Chapter 2: GET ACQUAINTED

The sequel is told from Thalia Grace's point of view:

I finally went to EINSTEIN High School. From a distance, I saw my second sister, Drusilla, waiting for me at the dormitory gate. It was a beautiful Sunday, everything was perfect in my eyes, my father drove me to school, I could even meet my sister at school, everything for me is so wonderful now, only that if my sister If we don't hate Aunt Huong, the four of us can even take family photos to celebrate the day I can go to a school like many other children.

"Didn't that woman come?" As soon as he met me, Drusilla asked.

"Isn't it that you don't like Aunt Alice, so she didn't follow me, I also said that she followed me to check in, but she said that she has me so she can rest assured." , I smile gently

Drusilla looked at me, maybe it was because she wasn't used to me when I could see everything, so her face looked a little weird but happy. She said nothing more, told my father to rest assured to go on duty, today she does not go to teach, so she can take me to the dormitory room and arrange my things. Fearing that I would be lost among the students, my sister quickly grabbed my small arm and led me into the dormitory.

"I told the administrator that I would arrange for you to stay in the 1st floor room, but this time many students have too many needs in the dormitory so they can't stay on the 1st floor. This is your room, room 204, okay? Just go up one floor, as exercise, you ask the administrators to rearrange your room." Drusilla smiled kindly at me.

"You can stay in any room, as long as you're close to me, your dorm is in zone C, right?"

Hearing my question, Drusilla nodded slightly, she was quiet like that, but she loved and protected me very much. Although I couldn't be near her before, she still sent me gifts every holiday. I love my sister very much, maybe because besides Aunt Alice, she is the person closest to me and maybe she resembles my mother..

"WHAT! last time it was clearly room 204, why change it to 304 now?" asked Drusilla gruffly.

"This is just the administrator's opinion, due to the increased demand for students to stay in the dormitory, every case is special, and Ms. Linh's sister has just signed up, so the school has to arrange it like that. Ms. Grace, hope You understand us," said Ms. Tanphil, the dormitory manager.

"You also know that my brother has just been treated for his eyesight, climbing the stairs is also extremely difficult, let alone walking in a straight line, if you want to push my brother to an empty room, tell me, how much money you get, don't tell me I don't know. Besides, there are people in room 304.." , Drusilla was silent for a while, "I don't care, my sister has to stay in room 204."

"Miss Grace, please be careful with your words, out of respect for you as a teacher in the school, your sister only has one foot in the dormitory. I have worked here for more than twenty years, scary things are okay. It's just a rumour, and there's a lot of big sisters in room 304 that's fine." Miss Tanphil was furious, her face red.

I felt that if I continued like this, there would be a big war, I quickly pulled Drusilla's sleeve and told me to go anywhere, no matter what. Drusilla threw her hair to show her anger and then went to the third floor with Ms. Hang to check in. As soon as I walked up to the third floor, my eyes hurt terribly, I quickly grabbed my eyes. Drusilla saw this and sat down and asked if I was okay. At that time, my mind was dizzy, my eyes gradually flowered:

- A PLACE DEATH..

I mumbled a few sentences, then I felt completely relieved, I turned to look at my sister, now the person I see is not my sister but a girl's face, this face looks very familiar, I'm sure I did, I've seen it somewhere but can't remember. Miss Tanphil, when she heard me say a few words like that, her eyes turned pale and she couldn't say any more, she gave the room key to my sister and quickly left the third floor. As for my sister, still confused and scared, she asked me repeatedly, but all I could hear in my head was Giselle's voice: "Wake up Thalia". I woke up, like I just got out of a dream, now everything has returned to the way it was, seeing her so worried I had to tell her that it was okay to make her feel secure. She cursed a few words and then led me to room 304.

Room 304 also has two other sisters living together. One sister in 12th grade is named Jane Stoll, and the other in 11th grade is named Louise Tetter. Sister Louise seems to be a bit difficult, but actually she really cares about me, and when she meets me, Jane asks me all kinds of things, as if she has been close for a long time. Seeing Ms. Drusilla, they bowed their heads, Ms. Drusilla asked them to take care of me, both eagerly "yes", making Drusilla somewhat reassured..

I remember I slept, slept very well since having lunch with the sisters. When I opened my eyes, it was already dark and the sisters had gone somewhere, I thought to myself that I slept like a pig on the first day, and then reminded myself to go and prepare my notebook for tomorrow's class. I laughed to myself, it's not my first time going to school, but I feel extremely nervous, I will have new teachers, new friends. Taking a deep breath, I quickly got out of bed.

"It's too late for you to return to the dorm at this time, Elsa, old lady Tanphil isn't yelling at you."

The whispering voices in the hallway sounded really funny, probably because it was late, Ms. Tanphil would yell at her friends to come back late, but now the two sisters in the room still haven't come back, I chuckled to myself, I'm sure they'll be yelled at shortly. that see.

"I'm not afraid of that old lady Tanphil, my father gave her a few dollars and she shut her mouth." ,The voice of a girl named Elsa echoed throughout the corridor.

The door to room 304 opened, and the girl named Elsa walked in. Indeed a young, beautiful girl, but as soon as she entered the room to see me, Elsa hurriedly shouted, I panicked, was about to explain, but discovered that the scene where I was standing had changed. In front of me is still the same room, but Elsa, she was hanging from the ceiling, she kept calling for help in vain but no one came to help her, the music sounded..Boom.. Boom. Thunder boomed in the sky, Elsa in front of me was no longer beautiful, but a dry corpse, eyes wide open. I cried out in despair, hoping someone would come to my aid. The space around here seems to be only me, I feel suffocated, then suddenly a hand grabs mine:

"Thalia, it's okay, it's okay." Louise's voice came with a worried look on her face.

"You.. Did you just dream?" ,I asked like a fool

Both sisters laughed, said I was a stupid baby, said that I slept with my arms and legs moving around and then cried for help, making them both startled. Seeing the two sisters laugh, I also laughed, I feel very lucky to be in the same room with the two sisters.

"Go take a shower, there are very few people bathing at this time, you can go and save a clean room" ,Sister Jane sneered, "Come quickly here, I'll give you mango, just bought, very sour, very good."

I said yes, then grabbed my clothes to take a shower. The cool water that rushed into my body made me feel so much better after a long, scary dream. Will I have to deal with this often? I thought to myself but then shook my head, I promised anyway, never mind, come wherever. After taking a bath, I felt like I had relieved a part of my burden, thinking about Jane's sour mango dish made me so hungry that I could drool out.

"Aren't you afraid?" ,a voice from outside the hallway made me jump.

I looked around but didn't see it, I must have heard it wrong, then the voice sounded again, accompanied by the figure of a guy.

"I think you should turn around, keep going like that, you won't lose your life like a game. This is good advice."

"Who are you, I met you at the hospital and you also call me.."

"Giselle Willinos, that's right, you have Giselle's eyes that I almost misread. Oh yeah, I'm a bit rude, let me introduce myself briefly: I'm Jacob Stoll, Giselle's boyfriend."

I suddenly blushed slightly, so the handsome guy I met at the hospital is Giselle's boyfriend. What I didn't expect the most was that he followed me because I had Giselle's eyes, what a lovely guy.

"I.. I know it's impolite, but I know you're not a living person. Why can't you just hang around?" ,I asked, but I was beginning to feel stupid.

Jacob sighed, his eyes a little sad: "I DIE.. DIE BECAUSE OF THAT CURSE.."
