No one talked to Aarav.

Not because he was mean.

Because his smile never faded — not even when no one was looking.

I only noticed him when I dropped my red journal near the old third-floor hallway — the one that was sealed after the fire last year.

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bKF5sUD7G

I shouldn’t have gone alone.

The hallway was cold. Silent.

My journal sat just inside Room 302.

When I opened the door…

He was there.

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqMIIlJrR3

Sitting on a broken desk, sketching.

He didn’t look surprised. He didn’t say hello.

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjiBy9uDtw

He just smiled.

And turned his notebook around.

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoY7WsBql2m

He had drawn me.

Sleeping.

"You dropped this," he said calmly.

My journal was on the desk… next to something dark. Wet. Red.

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVw4v0c4zlJ

I froze.

"You write like someone who's never been seen," he added, "I liked that."

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NmeubbNOo

I backed away.

He stepped forward.

“You saw too much,” he whispered. “Now you belong to the secret too.”

The next day, he sat beside me in class.

No one said a thing.

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnD8Cg5wFAN

He smiled.

And I couldn’t breathe.

In my locker, a note waited:

22Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SnhXLEMwR

> "I saved your journal.

Now you owe me your silence.

Or your smile.

Pick one."
