The hallway was quiet until the echoes of running footsteps were heard. A girl could be seen running down the hallway with no one chasing her. She kept on running till she got to a particular door. She opened it only to be met with murderous glares from the people inside. Soon the glare turned into Laughter. "Quiet everyone" Mr. Jones who happened to be the music lecturer said. "I'm so sorry I'm Late sir" Jewel Rise said immediately Mr. Jones faced her. "You're Late again. Do you have to be always late?" He said as Jewel fidgeted where she was standing. She prayed silently for him not to send her out of the hall as she was close to repeating that year if she failed her exams again. "And what is this you are wearing?" Mr. Jones asked. Again every one burst into laughter as Jewel checked herself. She Looked exactly like a clown. Her shirt was worn wrongly due to haste, she wore two different shoes entirely and one of the leg of the faded jean pants she was wearing was folded. The only thing she wore correctly was the yellow cap on her head she gulped nothing as she turned around heading towards her seat. "And where do you think you are going to looking like that" Mr. Jones said "My seat" Jewel said "OUTTTTTTTTTTTT" Mr Jones shouted ******* Meet Jewel Rise.

Chapter 1 Ghost
The sound of running water could be heard from the from the female restroom. Sound of silent sobs could also be heard. Jewel sniffed as she tried stopping the tears from escaping her eyes. Mondays are always MOURN DAYS. It hasn't even been up to 20 minutes since she arrived at school and she has become the school mockery. Why!! Why her. She dried her tears as she left the restroom
"Hey"
Jewel turned to see who called her
"What's your name again...um...is it...okay I remember now. Jewelry"
Jewel turned to see who called her and there they were. Natasha and her two minions, Sydney and Sheila. Natasha is a well known bully and everyone tries to avoid her. But for Jewel, even if she tries to avoid Natasha, she would come searching for her.
"You know, interupting an interesting music class is wrong, so why, just why would you do that" Natasha said
'I'm sorry. It's never gonna happen again" Jewel said as she fidgeted knowing doom was waiting for her
"Still, you need to be taught a lesson" Natasha said with a smirk on her face.
"Creep from the pillar to that post till your knee bleeds" Natasha said
"Why should I do that? I already apologized and..."
paaarh
Jewel didn't know when tears fell from her eyes.
Her cheek stung from the slap she just received.
"Do I need to repeat myself"
Jewel didn't think twice as she knelt down and started creeping. Fellow colleagues did nothing as they all feared Natasha. She wasn't the school's queen for nothing. Some videod Jewel and soon it was over the school's blog.
If only dina was here. Dina was Jewel's best friend. Dina would have stood up for her because her dad was the fourth investor in the school.
"Natty, Zach is here" Sydney said. A smile crept up Natasha lips as she rushed out to meet her boyfriend with her hand bags (Sydney and Sheila) following her forgetting about Jewel. With them gone, Jewel immediately stood up with shaky legs as she ran of the college.
***RISE'S MANSION***
📝JEWEL, I WON'T BE HOME TONIGHT
Jewel read as the dropped the paper. She rushed to her room as she cuddled herself in tears. It's been five years since she lost her dad and five years without a mom. And just like the past four years, Glenda (Mrs. Rise) her mom had forgotten about her birthday. Yes, that's right. It's her birthday, and she was punished by Natasha. Jewel looked at her already dressed wounds and cried more.
📳krrh....krrrhhh
Jewel's phone rang. She checked the caller and saw it was Dina. She immediately wiped up her tears and wore a fake smile.
📞DINA: Hey Doughnut head
Dina screamed as Jewel picked the call
📞JEWEL: I'm fine, what's up
📞DINA: Is everything okay
📞JEWEL: Yeah
📞DINA: But your voice is betraying you. Wait!!! don't tell me it was Natasha again. I sw**r I'mma rip her heart apart
📞JEWEL: No, No. It's not Natasha. I'mfine.
📞DINA: Are you sure? Anyways, Happy birthday. I called in the morning but your phone was off. I'm sorry I couldn't spend today with you. When I'm back, I'm going to make up for it, okay
📞JEWEL: Okay
📞DINA: Have a goodnight rest, doughnut head
📞 JEWEL: Goodnight
Jewel dropped her phone after hanging up. She got down from the bed and walked towards the living room. Her eyes caught sight of a box on the table.
*Was this here all this while* she thought as she opened it. She saw a note and a necklace in it. She picked the note and read
📝HERE IS TO MY GRANDDAUGHTER, JEWEL. IT'S YOUR TWENTIETH BIRTHDAY AND THIS IS MY GIFT TO YOU. PUT IT ON AND IF YOU ENCOUNTER ANYTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY LET ME KNOW. I LOVE YOU, MY PEANUT.
A small smile crept on Jewel's lips as she read the word PEANUT. Yeah, her family and bestie all gave her a nickname. She wore the necklace as she walked towards the freezers.
"Gosh!!! No soda???" She groaned as she walked out of the house with her purse it was a quiet night. Jewel walked out of the store as she dragged her leg along the road. Today was a bad day but tomorrow, she was gonna avoid Natasha like a plague. As she walked, she reminisced on her life. First, she lost her dad, then her mom left her, she became a shadow of herself and the worst of all was that her role model, the only one that brightened her day whenever she thought about him, went missing on her birthday. Today marks one year since his disappearen. Dina says Luke Anderson is dead but Jewel thinks otherwise. As she walked, she noticed a box in a trash can. She wanted to leave it but just couldn't. She walked towards it
*Who's journal is this and why does it have Luke's picture on it. I guess the owner was also a fan* Jewel thought as she picked it up and rushed home. The moment Jewel got home, she wasted no time as she opened the journal. She saw that they were songs that hadn't been recorded.
*Maybe is Luke's journal because the pattern of song writing is his, but what was it doing in a trashcan*
Jewel thought as the kept flipping through the pages. As Jewel flipped the next page, a memory card fell out. "Huh, what is this?" Jewel muttered as she inserted it into her phone. She notice that it had some of the music written in the Journal on it, so she played it.
🎶Underneath the moonlight🎶
🎶Heartbeat's racing🎶
🎶Racing for you...u...u🎶
🎶Just you eh....ehhh.....ehh🎶
The music was playing that Jewel could sweer she forgot her name --- lolz
But soon it turned from melody to noise.
sherr--- shrr-------
Jewel had to close her ear as she tried stopping the music when a sudden light appeared. Just immediately the light dissappearedand and the music stopped playing on it's own.
"What the h*ll just happened??" she cursed aloud as she opened her eyes to see something moving at the back of the cushion. She walked slowly towards it, but it beat her to it as a figure stood up. "Where am I?" he said and turned around to meet a pair of eyes that were about to fall of their sockets.
"Aaarrh" Jewel screamed and fainted
