Chapter 4
AN: this story is originally for a friend and the fact that I have a fan fic just happened. She gives me advice and is a character. Anyways, here's the 4th chapter! –JDT :[
Morgan's POV
I knew that JT ran off to fight the Ghost of Godzilla and I noticed that Emmaline, who was with us when we ran into the gym, disappeared. Once the rumbling and roaring stopped, I looked around and saw JT and Emmaline walk out of the bathroom respectively. The funny part was that they ran into each other. I laughed at them and Camp looked at me like I had seen a ghost. I smile and told him "Emm and JT just walked into each other! They'll be so cute together!" Camp just rolled his eyes and the duo appeared after each other.
JT's face was full of sadness and pain, which meant he either hit himself or… Camp looks at him and asks "What's up your butt?" JT looks as if he'll send his best friend through the bleachers. All JT did was hold out the keys to his beloved Bronco. I immediately got where he was going with that, and Camp and Emm where still clueless.
His pain filled eyes should've given it away, but Camp's oblivious and Emmaline doesn't know him that well. He frowns and finally says "Moron, my car is destroyed. Its not coming back." He looked as if he was about to cry, and to be honest in the 7 years I've known him I've never seen him cry. I was with him the day his dad bought him the rusty old beater when he was 14.
I knew he spent every hour he could the past two years between football and the Bronco. It's only been finished for about 6 months. I pulled him aside and the bell rung, telling us we could go to the parking lot and go home. JT let a few tears shed and I kept a close eye on him. He called his parents, who in turn called their insurance agent. They soon worked it out and since JT was my ride, his parents took me home and JT went to their house.
JT's POV
Well, besides saving the school and my car getting destroyed, the day went pretty well. We got the insurance and a video surfaced of me and the strange girl fighting Godzilla II. We were on the news and they gave me the lamest name ever. "Invis-o-Bill." It just sucked. I ignored it and my parents explained to me that the car insurance company would give me 6,000 dollars because I built it myself and the accident wasn't my fault.
Then an amazing idea came to me. What if I had Camp or Morgan sign a car in my name and I'll overshadow the dealer and get it for 6K? It's so crazy it might just work. I don't know, I might do it or just outright take the keys and erase it from the databanks at the sight. Either way I'm getting a new car within the next week or two.
Fast forward to after school on Thursday. I convinced Camp to come with me to get the car, and he was surprisingly on board with the plan and plus his parents were out of town again. I decided upon a brand new 2013 Ford F-150 Raptor, in what Ford calls Blue Flame. It has all the options put on it and is valued at $54,999 dollars. As Camp and I started our plan, the strange girl ghost that helped me earlier was floating around, but she was invisible. I saw her thanks to me already in ghost form.
I quickly overshadowed the dealer and sold myself the car for 6K. Camp and I drove home in my brand new F-150. The 385 horses of the V8 were a lot more than the 200 hp Bronco engine. It shot faster than I thought, so I adjusted my speed and soon got used to the power upgrade.
Morgan's POV
It's Friday; my favorite day of the week. Not only because it's Friday, but its one of the few days in the football season that JT can pick me up and ride to school. We only get so much time to talk and hang out, so I enjoy it. "I am not crushing on him!" I mentally yell at myself, for the thoughts of other reasons I enjoy his company came in mind. "That's Emmaline's thing!" this time I mentally slapped myself. When instead of his dad's old shitty Yugo, he pulled up in a blue F-150 that said 'Raptor' in really cool print on the end of it. I really like the color, and once again, JT pulls me out of my head with him honking the horn.
I hopped in the truck after throwing my backpack in the back, which has a black foldable cover, and hopped in the front seat. Although Camp gets picked up first, I always get shotgun whenever I ride with JT. Its his own custom, and Camp just goes along, never really voicing if he hates it or not. I noticed that the truck has the all familiar new car smell. I then glanced at Camp, who had what seemed like the window sticker, and I look closer, It is a window sticker and I tell Camp to give it to me. Of course it was the one truck that JT always wanted and went on and on and on saying all of its facts. (AN: He's a car nut, just like the author!) The window price was $55,000! I quickly scanned through all the important stuff. Its automatic, but has 4x4, it is also powered by a 6.2L V8. The color is officially called Blue Flame. Within minutes we were at school.
The day flew by as a normal Friday with a home game. We had an assembly in the afternoon and Emmaline, who's a cheerleader, did really well. During the football game, I had about three guys ask me to homecoming, but I kindly declined. I plan on being a third wheel this year.
We won the game 48-7 and three of those touchdowns were courtesy of Emmaline's obsession. So as always after a victorious home game, so Emm and I wait for JT to finish watching film. Once the film is over, JT walked out, but instead of his happiness, I saw fear in his eyes. Emm walked home after seeing his expression, especially since her home is a 5 minute walk down the highway.
JT and I rode in relative silence, that was until I broke it. "Why are you so scared? I can see it in you eyes." He kept silent and I then knew what it was once his eyes flashed from their ice blue to toxic green. He bitterly told me "In the film, I accidentally phased through one of the oncoming guys, they could've caught me." I knew his fear was of his parents finding out his newly acquired secret identity, because whenever JT does something good and word gets out, his parents threaten to rip him apart, molecule by molecule. I literally felt some of his fear and worry seep onto me. It's contagious and now I know just how bad it is.
As we were driving, the all too familiar mist erupted from his mouth, telling us that there's a ghost in the vicinity. We quickly pulled into a Taco Bell parking lot and he turns invisible in his seat, but I feel the auras, if you will, in the truck change as he swaps from football player to super hero. I got out, locked the truck and bought a taco.
JT's POV
I flew back to the middle of the road, searching for a sign of the ghost. I floated above the road, and after a minute my ghost sense went off again. I searched around, but found nothing. I turned invisible and stayed there for a second. I soon saw a bright flash of light from a near by alley. I flew above it to find Emmaline. Her face showed that she was innocent, but her eyes told all. She was anything but innocent. She soon took off the opposite way, so I flew back to the parking lot to find Morgan sitting on the tailgate eating a taco, which she probably paid for with my money, but I don't mind.
While invisible, I change into myself and turn visible next to Morgan. I told her to get in the truck quickly. I drove as fast as I felt necessary to find Emm, and soon found her. I roll down the window so she could see that we meant no harm, because the way she was running was if it were from some demons chasing me.
I told her to get in and she agreed. Morgan led me to her house, but I kept my eyes on her. One thing that bothered me was that a similar mist was coming out of her mouth just like my ghost sense. The weirder part was that it kept happening to both of us. I dropped Emmaline off first and then Morgan. Her dad was pissed but we both shrugged him off.
At eleven the next morning, Morgan and I went to go do something really crazy. We went to Dick's to buy the cheapest NHSAA football they had. I paid and then Morgan and I went to buy Sharpies. We went to the park to make the best homecoming invitation ever. We drew a big HC in the middle and filled it in with purple. Next to it she wrote "Emmaline," and then on the right side of the HC it said "with me?" I then signed my name at the bottom. Morgan agreed to sneak it into her cheer bag for me.
AN: Thanks Riley for the HC idea, and to all who read it, review!
