"Uh...woops!"

That sentence alone was enough to make Spencer snap. No, it wasn't enough that she now lived with the ghost of her deceased distant famous relative. The situation got even more ridiculous when, as she backed away slowly in shock, she saw said ghost covering his face with both hands(with one eye peeking through his translucent fingers).

She KNEW it.

"I KNEW IT!" Shouting in the ghost's face, she felt triumphant that her theory deemed triumph didn't last long, however, because anger coursed through her veins. All she wanted to do was shower. But it wasn't just this tiny interuption that bothered her.

It was the Cobra himself.

"Uh...wrong door?," he questioned, not even bothering to act the part of an actually confused dude. He sank back into her bedroom on the other side of the door, leaving Spencer alone.

"...fucking popstar…"

Spencer didn't really know what living with a ghost was like. Today, however, she found out. Only because all during breakfast, she couldn't peacefully tune out her parents talking about nonsense, as usual. Or ignore Jessica's taunts, as usual. No. While her family was BLISSFULLY unaware that a 19 year old boy was making a racket that only SHE could hear, Spencer had to endure the TORTURE that was Billy Joe Cobra's first song, 'I Love Me.'

He sang it at least 20 fucking times in a row.

"Oh, would you look at that! I can see the school bus from here! You both best be getting your foot out the door!," her father exclaimed cheerfully. The girls hopped out of their chairs, shouting 'bye' to their parents as they raced out the door.

"HA! I WIN!," Jessica stuck her tongue out at Spencer before hopping onto the bus to her middle school. Spencer just rolled her eyes, waiting for her bus to arrive.

"So, Spence, do you wanna hear another one of my chart-toppers?"

And then there was this guy.

Spencer did everything she could to pretend that the ghost-okay, BILLY-wasn't floating right beside her, taking in everything as if he saw the Earth for the first time. Technically, he DID, since he can only be around wherever the necklace is.

Spencer gasped aloud.

"Oh, so you DO?," Billy wiggled his eyebrows flirtatiously before belting out a line, which turned into a whole song. But that's not why Spener gasped. She realized that she could take the necklace off whenever she wanted! She didn't HAVE to hear Billy or his stupid, annoying voice. She didn't HAVE to stare at his long eyelashes that fluttered when he smiled, or hear him giggle about nothing. She could just tune him out whenver she wanted!

"What did you think of my chart-topping single, Spencer? Did hearing my voice make you realize that you were wrong all along and that my voice was actually SUUUUPER soothing?" smiled at her widely, as if she was paying attention to what he was saying.

Staring at his face, she was about to comment that he called her by her full name, when the bus rolled in front of the curb, making her remember why she wanted to tune him out. She couldn't stand a whole school day with him around. She just couldn't!

Looking into his blue eyes, she removed her hands from her backpack straps, and slowly lifted the necklace from around her neck. Billy froze, watching the girl perform the action as she stepped into the bus. As the necklace got higher and higher away from her head, Billy faded more and more. Before he was invisible once more, Spencer felt a flash of guilt as she witnessed Billy's smile fall.

The last thing she saw before the school bus doors closed and Billy became invisible was how he didn't look angry or sad.

He looked like his heart had been broken.
