bought a new mansion and I'm planning a vacation there with Sean," she replied haughtily. "Ha ha ha." I laughed out loud. For some reason, hearing Leyna's words earlier made me want to laugh. "Why are you laughing, Leslie?!" Leyna asked with a slight snap. "You think Sean wants to go with you? If you look at Sean's cold nature towards women, I think he will flatly reject your invitation. So I suggest you discourage your intentions rather than hurting yourself to hear what he said later," I said, trying to advise her, even though I was very annoyed to hear of her crazy plan. "I'm sorry, princess. I took Sean and you want to know what he said?" A mocking smile appeared on her face, making me feel bad feeling all of a sudden. "He said he would be happy to take a vacation with me in our family's new Mansion. So what I said earlier was not just a plan but it will happen soon. Hmm, that's actually what happened. Ha ha ha." The sound of her laughter made anger build up inside of me. Did Sean accept her invitation? I can't believe this. "And you need to know, Leslie, Sean has never been cold to me, but on the contrary, he has always been warm and gentle to me. Haven't you seen it with your own eyes?" she said again, turning this anger into disgust. I'm sick of lingering in the same room with Leyna. "Keep your mouth shut, Leyna. You are terrible. How could you have the heart to steal your best friend's boyfriend?" Of course, it was Muggie who said this because I did not want to say anything right now. "Snatching a best friend's boyfriend? Hah, What kind of nonsense is that? I've never stolen anyone's boyfriend, that's the woman who stole Sean from me. You know how I feel about Sean, don't you, Muggie? You know very well since junior high school I've loved him and I've chased him. Then, it was because I was in a different school when I was in senior high school with Sean that that woman took him away from me. I never took Sean from her, but I just took back something that was rightfully mine!!" she shouted. I was just stunned to hear her words. How big is Leyna's love for Sean? I could feel her hatred for me just by hearing the tone of her voice. "You and Sean never dated in the first place. He always turns you down." Muggie's words put me at ease a bit. At least I can get rid of the guilt I had felt earlier. If you think about it, I can understand Leyna's feelings. The hatred she felt for me because I was in a relationship with the man she loved for a long time. I can understand it. "But now he won't reject me anymore. Now Sean realized that he had made a big mistake all along by rejecting me. He told me he was fed up with Leslie." "There's no way Sean said that," I finally spoke up. "If you don't believe me, you can ask him directly. Sooner or later, he will break up with you and date me." I can already guess this. I've even tried to prepare my heart to accept this separation. But hearing it from Leyna's mouth and imagining Sean was dating Leyna, I imagined Sean would never accompany me again. I don't know, I feel very sick here, in my heart. I don't know when, but this feeling of love is much bigger than before. I can't deny it. I don't want to lose him, and I don't want my position in his heart to be replaced by another woman. How stupid I am, even though it is clear that my love is only one-sided. Sean didn't love me anymore, and separation was the best way.
