Poltergeist

Hi, I’m Jwala from India. I’m a friendly ghost in human form. I’ve been sent by the good spirits to take a look at the cruel world. They told me that I’m not special, I’m just a trial. They have given me instructions but given me slight freedom to not ALWAYS stay by those rules but to be normal and free.

I am sent to class X and I was a bit (actually a lot) nervous. I introduced myself to the class and sat beside a boy named Jane Shae. Jane was very friendly. But he always warned me about the bullies, first and the most dangerous one being Sam, the daughter of a rich and powerful criminal, Andrew, her boyfriend, and Nathan, her brother. Nathan and Andrew were very violent, again, just like Sam. Once all three of them came to me. Sam was very straightforward. She came to me and said “Nathan wants your number.” I could see Nathan blush. He punched Sam in the arm and I giggled a bit. But I refused. Of course I would. Then that shy Nathan turned into a Sad Nathan. Sam immediately held my collar and said “YOU BRAT! You said no to MY brother. You will regret it.” She gave a smirk and went. From then no one ever included me in anything. I didn’t care about that. I’m a good ghost.

I went to the washroom. I saw Sam. I tried not to look at her. But unfortunately she held my neck and pushed me to the floor. I looked at my injured knee and she looked at it too. She kicked me on the wound with her spiked shoes and I screamed. She held me by the neck again and threw me to the floor, harder this time. Her evil smile was scary. I had an injury on my head and I had started crying by then. When I said this to Jane he said “Hey, Jwala, I have something to tell you...” and he continued “Even I was bullied. Andrew and Nathan have done a lot to me. They used to hit me a lot. I still get bullied sometimes. They bring lighters, and even knives to school.” I asked, “Teachers?” My voice was shivering. “Teachers? No use in this school. I’ve tried. Sam gives them money for not saying anything.” He replied with tears in his eyes.
From then onwards Sam bullied me a lot. I was mentally and emotionally disturbed. I used to spend my day staring at the walls most of the time. I hardly ate anything. Sam used to bring lighters and she burnt my watch once. She broke my phone and used to hit me with sticks.
I had thoughts of taking over the world. I was in a deep depression.
I had a black mark on my wrist. I hid it by wearing full sleeve clothes. It started spreading. I hid it well. But then it took over my whole body. I started staying at home from then, the negativity in my mind increasing day by day. I had stopped sleeping. Then suddenly, one day I don’t know what forced me to go to school. I went to school that day and Jane was shocked to see me. I quietly sat beside him and he didn’t speak a word. Sam came up to me and tried to lift me up by the neck. I didn’t know why she couldn’t lift me up. Was I so heavy! She tried to hit me. But until I could say anything, I found myself punching SAM! No way I did that. She went away and I sat down quietly again. I started the conversation with Jane and said, “Why aren’t you talking to me?”
“Your... your skin!”
“It's just because of bullies in my society.” I lied, and then continued “It’s just paint. Don’t worry.” And gave a fake smile. “Can we bunk school today? Please...” I added.
“But what if...”
“I won’t let you get caught.” I said.
We bunked school that day.
I thought I could trust Jane, but my instinct said no. That was the reason I lied about the paint.
I was average in studies. So I had no point of studying
One day, the black thing took over me. I felt intense heat in my body. My whole body was in pain. It was torture. I felt dizzy. The next time I woke up I saw the same thing, my home and the ceiling. I felt... Different. I went to the mirror and looked at myself. I looked... different. I looked stronger, and I HAD RED EYES! and I felt... something I never did before, the feeling of revenge. I started staying home.
A few weeks later, I started executing my revenge plans. I started with Sam. I went to school disguised as a teacher. I took Sam out of the room and held her collar. I punched her, kicked her, and threw her at the ground like she had done. I gave the same smirk she had on her face before. She tried to defend herself but she couldn’t. I took her inside the class and started hitting her in front of the students. Next I called Nathan. I didn’t hit him as much as Sam. But it was pretty painful for him. Nathan was followed by Andrew. Andrew dared to speak and said, “WHY ME!” His voice was loud but a feel of scared emotion in it. I said, “Because you are related to Sam.” And before he could say anything I started beating him up. I didn’t call Jane. I needed to think about that. I mentally started controlling everyone in the class. But let go of Jane everytime. Jane used to look at this silently. Once, he just came to me and said, “m..mam, I..I’m.. s.. so..sorry to ask for this but, why... don’t y... you do anything to me?”
“Come out of the room Jane.”
“Madam I’m sorry. Please, please let me go.”
“JANE COME OUT OF THE ROOM!”
“Okay madam” he agreed with tears in his eyes. I took off my hat, gloves, and mask. He instantly recognized me. “JWALA!?” He was shocked.
“I lied, Jane... I was a friendly ghost sent from the king of good spirits. Sam bullied me and my mind couldn’t handle it. I found myself in this condition yesterday. I still have a bit of good feelings for people who have helped me. But my goal is to have control over the world. So I’ll have to take over your parents’ minds too. I’m sorry. You can stay with me.”
We both hugged for a long time. I didn’t cry. I was used to everything negative, tears didn’t come out of my eyes. I started taking over the school, then the city, the whole America, then I aimed for the largest, Asia. I took over that too.
All 7 continents were mine. I went home once, and saw Jane. He was... dead.
That was it, I took a knife and stabbed it in my stomach. I was... dead now. I opened my eyes, I had forgotten I couldn’t suicide. I had black magic powers so I retrieved the soul of Jane. As soon as Jane woke up, I fell into his arms, and I... cried!
I scolded Jane for doing that. But he didn’t seem to be bothered by the scolding. I asked him if he was okay and he replied, “You cried for me? for ME? It's an achievement for me.” I wiped my tears, and made pizza for him that day. The world was functioning as it was, everything was fine, but I was supreme. Jane and I stayed together. The bad spirits worshiped me. The good spirits were scared of me. When Jane and I grew up, we married. It was the best event ever. We lived happily ever after with the world still with me.
