Here comes the lunch break, Jessa is looking for Antonette to apologize for what she did. She has asked many people, but they don't know. She has almost searched the entire school, but she hasn't found her. She decided to go to the canteen.
"Antonette, why did you take so long? We've been waiting for you!" Camille asked as Jessa sat down.
"I was looking for..."
"The stalker?" Manang Maria (also known as Aling Maria) interrupted.
"Manang, just give me some pansit. Don't bother me, my mind is already in chaos," Jessa replied.
Manang was stunned, she sense something thst troubling Jessa
"What happened friend? You seem really upset. Just relax," commented Camille.
"Have you followed my advice?" Kathy asked.
"Not yet. I still haven't found anything," Jessa answered.
"What am I missing?" Camille asked, puzzled.
Rona (Manang's daughter) brought the pansit that Jessa ordered to the table and then she quickly left.
"Maybe it's better to text you there are too many gossipers here," Kathy said to Camille.
Camille's phone immediately buzzed, and she read the message. "Ah, that explains it," she said after reading.
"Jessa, what serious problem are you facing now?" Camille added.
Sunshine, the English instructor, arrived at the canteen. She approached Jessa's table.
"Miss Fuentes, does your student Rowena have a difficult problem? Do you know anything about her?" Sunshine asked Jessa, sounding like an investigator.
"Oh, we should be asking you about this," Kathy interrupted.
"You were there when the incident happened," Jessa replied.
"Me? I was in front of them, lecturing. Then Rowena looked very scared, fell from her chair, and collapsed on the floor unconscious," explained Sunshine.
"I just came looking for you to clarify," she added and walked away.
"I'm getting a headache," Camille joked.
"I also have a classmate who fainted and is still in the hospital, unable to speak," Rona said while clearing their table.
"Ma'ams, what if they saw a ghost, and that's why they fainted?" Rona asked the teachers.
"Impossible, ghosts aren't real. They only exist in movies," Kathy replied.
"Yeah, I thought so" Rona exclaimed.
"Ghosts are real" Jessa told them.
Manang Maria wanted to mention who gave her the number earlier, but she was too busy to do so since she has a lot of customers to attend.
As they left the canteen, Jessa remembered that she had given the white rose to Rowena before the flag ceremony. She had given it back to her after the flag ceremony when she saw it on her table again.
"Could it be the white rose that cause all of this?" She asks herself then went back to the canteen to look for Rona.
"Ma'am, you are back. What else do you want?" Rona was surprise to see Jessa coming back to the canteen after she ate all the pansit she ordered.
"I came here this time just to ask you something" Jessa replied.
"What could that be?" Rona sighed.
"Do you know who is the other student that fainted aside from Rowena today?" Jessa asked.
"Yes, ma'am he is my classmate so I know it." Answered Rona.
" I know you are classmates it's why I'm here. What I mean is did you see anything wrong with him before he fainted?"
"No ma'am, I'm seated in front while he was seated at the back so there's no way I'll be seeing what is happening to him." Rona explained.
"So, he just remain seated all the time?" Jessa asked again wanted to clarify something.
"Of course not, I remember our teacher scolded him before he fainted." Rona said.
"Then, why did your teacher scolded him for?" Ask Jessa again.
"He just went outside while the class was still going on, he explained that some senior student asks her to give a white rose to a teacher"
Jessa was terrified upon hearing this. Rona saw that startled look on the teacher.
"Are you ok ma'am?" She asked.
"I'm ok, I have to go now." Jessa answered.
Was Jessa was walking her way out of the canteen she was thinking about the student who gave her the white rose. But the most mysterious about it, "Who could be behind all this? Who is that senior student who is asking him to give me the flower?" Jessa thought.
All of a sudden, Jessa has many things to take care of now. Why is this happening now? I am really curse? She also can't help thinking about the inccedent in the stairs. She almost fall because someone unseen had push her but another unseen save her. What is going on? Am I haunted? Are there really ghosts guarding me day and night? Could that even be possible? Should I come to the spiritist with Carl's mom?
She has so many questions left unanswered. Jessa wants answers now, but she don't care about this secret admirers she have now. She just feels something is weird about that white rose, something extra-ordinary.
Then she remembers again that day she breaks up with her relationship to Romnick and was forcing her to accept his gift which is a white rose and Romnick didn't easily gives up even when she was having a relationship with Jefferson already yet he was still begging to accept his last gift saying the flower was not ordinary.
"This flower is extra-ordinary, just please accept it. This is my love for you is like. It is undying. It will remain forever and will not decay. It won't wither. It will remains fresh." Those are the voice of Romnick echoing on Jessa's mind.
Then, Jessa heared a familiar voice calling her.
"Jessa! Jessa! Jessa! Wake up!"
It was the voice of Kathy.
Jessa opened her eyes and realized she was lying on top of a vacant table in the canteen.
"What happened? Why I am here? What is going on?" Jessa was confused. She was also feeling awkward and embarass so she immediately got out of the table and stand up. She knows she was out of the canteen a while ago but now she is lying inside on one of the tables here.
"You fainted just outside the canteen a while ago. Students brought you here and we are just about to call an ambulance but you wake up." Kathy explained.
"What?" Jessa could not believe it.
"She is not telling a lie" Manang told Jessa.
"Infact many students saw you fainted so they carried you inside. So I advice you to balance your time and not overwork your body. Even machines needs to take some rest, you know what I mean."
"That is right I agree with what Manang said." Kathy agreed.
"Thank you," Jessa answered. "Don't worry much, I can handle it" then Jessa walk away.
Kathy walk beside her and clarify, "Are you sure you are ok?"
"I'm alright, I'm fine don't worry" Jessa answered.
Beside them , a ghost unseen to everybody was also following and this is Romnick.
"That is right Jessa. You must know I never leave you. I am still here for you, still loving you. You should remember the flower right? I will prove for you that my love stays forever, it is eternal and undying. Jessa you should only belongs to me and no other because I am the greatest fan of your life" Romnick said to himself.
