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.767Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQvweF0taf

The truth is, maybe something always felt a little off. Maybe I just ignored it because he matters too much to me.767Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyaKDqx2tL

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.767Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieWlNZbqRY

“Will!” I cry, knowing how crazy it makes me look but not caring. “Will!”767Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokrpFI3kBA

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.767Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ448Ksbg5h4

“Will!” I yell again, reaching the crabapple tree. A trio of younger students passing underneath shoots me strange glances.767Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmFZ7yjGQo

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.767Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRIOLixVHe
