"Ok, to be completely honest with you, Erik, I am scared. I just didn't want everyone to make fun of me. I mean, I trust you'll be nice about it," Ponch said. Erik smiled.
"I figured." He said. Ponch smiled back.
"Wow, looking at you is almost like looking in the mirror," Erik said. He began to fix his hair, so Ponch did the same.
"Really? My hair is that messy?" Erik asked.
"No, I was just messin' with you," Ponch said. Erik laughed.
"You know, I am glad that we are both scared. I mean we can stay together, and then we aren't as scared," Ponch said. Erik smiled,
"Yeah," Erik agreed.
Meanwhile….
"Two plus two is five," a little girl said.
"No, its four," a little boy said.
"Ok, don't fight, it is four. He was right," the teacher said. Heidi opened the door to the math room. No one was there.
"What? I heard them clearly," Alexa said coming into the room.
"Me too, but where are they?" Michael asked. They once again heard the math teacher and his class.
"Ok, this is starting to give me the creeps," David said. Then he heard a loud scream come from the office.
"That was either Ponch or Erik. I can't tell their screams apart," Erika said. They rushed towards the office. When they got there, no one was there.
"Where are they?" Michael asked. Then he spotted Erik over by the door.
"Erik, where is Ponch?"
"Ponch?" Erik asked he sounded confused as if he had no idea who Ponch was.
"Erik, are you ok?" Erika asked worried about her brother.
"I'm f-f-f-fine," Erik said. A shiver went down his spine.
"What happened in here? And where is Ponch?" David asked.
"I don't know where he is," Erik finally admitted.
"What?" Everyone asked in unison.
"This is the first time that you haven't known where Ponch is. What happened here?" David demanded.
"I don't know. We heard this noise, and it was weird. Then the next thing I know, we are both screaming. Now I have no idea where Ponch is," Erik said.
"Ok, that is not good. Everyone knows Ponch was more scared than you were. If he is all alone, who knows how long he will last?" Michael said worried. Then they began to search around for Ponch.
Meanwhile….
Ponch was walking around the school. He was trying to find a way out. He also wanted to be as far away from other people as he could. He didn't want people to know just how scared he really was. As he walked around scared to death trying to find a door that was unlocked, all he could think about was his parents.
"They are gonna be so mad at me when they find out. I don't think I will ever forgive myself for staying here. How come I always talk myself into stuff like this? I must be a terrible person. I hope Erik is fine. I don't want him to be scared all alone. I just can't go back to that office," Ponch said to himself. He continued walking. He heard something and it seemed to be close by. He followed the noise, and was soon in the history room. He saw books falling off the shelves.
"Mr. Gemstone isn't gonna like that," Ponch said. He just stood there and watched. It was so weird. It was almost as if someone was pulling them off the shelf and looking at them. Then tossing them aside. Ponch was confused. But when he saw a floating book, and the pages just flipping themselves as if someone was reading it. Then he heard a voice starting to read the book. Ponch stood there frozen in fear. "Someone is reading the book. But no one is there." Was all that went through his mind. Ponch was totally freaked. Then he heard people arguing outside. He looked out the window, and no one was there.
"Alright, that is enough. I am out of here," Ponch said.
"Wait Ponch, don't go," a voice that was a little familiar said. It was the voice of whoever was reading the book.
"Who are you? And where are you?" Ponch asked freaked out.
"I am right in front of you."
"I don't see anyone."
"I am invisible," Ponch was so freaked out now that he fainted.
"Huh, that was strange," the ghost said.
