Chapter Three
Ms. Carter closed the door and turned on the light. She sat down at the kitchen table and put the small crumpled up note on it. She had to hold it down with both hands to keep it flat. It read:
Dear Landon,
You obviously hadn't been returning my calls.
I told your mother what I was calling you for
But either she didn't tell you or you are
Avoiding me. How could you just forget me
Now that high school is over? Listen dude,
Call me when you get the chance and I'll
Tell you why I called in the first place.
Your old best friend,
Eric
'Oh dear.' Ms. Carter thought. She forgot about telling Landon what he had said in the phone calls. She wasn't about to wake Landon up from sleeping though. He needed it. She crumpled the letter back up and put it back by the door. She decided it would be best if Landon just found it himself. She was kind of tired too, so she decided to get into her Night gown and lay down. She decided to do a little bit of reading first.
As she was reading, almost everything in the story reminded her of Eric's call, and Eric's note. Oddly enough, she was even worried about Landon. She didn't know what to do. She put the book away. 'That's enough ghost stories for one night.' She thought.
The next morning, Landon came out into the kitchen, as usual, but Ms. Carter wasn't there. She was still sleeping. So he decided to prepare breakfast for her this time. He made Eggs and bacon. Then he made toast. She woke up shortly after and was really quite happy with it. "Thanks, Landon. Wow, I was just a bit more tired than usual. Did you get the note that." Ms. Carter stopped.
"What?" Landon asked.
"Nothing. Thanks again!" Ms. Carter forgot that she left the note where she found it.
"O.k..Oh yeah! Who called before?"
"Oh. Remember Eric? Your best friend from high school? It was him."
"Why does that shock you?"
"It doesn't. I never said it did."
"Oh okay. You catch his number?"
"Yes, it's right there by the phone."
Landon dialed the number. After one ring, he hung up. He didn't think he could do it after almost a year. He just stood there for a while, pondering. "Um, I'm going to go get the morning paper for you, ma." He opened the front door to see the note. He read it. He read it three times to be exact. Landon really missed him. He forgot all about getting the paper and closed the door. 'I can do this.' He thought. He picked up the phone again to give it one more shot.
'RING, RING.' He almost hung up.
'RING, RING.'
"Hello?"
"Oh, uh, hi, Eric?"
"Landon..?"
"Yeah. What's up?"
"Uh, I saw something. It made me think of you."
"What was it?"
"Dude, I know I wasn't imagining it. I saw..I saw Jamie."
Landon didn't say a word for what seemed like an hour but was only a few minutes. "Dude, Landon? Are you there?"
"Yo, Eric, I gotta go..but we should, we should hang out more often. Aight?"
"Okay dude, but watch out for yourself. Tell me if you see anything strange."
"Later."
"Bye."
Landon didn't know what to think. He had no idea what was going on. He thought he saw Jamie. Eric basically knew he saw Jamie. What was going on? He didn't know how to react to any of this. While he was still thinking about this, the phone rang.again.
