Chapter 3: The Bet
It was silent in the house. I wondered when my mom and dad would be back. It's a little ironic that the last words they said to me were "will you be ok?" I sighed and looked around. It's seemed like a pretty big house for only three people. I went to the roof, it was really high. But was it high enough? I looked down. Yeah…I stepped on the edge.
Tears started to form at the edges of my eyes. I closed them. This was it. My heart pounded. Come on. I opened my eyes. Why was this so hard? I lifted my leg, the next thing I knew, I was falling.
Then I stopped. I didn't hit the ground did I? I just…stopped. I opened my eyes. I was floating! Something was holding on to me. I looked up, "how the heck are you doing that!" I screamed at the white haired boy who caught me. He just looked down and said nothing. He looked familiar. But where I saw him from, I didn't remember. Everything that happened before all this was a blur.
We went to the roof and he put me down. He landed. I suddenly remembered where I saw him from. "Your that 'ghost'," I air quoted ghost "from the news!" "Yeah that would be me," he said. But still, I had that feeling that I saw him from somewhere other then the news. "Are you the one everyone is after?" I asked. "Yeah, that's me too" he said sighing. "Should you be out where people can see you?" I asked. "Haven't caught me yet have they? Besides, I didn't want another ghost running around" he said looking at me.
I looked down. "Yeah well, thanks…I guess." He raised his eyebrows, "you guess?" he asked. I looked at him, "I'm not really sure if I wanted to be saved," I said. "I can see that," he said. "Then why did you?" I asked him, annoyed. "Well…" he said, "why did you do it in the first place?" "Cause everything sucks!" I said. He laughed, "it can't be that bad." "I just don't want to go to a new school where people are just going to treat me like dirt. It never changes," I said.
He kept looking at me. "I bet that wont happen here," he said. "Oh yeah," I said "and I bet you not one person will talk to me tomorrow!" He smiled like he knew something I didn't. "Ok, so what are you going to give me if someone does?" I thought for a minute. "I'll never tell my parents, there ghost hunter's you know, where you are," I said. He laughed. "That would be great!" he said, "don't need more on my case!" He looked over at the Fenton's house.
"Ok, now what do you want me to give you if no one does talk to you?" he said, almost in a joke like tone. I looked at him. "You can fly, right?" He nodded. "Take me flying with you." "Deal" he said and we shook on it. I was surprised. I thought ghosts went threw everything. I looked at him again. He looked so familiar.
He looked around. My parents were coming home. "I better go," he said, and then he disappeared. As he left I felt my hand tingle. I felt like I was about to faint. But despite that, I felt happier then I had felt in years!
