Excerpt from the novel:

I see one as I walk down the hallway. The head is slightly bowed. The hair covers the face. It wears a black dress which seems to haze at the bottom. It does not look up at me as I pass. No one else seems to see it. Only I can. It is invisible to everyone but me.    
    It suddenly looks up. Its face is ashy pale. I cannot see its eyes because they are covered by its greasy bangs, but I can tell it is looking directly at me. I can feel its dark, hollow eyes on me. No one else is looking at me or seems to notice me. Only it notices me. I am invisible to all but it.
    Someone pushes me into a locker. I look back to find it, but it is gone. It has just vanished into the crowd. The kid who pushed me didn’t even say sorry. It’s like I don’t even exist.
