The Mediums Help

10

The soccer game ended when Resa scored the first, and last, goal. He ran towards the stairs which are usually used by the audience to sit while watching the events on the field. Mineral water along with a small bag containing a cell phone and wet wipes were there. Luckily it was safe until he finished playing soccer, usually mineral water often disappeared, and didn't know who the culprit was until now.

A sigh of relief came out after he downed the mineral water that felt so cold even though it wasn't stored in the fridge. Resa started to sit while lying down without feeling pain, instead he was comfortable with the hard and sharp floor.

"I found someone."

A woman's voice made Resa squint because of the dazzling sunlight. He saw that Tere was sitting with his back to him, but Resa felt that there was something strange about the female ghost that had been following him. Immediately he shifted into a sitting position then said, "Found who?"

"Someone who can help you," Tere said. She began to stare at her interlocutor with a pleased reaction, full of pride at finally going to the afterlife. "She's a girl, I saw her yesterday when I was at school. Not yesterday, but last night."

"Last night? No wonder you weren't home." Resa nodded his head as he thought about him activities last night which were indeed alone. It's just that he didn't think Tere would visit the school at night. "But weren't you the one who said that you don't like going to school at night? You said that there are lots of ghosts at school who have negative energy."

"Yeah, you're right about that because I remember. However, I felt like I had to go to school then, and something big happened." Tere gave her signature serious expression to Resa who gave a flat stare. Her eyebrows knit together as her hands began to move in the air. "She could see all of us who were in the hallway last night. She even saw the scariest Dutch woman. I'm sure she was very scared."

"Why be afraid when she can see something like that?"

Tere just shrugged her shoulders. Don't know the answer to Resa's question just now, after all she had just seen a girl who could see her even though she wasn't sure whether the girl remembered her face or not.

"So you want to ask her for help?"

"Of course it's not like that. You have to ask for her help, Resa," said Tere. She touched Resa's right hand with a big smile. It was clear that there was hope in her eyes, and that made Resa feel uncomfortable.

Resa feels that he has to be responsible for his promises so far, and he has to have meetings with people he has never met. "How can I meet her?"

"She's entering the eleventh grade, but I don't know her name. She's a pretty girl with long hair, and a little tall. It's just that what I saw was in the dark, so I can't tell for sure what her face will look like during the day." Tere sighed quite heavily with a sad look. She no longer touched Resa's hand, and looked at the boy.

Her gaze shifted to the half remaining water bottle. Watching while thinking of a way to get home with the help of the girl she saw.

"I'll find out by the characteristics you said earlier."

"You're serious?" said Tere happily.

"Yeah, I'll look for her until I find her."

Resa had circled the corridor from the first floor to the third floor, and he had even visited the roof. But, sadly, he didn't find anything. He couldn't find a girl that matched Tere's features. Everyone looked like normal humans who didn't have abilities like her.

Resa went down the stairs, entered the canteen belonging to her underclassmen which was busy. He chose to sit at the end of the room while watching everyone who was enjoying their lunch.

One by one Resa observed the girls in the canteen, and most of them had long hair with beautiful faces. All of her underclassmen had all of the characteristics given by Tere, and Resa felt tired. There was no way he would suddenly ask if they had the same ability as being able to see ghosts. He wouldn't be able to do that.

Resa sighed heavily, he took a bottle of mineral water along with a small plastic filled with intestinal chips. "I'm confused about starting all of this," Resa said to Tere who had just sat beside her.

"Yes, everyone has the characteristics I mentioned. How do you know if she is an indigo?"

"Couldn't you come before them and then know who you saw last night?"

"It's not that easy to show up. I have to have more energy so I don't come with an ugly face," explained Tere with a long sigh. She started to stare at the other person, but Resa was still busy enjoying his crispy intestine chips. "Is there no other way?" said Tere.

"Another way is just by looking at the aura that comes out. Usually indigo children have a different aura from ordinary children. Unfortunately I haven't seen that aura since earlier, it seems she's invisible."

"How could she not be seen?" Tere frowned to think, she was starting to get confused as to the method she would use to be able to find the girl she saw last night. As if there was no hope, Tere sighed again for the umpteenth time.

Her gaze turned to the cafeteria visitors who were enjoying food with friends with gusto. The most annoying thing was that no one saw her sitting with Resa, they all really couldn't see.

"Do we have to finish here?" asked Resa.

"Yes, it seems so because I myself am confused now. However, I will do everything I can to find that girl, for the sake of my return I will do it even if I have to spend a lot of energy."

"Hopefully your efforts will not be in vain." Resa patted Tere's right shoulder before getting up and walking away to pay for his drink and intestinal chips. While Tere only saw Resa's back for a moment before finally disappearing.
