Someone asking for help
A note in QL 737 .P96 F67 1983 p. 178Kim checked the book for a note at the library. There was no note, she checked the table near the window, and it was empty. She didn’t mind the unidentified guy anymore.
She heard Pie’s laughing at the station. She stood up and went to Pie.
“Good morning Pie.” Kim greeted in a sweet smile.
“Good morning Kim. Remember the party and that was tomorrow, don’t forget.”
“I’ll buy costume this afternoon.”
“Oh!” Looking at her watch. “I have to go back to my station. See you later Kim.”
Kim went back to her table again. There was the guy again sitting at the table.
“Excuse me, that table is taken.” Kim said.
The guy turned and looked at her and vanished into thin air. Kim was shocked, she can’t move. She wanted to scream but can’t. Then someone whispered at her right ear.
“Help me.”
She took her bag and ran downstairs. When she reached the first floor, Pie was busy scanning books at her station. Pie saw her at the door and waved at her. Instead to go to Pie, she just nodded and went outside.
Pie noticed there was something happened to Kim. She left her work and went outside looking for Kim.
“Kim!” Pie called.
Kim was catching her breath. She was sweating like a pig. “Nothing, Pie.”
“What happened to you? Tell me Kim.” She held Kim’s cheeks. “You’re cold, you look like you have seen a ghost.”
Kim still catching her breath. “There’s another guy like I told you before, he just disappeared in front of my eyes.”
“Let’s talk about this Kim. I have to get my things inside, wait me here.”
Kim nodded.
They went to the soccer field and seated at the benches.
“He whispered ‘Help me’ Pie. I think I should go back.” Kim said.
“No, Kim. Stay here. Catch your breath first and our class will start in five minutes.”
“Okay.” Kim nodded. “Of all the students, why me?”
“Maybe he believes in you, Kim. He believes you can help him.”
The bell rang. They stood up. Suddenly Kim’s vision went dark.
Kim woke up at the clinic. Aunt In was there talking on the phone. Pie was at the door looking at her.
“What happened?” Kim asked.
“You were fainted Kim.” Pie answered.
“We missed our class, Pie.”
“It’s okay Kim. The professor knew what happened.”
“You mom called Kim. She asked about you. She’ll send a car to pick us up.”
“What did you say?”
“I said that you’re okay.”
Kim nodded.
“The doctor said you can go home now. You need rest, Kim. You are excused for tomorrow’s classes.” Pie said.
The man in suit came in and asked Aunt In to pick up Kim. Pie helped Kim to stand, and guided her to the car.
“Take care, Kim.” Pie said and waved goodbye.
Kim can’t sleep. The image of the guy and the words he whispered won’t leave her mind. She stood up and went to the living room and TV.
Pie texted her, “Take a rest and don’t forget about tomorrow.”
The driver and Aunt In were talking in the kitchen. He called the driver and asked him to drive her to buy for costume.
