Chapter 2

JT's POV

It was nine when I got home and I missed dinner, so I reheated a taco. I ate and walked downstairs, passing the picture from my parents when they were in college, the picture was of them and their old friend Mr. Nick Masters. I don't know why, but that Mr. Masters guy puts out a bad vibe, even though I've never met him.

I soon arrived back upstairs and looked through my closet to soon fine the red plaid flannel shirt and my jeans. In minutes I found the large box that held my favorite hat.

While I was ironing my clothes, the same damn thing that happened with the steering wheel happened with the iron. It landed dead on my bare foot and I didn't feel the burning sensation I expected, instead I just felt the pain of a five pound iron being dropped on my foot.

I walked upstairs after packing my bag for football and had two messages from Morgan and Camp about what happened in the lab. I just told them that we'd talk about it later. I soon fell asleep.

I woke up on the floor of the lab, which means I either fell through the floor or sleep walked. I had to have fallen through the floor because I don't sleep walk to being with.

I got dressed and put my hat on along with my favorite cowboy style boots. I drove to school a little early so that I could go put my football gear back into the locker room. I stopped for a second, and since the bell hasn't rung and there's no one but me in the locker room, so I decided to see if I could control any of the things that were happening to me.

I looked in the mirror and focused on the other 'me' that I'd turn into. I felt the energy change me into the other form of me. I thought about flying and I started to fly. As I looked in the mirror, I thought "What if I could turn invisible?" and what do ya get? You get a JT that's there but not seen!

Then it hit me like a ton of bricks. "DUMB ASS, you walked into a GHOST PORTAL. You were probably zapped or mutated by, umm, what is that stuff Mom and Dad always says that makes ghosts? Ectoplasm. That's it. Maybe the ectoplasm mutated me into some sort of half-ghost half human thing?"

I heard the door open to the locker room so I turned back into normal old red neck JT. Of course it had to be the one kid I could honestly live without. The school bully and jock, Alexander Hankes. He started to talk smack about how he was going to beat me and how he's so much better than me. We both are starters, but he's defense and I'm offense. I just ignore him and said "Leave it on the field. We don't need any violence between us."

Of course, that just made him want to pound me even more. Then I checked my watch and ran to the school. I had ten minutes before class starts and I really need to talk to Camp and Morgan. Once I was there, I started to sink through the floor and they started to pull me back out. Morgan laughed and Camp just stared. Then I turned to Morgan, who noticed my full on cowboy gear and I smiled and said "I should've been a cowboy." She was laughing for a good ten minutes at that one.

I smile "I'm slowly learning how to control these, um abilities." They look at me and the same blue mist came out of my mouth. Then a small blue guy in overalls and a red beanie came out and shouted "BEWARE! For I am the Box Ghost, ruler of all things cardboard and square!" I just kinda laughed and said "Morgan, Camp, cover me!"

I changed into my other form. The JT on my chest was red, just like the stripes in my hair, and everything was the same as earlier. I flew towards the so called Box Ghost and grabbed him in my fists. His eyes went wide with shock.

I raised one fist to punch him, but it started glowing green. I felt the energy building and I soon released it as a blast of some sort. It hit the Box Ghost hard enough and he just disappeared. I flew to the bathroom and changed back into myself.

I walked out to see a huge smile on Morgan and Camp's face. They both look at me and say "THAT WAS FREAKIN AWESOME!" I smile at my friends enthusiasm, but then some new girl walked by. Instead of walking around me, she walked straight into my right shoulder. She just keeps walking as if I wasn't there. (I was totally normal at that point.) I mutter under my breath "Bitch…" and she kept walking. The good thing about first period is that I have Computer Lit. and Morgan is in it.

Apparently the new girl is in it too, but I just never noticed her. Apparently her name is Emmaline. The day went by without any more ghosts appearing, but at lunch Hankes had to pick a fight. I decided to mess with his head and turn intangible and phase out of his grasp.

Then at football, I was going out for a pass (I play tight end, like Phillip Lutzenkirchen, plays for Auburn #43.) and catch it, but Hankes was coming straight for me. I kept going, hoping momentum would defeat him. Instead of him even coming to hit me, I went through him. I kept running and got the touch down.
