WHAT HAPPENED TO REBECCA Episode 9 by RUTHIE LEE

Drenched by the rain and still getting drenched by the rain.
Mark and Rebecca walked in front Rebecca’s house the rain getting heavier than ever.

“Okay goodnight! Don’t think about anything okay, everything is going to be okay” Mark yelled over the pouring rain.
“okay…” Rebecca replied but she barely heard her voice.
“Okay… Goodbye” Mark said, fighting the urge to give her a hug cause he felt like she really needed it.
She looked lost,
“B..bye..” As Rebecca slowly waved, Mark sighed and gave her hug.
“It’s really okay Rebecca!” he said closer to her ear.
She really did needed that hug.

“Thanks.” Rebecca sighed but he barely heard it as he let’s go of her and starts to walk under the rain to his house.
. : .
Rebecca walked into the living room, Wet and cold, she saw her family in the living room all having a wonderful time and conversation without her.
Taylor and Steven snuggled up in each other’s body a blanket placed over their bodies and hot tea in their hand.
Vera lying on the couch with her phone to her face, and Helen reading a story book on the rugged floor with doughnuts and tea in front of her.
.
“Oh you’re back!” Taylor said standing up.
“Yeah” Rebecca’s voice was low and the loud thunder made everyone shudder.
“Oh you’re soaked, second day of school and you’re already getting detention, bravo sis” Vera smiled raising her head up to look at Rebecca who looked lost.
Rebecca ignored what Vera had said and slowly walked to her room, she had better things to think of.
As Rebecca closed the door to her room, she turned on the light that suddenly brightened the room. She glanced at the wadrobe and sighed.
She dropped her wet backpack pulled out her books and placed it in front of the standing fan beside her bed.
Rebecca moved to her bathroom and stripped off all of her wet clothes and as she climbed Into the bathtub she felt someone behind her, but when she turned she saw no one, the sound of the rain became heavier and the sound of unstoppable thunder grumbled in the sky, making Rebecca shivered in fear as she tried to be calm under the warm water.
She couldn’t be calm, not tonight, not when she heard what happened to Mark’s sister, not what has been happening to her… Everything felt so unreal but at the same time real, she wanted to cry, but she was too weak to cry.

Rebecca felt her all the hairs on her body stand, when she felt a hand on her back, moving from her lower back to her neck, as Rebecca shook in fear, she slowly turned and slowly saw a naked girl behind her holding ‘a white familiar Teddy bear’, Rebecca screamed louder than the rain trying to run out of bathtub when she slipped, falling and hitting her head on the edge of the tub.
Her head throbbed, her sight doubled and her head spinned, she couldn’t see clearly but when she saw the figure in front of her again, she screamed.

Vera who had became suspicious the moment Rebecca walked into the living room, had walked into Rebecca’s room to Check on her, when she heard a loud scream coming from inside Rebecca’s bathroom and she quickly found her legs running into the bathroom.
She found no one in the bathroom but when she turned to the bathtub she saw a hand holding the edge of the tub and she quickly ran towards the bathtub to see Rebecca lying naked on the floor of the tub, horror written on her face as her eyes were shut and as she screamed for help.

“Becca…!” Vera touched her sister making Rebecca screamed even more.
“Becca it’s me!” Vera said getting scared by the way her sister was, holding her cheeks and bringing her up slowly.
Rebecca slowly opened her eyes to see Vera and immediately hugged her neck almost crushing her neck.
Rebecca lets out a loud cry that made Vera scared.

”what’s wrong” Vera asked, almost crying too.

Instead of replying Rebecca cried even more, making Vera pat her back.
Vera slowly pulled away from Rebecca and watched as her sister shivered in fear, “c’mon get up” Vera said as she held Rebecca’ s shoulder and helped her up, she grabbed one of Rebecca’s towel and wrapped it around her body, and walking Rebecca out of the bathtub and Into her bedroom.
,
Vera sat Rebecca down on her bed, her body still shaking from fear and cold, and her hair glued to her face and her body…
“Okay do you want to talk about what just happened?” Vera asked, looking around Rebecca’s room.
“I saw a girl…” Rebecca started. “In… the bathtub”.

“A girl!” Vera arched a brow, “What did she Look like?” Vera pressured her voice a bit shaky.

“She had… S..she..Had no face her hair covered.. H..her.. Face.. “. Rebecca stuttered trying to make her voice come in one piece.
“And I felt her hand on… On..my back.. Rebecca burst into tears saying the last part. Vera pulled her sister in another hug trying to be strong, trying to be the older one here, trying to hold back the way her eyes had gone hot and

“Okay… Don’t you think we should tell mom and Dad things are really getting out of hand.” vera said.
“I don’t know do you think they’d believe us? I really don’t know… Do You… Even believe… I probably sound like a lunatic… A five year old scared to be all alone”. Rebecca cried.
“Of course I believed you, I’ve always believed you!” Vera said meaning every word she said, she had always believed Rebecca, And why wouldn’t she now when she saw her sister in the worst state, screaming at the top of her lungs, naked, helpless, horror on every corner of her face, tears cascading down her eyes.
“I don’t even know what to do anymore…” Rebecca cried.
“C’mon of course you know what to do. And what you need now is sleep.” vera said making Rebecca look up at her.
“And don’t worry you’ll be staying with me” Vera said quickly wiping the little tear wanting to crawl out of her right eye.
Vera opened the doors of the wadrobe in Rebecca’s room, and Rebecca shivered as she watched her sister take out her pajamas.
“it all started from here didn’t it?” Vera asked Rebecca referring to the wadrobe.
Rebecca slowly nodded.
“Then it’s going to end here, cause I stand any stupid wadrobe or what the hell spirit, come and torment my sister when I’m alive”. Vera said boldly, and thunder suddenly roared loudly in the sky, adding a dramatic effect.

“Here put this on!” Vera said as she handed Rebecca the pajamas and Rebecca quickly starts to put it on.
Vera angrily slammed the door to the wadrobe making the wadrobe move back a bit.
“See I told you it was moveable” Vera smirked, as she opened the door and slammed it again making one of the door creek and loose it place falling to Vera’s feet.
“Oops I totally did that on purpose now let’s see who this ‘girl’ is going to come to know.” Vera said grabbed her sister’s hand and they both walked out of her room.
Their parents and Helen had evacuate the living room, and as they both got to Vera’s room, the rain became more heavier.
.
Vera pulled her sister on her bed and covered both of their bodies with her thick blankets.
“it’s gonna be okay now Becca” vera touched her sister’s face.
“i hope so.” Rebecca sighed heavily moving closer to her sister and burying her face in Vera’s neck holding her body tighter than ever.
Vera could feel her sister’s fear, her sister pain, and she was really ready to catch that wardrobe spirit or whatever Rebecca called it.

“Do you want to tell me now, how the girl looked and why she touched you?” Vera asked.
Rebecca moved back from her sister and gazed at her sister’s necklace before saying.
“You know Mark I told you about” Rebecca asked.
“Yeah” Vera replied happily, thankful that her sister is willing to talk.
Rebecca swallowed the big lump in her throat and started. “He had a sister… Who’s dead now”

“Oh… I didn’t know” Vera said lowly.
“Do you know how she died?” Rebecca asked looking up at her sister, her eyes getting wet.
“How?” Vera asked.
“She was possessed and whatever might have possessed her made her jump from a ferris-wheel” Rebecca continued making Vera gasp.
“And… I.. I feel like I’m next cause…
“No Becca… You’re not next. Don’t say that tomorrow is going to be a good day, now just close your eyes and let sleep tak you” Vera said and Rebecca sighed saying no more.
Vera slowly pat Rebecca, till she got herself sleepy and so did Rebecca and they both fell asleep.
.
It was 2:am, the Adam’s house was quiet only the sound of the pouring rain from outside could be heard, everyone was fast asleep and the rain became even more heavier.

Rebecca tossed and turned feeling uncomfortable in her sleep,and all of a sudden she sat up, and slowly came down from the bed, her eyes were closed as she walked out of the room, someone would she was sleep walking.
She slowly made it passed the living room and into her room, She slowly closed the door, locked it and went to lie on her bed, sleep walking isn’t really friendly.
Rebecca suddenly woke up and almost nose bled when she saw herself in her room,
‘How did I get in here’ Rebecca thought, Rebecca is not a person who sonmabulates, so the idea of sleep walking here didn’t occur to her.
Rebecca quickly got up from her bed and ran to the door, she tried to open the door but it wouldn’t open, she unlocked the bolt she had locked while sleep walking but still the door wouldn’t open.
She angrily pull the door knob until it fell and shattered to the floor.
‘no no.. What is happening’ Rebecca thought as she picked up the broken knob and try to fix it back but it was hopeless.
Rebecca breathing hitched when she saw that the lights in her room had start to flicker,
‘No not again.’ Rebecca breathed her eyes gathering tears.
Thunder roared angrily in the sky making Rebecca even more scared she started to scream this time for help knowing something weird was about to happen but the rain and thunder storms were louder than her voice.

“Rebecca!” Rebecca heard her name and she screamed.
“Rebecca” Rebecca heard again but she shook her head covering her ears.
‘it’s not real’ she tried to tell herself, but still with her hand over her ears Rebecca could hear the voice.
She didn’t want to turn cause the voice sounded so near and it was like the person was close by, tears was at every coners of her face as she heard the calm voice call again.
“Rebecca!”.
She Rebecca quickly turned, trying to face her fears, but the fear heightened when she saw the girl she had seen few hours ago, but not naked this time, she was wearing the same clothes as Rebecca and she held that Teddy bear Rebecca had found in the wadrobe.

“Who… Who.. Are you?” Rebecca voice trembled.

The girl’s hair was all over her face and as she slowly raised her head, Rebecca saw one of her eyes, they were plain grey and had no sign of life.

“Delilah!” The girl replied her voice call but frightening, Rebecca shivered even more not knowing what to do, her head was trying to understand what was happening, she was talking to a non-human being, who seemed more like a blood thirsty looking creature.

“What… Do you want with me?” Rebecca’s tears fall from her eyes, The girl did not reply Rebecca, instead she starts to move closer to Rebecca…
Rebecca starts to move back too but when her back and her closed door collided she knew there was nowhere to run to.
“I said what do you want?” Rebecca yelled.

The girl stopped. “I want you”
And then continued walking.

“Me?” Rebecca breathed, glancing at her open bathroom door. She wanted to run there but as soon as she set her legs forward, she felt a hand on her wrist and she suddenly couldn’t move, the girl’s hand was cold and it felt like she was doing something to her cause she couldn’t move.
“Let go of me!” Rebecca yelled with all her might.

“Don’t scream it will all be over before you know it” The girl said and she raised her head up properly for Rebecca to see her lifeless and pale face…

“Get away from me” Rebecca screamed but the girl’s broken and pale lips creeped up into a smile, showing no teeth but green particles inside her mouth.

“Your sister ruined my home” the girl said and glanced at wadrobe and the door Vera broke from the wadrobe.
“What sister Get away from me this instant!” Rebecca screamed louder still stuck.

“I guess we’re doing this the hard way then!” The girl said and immediately everything went blank for Rebecca and her body fell lifelessly to the ground.
~

Vera woke up to the sound of her mother’s voice scolding Helen from downstairs.
A Ray of sun shone on Vera’s face and she came down from her bed, moved to the window and opened the curtain letting all the sun get in, though it rained pretty hard yesterday the sun still shone like nothing happened, but the whether remained cold.
Vera turned to her bed to see Rebecca fast asleep, she smiled and walked up to her bed, she leaned closer to Rebecca and bent closer to her ear about to Whisper her name but surprisingly Rebecca said.
“Don’t do that I’m already awake.”.
Vera quickly moved back.
“Whoa you scared me”. Vera giggled.

“Well you always scare me now it’s my turn, mom’s voice already woke me up.” Rebecca said sitting up and stretching her hands.
“Well you have to get ready for school you know” Vera said.
“yeah” Rebecca yawned looking a little pale and Vera noticed.

“You look pale, hope you didn’t think about last night afterwards and cried your eyes out, cause if anything happens just know I’m here and I’m willing to share my room”. Vera said calmly.

Rebecca rolled her eyes with a small smile. “Thanks sis. I’m fine and I think I’ll be sleeping in my room back from now on”

“Really? Are you sure?” Vera asked surprised by her sister’s words.

“Yeah you’ve done enough for me and forget about last night I’m ready to face my fears now” Rebecca smiled widely revealing her dimples.

“Ok..okay” Vera said still stunned.

Rebecca walked downstairs as she spotted her mom, Dad and Helen at the dining table and smiled at them.

“Good morning family!” she shouted happily before walking into her room.

“Huh? She seems weirdly happy today!” Taylor said.
“Yeah and that is something we don’t see everyday” Steven replied as he gave his wife a surprised look.

Rebecca glanced around her room as her smile beamed even more she opened her wadrobe and glance at the spoilt door.

“Oh well I’ll just fix you later, first let’s find something to wear to school” Rebecca grinned as she rummage through the wadrobe.
After finding an outfit to her taste she left for the bathroom to take a shower, after taking her bath
she brushed her teeth, while brushing her teeth Rebecca rinsed her mouth and looked at her reflection in the mirror.

“Becca’s beautiful… but I’ll make her more prettier” Rebecca said touching her face.
“Oh and she looks so pale now, because of me!” Rebecca said with a sigh.
.
Rebecca got dressed for school and she took out a box from the wadrobe that didn’t look like something Rebecca would have.
It was filled with jewelries, bows, and lipsticks.
She put on a pair of pink earrings, A black choker that hugged her neck tightly that would feel really uncomfortable for a normal person but Rebecca felt comfortable. Rebecca slipped on a pair of pink sandals that went with her black short skirt and pink top, she added two pink bowties to her two ponytails, and she loved how she looked when she looked in the mirror letting her smile.
Rebecca carried her backpack and walked into the living room seeing her whole family around the dining table she joined them.

“Wow… You feeling okay?” Vera asked Rebecca.
“Why would you ask that?” Rebecca retorted.
“Cause you dressed up like someone who came out of a dollhouse”. Vera said.
“And how is that any of your business Vera?” Rebecca rolled her eyes taking Vera off guard.
And Vera thought she and her sister were finally bonding and ending their nonstop bickering but looks like Rebecca’s been better to start the childish hate again.

“Oh well sorry to be all up in your business Becca, I guess you’re fine now since you are being all bitchy, don’t ask for my help again and don’t bother having a sleepover in my room either” Vera said angrily.

“I wouldn’t make such a foolish mistake again, now would I?” Rebecca smirked and Vera suddenly saw something her eyes, something she couldn’t understand,
That wasn’t the eyes of her sister.

“Okay you two what are you talking about now?” Taylor asked sitting down.

“Oh nothing mummy… Just about some stuff” Rebecca smiled.

“Mummy?.. Since when did you leave mom and start calling me that” Taylor smiled moving some strands of Rebecca’s hair back.

“You don’t like it?” Rebecca asked.

“You know I don’t… It Makes me feel old”. Taylor added turning to her food.

“Well sorry..” Rebecca said turning to her food and her eyes suddenly saw Vera’s eyes on hers.
Rebecca rolled her eyes while Vera looked away feeling a bit off.

That wasn’t her sister.

Okay sweeties take care!” Taylor yelled from the door waving to her Rebecca and Helen as they both found their legs heading to school.
.
“Why are you dressed like this?” Helen asked as she and Rebecca walked to school.
“Shut up and mind your business” Rebecca snapped freaking Helen out.

“Okay just know you look your worst and you look like my age” Helen said.

“You wish, you looked prettier than your age” Rebecca rolled her eyes.
.
“Rebecca!!” Rebecca and Helen suddenly heard someone called, Helen looked back but Rebecca kept walking.

“Becca!” Helen called trying to make her sister know she’s being called from behind.
But Rebecca kept walking.
“Becca!” Helen called again touching Rebecca and Rebecca looked down at her..

“What?” Rebecca asked.
“I’ve been calling you but you were ignoring” Helen replied angrily.
“Did you? I didn’t hear!” Rebecca said.

“I’ve been calling Becca now but you ignored me you were just two feet away from me how could you not hear?” Helen stated.

“Oh right… Rebecca that’s my name… Yeah… I forgot” Rebecca giggled nervously.

“How could you forget your name. You’re acting weird, look he’s caling you” Helen said and pointed to Zane who was running up to them and angrily walked away.

Rebecca stopped and waited for Zane to catch up to her and when he did he was already out of breath due to running.

“Wow…” Zane said taking aback by Rebecca’s Dollish appearance.

“What?” Rebecca snapped.

Zane swallowed “you look nice…?”

“And you are..?” Rebecca asked eying him with a smile.

“It’s me… Zane!” Zane said looking at her weirdly her pale lips spread into a smile as her Hazel didn’t lit up as she laughed.

“Yeah… I Know that, tall, brown hair… You are the Zane I know” Rebecca said cupping Zane’s cheeks.
“Becca… Are you okay?” immediately Zane asked that, Rebecca’s eyes lit up and her hands slowly slid down from Zane’s face.

“Zane..” she called looking a little shocked… “I… I’m.. I’m sorry” she apologized looking down at her feet and suddenly gasped at her shoes.

“I never wear these” Rebecca muttered to herself looking at her skirt and touching her hair.
“Why did I… Wear..
“Are you sure you’re feeling okay maybe you should call in sick” Zane suggested looking at Rebecca’s confused face.
“No..” Rebecca said still looking down at her feet and touching her neck choker…

“Okay then let’s go to school then.” Zane said.
.
Rebecca and Zane walked through the wide road of Rainal streets, Helen had angrily walked to school herself.

Zane glanced at Rebecca occasionally worried for her, she looked like she couldn’t put her finger to something, her eyes looked like she held a thousands questions, suddenly she pulled down the bowties she used to hold her two ponytails and her hair fell to her shoulder. She moved her hair back and scratched her forehead.

“Are you sure you’re okay?” Zane finally asked.

“Yeah…” she looked at Zane.
“No…” she added “Last night I.. I can’t believe I can’t remember what happened after…

“After what?” Zane stopped cause Rebecca stopped too. It seemed like she was trying to understand something but it was hard for her.

“After meeting that girl”. Rebecca said and suddenly her sparkly eyes faded to just plain Hazel.

“What girl?” Zane asked.
“What girl?” Rebecca repeated.
“Uh… You were talking about a girl?”. Zane said looking confused.
‘what is wrong with Rebecca?’ he thought.

“I was?” Rebecca grinned
“yeah just now” Zane said.
“Right that must have been Rebecca talking.” Rebecca smiled.
“But you’re Rebecca” Zane said trying to be on the same page with Rebecca.
“Oh yeah… Yeah… I Am Rebecca… Come on… Let’s hurry to school” Rebecca said with a nervous laugh and starts to walk ahead of Zane.
Zane glanced at her as he tried to put his head in one place and recall what had just happened.

Rebecca and Zane got to school and immediately Rebecca froze.
“what’s wrong?” Zane asked.
“we are in school” Rebecca repeated.
“Yeah and so what?” Zane said. “you came here yesterday and the day after, and may I tell you, you’re acting awkwardly different” Zane said
“Oh really how does Rebecca acts… I mean how do I act?” Rebecca asked placing her hand on her hips.
“First I know someone like you would really mind exposing their thighs in that short skirt, two you’re rude used to be, but not today, which I find amusing, you smile less and you don’t call yourself by your name, I mean where is that Rebecca” Zane asked.
“Oh Zack..” Rebecca began.
“It’s Zane”.
“Yeah Zane.. I’ve changed and you have to learn to love me that way, now lead the way to class, I’m happy and don’t ruin it” Rebecca while Zane gave a light shrug and they both head to class.
Rebecca sat down on her sit quietly after she had gone to collect her book from her locker while Zane head to Janet to see if his flirting would work on her this time.

Rebecca just sat still staring at at her desk not saying or doing anything, she barely blinked and that freaked Thelma out as she watched Rebecca from her seat where she applied makeup and immediately she ran over to Zane who was busy courting Janet.

“So Janet what do you think about Friday?” Zane smiled at Janet.
“I already told you Zane. It’s not going to work out” Janet primped her lips sparkling from the lip gloss she just applied.
“Janet I won’t force you, I kind of noticed I will soon be lucky in love.” Zane boasted.
“Yeah right” Janet rolled her eyes.
“Seriously I already confirmed that from a fortune teller and it’s bound to happen. You’ll be crawling back to me before you know it, I confessed to you a hundred times that’s something you don’t see everyday and I bet one day you’ll come crawling to me” Zane smirked.
“you’re dumb!” Janet said standing up. “What if your stupid fortuneteller Is actually talking about someone else and not me?” Janet scoffed.
“That can’t be possible.” Zane laughed.
“Yeah for example Rebecca?” Janet said bitterly.
“What? No…” Zane shook his head.
“Or maybe Thelma, who’s walking up to us now” Janet announced as Thelma walked up to them, making her roll her eyes.

“Hey Janet.!” Thelma wave.
“Don’t talk to me like we’re friends” Janet shook her head sitting down.
“Okay… Sorry miss” Thelma said as she turned to Zane.
“come on”
“What… Am kind of in the middle of something.” Zane said.
“Well you’ll be back I just need a few information from you” Thelma said grabbing Zane’s hand.
“Janet I’ll be back!” Zane announced.
“Like I care” Janet rolled her eyes.
She did care.
She likes Zane. But she was too spoiled to let her self accept that fact.
.
“okay first Janet is such an annoying brat, she was a wingless fairy when she first enrolled here, and then I gave her wings and now she’s using them against me!” Thelma said angrily.
“Okay first don’t insult my lady I’m only being nice to you because you’re the class president!” Zane said.
“Oh… Really only because of that?” Thelma asked.
“Yeah what else” Zane scoffed.
“So you forgot how extra nice I had been to you buy bringing myself down and helping you tell Janet you had a crush on her before you finally did! And how I sacrificed my jacket for you when you accidentally tore you shirt and didn’t like walking around shirtless, and how I even–
“Okay fine… Great you’ve done so much for me and I love you so much” Zane said making Thelma smiled.
“Good. Now tell me what’s wrong with Rebecca she’s weird” Thelma said and they both looked at Rebecca at the same time.
To see her seated like a statue not moving.
“i don’t know… But what’s weird is that she was more weird this morning, while coming to school together, one minute she was another person the other minute she was Rebecca, I don’t undertand” Zane shrugged.
“Hmm… I hope she’s okay” Thelma said.
“Yeah me too” Zane said.

“Wait. Did you say you and Rebecca came to school together?” Thelma asked dubiously.
“yeah what’s wrong?” Zane asked not getting her tone.
“You know I’d prefer you two to you and Janet” Thelma said poking Zane’s stomach.
“what? No way? And do you know Janet and I are going to be together forever?” Zane said sliding his hand over Thelma’s shoulder..
Thelma rolled her big bright eyes “And what made you say that”.
Zane smiled. “I got it confirmed by a fortuneteller, I’ll be lucky in love with a girl… Though i didn’t get the girl name I got a feeling it was Janet”.
“You’ve been stupefy by her Zane, what if she’s not the one what if the one you’ll be lucky in love with is Rebecca or maybe Felicia… Or even maybe… me!” Thelma said. Making Zane look down at her, she looked up at Zane and smiled as they held eye contact.
“Okay Thelma, Becca and Felicia are great… But you… No way…” Zane said getting a soft punch in his stomach.
“I was just joking dickhead… Dating you would be like having a play date with one of my childhood toys”. Thelma said slapping Zane’s buttock.
“Okay that was harsh!” Zane said.
“I’m gonna do it again!” Thelma said raising her hand but Zane caught it.
Zane faked an anger “okay that is enough, we’re not children anymore, come on don’t you have a heart you’ve been punching, kicking, smacking and slapping my life out ever since we were little, even though I was older. Just because you were taller then, but now I’m taller I mean have that respect”.

“Oh Zane… things can never change, even though I did not grow tall” Thelma rolled her eyes making Zane smiled remembering when he started to grow taller than her mom would tell his mom how Thelma cried all night saying Zane’s growing taller than her.

“Okay well things have changed, I’m a grown man, I love a woman and I’m willing to make her mine, don’t ruin my life Thelma” Zane said giving her hand he’s holding a small squeeze.
“A man… okay..” Thelma smiled looking at him. “But just know your relationship with Janet isn’t going to work out” Thelma said moving closer to Zane..

“What..wh..at are you do.. do.. Doing?” Zane stuttered.
“shh.. Janet’s looking at us I want to get her jealous which is totally working so just stay still”. Thelma said.
“But I thought you said you didn’t want me and her together.” Zane said.
“Well I have to help you somehow” Thelma smirked.
And it was working Janet was trying to contain the jealousy inside her but she couldn’t not until Thelma wrapped her hands around Zane’s neck.
Janet rolled her eyes and immediately walked out of the class, bumping into Felicia and shayne who was coming in with Mark behind them.
Thelma fell out laughing making Zane smile.
“Okay you won bravo, my real friends are here!” Zane said.
“So I’m what”.
“An annoying short girl who used to be my friend and now my fake friend” Zane said, knowing Thelma would be pissed hearing she’s short.
She wasn’t pissed not until she kicked his leg and he said.
“Be more like Janet… Pretty, girly, respectful and… tall..” Zane said.
“Great. You just ruined my mood” Thelma said before angrily walking out of the class,
“Hey Thelm… Th.. Thelma” Zane called chasing after her.
*
“Hey Becca you’re in school early” Felicia said sitting down with shayne and Mark too.
Rebecca looked at her awkwardly, then turn to shayne..
“Uhm… Hi?” Rebecca said unsure.
Felicia and shayne turned to face their fronts and slowly mark leaned towards Rebecca. And he asked.

“You okay?” he asked and Rebecca suddenly turned and they made eye contact.

“I’m okay…” she replied and gasped afterwards moving back like she had just seen a ghost.

“Mark.!?” she called.
“Yeah what’s wrong?” He answered.

“I didn’t know I would be seeing you again it’s been ages.” Rebecca said her breathing getting faster.

“Rebecca we saw each others few hours ago… Last night?” Mark said.

Rebecca stared at him blankly “Last night?.. Or you mean that night?”.

“I don’t understand what you mean and you look sick, are you okay, you look a little pale” Mark said his voice full of worry.

“No I’m fine… It’s just that it’s nice seeing you again… And trust me. It’s an honour” Rebecca smiled.

“Okay…” Mark said confused.
‘what’s wrong with her it’s like we’re having a different conversation’ Mark thought.

“So during lunch Mark… Do you want to sit with me?” Rebecca smiled revealing too much of her dimples.

“uhh… Sure.. Though we all sit together.” Mark said.

Rebecca shook her head. “No I want it to be just us.”

“Uhm okay?” Mark said, surprised! But still flattered.
She just changed! He thought.
.
Thelma and Zane came into the class before the teacher walked in and starts to teach.
After third and fourth period every student starts to walk to the cafeteria..

“So let’s go eat I’m starving” Zane said standing up.
“We all are” shayne added.
From the corner of Zane’s eyes Zane could see Janet standing up and he smiled as he watched her.
“Why are you looking at her like that?” Shayne asked.

“Because he’s in Love with her!” Thelma’s voice echoed from nowhere before she starts walking up to them.
“No way… And you didn’t tell any of us about this?” shayne asked.
“To be precise she found out herself and just made me admitted it in front her” Zane elaborated.
“Still you’re in love with Janet Sawyer and you didn’t tell us” shayne almost yelled.
“Who’s in love with Janet?” Felicia chipped in standing up making Mark and Rebecca interested.
“Great. Now they’re all going to find out” Zane rolled his eyes.
“Wait for real? You like janet?” Felicia gasped.

“Yeah” Zane said shyly rubbing and giving Thelma a death glare.

Thelma smiled at him, showed him the middle finger and walked out of the class.

“So… Guys let’s go eat. While eating we can talk about Zane and Janet.” Felicia said happily.

“Great I can’t believe I’m the topic of today” Zane rolled his eyes.

Shayne smiled. “Don’t worry dude we’ll talk about Janet too, then Zanet will be the topic of today”.

Rebecca’s voice suddenly made everyone turn to her.
“You guys can eat without us, I just want it to be the two of us”.

“But we all eat together.!” Felicia frowned.

“Yeah I know… But today I want to eat with Mark alone, I want to spend the day with him, don’t you get it?” Rebecca rolled her eyes, linking her hand with Mark’s.

“Okay I don’t understand, when did this happen?” shayne asked gesturing his around their linked arms.

“I’m surprised as you are” Mark said trying to unlink their arms but Rebecca held on to him tighter.
“Well let’s all eat together, you guys can do your whatever in detention today!” Felicia said looking at shayne and then at Mark and Rebecca before Marching out of the class.
Mark finally unlinked their arms and followed the others as they walked outside the classroom, Rebecca happily trailing behind Mark.
Mark glanced at Rebecca who walked behind him with a smile her eyes focused on him, something was way off and Mark could feel it, her eyes didn’t lit up like normal and Rebecca would actually smile for real and this smile looks a little bit forged, her face was pale, dull and her skin looks whiter.
And since when did Rebecca ever become so clingy. Mark swallowed his thoughts not agreeing with what his male subconscious was telling him.

“No way…” He muttered to himself.

.
The five friends sat around a table in the cafeteria and laughed about Janet and Zane which shayne has officially announced the couples to be called Zanet, Thelma had joined them adding her own choice of words to the Zanet couples insulting every features Janet had and teasing the life out of Zane making everyone laugh.
Rebecca had remained quiet all through, picking at her food and Mark watched her all through and immediately they heard the bell. Mark dragged Rebecca and took her out of the cafeteria leaving everyone surprised and wondering if anything was actually going on between them.
*
“Whoa I thought you didn’t like me.!” Rebecca giggled.
“Rebecca!” Mark called grabbing her hand.
“what?” Rebecca smiled leaning closer to him. “Are you finally in love with me?” she added moving closer to him.
“Rebecca what is wrong with you…? This isn’t you”. Mark said.
“Of course it is. You like me, I like you let’s celebrate with a kiss.” Rebecca said happily.
“For god sake Becca can you please stop this!” Mark yelled fustrated and Rebecca flinched.

“Mark?” she called, her voice soft but scared, her eyes litting up under the afternoon sun.

“What are you doing?” Rebecca added. Looking at the way mark held her hand and the proximity of closeness their body held. She suddenly moved back removing her hand from his grip.

“But you came up to me…?” Mark paused to look at how confused and lost she looked.

“Are you okay?” Mark asked stepping closer to her but she moved back immediately.

“Stop! Don’t come any closer” Rebecca yelled. Making him stop on his track and watch her hand dug into her looking at her surroundings.

“Something is wrong with me Mark!” Rebecca shivered.
“Wh.. What?” Mark asked to be sure something was definitely wrong with Rebecca.

“I don’t know, Minutes ago I was with Zane and now I’m with you, Zane asked me the same thing and… And I… I.. I don’t even know how to explain myself” her eyes had started to get teary,.

“Okay calm down!” Mark told her.
“I am trying” Rebecca’s voice faded.
“Okay tell me, how do you feel?” Mark asked.
“I… I… Don’t know.. I just don’t feel in control of my…
Actually I feel great” Rebecca suddenly smiled, cleaning the tears that was threatening to fall. And her Hazel eyes became dull again.

“Becca…” Mark called shocked at how she switched mood quickly

“Oh Mark! Quit with your questions I’m fine! And I’ll be heading back to class now” Rebecca smiled before walking away… Mark stood still speechless.
Rebecca got to class and as she sat down a teacher walked into the class and starts to teach.

“So where’s Mark?” Zane asked.
Rebecca replied “He’s still outside”.
“So what… Are you two dating or what?” Zane asked making Felicia and shayne turn to her curiously.
“What do you guys think… Should we?” Rebecca smiled her face getting more beautified by her dimples.
“Uhh… Sure…?” Felicia shrugged.
“You two should!” Zane added.
“But I thought you didn’t like Mark” Felicia added with a sly smile.
“Oh well people change!” Rebecca shrugged, before they all turned back to their book and the teacher.
Mark suddenly walked in the class without anyone noticing, and as he sat down beside Rebecca he ignored her stares and touched Felicia lightly making her turn.
“When did you walk into the class”.
Shayne and Zane turned to him, but he ignored both their stares and focused on Felicia.
“That’s not important… Here” He said giving Felicia a small key.
“what’s this fo…
“it’s for my locker, I’m calling in sick” Mark said.

“What? Are you really sick?” Rebecca chipped in.
“No.” Mark replied without looking at her.
“Then why are you suddenly skipping school.?” Felicia asked.
“I have something important to look into” Mark said.
“What is it?” Rebecca asked suspiciously.

“None of your business” Mark replied cooly.

“Okay everything you do is my business” Rebecca said angrily.
“Well this is None of your business okay!” Mark said standing up.
“Felicia if school closes, take my backpack to my locker. Thank you!”.
And like that Mark disappeared without the teacher noticing again.
“What do you think he’s up to?” Rebecca asked Felicia.
“I have no idea” Felicia replied, turning back to the teacher.

“Oh”. Was what Rebecca could say staring at the door angrily.

School was over and Rebecca almost cried when she found out she had detention today, and would be having it without Mark.
*
Finally detention was over, Rebecca stumbled out of the class angrily and walked home alone in dark scary night.
Rebecca got home and got welcomed warmly by her family with late dinner.

“We had to eat late because of you!” Taylor said.
“Thanks mummy!.. I mean mom.” Rebecca said looking at her plate.

“You look gloomy is everything alright?” Vera asked.
“Stop asking me useless questions” Rebecca snapped.

“Don’t yell at me Becca, I’m trying to be nice here, why are you suddenly acting like a bitch!” Vera yelled angrily.

“Because I am! … Happy?” Rebecca yelled back.

“Girls calm down”. Mr Steven yelled walking up to the table.

“Good thing I’d be going back to college next week, I’m tired of seeing your idiotic face” Vera snarled.

“Well hurry up cause no one needs your stupid ass here too” Rebecca snapped.

“Fuck you!” Vera said angrily.

“Vera! Language!” steven yelled.

“Okay girls quiet… Let’s just eat dinner in peace. And I thought you guys were bonding” taylor shook her head negatively.

“I thought we were too!” Vera arched her brows.

The Adam’s ate dinner quietly without any bicker, and immediately after dinner Rebecca quietly dragged Helen to her room and locked the door behind them.

“What do you want?” Helen yelled sitting on her bed.
“Shhh… Don’t yell!” Rebecca gave a devilish smile.
“Okay what do you want with me, I want to go do my homework or else mom would scold me like this morning!” Helen sighed.
Rebecca sat down opposite Helen on the bed and smiled.

“Helen it’s me!” Rebecca smiled.
“What? What’s you?” Helen asked confused by the statement.

“It’s me Delilah!” Rebecca smiled.
“Delilah… Delilah the one who comes to my room every night?” Helen asked lowly.
“Yeah” Rebecca nodded happily making Helen stand up in shock.
“Then… Why are you Rebecca?” Helen asked angrily.
“Oh Helen, don’t be mad, Rebecca’s a nice girl, she gave me permission to live inside of her for a while”
“Really?” Helen asked.
“yeah, I’ll be gone before you know it” Rebecca smiled.
“Then if you’re in Rebecca’s body, then where is Rebecca?” Helen asked, her child brain trying to understand the ‘magical’ situation.
“She’s In here too taking a nice nap” Rebecca smiled.

“Okay!” Helen scratched her blonde hair.
“i want you to do something for me Helen”.
“which is?” Helen pouted.
“Help me find my doll”.
“Oh that’s easy I think it’ll be somewhere in the living room, cause I remember Rebecca angrily throwing it away there.” Helen smiled.
“Good. Oh you’re so nice Helen, everyone had always pushed me away if I try to befriend them but you’re different and nice” Rebecca said making Helen smile widely.
“And if you help me find my doll, I’ll give you a reward, and then I’ll give those who tried to push me away an ending reward starting with pretty boy Mark, who tried to end me two years ago. Well I’m back and here to stay” Rebecca laughed devilishly while Helen joined her, happy she’ll be collecting a reward and she couldn’t wait to find the doll.
