Chapter 5: Too close for Comfort
Danny's p.o.v.
"Tucker? ... Tucker?..." He still wasn't answering me. Probably still in la la land. "TUCKER!"
"What!" He said, practically shouting. " Oh, sorry dude. Just was in a daydream for a sec and didn't hear ya. So, what did you want?"
I pointed straight ahead. " I heard someone shout from over there, I secondly saw gold and silver glitter AGAIN, and thirdly, my ghost sense had gone off. I wonder why?" I looked around and saw that nothing living was around. I felt my hair on the back of my neck prickle.
" Hey, Tucker? Did you ever notice that we're the only ones out here and it's only 7 at night?" Tucker gave me a weird look.
" Danny, we 're not the only ones here! Look straight ahead and what do you see?"
I saw a small figure heading this way and reconized it immedealty. "Keona? What the heck is she doing out here?" I got pretty suspisous of Keona. I mean, no one is around, okay, except for me and Tucker, and she looked like a scared rabbit the closer we got to her.
Tucker then shouted to Keona, " Hey Keona! Whatcha doin' out here?"
" Well, you see, I got lost on the way back from getting me and Sam's schedules," she said, looking me and Tucker in the eyes.
"How could you get lost when there are signs everywhere?" I asked, wanting to hear the truth, but knowing I wouldn't get it.
Keona gave me a piercing look, then said innocently," There's signs?" I pointed to one while Tucker pointed to another. "Oh. I am the most unobservant person in the world. I hardly everay attention to my surroundings." She laughed nervously and looked down at her watch, which I hadn't noticed before.
" Wow! It's already 7:15! Sam must be wondering if I disappeared or something!" She broke into a run towards the dorms and she shouted back, " Catch you guys later!"
Once Keona was out of ear shot, I asked Tucker," Doesn't she seem to be hiding something to you?"
" Oh, well we all have our secrets Danny," he replied with a smile. " But your right. She acts like you when your around your parents."
I was about to say something more, when from out of nowhere, flashing red and warning signs appeared in my head. I gasped. The last time that happened. Sam was being kidnapped by the Lunch Lady Ghost.
" Tucker! We have to go find Sam! I think something's wrong!" I Grabbed Tucker by the wrist and ran at full speed back to the dorms.
Yes, I will admit, this was a slow chapter, but I had writer's block in the middle of it. So, now that I have the whole story planned... OFF TO MICROSOFT WORD! ( and I fly away...) :):)
