The Other World ;
Chapter 1 ; Jace Cafe.
"As usual girls?" Mrs Jace`s voice boomed through the long slippery dinning place filled with white marble floor and brown.
Pauline and I nodded our heads in agreement and followed by a long huge sigh,not knowing the reason.
Pauline`s black and straight hair started to grew strains of pure white hair.
Her glimmering eyes seems to look exceptionally dull and lifeless,unlike before.
Ted had been missing for the past few days.
He just dissapeared right after the school`s sports day.
The Ted we knew is so friendly and kind. He mixes with us after school in Jace Cafe.
Pauline and Ted were my best friends in secondary school.
Being an O level student, we usually slacked at Jace Cafe, not forgetting , we studied togetheir.
It was pretty obvious Pauline has feelings for Ted but she said nothing about it.
I ever hinted Ted about Pauline treating him well but he seem to be so unsensitive.
Now Ted`s gone,Pauline started regretting her choice.
I watched as Pauline finish her milk shake and looked at her handphone.
"So...Ted have not smsed or call you...?"
I asked.
"No... Not at all... i wonder where he went. It`s been days..."
Pauline said with her voice, ready to cry out.
"Maybe...he have to go somewhere very urgently...Since it`s the school holidays now..."
I tried my best to comfort her.
"It cant be. Ted still contacted me during the holidays last week! He just stop smsing or calling me 3 days ago..."
She lows herself down.
"Well, maybe he lost his phone?"
Again and again. i tried.
"He could look us up! Dont forget he just lives one block away from him."
Again, she brings herself down.
"We could look him up then...?"
i asked, not knowing what i was talking about.
"I did. But no one is home."
3rd time she brings herself down.
"His parents?"
I said. withought thinking.
"Eiva! Dont ask silly questions! Dont you know he lives by himself?! His parents passed away long time ago!"
Thats what you get for saying something wrong.
"Woops. sorry i forgot.Maybe i was too worried for Ted."
Apologetic.
We both footed the bill and walked out of Jace Cafe.
As we were walking out, we saw the "Friendship" board.
It was a place the Cafe puts pictures of regular customers.
we 3 were in it.3 of us smiling so wide.
Pauline broke down all of a sudden and i had to sacrifice my shirt.
I guess thats what friends are for.
She cooled down 5 mins later and i was hugging her.
And finally, she faced the truth of Ted`s dissapearence and said,
"I shall find Ted.I know i will.Lets get it started.The first thing we have to do is recall when Ted was last seen"
I was shocked.
Pauline is someone i know to be a frail girl with no decisions.
A person who gives up easily.A girl who has low self esteem. (oops!)
The Pauline i knew no longer exist.
I can feel that she changed to become a stronger victim.Victim of the earth.
