I had never really care about ghost stories before. I treated them as some good laugh when I heard some from any my friends. Never took it serious at all. Somehow, I always think those who experienced them were either thinking too much or were dreaming.

It happened in 2000, when I was in boarding school. That was my third year. I can say that this was the year where I came to see a lot of things are unexplainable.

Considering myself as really brave, I will stay up late at night after the light off announcement being made. It was a great time to study without any disturbance from the friends. And everything would be real quiet. We were allowed to stay up late to study in preparation rooms. Lucky for me, my dormitory room was on the same floor with one of the preparation rooms. Just that, the room was on the one end of the floor while my dormitory room was on another end just beside the washroom. That’s quite a journey, huh?

As routine, after light off, I made myself a cup of black coffee, so that I can stay up longer that night to finish up my project. It was me all alone, until that night.

Emily: Uiks, you also stay up eh?

Don: Ya, need to finish up some work.

Don is a Kadazan girl from Sabah who was in the same class with me.

We stayed the whole night concentrating on our own work. And then somehow, I fell asleep on the chair. When I woke up around 3 a.m. Don was not there anymore. I guessed she must had done and went back to sleep. So, I packed up my things and went back to my dormitory room to sleep.

The next day in the class, I asked Don.

Emily: Don, tonight you’re going to stay up again?

Don: No? My dorm so far from Form 3 prep-room. Lazy la.

Emily: I mean the prefect’s prep-room. The one we were using last night. It’s nearer.

Don: Huh? Last night? I was sleeping all night long in my dorm.

Emily: So fast forget. =.=

I was thinking Don was joking with me until I asked her roomie, she confirmed that Don was sleeping after came back from night class the night before. And for next few weeks, I banned myself from staying up in that room again.
