THEATER AND CINEMA SCHOOL DORMITORY

Room 411 is located on the 4th floor of the University of Theater and Cinema dormitory. The day Duong came to stay, his friends told him not to because that room had many mysterious things that were difficult to understand. Duong just laughed, considered it a joke and kept moving his things up there.

Trieu Thi Mai Duong - full name is quite long so friends just call her Duong - from Nghe An, student of screenwriting department, University of Theater and Cinema. Yang is straightforward and impulsive, but can play around.

Room 411 is the only room on the 4th floor that is occupied. Mai Duong was the only one, so she was a bit hesitant. Wear. She thought, ghosts only dare to play tricks on weak people, but Duong... even ghosts should be afraid. And she laughed...

The first night passed without anything strange. Duong became even more confident. The next day, in class, Duong told his friends:

- There are no ghosts.

Friends say:

- It's not time yet.

"It's not time yet"? Duong is the class vice president, he has to do everything right away. Duong hates people the most who say "it's not time" or "tomorrow". The fact that Lam and Phan, two students in the filming class, refused to put away the incense bowl left in the classroom made Duong angry. Duong told Quach, Duong's friend, to put the incense bowls in the props room. Quach stuck out his tongue and cried, "Very disgusting!". Duong said:

- This is a fake incense bowl used for the actor class to study only.

In the end, only Duong carries it. The more she thought, the more angry she became with Lam and Phan.

That afternoon, at the union branch meeting, Duong harshly criticized Lam and Phan for lacking a sense of responsibility. Lam and Phan blushed deeply. Duong wears. Just say it. Class, not a market. But the market must also have old rules.

Night. Duong has just finished writing a new script based on the short story "The Memory Jar". Go to bed at 12 o'clock.

After a while, I heard a knock on the door. Duong stood up and asked who? Didn't hear a reply. Only the knocking became more intense. Duong opened the door. Duong almost fainted when he saw the steaming bowl of incense placed in the hallway and the towel hanging around. Duong slammed the door shut, his heart felt like it was about to shoot out of his chest. Sitting for a moment to calm down, Duong thought of Lam and Phan. Duong opened the door. The incense bowl and towel disappeared, leaving only a girl standing in the hallway. The girl grinned at Duong. Doubtful, Duong said:

- Who are you?

Girl:

- I am a student of the acting department. I'm in room 410.

Duong is half-believing and half-skeptical:

- There's no one on the 4th floor except me?

Girl:

- Just kidding, I don't have a house to live in. I know there's no one on the 4th floor, so I hide here to sleep every night.

- Ah, that's it! Well, you go into my room and lie down. It's a dark night, it's foggy out there!

The girl was happy:

- Oh, is it true?

Duong nodded and opened the door wider. The girl hurried in. Duong forgot about the incense bowl and the towel.

The girl's name is Trang, last name is Dao, 18 years old, from Moc Chau, she came here to take the University of Theater and Cinema exam, majoring in acting, but missed half a point, and is still waiting to see if she can recheck. The reason why the girl doesn't have a house to live in is because she lost all her money. She sold the ring, only enough money to eat every day, and at night she still went to the 4th floor of the school dormitory to sleep in empty rooms. That's all the girl named Trang told Duong.

Duong gave his blanket to Trang and asked:

- Do you know if there are ghosts on the 4th floor? Duong's friends said that at night, on the 4th floor, there was a girl in a white shirt walking around with her hair down.

- I know. I also heard that the ghost often snatches people's blankets and sings.

- So Trang is not afraid?

- Are not! That ghost is a good ghost. It's very funny. Aren't you afraid too?

- Are not! Duong doesn't believe there are ghosts!

- It's true, sister! I talk to him all the time.

- Well, don't joke like that! You're not a child to believe that.

- Oh, I'm telling the truth!

Duong laughed:

- Go to bed. Tomorrow I still have the Light Sensation class, Mr. Kim Son, which is very scary. If you come late, the teacher won't let you into class.

- Just like Ms. Thuy teaches film editing.

- Does Trang know Ms. Thuy?

- I know! Tomorrow, I'll ask Ms. Thuy to see if she still remembers me.

Just then, there was a knock on the door. Duong angrily walked out. Open door. Lam and Phan stood scratching their heads:

- Sorry ma'am!

Duong said:

- I know you guys are joking. Threatening me, I'd rather go home and scare my knees.

Phan laughed awkwardly:

- Yes, she is not afraid. But please let us have the incense bowl and towel back so we can return the props to the acting department.

Duong said:

- Who took it! I don't keep it.

Lam Ky odds:

- Okay, let's say we're sorry. You pay so we can pay others.

Duong is upset:

- I told you not to take it!

Phan sighed:

- She wants us to pay for it. Come on Lam, let's go. Girls are terrible!

Duong was upset:

- I swear I didn't take it.

Lam is also impatient:

- If you don't take it, who will? There's only her left on the 4th floor, could it be that a ghost carried it away?

Duong suddenly remembered Trang, Duong turned back.

- Page! Did Trang take the incense bowl and towel from the hallway?

Trang shrugged:

- Are not! Don't you know?

Lam and Phan looked at Duong.

- Who are you talking to?

Duong pointed to Trang:

- With Trang.

Lam looked into the room:

- Why is there anyone?

Phan continued:

- It's just me, Lam and grandma here.

Duong held Trang's hand and pulled her out:

- This! This page is here. Are you guys blind?

Lam and Phan were confused:

- Positive! Is Duong okay? Did we joke too much just now and make Duong panic?

Duong was upset:

- I...

Trang said:

- They can't see you.

Duong was stunned. Trang bowed her head:

- I'm...a ghost.

Duong shouted:

- Are not!

And Duong ran away...

Duong moved to another room. Getting sick took a week. Ms. Thuy also came to visit. Duong held her hand and asked urgently:

- Miss! Do you know anyone named Dao Trang, from Moc Chau?

Ms. Thuy frowned for a moment and then spoke up.

- Is it Trang who often goes with Lam and Phan to filming classes? Cai Trang is in the acting class and is a close friend of Lam and Phan. They are very mischievous. Just now, they caused a terrible stir in Hoa's 3rd screenwriting class.

-...

Duong suddenly burst out laughing. Outside, Lam and Phan were hesitantly walking in, looking very remorseful. Duong turned to face the wall...
