I was on my second year in Technical Institute when I experience this, which I considered as the most weird and unexplanable story. Most of the students in the Technical Institute lived in the hostel which is located in the schools compound. Our rules in the Technical Institute are quite strict, everything goes according to the time. We had our dinner every night at exactly 7:00pm and goes to prep (studying) at 8:00 until 10:00pm. Since our hostel is just a few footsteps from the school, we use the first block of our school for our prep. No one is suppose to be in the hostels compound during prep hour. But as teenagers, we tend to accept that rules are made to be broken.

It was approximately at 9:00 pm, five of us were sitting in our dorm, chit-chatting away in the dark (no lights was on, of course, no one suppose to be there!) when suddenly one of my friend, Niza wanted to go to the toilet. Niza is popularly known as the girl who is easily get scared. She ask me to accompany her to the toilet, which is down the corridor. I did, knowing that she will keep begging me to do so if I didnt. Everyone else just pretend that they did not hear her.

So, I went with her and waiting for her at the corridor. I was standing there at the corridor when suddenly I saw a girl walking towards me. I have never seen her before, probably she is our junior. I ask her who is she. She told me that her name is Sarah. She is from class Four Mechanical One and from dorm 5T. One funny thing I notice is that she is wearing her school uniform. Just when Im about to ask her why, I heard a door banging noise coming from the toilet. I turned my head facing the toilet and saw Niza was on her way out. When I turn my head back to Sarah, the girl was no longer there!. That was fast, I though. When Niza came out, I told her what happened. She started to freak out and running back to our dorm.

When we reach our dorm, I told the story to the rest of our friends. One of them, Mimi, was very surprise when I mentioned that the girl was from dorm 5T. "Are you sure?" she ask and I said that Im absolutely sure and mentioned that the girls name is Sarah. Mimi reply with a funny look on her face, "as far as I know, dorm 5T is our store, right ?". At this moment, we all looked at each other, dare not to say anything. Probably you misheard what she saying. Maybe she is from dorm 5D" Niza said, probably trying to make everyone feel better, and it works. "Yeah, you are right, lets forget about it" Mimi said. Everybody agreed, but I still have that thing in my mind. Why is she in her school uniform at night, and why she said she is from dorm 5T. I know what I heard and intent to investigate the matter the next morning.

The next morning, I went straight to class Four Mechanical One trying to look for that girl. I asked one of the student in that class and her answer was very surprising. There is no one in that class by the name of Sarah! I start to have this uneasy feeling. I walk slowly back to my class. I saw Niza and told her what happened. "Are you still on this case?" she asked. "Come on ruby, forget it. You probably misheard her." Im sure not.

After school that day I went to see the security guard of our hostel. We call him Uncle Bob. He has been working with the hostel for a very long time, thats what I heard. When I told him the story, he look at me in a very funny way. He lit his cigarette and start telling me this story. About ten years ago, there was one junior girl by the name of Sarah join the school. She stayed in dorm 5T. She is a very quiet, nice and not to forget beautiful girl. She had a lot of admirers. But she is always nice to everybody. One day, she was found dead, hanging herself in the dorm. Everybody was shocked. After the post-mortem they found out that she was two months pregnant, and thats the reason she killed herself. During the police investigation, they found a diary belong to Sarah. Its written that she was rape by one of the teacher, who happened to be dead two days after Sarahs funeral. Ever since that, dorm 5T has been used as the store.

I looked at Uncle Bob in amaze. But until today, I still cant figure out why she came to see me. One thing for sure I never miss my prep after that.

Well.. thats all guys. Hope you enjoyed it.
