P. S. I don't own the ghost bird series

I pulled at my blue shirt as I walked down the crowded hall of Ashley Waters. I made my way to the cafeteria where I could sit and wait for the bell to ring. I wonder if anyone I know goes here, I thought. I got to the door of the cafeteria and my line of sight was cut off by all the students. But the courtyard was fairly empty. As I started to make my way over, what felt like a brick wall, knocked me over from behind.

"Sorry, I didn't see you there," said a deep voice that sounded familiar. He stuck out his hand to help me up.

"It's my fault for standing in the way," I say, taking his hand and looking up, "Silas?" Silas looked at me with confusion when I said his name. In an instant recognition set in his face.

"Oh my God. Sam? What are you doing here?" He asked slightly happy to see me.

"I just moved here from Greece. We moved back into our old house after a month in Italy. I wanted to call you but I dropped my phone in a creek," I explained happily.

"Where are you living now?" He asked. Gosh, he just saw his old friend and all he can do is ask me questions? Geez.

"I'm living downtown with my soon to be step-mother and step-brother," I say exasperated.

"I have some friends who live that way. I could ask them to give you a ride, if you want," he says.

"If you think it won't be to much trouble."

We start walking toward the glass doors. I was gonna go this way anyway, I thought, ironically. Through the corner of my eye, I could see people turning and starring, but I ignored then. Silas held the door open for me, and started to walk over to a group of boys when I stopped. Is that...

I turn to Silas, and hold a finger over my lips, then pointed to the group. Silas nodded and grinned. I started to take a different route to where he was standing. Silas continued as if nothing was going to happen. I snuck around untill I was right behind him. I wrapped my arms around his shoulders.

"North," I purred in his ear.

His arms shot up and grabbed my ears, bending to pull me over his head. As I was parallel to the ground, my legs shot to the ground. I grabbed his ears as I was half-way standing, flinging he over my head. he landed with a thump in a heap on the ground. I moved my hair out of my face and smiled at him gasping for air on the ground. He looked at my face with an angry expression. Silas offered him a hand but he just stared at me.

"What, North? You don't know a ghost when you see one?" I joked kicking him lightly.

He finally took Silas' hand to help him up. Silas grunted, pulling him up. He's changed so much I hardly knew it was him. Lucky for me, his hair is still the same as it was 6 years ago. As he dusted himself off, he was still frowning at me.

"Are you really looking at me like that? I can't believe this! The guy I thought knew me best doesn't even remember me! This is outrageous!" I yelled in his face.

"The only girl I knew best moved to Italy to be a model and left me and Silas behind," he yelled back, surprising me.

"I didn't know you felt that way," I mumbled, taking a step back. I looked down. I can't let him get to me. I can't. Remember your training. Do NOT let-

"Hey. Hey, are you okay?" the blond kid asked.

I nodded. A tear escapes my eye, and rolls down my cheek. I quickly wipe it away, because I can't let them figure it out. I turned away from all of them, pause for a second, then bolt toward the school doors.

"Sam! Wait!" Silas called after me.

I stopped at the door, turned around, and walked back to the group. I pulled the piece of paper out of my pocket and handed it to the boy with the piercings. I calmly walked back to the door, only this time, I don't stop. Not for any of their shouts or calls.

Me: Yay! First chapter! So excited!

Sam: Why do I have to do the hard work?

The blond kid: Why am I "the blond kid"? Also, why is the story so short?

Me: Whoa whoa. one at a time. First off, Sam, it's a secret. Second off, because Sam doesn't know who you are yet and it's the first chapter, of my first story give me a break!

The blond kid: Ok ok geez. No need to get upset.
