Chapter 9 – A Student Disappear
Meanwhile, when Jake arrives at the dorm, he notices that Nicole is not there yet. After he got dressed, he picked up the cell phone and called Nicole.
“Where are you? It’s late!” he asked her immediately.
“Uhm, I’m about to enter the building.” Nicole sighed.
“Oh, why do you seem to be out of breath? Is anyone chasing you again?” Jake asked worriedly.
“Haist, long story, just later,” said Nicole.
“Ah okay.”
Then Jake hung up the phone, at the same time calling him, he saw who was calling and he was hesitant to answer it.
He took a deep breath before answering the call.
“Hello.” Jake replied.
“Son, how are you? Are you eating well there?” asked his Mom.
“Yes, I’m fine here. What do you need?” Jake asked.
“I just want to say hello to you son. Your Dad and I miss you, when will you come back here?” her Mom asked.
“I don’t know yet, maybe after graduation.” He replied.
The dorm slowly opened and he saw Nicole enter. She saw Jake talking on the phone so she did not make any noise and slowly lowered her belongings to the small table. Jake got up and walked to the balcony and continued talking.
“Son, can you go on a vacation here for Christmas or New Year, don’t you have no classes then?” her Mom asked.
“Mom, I’m not sure, we might have a lot of gigs at that time. You know I’m playing, don’t you?” said Jake.
“Okay son, but you don’t have to play anymore, I’ll send you more money if you need some more.” she says.
“Mom, don’t send it anymore, I make money from my gigs. I’ll just tell you, when I need money, but as of now, I still have enough money here.” said Jake.
“Son, I’m just worried, you might be starving yourself there. I heard you are still not moving the money I am sending you.” her Mom said.
“Mom, don’t worry, I’m fine here. Don’t send too many things, I have nothing to put in this dorm.” said Jake.
“Okay, go ahead and just tell me right away if you need help. I also heard that you got into a fight last night, Echo would have helped you but he said you ran and hid. How are you son, are you injured? And who is that woman with you?” His Mom was concerned about it.
“I’m fine Mom, nothing bad happened to me. I just helped my classmate Mom.” Jake explained.
He heard his Mom take a deep breath before he spoke again.
“All right son, always be careful. If Echo can’t follow you once, call him when you need him, okay?” said her Mom.
“Okay Mom, you and Dad be careful there too.” Jake said goodbye.
Then he put down the phone. He looked at Nicole and saw her reading her books, he approached her.
“What is that? Your diligence today ah.” Jake mocked.
“Tssk, we have a pre-test so I need to review. How about you, why are you not reviewing?” she asked Jake.
Jake sat on the side of Nicole’s bed before speaking.
“I don’t need to review; I’m not stupid like you.” He teased Nicole and laughed out loud.
“Tssk! You are smart!” said Nicole.
“Well, why are you coming home late? And why when I call you, it looks like you’re out of breath? Are they chasing you?” Jake asked worriedly.
“Ah, no. Jane and I ran because of the ghost.” said Nicole.
“What?! Ghost?!” Jake laughed out loud again.
She kicked him slightly on the knee.
“Stop it! That’s true! There was a ghost earlier in the hallway! Jane and I felt it earlier, so we ran.” Nicole explained, annoyed at Jake’s reaction.
“Ghosts are no longer here, we are millennial, so do not believe in ghosts. Maybe it’s just Marco, scaring you!” Jake said to her.
“I’m not sure, because there are no people there, and the classrooms are closed. When we were passing in the room, we suddenly heard a moving chair in one of the classrooms there.” Nicole explained.
“Really? Well, maybe the ghost is sending you home.” Jake joked.
“Tssk! It’s up to you, if you don’t want to believe!” Nicole was annoyed and she resumed her review.
“Eh, where did you feel like a ghost?” Jake asked.
“On the second floor, in the middle, I don’t know what room it is, because we came from the library.” she says.
“Is that so?”
Then Jake was silent, later Nicole went to the bathroom.
Jake hid and when Nicole came out of the bathroom he startled Nicole loudly, Nicole also shouted loudly.
“Hhhhhooooooo!”
“Aaaaahhhhhh!!!” Nicole screamed loudly.
Jake laughed at Nicole’s reaction and laughed heartily.
“You are shameless!” She immediately took the book and slapped Jake on the body.
Jake rejects Nicole’s blows!
“You such a jerk! Bastard!” disgusted by beating Jake.
“Ahhh, ouchh!”
Until Jake backed away and was out of balance, he pulled Nicole and at the same time they fell on the bed. He smiles as he looks at Nicole, while Nicole stares at Jake angrily.
Their lips almost came together as she lay on top of Jake.
Jake and Nicole stared at each other and it was as if strange energy flowed through their bodies. While Nicole was still in herself, she immediately planned to stand up, but Jake pulled her again and she lay down on top of Jake again.
“Jake!” and she struggled to stand but Jake hugged her whole body while smiling at Nicole.
As Nicole struggles and tries to escape Jake’s embrace.
“Damn it Jake! Let me go!” Nicole said nervously to Jake, as she felt he was planning to do something.
“Well, are you afraid of ghosts or me?” Jake asked while looking at her lips.
“Damn Jake! Released me or else – ”
“Or else what?”
Then Jake turned her on the bed and she was now lying on the bed and Jake was on top of her.
“Will you send me to Hell or bury me alive?” a smiling Jake mocked her.
“No, I will kill you! When ‘you haven’t stood up yet!’ Nicole threatened him.
Jake smiled at what Nicole said, he slowly brought his face closer to Nicole as if he was going to kiss her, Nicole’s nervousness was too strong at those times and she just closed her eyes.
But when she closed her eyes, she did not feel Jake kissing her. She opened her eyes and saw Jake standing up and still laughing at her.
She immediately stood up and the book threw at Jake hard.
“Damn you! You’re such a jerk!” Nicole said angrily to Jake.
Jake immediately approached her, Nicole backed away and leaned in the door and Jake cornered her. Jake approached her and blocked both hands at the door, before speaking.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
“Why… do you want us to continue?” said Jake as his face was too close to hers.
“No way!” Nicole said firmly to Jake.
“Okay then, go to sleep now, or maybe I can do something else.” said Jake while teasing her.
Then Jake grinned, as he looked at her and slowly backed away and climbed onto his bed. Nicole breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Jake climb on his bed.
She walked slowly to get the book she had thrown at Jake and went back to the table and arranged her belongings.
“Hmm, I’ll just review again tomorrow, I’m a little sleepy too.” she said to herself as she arranged her belongings. Then she lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

The next day, as Jane enters she sees Amber again with another man. It got off the motor and let the man know. She immediately hid in the gardens so that they could not see her and she immediately took the cell phone and pointed at Amber and her man.
After saying goodbye, she walked into the university. After Amber passed her, she just came out of hiding.
She looked at Amber, as Nicole approached her.
“Hi Jane! What are you looking at?” Nicole asked.
“It’s Amber, I caught her again with another man.” Jane said.
“Oh really?! Where are they?” and Nicole looked around to see as well.
“Gone! But this time, I took a picture of them.” She then handed the phone to Nicole and showed her a picture of Amber and the man on a motorbike.
Nicole looked at the pictures on her cell phone and saw that Amber was with another man.
“Huh, Henry will definitely get angry when he finds out that Amber is just fooling him.” said Nicole.
“So, they will definitely separate!” said Jane while smiling.
“How do you show that to Henry? You might get involved, if you gave that to Henry yourself.” Nicole asked.
“Just, I do not need to show him this myself. At the right time, I will release it.” she winked at Nicole at the same time.
“Okay! Let’s go ahead, we might get late!” said Nicole.
Then they walked to their classroom.
Meanwhile, as they were walking, they noticed that some students were making a fuss and gossiping. They were curious and they asked the two students who were whispering.
“Hey, what’s going on? Why do students seem to be making a fuss?” Nicole asked.
“There is news about the missing student; they said last night a student disappeared.” Female students answer.
“What?! Lost? How did it disappear?!” Jane asked in surprise.
“Last night, there was a student who did not come home to the dorm, her roommate was worried. So she called her on the phone, but the woman did not answer. Then she reported to the Admin what happened, then this morning they saw the woman’s phone and things on the stairs.” explanation of gay student.
“What?! What happened? Who took her?” Nicole asked.
“That’s what I don’t know yet, the CCTV didn’t hit her when she was taken. But she was seen running down the hallway and was obviously terrified.” Gay student answers.
“Huh! Where is she now?” Nicole asked.
“Well, there is still no news until now, even though they have searched all over the university,” said the female student.
Later they heard an announcement from the Dean.
“Good morning students, we decided to postpone your academic classes for today! Please go back to your dorms and homes. Don’t go out alone; make sure you always have someone with you, especially at night. From 7pm you must be in your own dorm and it is forbidden to go out. Do not just approach a stranger. This is effective today! Everyone be careful!”
After the announcement, the students left, and they saw some policemen surrounding the school area. As they walked back to their dorm they remembered that last night.
“Nicole, it was last night, we heard something in the hallway, what is that? Is that possible, the one who gets the student?” Jane asked her.
“Tssk! I also do not know. If he is a kidnapper or a ghost, well at least we escaped! So don’t leave the dorm later.” said Nicole.
“Huh, you are the one who likes to go out.” said Jane.
Soon after Nicole’s cell phone rang, she was nervous to see who was calling her.
