Story begins
"Beep beep beep beep!!" screamed my alarm. I quickly turned it off, so not to disturb the rest of my family. They would all yell at me later if it did. I hurriedly changed my cloths, today was going to be exciting.
"I can't wait to see all my friends!" I thought to myself. I was going to need energy that day; I was kept up all night because I felt a... presence. I hate it when ghosts spend the night, I can feel their presence and it keeps me awake. I decided to make toast and eggs, I got up early enough. In case you were wondering, that day was going to be my first day of high school. High school... that thing I had dreaded for the longest time. I must admit, the first day of school was always exciting. Well, for me, Amanda Clarke, I never made it to the first class. I always asked the same questions in my head constantly,
"Will they remember me? Who will I see? Will high school be that much different from middle school?" I got to school early. I saw someone -older then me I could tell- Showing off a gun to his friends. I saw it, and didn't think much of it. I thought it was a lighter. It was the newest fad. Then I saw a familiar face. It was Lesley! Yes, Lesley, my best friend. The one that was supposed to repeat the eighth grade. "LESLEY! What happened?!" I exclaimed with excitement.
"Apparently, I scored better on the tests then some of the high scholars here. So they let me in!" She said with a smile that seemed to part the clouds.
"That's great! High school will be way more fun with my best friend here." I smiled just as bright. The next minute, I heard a shot and felt searing pain in my chest. I don't even know what happened, but then my thoughts were drawn back too the 'lighter' in my last moments... I also heard screams. They were of the entire student body. They were so ominous I didn't even pay attention to them. For a minute, I saw a girl with blue hair floating on an oar.
"Damnit... blood loss... I'm dying," Were my thoughts. But then Kurumi said something inaudible. (Kurumi is the mysterious voice in my head. She won't tell me, but I think she is the spirit of something supernatural. She possesses me because only I can hear her.) Then I was just an observer. I wasn't in control in my body anymore... I was just seeing and hearing. Like a movie. The girl floating on the oar was still there.
"She must be the angel of death." I thought. Thinking was all I could do at that point. But before I could think any more, I was back in my body, completely healed. "Well that was close!" breathed Kurumi.
"You healed me?" I asked already knowing the answer. She didn't answer me because I already knew. Words could not explain what happened afterwards. Everything grew silent. So quiet, it was loud. No one believed what they had seen. There I was, on the floor, bloody, mistaken for dead. Then I got up as if nothing had happened. Everyone must have thought they were insane. I gathered my things and quickly bolted out of site. The 'Angel of Death' and Lesley followed.
"You're still here. Why?" I asked cautiously.
"Amanda, are you talking to ghosts again?" questioned Lesley. I replied,
"Well, of course. I almost died there. Now I can see them more then before." The Angel of Death just sat there, on her oar, with her mouth open wide. Even she couldn't believe what had happened.
"The schedule... is never wrong..." She muttered under her breath.
"I wonder what she means by that." I asked myself. Quickly, she flew away. I knew I hadn't seen the last of her. I explained what happened from my point of view to Lesley. She just sat there in awe, and then the school bell rang. We quickly made out way to our first class; we didn't have it together unfortunately. I was in English first; English was one of my favorite subjects. I saw David going to the same class as me, and quickly greeted him. David was my other best friend; he always got better grades then me. While we were walking, David asked me,
"There are rumors around school that you were shot in the chest this morning."
I lifted up my sweatshirt to expose the bloody hole in my shirt. The blood was dry; I stopped bleeding when Kurumi was done. When I was shot, I wasn't wearing my sweatshirt. His eyes grew wide,
"How can you be alive?" He asked. I quickly explained to him what happened. Then out of nowhere the Angel came again. I almost ran into her.
"Salutations! You are a very lucky girl! Getting shot in the chest. You should have died; the records say you were supposed to." She was saying surprisingly bright and happy. I replied saying,
"What does this mean, Angel?" I started calling her that for short. David had a very confused look on his face. What she said puzzled me,
"When you die, your 6th sense is a lot more acute. For someone who comes back to life, they have the opportunity to become a spirit detective." The bell rang, but I remained. Something told me school was pointless now.
