Chapitre 91: Different
Clara complied with Diana's request, the girl did not move until Diana finished painting her.
Diana's hands are so dexterous and skillful in drawing every detail of her painting.
"Ah, done," said Diana, breathing a sigh of relief.
"Clara, you know I haven't painted your face in a long time. But I think my abilities are much improved now," concluded Diana.
"Can I see it?" asked Clara.
"Oh of course!" answered Diana.
The girl handed Clara a piece of paper.
Slowly Clara looked at the paper carefully. And how surprised she was when she found out that Diana's painting was very different from what she had thought.
"Wh-why is the painting like this?!" asked Clara in a stuttering, high-pitched voice.
"Well, why is that?" Diana acted as if she didn't know anything.
Clara put the paper on the table roughly.
"Why don't you paint me when sitting down? And why do you even paint me falling down the stairs and bleeding like this?!" Clara protested with sharp eyes. Even the girl's eyeballs turned red with anger.
"Ah, wait a minute. Don't be angry, Clara. I can explain," said Diana, looking relaxed.
"What?!" snorted Clara.
"At first I wanted to paint you while sitting and smiling sweetly, but for some reason, my mind suddenly flashed when you fell down the stairs," concluded Diana.
"You must have done it on purpose, right?!" shrieked Clara.
"Oh, of course not, Clara, I'm sorry... do you still want to be my friend?" Diana asked with a face full of regret.
Clara didn't answer, the little ghost turned her face away. Then she disappeared from Diana's presence.
"Ah, it's hard to believe. It turns out that ghosts can get angry too, huh?" mumbled Diana with a faint smile.
Diana felt bad for hurting Clara's heart. But
he had no other choice. Maybe just by continuing to hurt Clara, the little ghost will leave her.
That same night, Diana immediately came out of her room and went to Arnold's house.
She was about to tell Arnold that she had managed to get Clara to leave her.
Even though Diana couldn't be sure if Clara left or would come back again.

"This is a good thing, Di. From now on, you are prepared to become the girl's enemy. That way she will no longer be able to use you," said Arnold.
"But, Uncle. What if she does more and more bad things to me because of her hatred?" Diana asked.
"You can fight it," Arnold replied.
"How to?" Diana asked again.
"Be stronger than her," said Arnold.
But Diana still didn't understand what she meant.
"I still don't understand, Uncle," said Diana.
"Di, make yourself believe that she is not real. And you must feel much stronger than her. Now you must always think logically. Keep your mind clear. Because she can possess you if you are weak." Arnold explained.
After talking with Arnold Diana went home.
And Arnold also gave Diana something to hold on to.
One bottle of water that has been given a spell, can be used to ward off ghosts.

The next morning, Clara woke up from sleep. In a messy room.
The trinkets and all the Halloween decorations still filled the room.
"Ah, damn it! I have to tidy up my room after this," said Diana. "Ah, but I'd better tidy it up later because today I have school,"
Diana began to change clothes and began to straighten her hair and apply makeup as needed.
The girl looked at herself in the mirror carefully. Then suddenly behind her was the shadow of a small child.
"Clara, is that you?" Diana asked.
And the ghost of the little boy began to manifest into a solid form.
"Are you coming again?" Diana asked pleasantly. And Clara nodded her head with a straight face.
"I thought you were mad at me, Clara. But you came back instead," Diana said with a smile.
Clara looked annoyed at Diana's words. The girl pursed her lips. "If you know I'm angry, why don't you apologize to me?" Clara protested. Diana put on a sad face. "I'm sorry Clara. I'm sorry for what I did last night. I wanted to apologize to you, it's just that you're already gone. I couldn't have chased you, could I?" Said Diana. Clara turned her face back but the little girl didn't want to fight with Diana, she still wanted to be friends like before.
Diana took this opportunity well, she pretended to apologize to Clara.
"Clara, one again, I'm sorry... do you still want to be friends with me?" Diana asked. Clara was silent for a moment then she nodded her head in response to Diana's question. "Thank you, Clara. You're still the same you always understood me and were always there for me ... can I ask you something again?" Said Diana.
"What do you want, Diana?" said Clara.
Diana looked closely at the little ghost's eyes, "Clara, can you always be there for me like you used to?"
"Of course, I will!" answered Clara firmly.
"Thanks in advance, Clara. Are you willing ... that from today onwards always accompany me?" Diana asked again. Clara answered with a nod of her head.
Then Diana started rushing off to school with Clara.
Of course, only Diana could see where Clara was. Other people can't see it. Diana deliberately asked Clara to go with her like before, because Diana wanted to show Clara how different Diana who right now from Diana before.
And while at school, Diana began to show her 180-degree different attitudes in front of Clara. Diana often chats with other friends, Diana talks about topics that are often discussed by teenagers her age. Even Diana also showed her closeness to her male friend named Jason.
Clara began to feel bored when she saw Diana was busier with her human friends than she was. Of course, the girl felt jealous because she was ignored.
Until one day when Diana was alone, Clara approached her.
"Diana, why are you not paying attention to me anymore?" asked Clara.
"Well, what's the matter? They're my friends. So I talk to them more often. After all, they're real, if I talk to you often, they'll think I'm weird!" answered Diana.
"But why don't you have any time for me?" asked Clara. "Weren't you the one who asked me to go back to being your friend again like before?" said Clara.
Diana was happy to hear Clara's question, this means that Clara is starting to get carried away with her game. And Diana firmly began to answer Clara's question.
"Clara, you should think again about being my friend," Diana said.
"Why are you talking to me like that?" asked Clara.
"It seems, our friendship will only harm each other," said Diana.
Of course, this made Clara feel disappointed and confused again. "Why are you ruining my happiness?" asked Clara again. This time with a face full of sadness.
"Clara, you and I are so different, you see I'm happier with my friends, and I can't touch you either. You're just like a shadow and sometimes even have a bad impact on me. So you better walk away from me and don't think of me as a friend. your childhood again," concluded Diana.
Clara was really angry to hear Diana's words, she felt had been played by the girl.
Diana herself asked her to be her friend again, and that made Clara feel comfortable again, but Diana even deliberately wanted to end their friendship.
Clara can't accept Diana's treatment.
"Okay, I think you are right. From this second I also feel that you are no longer the good Diana you used to be. You have changed a lot!" said Clara in a high-pitched voice.
"I'm sorry... but you must go away, Clara. We had no other choice. Our worlds are different!" Diana said.
"What?" Clara said with a high voice, "Okay, I see!" Clara smiled sarcastically.
"I will go but you must accept my punishment!" Clara threatened.
The little ghost had already begun to take steps to attack Diana.
But Diana took out a water bottle from Arnold yesterday.
Immediately Clara felt pain and heat when the splash of water hit her small body.
"What is this?! Ah... it hurts!" shrieked Clara.
"I have a lot of things like this, and I would use this if a ghost like you wanted to harm me," Diana said.
Clara burst into tears, frightened, and she disappeared from Diana's presence.
From that day on, Clara didn't show up to see Diana again. She was disappointed and scared at the same time. Diana is no longer a friend who makes her feel comfortable, but someone who makes her suffer.
