Jessica was sitting next to me and crying. I was trying to understand what had happened to her, but I couldn't. She didn't want to say anything. Then the telephone rang and I answered it. It was Merry, Jessica's best friend. She asked for her, but Jessica didn't want to answer. I told her about what was happening and she came immediately. Jessica was still sitting with the tears in her eyes. Merry put her hand on Jessica's shoulder and didn't say anything. She started crying, too. I was totally confused. They didn't exchange any words and they completely understood each other. I asked myself if I were a human. How come I couldn't get what it is all about. "What did I miss?" I asked, but they didn't answer. I realised that it is better to leave them alone than sit and wonder. I went outside the house and saw Jake who was passing by. I joined him and we went to the nearby playground. There were a lot of people there playing basketball. Nobody noticed us. We waved our hands to some girls from the neighbourhood and they said "Hi Jake!", but didn't mention my name. I was even more confused. What is happening for the god's sake? Nobody is noticing me. I didn't want to say anything to Jake. I didn't have will to play basketball, either, so I went home. When I arrived home, I looked at the mirror and I couldn't see myself. That was really scary. I finally realised that people don't see me at all. Why? It wasn't like that yesterday. Everybody was talking to me and saying hello. I was desperate. I went to bed and fell asleep. The next morning I woke up late. I went to the bathroom and looked at the mirror. To my surprise I could see myself clearly. What happened yesterday? I still don't know. It might have been some bad dream. |
