Chapter 2- Invisible Angel

A loud beeping noise screamed in Sarah's ear. Still tired, she tried to ignore the sound. But after 5 or 10 minutes, it was still going, so Sarah turned and slapped the snooze button on her alarm clock. She sat up and yawned. Rubbing her eyes, she looked around for her guardian angel. He wasn't anywhere. Maybe I imagined it she thought? Pushing those thoughts aside, she glanced at the time. 7:42. Realizing today was monday, she got up, and prepared to go to school.

The thoughts of her mother ran through her head. She knew this was going to be a problem.

She brushed her teeth, put on a shirt, vest, and jeans. Then she put her weekend homework on her dest in her bag, picked up her cell phone, and walked downstairs. She glanced into her fathers room. Gone. He must be working a 24-hour shift she told herself.

Preparing her bag of school supplies, she book her bag on the table and poured a bowl of Coco Puffs.

As she munched on the chocolate treat, she thought of her school shedule today. Mrs. Shire for math first, then Mr. Shanken for history, Mr. Erikson for biology...and then lunch...okay, then I think Ms. York for health and to finish Mr. Karrole to end the day with english. Geez..I hope I don't have a run in Mr. Reinhart she thought with a shudder. She finshed her Coco puffs and put her bowl in the dishwasher. Quickly wiping her mouth with a napkin, she grabbed her bag and walked down the street.

The school was only 15 blocks away and it was her daily way of staying physically fit. Sarah got used to the walk and actually enjoyed it. Sometimes she would see some energetic young men do park tour around the neighborhood. Although it looked cool when they hopped between houses, there was no way she would do anything of that sort.

After a short 5 block walk, she heard walking suddenly behind her. She turned around as normal as possible without appearing scared. She jumped when she saw who it was.

"Hey, Sarah," said Chase with his usual grin.

"Oh my God, you scared me!" Sarah said loudly. She continued walking, with Chase walking silently next to her. "Where are you going?" he asked.

Sarah rolled her eyes. "School obviously. I assume you'll be joining me?" Chase nodded. "And you will be invisible?" He nodded again. "Great." She said a little sarcasticaly.

Chase looked at her closely. "I think" he began, "I hear a little tone!"

"Well your going to be a distraction from my schoolwork, I'm sure!"

"Don't worry! I won't bother you, but I will just bother somebody else," said Chase smiling.

Sarah sighed. "Well this is going to be just wonderful!"

"I thought you wanted a guardian angel." Chase said, a little hurt. "I do, and I'm glad your here, but you are a little too...YOU for me to do my schoolwork properly. But we can still have fun!" Sarah explained.

"Alright let's have some fun." Chase said cheerily.

"Don't get me into trouble," Sarah warned him with a very serious face.

"I won't" Chase assured her as he followed Sarah to her school.

The school was 2 stories high, made of blue colored stone walls. Kids and teens were entering the middle school already, mumbling amongst themselves. The weekend was over and nobody liked it. Sarah felt the same.

"Cheer up!" said Chase, putting his hands on his hips. "It'll be more fun now that I'm here!" Sarah rolled her eyes.

They walked inside and headed to Sarah's locker. Kids seemed to walk through Chase, and when they did Chase giggled a little. When Sarah asked the boy how he did this, Chase explained it tickled a little. Reaching her locker, Sarah dumped some of her school supplies in and took out her math, history, and biology book. Taking 3 notebooks, a calculator, and a few pens and pencils, she closed her locker and walked to the math room.

Chase followed Sarah into her classroom and he leaned up agaisnt the wall, while Sarah sat in the first row in the middle. Other kids were talking amongst themselves, and some greeted Sarah as she sat down. Soon, an older looking woman with long brown hair entered the room.

"Alright class," announced in a clear voice. "Let's go over your homework!"

Uhh Sarah she heard Chase say in her thoughts. Sarah smirked and flipped open her notebook that had 1-33 titled on the top. She had to do questions 1-33 (page 229), obviously, on factors.

As the teacher droned on about the homework and lesson review, with Sarah absentmindedly checking the questions she got wrong (not too many, about a B worth paper), Sarah watched Chase sitting as he stared at the Numbers posters (a T.V show). Chase meanwhile rolled up some gum, and Sarah presumed someone would have it in his or her hair soon.

At last the teacher finished the homework review, and she gave them another assingment on page 230-234 1-10, 15-30, 34, 35, 36.

As the class did their homework Sarah heard Chase wisper in her mind.

Hey Sarah, watch this. Suddenly, a piece of white chalk was flying through the air at the teacher.

The chalk puffed against her head. A couple students chuckled, but Mrs. Shire wasn't amused. "Who did that?!" yelled the teacher. She looked at the enitre class and saw 'little Micheal' (a nickname given to Micheal Werent who was 4'3" tall) sitting closest to the chalk. "Micheal to the Principle's office, NOW!" Mrs. Shire screamed, poinitng towards the door.

"But i didn't do it!", complained Michael. "Now!" yelled Mrs. Shire.

Everyone watched Michael leave the room and then after he left, they continued to do their work.

"I can't believe you did that chase", said sarah. "Relax - I'll be back" said Chase.

Sarah blinked and when she opend her eyes, he was gone.

Five minutes later, Chase appeared back to the same corner with a smile on his face.

Michael came back with a smile on his face too. "Michael I thought I told you to go the office?" asked .

"I did, but principal Reinhart believed me", said Micheal. "Why?" asked Mrs. Shire crossing her arms.

"Because, he told me he saw the whole thing when he walked by", said Michael. Sarah knew chase had done something but she couldn't figure out what it was.

"Ok, then go back to your seat", said Mrs. Shire sitting back down.

Michael went back to his seat and continued on his homework.

An hour went by and the classroom bell rang and Sarah put her math homework in her bag and then she grabbed her history book for class. Mr. Shanken, ( who had brown hair and green eyes). Sarah was daydreaming in class while the others were learning about WWll. The next class was biology with Mr. Erikson (who had dark black hair and blue eyes).

"Alright class, today we are going to analyze the breakdown of DNA and cloning". While Mr. Erickson was teaching the class, Chase knocked down one of the beakers off the table. The crash was loud and commanded immediate attention from everyone.

"What happened Rachel?" asked looking at the mess on the floor.

"I don't know" said Racheal confused. "Well don't touch it, I'll get someone to clean this up", said Mr. Erickson getting the phone.

"Chase no more breaking things!", yelled Sarah. "Promise" said Chase. Chase went over to the thermostat and turned the dial down. "Nice", thought Sarah doing her homework.

In about 10 minutes sarah felt cold. "Mr. Erickson called Aaron".

"Yes", Aaron said as turned around. "Can you turn up the temperature please? I am cold," asked Aaron.

Yes no wonder it's 60 degrees in here said . Thank you said aaron.

"Alright class let's read our answer said ". After they read there answer the bell rang and it was time for lunch.

Sarah got her pizza for lunch with corn and cholocate milk and went outside to the bleaches were the other kids ate their lunch.

"Hey, what are you eating asked chase sitting beside her". Pizza asked sarah.

"Thats good" said chase. "Yeah" said sarah. "Ok, well i gotta be careful", said chase standing up to leave.

"Where are you going"? asked sarah. "I have to get a truck and a cell phone...whatever they are!" said Chase.

Oh sorry and a cell phone is like the ones that hang up on the wall in the house but we came up with better idea said sarah".

"Oh ok then, well- bye" said chase". "Bye!" said sarah as she grab bed her milk and Chase was gone.

Sarah look around and couldn't find Chase. He disappeared in a matter of seconds. "How does he do that"? thought Sarah.

After a long day at school sarah got all of her homework of english vocab, and then math.

Sarah walked out of the school and saw chase by the High school .

"Hey", said chase. "Hi! How are you?" asked sarah". "Ok i guess", said Chase. Sarah yelled to Lilly as she was runing towards her.

"Sarah, you dropped your cell phone-here, I found it"! " And- who is this?" asked Lilly. Sarah looked at Chase and came up with an idea.

"He's my cousin from California said Sarah". "Thanks Sarah!", she heard in her head from Chase.

"Oh- well... hi my name isLilly, and yours?"

" It's Chase Archer" he said annoyed.

"Well then hi, Sarah do you need a ride home?" asked Lilly. Before Sarah could say anything, Chase spoke.

"No- she's riding home with me!" "Oh, you drive?" asked Lilly.

"Yeah, see that Black 1967 Chevloret Impala?" he said proudly to the shiny car.

"Wow! That's beautiful!" said Lilly. " Thanks, we gotta go!" he said looking at Sarah. "Bye Chase", Sarah said as Lilly walked away.

"Bye" said Sarah. "Come on let's go!" sarah said as she and chase made their way towards the car.

"Chase where did you go and where did you get that car?" asked Sarah.

"At the used car lot down the street. And -I also bought an iphone and a house because thats what you told your dad," said Chase.

"I am sorry, I was trying to help, where did you get the money for all that stuff?" asked Sarah". "My Father's bank account!" said Chase. "Ok sorry, I was just curious!" said sarah. "It's fine, sorry for the confusion." said Chase.

"I forgive you. Come on and take me home." said sarah as she headed toward the Impala".

Chase parked his car in front of the house and said goodbye to sarah. "Your'e not coming?" asked sarah.

"No, I have to go back to heaven and then I'll be back. No screaming okay Sarah? said chase.

"I won't!" Sarah said as she waved good bye to Chasae as he drove off in his shiny car. Sarah went inside to call her dad but then she realized that he was working late so she took out her books and got out a snack to eat.

She was doing her homework when she heard Chase' voice saying "here i come" in her head.

Sarah was startled when Chase appeared in the kitchen. It was something she knew she wouldn't be able to get used to.

"Hey, think you could give me some kind of warning from now on?" Chase just smiled and said: "So how's your homework coming along?"

"Almost done" Sarah said with a sigh.

Chase was looking at the pictures on the wall and said: "Where is your Dad anyway?"

"He's at work, he is a firefighter so his hours are sometimes really long", she said as she finished her last homework question. Chase had a flashback when his father was a firefighter but then he came back to realty.

"Chase you ok?" asked sarah staring at him.

"Yeah, just thinking said Chase". "About...?" she asked. "My dad- a long time ago." said Chase.

"Oh ok said sarah".Yeah said you like to tell me about it asked sarah. No said chase quickly.

"Oh, do you want to talk about it?" "No" said Chase firmly. "Well..." said Sarah changing the subject quickly. " How did you get your license again? asked Sarah. "I went to the Secretary of State's office just like you would so I could fit in with everyone." said Chase. "Oh, ok. Well - good" said Sarah. "I gotta go Sarah" said Chase unexpectedly. "Where are you going?"

asked Sarah.

"Heaven and then home" he said. "Ok, but come back please!" she said. " I will Sarah! See ya!" said Chase.

Sarah looked at her homework question and then back at Chase but he was gone immediately.
