…or, maybe things AREN'T quite normal yet. Apparently, Sam's anti-rumor didn't reach the popular people, and, well…you know how that can go.
See, as soon as I walked in, I saw Dash. I was expecting things to go as they normally did; he'd attack me. This time, no such thing happened. It was a bittersweet surprise; instead of coming after me, he ran away. I ran after him, to find out what it was, to find a sliver of hope that it wasn't what I feared it was.
I got him into a corner. He ducked down in a fetal position, and I asked what was going on. He looked at me, and whimpered "Please don't hurt me, I'm sorry for what I've done, just please, PLEASE don't hurt me!" Then he just sat there, shaking...it was obvious that he knew, even if he didn't say it. Still, I hoped he didn't...and I asked how he though I was going to hurt him. He brought up my ghost powers, and fully confirmed what I had been dreading. I told him not to know anyone else, and I'd "spare him," but I was afraid just about everyone else already knew.
Well, whether they really knew the truth or not, everyone certainly acted like they did. People stared at me all day, when I would walk by, someone would whisper something, or react in fear, or...something or other. Valerie kept glaring at me, and giving me silent threats…and to make it worse, the only person who I thought would react in a way I would have liked was out of town! Yep, you got it…Paulina was on vacation with her family. Nothing went right the whole day and if I don't figure something out fast, I'm gonna have a lot more days like that.
Wait…I wonder if I could…I think I may have an idea. I have to go now…I need as much practice time as I can get!
