C H A P T E R 4: C L O S E R

Danny POV

I slide into my maths class, late again. These damn ghosts' attacks were getting more and more frequent and as much as it was fun to use his powers was no fun detentions for being late were not.

"Late again Mr Fenten. Dare I need to tell you when and where?" Lancer turned back to the board without waiting for an answer. I sighed and headed for his seat next to Tucker, who was waiting for the details of the ghost.

While Lancer's back was turned I filled Tucker in about the attack and as usual he said he wanted to be there next time. I shrugged the comment off and continued doing the questions that had been set.

The period went slowly but it always did and by the time it ended my brain felt dead – 'double maths first thing Mon morning is not good.' I said to Tucker I'd catch up with him and Sam later and headed towards my locker when a trail of blue mist escaped my mouth. I quickly looked about the corridor for a way out the school and saw a fire exit.

Dash POV

I watched him leave the room with his friend while I waited on the other jocks who were still in the middle of their conversation. When we finally did leave the class I noticed Fenten walking down an empty corridor. 'Perfect, now I can talk to him alone.'

I told the others I needed to take care of something and they nodded their heads and the ones who had seen Fenten said "Don't go to easy on him" and stuff like that. I smirked and took off down the corridor after him. I just got to the corner when I heard a door slam shut. I looked down the new corridor and saw that the only door was the fire exit one so I opened it and…

He was there. His white hair being blown to the side by the wind. He was only a few feet away so I could have touched him if I wanted. I was about to when he turned around and saw me. A flash of surprise passed through his eyes before he disappeared.

I stood there trying to work out why he was surprised to see someone after all I had seen him before. I let it pass and as I turned to walk back through the door I had a sudden thought. 'Where did Fenten go?
