The weather is nice
Hmm it really is
It's slightly cloudy and the blue gives off a nice warm feeling
Who said that
Who is speaking
I thought while starting to feel fear
I turned my head from the window to examine the classroom for the person speaking
Well try as I might; it's completely impossible to tune him out
But human beings are one thing if not hopelessly relentless
Who are you
What do you want
Come out
I thought in my head but there was no reply
The fear grew in my heart
And I more than others like to think of myself as someone who is relentless
This is something that increasingly baffles me after such a long time
I mean why do I feel the cool breeze coming from outside the window
Why do I feel my scruffy hair sweep across my cheeks as it covered my eyes
Why do I feel the slight friction between my uniform and my bare skin
Why
Why
Why
Is that me
It does sound like my voice
That is something I would think about myself
If that's me then who am 'I'
I am me
Then who is 'he'
Calm down and think
I'm thinking right now and I can hear myself thinking
But I can also hear 'myself' thinking too referring to the voice
So I had just left my dorm room alone after locking the door
The key turned with a click and I left after that
Isn't 'he' talking about this morning
I remember turning the key only once because I don't care whether they steal anything
It's not like they would be able to steal much from me anyway
I guess it really is me then
Is it possible that I suddenly developed the ability to think multiple thoughts simultaneously
Did I suddenly develop super powers or something
No that's ridiculous
Why would someone like me ever be given a supernatural gift
I'm no hero neither can I be the main character
I'm too much of a coward
Then maybe it's all a hallucinations or I'm dreaming
I should pinch myself and see if I'll wake up
I pinched the skin of my hand tightly
Ow
So I'm definitely awake
I rubbed the red skin that was still transmitting pain to my senses
Superpowers... something I never imagined would be given to me
The superpower is actually scary
To hear yourself thinking while also thinking
It's like there's voice is whispering in your mind that sounds exactly like you
It's feels really creepy
If it's really superpowers then maybe I should find a way to make it stop
Well I'm not someone who does the correct thing anyway
They weren't wrong when they would call me dumb under their breath as I passed the hallway
So where was I
I was going to drop the key off with the one in charge

It hasn't stopped yet and I don't have the faintest idea on how to do it
I tried telling the voice to stop but it doesn't seem to hear me
I was ignored
Next; I tried to stop thinking completely but the voice just continued speaking
Even if it was a superpower then I would have been able to get some kind of reaction
Even if it was just a tiny pause
But I got nothing
My thoughts shifted from getting superpowers to a parasite
Maybe there is a parasite trying to take control of my body and the side effect of the process not being complete
That makes me feel even worse
I can move my body though
I tried to stand up and I did
So there's no problem there
But I also ended up alerting the classroom
Once they saw it was me; they glared at me and stopped paying attention
I hurriedly sat down before it could result in a problem
Then am I just going crazy
Maybe the stress of living has finally caught up to me and I developed a second voice in my head
Then what is the purpose of this voice
I was walking to drop the key off when I got distracted by something
Then someone bumped into me
"Watch where you're going trash" the voice was five points anger and four points disgust
Oh I remember this incident
I remember being distracted by the sound of someone falling
I turned to look and I saw one of my bullies about to jump his friend
The friend dodged and the bully collapsed on the floor
But the friend that was attacked had been scratched during the attack
I remember seeing black spots on the face of the bully
And one of that same black spot grew on the hand of the friend close to the wound
I had a bad feeling when I saw those black spots
That's because there was also someone else there
The friend couldn't carry the bully alone so they called a passing student for help
That student was my desk mate
The same desk mate that I just observed to have a black spot on his face
He probably got scratched when he helped carry the bully to the clinic
Then that would mean that the cause of the bully collapsing is infectious
Now what should I do
I should observe the situation first
I'm not one for confrontation
I tried to observe the condition of my deskmate
There wasn't much to find out from his body because of his uniform and the fact that his head was down
But I could see that the black spots were visible on the places I could see
It looked like decaying skin and burnt skin combined
There was a smell of rotten eggs
And there were faint sounds coming from him like painful moans
Overall he was looking and sounding very scary
I shifted myself away from him
I debated on alerting the teacher about the fact that his head was down
But then I saw that half of the classroom also had their head down
The teacher doesn't seem to care about the students asleep
So that's not going to work
And I can't tell him myself that he is sick
First of all; he won't even listen to me or acknowledge my raised hand
Second of all, I'm not sure that the desk mate in question would cooperate to go to the clinic
And asking for leave myself won't be allowed
It's the only form of bullying the teachers would be able to do to me
I won't be allowed a sick leave or a bathroom pass
The only choice I had was to shift as far away as possible from my deskmate while watching him
Hopefully I'm just being crazy and there's nothing to worry about
He might just stay collapsed until the end of first period
Honestly looking at him just made me more uneasy so I shifted my focus to the hallway
There were a lot of people being carried away to the clinic
There were also some weird students who seemed to be leaving in a hurry
They looked anxious and were wary of the collapsed student passing
They were really suspicious
It seems like there is something going on in the school
But I don't dare to go outside to check
If all those collapsed students are like my desk mate then that would be terrifying
That means that the danger is in a large quantity
Scary
I'm really scared
That led me to thinking about how nice the weather is
Hmm but I seem to be forgetting something
I was about to an answer the question on why I'm still alive
It's because I'm a coward
Growl
I was already tense because of the situation outside so I jumped when I heard such a deep growl
I turned my head to see my deskmate raising his head up from the desk
I stood up from my seat in fear once I saw his red eyes
I was terrified at this point
My heart was beating loudly in my ears and I trembled
I shakily took a step back but then I realized I was seated beside the window
There wasn't a place for me to run to except forward
And infront of me was my desk mate turned monster
The monster lunged at me as I screamed
I tried to push him away but I was too weak from lack of appropriate nutrition and my normal weakened physique
I felt enormous pain as he bit into my cartoid artery on my neck
Pain
I tried to scream but the sound was blocked by the blood filling up my throat
I tried to scream but the sound was blocked by the blood filling up my throat
Is this it
Is this it
Am I finally going to meet my end
Am I finally going to die
Is this the end
Is all the pain and suffering going to cease
Is all the pain and suffering finally coming to an end
I truly hope so from the depths of my heart
I hope so
He he
Is that another voice
I thought as my consciousness slipped away
I'm glad it's ending; I thought as I succumbed to death
