(Shayanne's POV)

Right after the meeting is over, I noticed Blayke in his deep thoughts. I know what he's thinking about. He's thinking about Merlee again. Whenever he talks about her he gets too nervous to talk to her. From what Merlee told me last week she describes Blayke as a naïve boy but that's what she likes about him. Yup, Blayke does act naïve sometimes but that's what he is. He's like a brother to me.

"You still thinking about her again?" I asked, getting his attention.

"Uh… yeah. I just wanna talk to her but I get this nervous feeling. I just don't want to be like that" Blayke said.

"Uh huh? Well why don't you ask her out?" I asked.

"I don't know how I should set up the date. I'm not good at it" Blayke said.

"You can bring her to the carnival and have fun there. That's a good start" I said, "Since you helped Shadow last year to ask me on a date. Now it's my turn to help you ask Merlee out"

"Alright. I'll try to talk to her again and ask her out on the carnival" Blayke said; holding his hands behind his back.

"That's the spirit Blayke" I smiled.


(Mario's POV)

"Is Rosie the new member today?" I asked my brother Mr. L. If Rosalina became a new member of the Student Council.

"Yes she is now. And we're glad that Amber is replaced by her now. And what's next for you and her?" he said with an excited look on his face and asked.

"Well, I don't know. Maybe she and I could be at the basement playing games?" I shrugged.

"What about that haunted house in the deep forest? I bet she's not scared of haunted houses" Mr. L smirked.

"You mean those two crazy ghosts taking pictures of people freaking out?" I scoffed, "Please. I've been in that house 4 months ago and I didn't get scared"


(Flashback; 4 months ago)

I was walking in the forest alone while waiting for the sun to set down. Then I saw something that seemed to be an abandoned house in the middle of the deep forest. I decided to see if there's anyone there. I turned my flashlight on and got in, the door was unlocked.

"Hello? Anyone here?" I asked. No sound or anyone in the house. Might as well explore inside. I have like 10 minutes left until I transform into a werewolf.

Then I heard creaking noises from the room. I go up there and opened the door slowly; I only found furniture covered in white covers, "Hmmmm?" I looked around the room until a scary ghost holding a camera appeared in front of me.

"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" I screamed and the ghosts took a picture of my scared face. I ran out from the room and got past the mirror. His reflection suddenly changes.

"WHOOOOOAAAA!" my eyes widen at the sight of it, falling backward onto the floor. Then I turned around and saw the sun going down through the window, I started to tremble violently as if I were electrocuted, "Damn…it!" I growled lowly and clenched my teeth angrily. I felt myself growing sharp teeth and claws, dark red hair with white tips, humans ears turned pointy, dark red wolf tail appeared, and my sneakers turned dark brown with metal spikes.

"AAARRRROOOOOOOOOOO!" I howled out loud.

I turned around and saw two ghosts standing there, "You scared me, huh? Well this time I'll scare you back!" I growled and chased after them.

"AAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUAAAAAAAHHHHH!" the two ghosts screamed as I chased them. But nearby I heard a girly laughter, a Ghost Girl.

"Huh?" I glanced at the Ghost Girl laughing at the two male ghosts.

"That was funny. I've never seen other ghosts get scared of those like you. They scared a lot of people but you now" she said.

This made me smirk at hearing that, "Thanks" I said and left the house.

(End of Flashback)


"I don't believe in ghosts, dude" Mr. L said with his arms crossed.

"I don't either but there were ghosts in that abandoned house" I said.

"So in other words you do believe in them now?" Mr. L said.

I nodded at his response, "Yes. But I don't know if Rosie is scared of ghosts" I said, "But I wonder if she can kick butt. She said she's black belt"

"Well she can. But ghosts are another thing. It can be hard to touch a ghost since they are like air or something. Unless they can make themselves solid" Mr. L said.

"Good point there. I'll ask her if she wants to come" I said.


(Rosalina's POV)

I was heading to the library to have some peace and quiet time. Usually I'm not used to classmates fooling around in class and those not paying attention when the teacher is teaching. What else can I do? I can't force them to act normal in school.

All of a sudden, my reflex alarmed me as I grabbed someone's wrist behind me. Oh, great. Not him again.

"Whoa, great reflex babe" it was Bowser the stupid pervert. He was almost about to slap my ass. That is so VERY wrong of him!

"Do not call me 'babe', asshole. I'm not into heartbreakers like you" I glared and released his wrist. I am so not in the mood to see his ugly face again.

That's when someone grabbed his sunglasses off his head, "Hey!" Bowser turned around and sees Mario holding his sunglasses.

"I told you to stop harassing her, Bowser. Or I'll break your favorite sunglasses" Mario growled.

"Hey give me that!" He tried to get them back from Mario but missed every time.

"One more harassing and it's bye-bye to your sunglasses" Mario gave them back.

"You just wait" Bowser scoffed and walks away.

I looked at Mario and smiled, "Thanks Mario" I said.

"No problem, Rosie. Good thing I got there on time" he said.

"Anyways, I got to go to the library. Wanna hang out there?" I asked him.

"Sure. I'll go there with you" Mario said.


(Mario's POV)

So I head in the library with her. When in the library we have to be very quiet. But we're allowed to whisper.

"So what did you used to read in your old school?" I asked her.

"Usually I read about facts and artists" Rosalina said.

"Interesting. And speaking of artists, Shadow is a great anime artist" I said to her.

"Cool. I would like to try it out" Rosalina smiled.

"Yeah. Usually he either draws his favorite anime character or other people" I said, "Oh, and I know this will sound annoying but do you believe in ghosts?" I asked her.

"No. I don't believe in ghosts" Rosalina shook her head no.

I simply chuckled and lean in, "I know a place where there are ghosts" I said with a sly grin.

"I hope you're not trying to trick me" Rosalina said.

"No, it's not a trick. I never believed in ghosts too but now I do. There was an abandoned haunted house deep in the forest. I've been in there 4 months ago. I was thinking if you wanna go there tonight. Um….you're not scared of ghosts are you?" I asked in concern if she's really scared of ghosts.

"Uh, I don't know" Rosalina said very un-certain

"Then it's decided. We'll go there tonight" I said.

A while later after school was done; I head back home with my siblings. Now I just have to wait for Rosalina to come over during sunset.

"So Mario. You invited Rosalina to see the ghost house?" Zoe asked me.

"Yes. But if she gets scared of the Ghost I don't know what to do. She might be scared for life" I said.

"Oh, come on. 4 months ago you said you scared those two ghosts as a werewolf" she said.

"I was scared as a normal guy, not werewolf" I corrected. "Well I scared the ghosts off as a werewolf" I added.

"And what about that Ghost Girl? You told me that she laughed" Zoe asked.

"She likes seeing people or other ghosts being scared. I bet she collects pictures of scared people" I said.

"Interesting" Zoe said.

Then we came back home and got inside to go to our rooms. Mother isn't home right now; she told us she was heading to the mall.

"Now I just have to wait for Rosie" I said.


(Rosalina's POV)

Alright Rosie, just be calm when you and Mario head to the old Ghost house. But now I have to go to Mario's house to be there before night. I got dressed and now I wear blue jeans, red sneakers, white shirt, and a light blue jacket. Then I walk out my house and heads down to Mario's house.

I gotta be fast to get there on time before the sun goes down again.

When I arrived there, I knocked on the door. I waited patiently while tapping my foot and then I saw Mario open the door.

"Ready for this Rosie?" He asked me.

"Sure I am Mario" I said.

"Okay, let's get into the forest quick" he said and saw the sun almost setting down. We walked away from the neighborhood and into the forest. As we walked the trees look less alive every second, first they look alive, then half dead and then dry trees with few leaves on.

"Are you ready for this Rosie?" Mario asked me while holding my hand.

"Yes. Is that it?" I pointed at the house that was in front of us. It looked very old and some windows were cracked at some places. The paint of the walls was dark grey color and I saw a few lights.

"Yes, let's go in to it" Mario said as he and I got to the front door.
