Disclaimer: Sadly, I don't own Ghost hunt, Only Lanka.

"Do you want to play with me?" I asked.

"I'm sorry, but we don't want to."

"Why?" I asked.

"Because our mom said that you are a bad luck and danger magnet."

"But, I'm not!" I exclaimed.

"Let's get going." With that, they walked away.

"Oh look, it's that girl..."

"Huh?" I looked back to see two girls from peach class.

"Mom said that she's different from the rest of us."

"Yeah, she was revived from the dead."

"My mommy said that she was murdered last year, but she's somehow here."

"Let's go, she's staring at us."

Why can't they just be quiet. Everyone says that I'm different, but I'm not. I'm just like everyone else. People think I was murdered, but it was a girl that looked like me. Why can't they just be quiet?

I walked home and ran when I was halfway home. I unlocked the door to see no one home. Looks like they're not home yet. I closed and locked the door after. I dropped my bag on the floor and went to my room. I changed into a blue skirt and pink tank top. I ran to the backyard and played on the swing set.

"Ah! Lanka! Come out here!" I yelled. All of a sudden, pain took over. A mist came out of my hands and there formed a dog.

"woof! Woof" He started to run around me.

"You know Lanka, everyone thinks I'm dead, but I'm not!" I complained. Lanka just licked my face and barked. "For a doggie, you don't really bark much, don't you?"

"Woof!Woof!" Yup, Lanka doesn't know what I'm talking about.

"Lanka, fetch!" I exclaimed as I threw a stick, that flew to the neighbor's yard. Lanka chased after it, but she went though the fence. Lanka came back and dropped the stick on the ground.

"Woof! Woof!" I sat on the ground and petted Lanka. He jumped onto my laps.

"You know Lanka, mommy and daddy promised me that they'll be on my 6th birthday! But Mommy is still in Kyoto while Daddy is still at England until Monday!" I exclaimed. Lanka whined and I smiled. "Come on Lanka, let's go inside." I brought Lanka inside the house into my room.

I opened my eyes and sat up. I looked at the alarm clock and screamed. "I'm Late!" I screeched. I ran to the closet and got a pink tank-top, aqua sweater and a skirt. I ran to the bathroom and took a quick shower. I got dressed, brushed my teeth and ran to the kitchen to make breakfast. I ate real quick and got my bag and my luggage. I put my shoes on and ran to work.

Okay just a few more seconds! ...3...2...1...!

"Oh, hey Mai, what's up?" Monk exclaimed.

"Oh. Monk, Ayako, John, Yasu what are you guys doing here?" I asked.

"Remember about the case at the Philippines? The Mansion in Philippines." Monk said, having trouble saying a few words.

"Great, since everyone is here, let's get going." Naru said, with Lin standing right behind him.

"Um Naru..." I said.

"Yes Mai?" Naru asked.

"Um... You know the girl who is supposed to meet us right?" I asked.

"Yes, I do. Why?" Naru replied.

"Do you know her name?" I asked.

"Sofia. Now let's go." Naru said as I loaded my stuff into Monk's car and got into the van with Naru. The ride was quick, so I didn't fall asleep. I started to unload the van with Lin as Monk got my stuff which was really not a prob to him. Anyway, we passed security, and finally boarded the plane. I sat next to Naru, John sat next to Lin, Ayako sat next to Monk with Yasu in between.

I took my Iphone out, put it on airplane mode then put my favorite songs on shuffle. I like the first song, 'Perfect'. I closed my eyes and drifted to sleep.

Today is the first day of 6th grade in Guam. I didn't even want to go, since everyone would do the same thing over and over again. Tease me, bully me, hurt me and spread rumors about me. EVERY FREAKING THING IS THE SAME! I sat at the way back. The teacher said a few things, did attendance and he left the room with his bag. A girl was sitting at the teachers desk.

"Since our teacher will be gone for a few hours, do as you wish." She is a bitch.

I looked out the window as hell began. 2 boys did spitball and I was the target, girls teased me, a gossip team was made about me and people wrote hurtful things about me on the board. How do I understand all this? Mom made me study since dad passed away and I need to continue my studies here...

Until a stupid girl who had a sibling here told people the reason why I transferred here.

"I'm sorry I'm late they gave me the wrong classroom." The people who turned life into hell eyed the girl

"You must be Sofia Alice Nicastro. There is a seat next to Ms. Taniyama." The assistant teacher said. Sofia sat next to me and smiled at me.

"Hello, my name is Sofia Alice Nicastro, pleased to meet you. You can rather call me Sofia or Alice." Sofia,- wait no, Alice said in fluent Japanese.

"Hi, my name is Mai Taniyama..." I said. "How did you know I'm Japanese, plus, how do you know how to speak Japanese? Wait, how old are you?" I asked.

"One, I'm an Otaku. Two, I know it since your name and I learned how. 3 I'm 5 years old." Alice replied.

"Wait, Aren't you supposed to be in kindergarten?" I asked.

"Yeah, but I'm smart for my age." Alice replied. I just face palmed.

"You were born on Guam?" I asked.

"No, I'm Filipino. I moved here due to Family reasons." Alice replied. I smiled and nodded. "Why are you here?"

"Same like you, family reasons." I said. We both laughed and we continued to talk and laugh until school was over.

We walked home together and we did that until the day in the middle of the semester. Mom became ill, so we had to go back to Japan to Watanabe-san, my old 5th grade teacher and mom's best friend. Alice was sad to see me leave, but we exchanged numbers and I was finally off.

"When we see each other again, I hope your a fine young lady." I said as I hung up on the phone after mom's funeral and I cried myself to sleep.
