Chapter 2 Eric Part 2

As I promised Sean, I will accompany him to go to the library this afternoon. That's why now I'm sitting in one of the chairs in the library. I was busy watching Sean who was doing his college assignments. Coincidentally, I didn't have any assignments and there weren't any books that made me interested in reading them because that's why all I've been doing since earlier is just staring at my boyfriend who looks frustrated with quite a lot of college assignments. Sean and I have been in this library for almost an hour. Seeing the look on his face, I felt sorry for him. I thought it wouldn't hurt if I helped out a bit.

“Sean, is there anything I can help you with?”

“Hn… there's no need. I can still do it myself,” he replied without looking at me, his gaze still focused on the books in front of him. It's like this, he always asks me to accompany him when he does his work without ever once accepting my kind offer to help him. If I look at the assignments, it seems that majoring in law is more difficult than the economics major I took. Yes, at least that's what I think if I see from the many tasks that Sean does almost every day. Not that I don't have duties, of course, I do too. But mine is not as much as Sean's college assignment.

"You have nothing to do, Leslie?" he asked which made me jerk from my reverie.

"Yes, but I did it last night. Today I happen to have no work.”

"It's delicious, you just make me jealous," he said with eyes that didn't even look at me. He was still busy looking at his books.

"There's still a lot of work?"

"Yes, and unfortunately it must be collected tomorrow."

“You, this is your fault. Already know that there are many tasks, why did you play basketball? You always care more about basketball than studying.”

Sean seemed annoyed by my words because now his gaze shifted to mine.

"That's not it, it was the economics faculty that challenged us to a match. There's no way we can refuse it."

“Yes, yes, it's up to you. I think you care about basketball anyway." He looked annoyed at me, I ignored him because I didn't think there was anything wrong with what I said. I've been dating him for a long time so I know quite well his personality he loves basketball so much.

"Wow, Leslie and Sean are here too, huh?" A voice sounded and succeeded in making me and Sean stare at the owner of the voice. A beautiful girl with only shoulder-length hair was standing beside us. She was holding several books in her hands. Sean and I know her very well. Her name was Muggie Maxwell. She's Sean's cousin and my best friend in college. I'm in the same faculty as her, and not only that she's even my roommate in the dormitory.

"What book is it?" I asked Muggie.

“Textbook, I'm studying for a quiz next week. Are you studying with Sean here too, Leslie?” she asked which I answered with a shake of my head.

"No, I'm accompanying this basketball maniac to do his work," I replied, staring at Sean lazily. Sean put on a strange face in my opinion and made me want to laugh at that. It was obvious he didn't like what I was saying.

"Hey, what do you mean basketball maniac?"

"You are a basketball maniac."

"Don't talk carelessly."

"That's the truth." I kept arguing with Sean without us noticing that Muggie was laughing at us.

“Hahahaha ... you guys are a unique couple, huh? I was surprised to see you too, Sean. You're usually cold and stiff but when you're with Leslie, you turn into someone else." A blush appeared on Sean's face. I feel what Muggie said is true, the first time I met him was at Grandes high school, he was indeed a bit stiff. He rarely talks and according to Angie, he is very cold to women. But I'm happy because now he is very open to me. Every time he had a problem he would tell me, of course, I did too.

"Don't say anything weird, Muggie," Sean said still a blush on his face.

"Oh yes. Sean, are the rumors true?”

"What rumors do you mean, Muggie?"

“Ghost rumors in the Men's Dorm.” I was very surprised to hear Muggie's words. Sean didn't even tell me about the rumors.

"What rumors are there?" I asked Muggie.

"So Sean didn't tell you?" Once again I answered her question with a shake of the head.

“Hmmm ... sorry Leslie, I don't know about those rumors either. You better ask Sean. Oh yes. Sorry, I'm back at my desk first. Leyna must be waiting for me.” Without waiting for my approval, Muggie just left. I also looked sharply at Sean asking for an explanation.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Why didn't you tell me about the ghost rumor?"

"If I tell you, you must want to involve yourself with the ghost," he replied lazily.

“Huh? At that time you said you could accept this ability of mine. But what you said just now seems like you still haven't accepted my abilities?” I'm really mad at Sean.

"It is not like that."

"Then tell me, what rumors are there in the men's dormitory?" Sean put on a lazy face, it was clear he didn't want to tell me at all. But I kept staring intently at him until he finally let out a rough breath. Looks like he gave up and is going to tell me.

“There is a room that is always locked and empty. That the room should not be occupied because there had been a student who committed suicide there. Everyone believes the ghost is haunted."

"Why would they think the ghost is wandering?" I asked enthusiastically, while Sean still had a lazy face.

“Often heard the sound of crying in the room. Besides, some of the people who used to occupy that room are always possessed.”

"Oh, I see? Why did that student kill himself?”

“Well… how do we know. After all, that incident was a long time ago around 3 or 4 years ago.” I was silent and Sean looked back at his books.

"There must be a reason that makes the ghost wander."

"Possible. Come on, it's none of our business." Sean's words pissed me off. How could he possibly speak so lightly? He didn't care at all, and I… of course, I did because I could communicate with the ghost. I had promised Angie to use my skills to the best of my ability. So how could I not care?

"Sean, come with me later, okay? I want to investigate why the ghost is haunting.” Sean's eyes widened perfectly, it was clear he was very surprised to hear what I said.

“I knew you would say that. That's why I didn't tell you."

"It turns out you really can't accept my ability, huh?"

"It is not like that. The problem is the ghost is in the men's dormitory. There's no way I'm taking you to the boys' dormitory!” Sean must be annoyed with me, you can hear from the tone of his voice that snaps at me a little.

"So what? I, right, just want to investigate the ghost. After all, how come there are so many male students who go to the women's dormitory to do their assignments," I answered while giving a grin.

"Yes, that's because they are working on group assignments and have already reported this to the dormitory guard. Well, you, what do you want to report? There's no way you're reporting for permission to investigate ghosts. After all, you're my girlfriend, I don't want other people to think bad things about us.” I agree with what Sean said but still, I want to help the ghost. I felt I shouldn't stay silent when I could help him return to his realm.

“Sean, I beg you. Let me think about the reasons. Accompany me, okay?"

“But now there is no Angie. Are you sure you can do it alone?"

"I am not alone. I'm with you, Sean. The two of us will help the ghost. I'm begging you, Sean." I put my hands together indicating that I was begging him to grant me this wish. Sean just stared at me silently, then he exhaled lazily. I knew if he had shown that expression, he would have given up and would have granted my wish.

"Okay, next Sunday we will investigate the ghost. But you were the one who thought of an excuse when you reported to the dormitory guards.”

"Ready. Leave that matter to me.”

"Now shut up, let me do my college assignments in peace," I responded with a nod and a smile. I'm very happy because Sean wants to grant my request. I've decided, I'm going to find out why the ghost in that room has become a haunting ghost.
