Chapter 2: Too Busy Hunting Ghosts
Mary sighed as she walked into her new school, Casper High. When she walked in she felt really nervous. Her stomach felt like a rock was in it. When she came to her assigned locker that she got at the office earlier, at the corner of her eye she saw a boy looking of 14. He was with another boy and a girl. Mary sighed. He's so hot, she thought. She started to remember her other boyfriend in which was back at her old school. She was with him for a year and a half. She found moving the perfect reason to dump him. She's been wanting to. He just piled up all this pressure on her with stupid stuff, and then she'd cool off, and then he go crack a rude joke about her best friend which he hates. Smart move. She missed her friends terribly.
Suddenly a guy came over dressed in a red jacket. Quarterback, Mary thought. The red jacket leaned on the lockers coolly. Oh I'm falling over already, thought Mary sarcastically. "So do you like quarterbacks?" the boy said. Mary could have laughed. She just rolled her eyes and closed her locker. "Not much" she said. She gazed over watching Danny walk away. The boy seemed to notice her eyes glow. "I'm Dash" he said it like he was rushing. "Mary." Mary said. She leaned on her locker gazing. Danny had his back turned to her, but she could picture his face. "Well, Mary..." Dash noticed she sunk a little. He followed her gaze. He gritted his teeth. "Fenton..." he muttered. "Excuse me?" Mary said. "Oh, You don't want to hang out with those losers over there." Dash smiled. Mary turned to him. "And, may I ask, why?" she was usually so shy, but this was a new school, a new shot at things. "They look like good friends." She continued. Dash noticed her disappointed look as Danny left. "Because...because..." Dash stammered. "I'm going to go to class now. Nice meeting you, Dash." Mary said leaving.
She unfolded her schedule. She groaned as she had math now. She heard Dash yelling at someone but couldn't make out what he was yelling. She walked in the math class, wow she missed her old math teacher a lot, and sat at an empty desk. She took out a piece of notebook paper and began writing. Quickly, she began erasing and writing until the teacher came in. At that point, she folded it up and stuffed it in her pocket, praying that it won't fall out. When math was over, she saw her next class was biology. She looked up at the classroom and saw the boy and his two friends walk into it. She drew in a sharp breath, and felt the note in her pocket. I've done this before, Mary reminded herself. Then she felt her face go red with embarrassment. Great thanks for reminding me, she thought. "Now or never." She muttered.
She walked over to where an empty desk was. She saw the boy look at her, but when she looked at him, he stopped looking. He's smiling! She thought. She started walking over, feeling faint. Keep your head up, she told herself. Don't chicken out now. When she went over she saw the boy looking at his friend, his friend the girl. "Hey...umm..." the girl said. Mary took a breath and told the 3 friends her name. "I'm Sam." The girl said. "Who are your friends Sam?" Mary said, drawing an invisible line on the desk. She felt her face go red. Darn it! She thought. Stupid blushing!
"This is Danny," Sam pointed to the boy with the blue eyes and the awesome hair. Mary melted inside. "And this is Tucker." Sam continued. She pointed to a boy with glasses (not much like her own) and a computer device thing in his hand. "Hi..." Danny said. "Hi, Danny." Mary said. She felt her face go even redder. She quickly took the note out and slid it across the desk toward Danny. She lifted her hand and turned around and quickly sat down at her (far away) desk. She breathed slowly as the teacher came in. She avoided looking in Danny's direction. Of course the teacher had to walk over to that part in the room. She tried in vain to just look at the teacher. Her face turned normal again.
