The next Monday PJ limped into the classroom a little before the lesson was to begin.
"What happened to you?!" Roxanne asked when she saw him.
"The pudgy ghost dropped off this apology note and I crashed on my bike when I tried to catch him." PJ replied as he handed the note over.
"What did he look like?"
"He was still disguised so I couldn't tell."
After reading over the note Roxanne thought a moment. She then snickered a bit as she wrote something on the back before handing the note back to PJ saying "See to it the pudgy ghost gets this.".
"Sure thing." PJ said before limping to his seat.
Roxanne then sat down next to Max and whispered upsetly. "How long did you know."
"I found out right before the weekend and figured I'd give him a chance to tell you himself." Max answered in a whisper before class bell rang.
School went on normally until lunch. As PJ walked toward the lunch table with a tray stacked precariously with food he slipped and all the food fell on him. He then muttered something to himself as he scrambled to recover what he could onto his tray.
As PJ passed by Roxanne she grabbed him by the ear, dragged it to her mouth, and said "You're forgiven buuut, YOU'D BETTER NOT TRY ANYTHING LIKE THAT AGAIN." before releasing hold of his ear.
Official, the pudgy ghost was never caught and everyone gave up on finding him. However after some time it became an open secret in that school, and while PJ's official record was safe, his reputation was permanently stained. He was never quite the same after that and always blamed Max for getting him caught.
