As I run, the sepia photograph comes to mind. The clothes the patients wore—the white shirt and black pants—are what Will always wears. He doesn’t dress like anyone else I know. When he asked me what a phone was, I thought he was kidding. I’ve never had class with him, and I’ve never seen him interact with anyone else. He never actually told me he was Will Poynter. I just assumed so when I heard others talking about him.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYpgOVDQz3

The truth is, maybe something always felt a little off. Maybe I just ignored it because he matters too much to me.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkqNLc7zPx

I throw my weight against the heavy ash doors. The air is misty, fresh and smelling of earth. He isn’t by the ponds. I even check between the reeds, as though he could be hiding there and waiting for me. My shoes stick in the mud. Marsh water splashes onto my ankles.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWHTak3OaK

“Will!” I cry, knowing how crazy it makes me look but not caring. “Will!”720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHBDKVJBNs

Will’s a patient in a psychiatric hospital in the 1920s. This means he’s either a lunatic or a psychic. It also means I’ve been talking to my very own ghost. Is it possible, though, that he could have held my hand and touched my hair? I remember Jen’s neck with its hand-shaped bruise.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcFKJwX5Hl

“Will!” I yell again, reaching the crabapple tree. A trio of younger students passing underneath shoots me strange glances.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1b0PQN4Ee

I can’t bring myself to care if he’s a lunatic or a psychic. He’s still Will, and that’s all that matters to me right now. That’s when I remember the camellias, and I take off, trying not to notice the sun getting lower in the sky.720Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡie04Crg2ID
