They said, " Bad Dreams can't happen in reality, sometimes it is the opposite."

While walking down the courtyard of the school, I noticed someone, sitting on a bench beside a lamp post under a shady Banyan tree. It's quite eerie because he was alone, reading a book in that deserted place. He's wearing a white polo with short sleeves, paired with blue jeans. I was intrigued by this mysterious man, though I wasn't planning to approach him. While I was in my deep thoughts, I was startled by the school bell. I turned around and look at the clock on the wall.

================================

My God! I didn't notice it was already time. Before I went away, I glanced back to the man that I just saw, but he's no longer there. I just guessed that he already went to his class or something. Anyways, it didn't matter.

I had my class and our Prof. started by giving out his module for the lesson and some designated presentation that we would make. Everything went well. It's already 9 pm when my class ended.

I was leaving the campus feeling comfortable with the silence that lurk that night. I pondered on random things while heading to the front gate of my school. Before I reached the gate, I looked at the clear night sky. The moon was shining bright. Then, I tilted my head a little and made a quick glance at the courtyard.

Then, I sighted him, the man I saw earlier again, standing in the courtyard. For some coincidences, I saw him twice already. He waved at me, I didn't know if it was me,or he was waving to someone else, so I looked around to check if there was someone else. But No, I was alone. So I'm sure it was me.

======================================== I turned around to face him again, but I was surprised that he was too close to me. My eyes widened when I made an eye contact. My heart beat faster and I was speechless. I was totally puzzled , how did he do it?. He's too far to reach me, in a second and how I didn't even notice that he was coming. There were so many questions that I wanted to ask, but no words came out.

"Hey!", he said, as he raised his hand and waved it in front of my face. "My name is Mark. I've noticed you this afternoon at the courtyard walking alone. What is your name?", he said.

"Uh-ah, Hi. I stepped backward and tried to compose myself. Wait-wait a Sec., How did you get here that fast? And who are you?", I said. "I'm Mark. I'm also a student here, and you are?", he said. I'm Plum. "Nice to meet you Plum. I'm so happy that I personally meet you, at last.", he smiled.

===========================================

He suddenly took my hand for a handshake. I was shocked by the gesture, so I took my hand away. Sorry, but I need to go home now., I turned away from him and started walking home, but he followed.

Wait, are you following me? Are you stalking me?!, I nagged.

No, I'm sorry. I didn't mean that. I just wanted to talk ...-, he explained, but I interrupted him. -In the middle of the night?! Are you crazy? Who are you? Don't you dare go nearer !, I exclaimed.

I didn't let him finish whatever he said, because I was so scared that I ran away from him. Hey! I'm so sorry. It's really hard to explain. Wait, don't go!!!

============================================

While I was running, I accidentally bumped into someone.

"I'm sorry. Please help me. Please! Someone is following on me.", I cried.

I looked up to see clearly the face of the person I bumped into, but I was totally shocked and gasped instead.

"Wh-what?! How did you get here? You're behind me. I outrun you!", I was too scared that I fell on my feet and crawled back.

He didn't do anything. He was just standing there behind me.I suddenly hyperventilated and everything went black.

=======================================

I opened my eyes and I looked up the ceiling. I told myself it was all a dream. I slowly got up and sat upright. I adjusted my eyes to the darkness. I noticed... I'm not in my room. I gasped and my heart started racing.

I stepped on the floor, and stood up. I was confused, the floor was wet. The stench around the room smells liked a rust or blood. I hope not, but it was too late. I was standing in the pool of blood. I looked around and saw someone lying on the floor. The blood was from this man. It was Mark.

They said," Bad Dreams can't happen in reality, sometimes it is the opposite."

Now, I understand why I am here and what this place is. It's my lair.

I reached a newspaper on the table, I noticed something. "A student went missing three days ago... the Authorities have still no clue yet..."I covered the body with the newspapers and went to the bathroom. Then I soaked myself in the bathtub. My memories was a bit hazy from Mark's blood. I still don't understand how I can retrieve people's memory every time I took their blood. Though, sometimes I'm happy to have them because I never had one.

It has been a while, I was a student... I am a student in this school and will always be. The authorities will never know, they never catch me and never will. Such a weakling.

If I just kill once a year. I live.

I hum my favorite lullaby while busy footsteps above me echoed, then the bell rings.
