Chapter 10
Diana and Alex ran into different alleyways in the opposite direction. They changed back to normal and ran toward Casper High forgetting about each other's alter egos.
Diana and Alex ran through the door of Mr. Lancer's room at the same time. Mr. Lancer was writing an equation on the chalkboard. He turned to look at them and so did the class.
"Late again Mr. Blade? Oh, and Miss Fenton too. Just wonderful!" Mr. Lancer said sarcastically. Diana tried to explain herself while Alex just stood there.
"Mr. Lancer I can explain! Well…actually, I…"
Mr. Lancer interrupted her. "I don't want to hear any excuses Diana. Now both of you take your seats!"
Diana and Alex both did so. Diana took a seat next to Whittany while Alex took his normal seat in the back.
Whittany leaned over and whispered to Diana, "What was that all about?"
"I'll tell you guys everything at lunch." Diana said.
Diana walked out of the lunch line to get to her and her friends regular table. On her plate was a turkey sandwich, pudding, tator tots, and chocolate milk. She wouldn't eat very much of it though. She had a lot to tell her friend and the turkey didn't even taste like turkey and the pudding had little orange clumps in it and the pudding was vanilla. Diana hated vanilla and the clumps didn't look very appetizing.
Diana took her regular seat at her regular table sitting to the right of Kelly and Whittany sitting to the left of Kelly. Michael, apparently, wasn't there yet.
Kelly leaned in toward Diana while Diana played with her gross pudding with a fork. Diana noticed Kelly and stared at her weirdly. "Are you still mad at me?" Kelly asked her.
"Yes." Diana answered.
Kelly frowned. "Just one word to answer me? That's it?"
Diana looked at her. "Well it's the truth isn't it?" Kelly moaned.
"Diana, I'm sorry already! Will you forgive me?" Kelly begged. Diana didn't even look at her. "I don't know. I don't think you deserve it."
Kelly opened her mouth in shock. "That's cold Diana!" Diana just smiled. Kelly would get over it and she would forgive her soon enough.
Whittany looked over at Diana. "So, what's with you being late to math and all?" She asked changing the subject.
"Well I was gonna tell you guys when Michael go here."
"Oh, we'll fill him in later." Kelly said.
"Fine. Well, my dad said I could fly to school…" Diana had called all of them and told them everything that had happened at the dinner table the other night. "…Then I ran into this ghost boy on my way and…" This time it was Kelly who interrupted.
"Was he cute?"
"He was shooting ghost beams at me!" Diana yelled at Kelly.
Kelly backed away a little. "Fine! Fine! Gosh!" Diana started again, "And then we started fighting and then I heard the school bell ring and then I ran to class. Then Alex showed up."
"What happened to the ghost?" Whittany asked? Diana shrugged. "I don't know and I don't care as long as he doesn't come back."
Just then Michael walked up to the table but he wasn't alone. Diana sat with her back straight and started to sweat a little. The person Michael was with was Alex.
"Hey guys!" Michael greeted his friends. "Do you mind if Alex sits with us?"
"I don't mind." Whittany and Kelly said in unison. They all looked at Diana waiting for her reply. Diana just looked at Alex nervously. "Um, sure." Diana finally said. Michael smiled. "Great!"
Michael took his seat next to Whittany leaving Alex the empty spot next to Diana. Alex turned to Diana. "Hey!"
Kelly leaned closer to Alex. "Oh, hi Alex!" Alex looked at Kelly, "Wasn't talking to you." Kelly looked away annoyed. If Diana and Alex didn't want to talk to her that was fine with her. Michael snickered. Kelly gave him a dirty look and Michael stopped.
