Next day , as the teacher tells us the horrible news , i feel my blood drain from my face . Agatha was reported missing yesterday . I looked at Luke instantly . He seemed shocked just like everyone . I couldn't stand it . He really IS behind everything .

" does anyone know anything or where he was last time ? " asks the teacher .

I look at Luke expecting him to say something like last time . But he dosent. He remains silent which increases my frustration.

" why isnt Luke saying anything ? " Emily whispers to me

" hes gonna get away with it " says sasha , worriedly

" ok , if thats all lets begin " the teacher says

" WHY WONT YOU SAY IT!? " i yell at Luke ignoring the stares of everyone and the sudden silence .

" say what ? " he says . I hate that innocent look

" AGATHA WAS AT YOUR HOUSE! WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY THAT!? WHAT ARE YOU HIDING! "

" Jess , just calm down " Anthony tries to hold me down as i walk towards Luke .

" my house ? No she wasent " luke says

" LIAR! i saw you both yesterday! I saw her go into your house " i yell .

Then Beth get up and says " Jess , i saw Agatha get on the bus yesterday " everyone stares at me . I feel suffocated.

" jess.." Anthony begins go say

" no your lieing! I saw them both together "

Beth just sighs " no jess . I literally saw her while i was in my car " . I feel more suffocated . I know what they are about to say and i hate it

" jess " the teacher begins " have...you been taking your medication? "

I remain quiet . Anger boiling inside me .

" i dont think she have " says Anthony

Luke looks around confused. Of course nobody told him before .

" i saw her talking to ' them ' again " says Beth .

Just then i see that worm thing on lukes neck and my eyes widen

" LOOK! look at that , on his neck! I've been noticing it since he first arrived! That worm thing! Look! " i loose myself from Anthony's grip and run towards Luke . He looks startled and scared . As im about to grab his neck Anthony and Beth both grab hold of me .

" get ahold of yourself Jess! Theres nothing there! Your hallucinating again! " yells Beth . No its not true . Its NOT a hallucination and i DONT need medication . Im NOT schizophrenic. Why wont anyone understand!

" they dont understand you " whispers sasha

" they dont get it . There all fools " says Emily .

" your right...there all fools! " i yell .

" jess stop it! Who are you talking to? You really haven't been taking your meds and you haven't been going to the doctor have you ? " the teacher says . He looks tense . Right now...i dont care . I dont care what rubbish they say . I dont care about anything . All i wanna know , how is Luke behind all of this . I saw him with Agatha yesterday . I know it....but wait...i wasent confirmed it WAS agatha . I KNOW it was her! Right!?

" let go of me! Let go! I'll find out what you did Luke! Just you wait! I'll EXPOSE everything " i shouted and slowly whatever i said next were mixed words until i fell unconscious .

As i open my eyes and try to adjust them to the brightness , i realise im in my room . Mom's sitting on a chair reading a book . When she sees I've woken up , she closes it and gets up

" so you've been lieing to me " her expression is a mix of frustration and sadness . I say nothing , just look away .

" i asked you if you took your medicines and you said yes . I asked you if you go tho your appointments and you said yes . "

" mom...i dont need all that . Im fine" i finally say

She slams her book on the table " NO YOUR NOT! why dont you understand! You have a problem! Stop denying it! denying it wont help you get better . Your health is not worth your social life "

I just keep quiet . I know im fine but deep down i know I'm just telling myself that and ignoring reality. I wanna be normal . I dont want to face facts.....i cant handle it . Taking medication and all that stuff just makes me feel pathetic....

Mom calms down for abit and regains her composure " you wont be going to high school for afew days . " and begins to leave the room

" Mom! No! Please , im fine " i cant let this happen . mom is always so persistent and careful . At first only the teachers knew , then later Everyone knew i was schizophrenic but i never gave them a chance to see me as an abnormal person . I blended in with everyone perfectly. I was just another normal girl . Slowly everyone had even forgotten what i was .

" i wont allow you until you get better and start taking this seriously! " and then she leaves me to my own thoughts .

" who cares what she says " says Emily

" run away " says sasha

I close my ears . Was...i hallucinating this whole time ? I was so sure what i saw inside luke were real . I even felt it when i shook his hand . Its real right ? I really want answers . I need to confirm for myself if my friend's disappearance has something to do with Luke . I dont trust him . I'll go mad if i dont find out the truth!

I look out my window . Its night . Guess i was sleeping for a long time . I gaze at the silver moon shining in the dark sky . Children's voices catches my attention and i look down . Infront of our apartment , i see 3 kids playing with toy swords . I watch them play until suddenly , one of the kid lays down on the ground and starts slithering . He keeps doing it till his body becomes a pitch black worm . I close my eyes . Telling myself its nothing . When i open them , its all back to normal . I close the window and pull my blanket over my head . I need to keep it together if i wanna find out the truth . I know luke is somehow behind all this and i wont stop.
