I put on a black tank top and some sweatpants, crawled into my bed and pulled up my big fluffy comforter so I was all snuggled in bed. I closed my eyes and tried to fall asleep. But as most nights my brain would not shut off and I was left reflecting.
A few weeks had passed and things almost felt, dare I say, normal? It was so easy to be friends with Danny, Tucker, and Valerie.
I loved talking with Valerie because she always threw the best shade at the popular kids and I could tell if I was ever having trouble with a boy or any trouble whatsoever, she would be there to listen to me, she's doesn't really show it too much but I can tell she is a really caring person.
Tucker and I somehow are friends, we argue sometimes especially since he found out that I'm an ultra-recyclo-vegetarian, we will have arguments about meat and vegetarianism, Mother Nature and how they need to not knock down trees to make new shopping malls and other things. We don't talk too much otherwise, maybe a conversation about electronics but not much, it's nice though whenever Danny does something stupid we will share glances of how Danny is just Captain Clueless sometimes. It's weird but I think if he were asked, he would say that he is truly one of my friends and that I am one of his.
Then there's Danny. I don't know we just click. We can talk about most things, sometimes even about ghosts. Those are always interesting since his parents know so much. He became a person that when I get to school in the morning I have to bite my lip so I don't start smiling like an idiot from down the hallway. We share moments too like when Tucker and Valerie are flirting and it's just getting annoying, in class sometimes we will try and make the other laugh by making a face or mocking the teacher. I think It started because I was totally zoned out one day and Danny was trying to get my attention for some reason and he was making weird faces to get my attention so I responded with a face. We actually almost got in trouble one day when a teacher turned around quicker than I expected and I was making a really weird face at Danny but managed to make it look like I was just making a weird face right before I "sneezed" I saw Danny biting his lip really hard and his face started to turn red from holding in his laughter both at my face and that I had managed to make it look like a convincing sneeze. Then some days in class when we look at each other it's different. We lock eyes and just sorta zone out with each other. I don't know if I have mentioned that since his messy hair is so jet black it just contrasts his bright blue crystal eyes even more making them stand out beautifully...
Anyway.
Ghost attacks are really common and I do see Phantom and he makes me fill up with heat but not romantic heat, I don't know how to describe it, like I feel like I am Spectra with him (which I am) but Spectra never really was someone before I came here, it was just a name for my ghost form. I feel like I have almost a different personality as her. I'm never insecure when I am Spectra but then the moment I change back to Sam I'm always a tad embarrassed that I can be so outgoing, confident and almost I don't really want to say it but seductive or sexy? I just don't know, it's not a bad thing it's just something that I never knew about myself, that I could be a different person as Spectra. It just never crossed my mind.
Back to who i am most of the time. I haven't told them about my family being rich and all, Danny just knows that my mom is snooty as hell but it hasn't come up but also I am worried about what might happen if they know. I really don't want their opinion of me to change because of my family. I am especially worried about Valerie's reaction since she used to be wealthy before the interaction with Phantom...
Gosh why the fuck can't I just fall asleep when my head hits the pillow! I'm tired and don't want to be stressed about things I don't have to be stressed about right now.
Oh yeah speaking of stressful things Dash and the popular kids haven't done anything to me since I broke Dash's nose but I keep getting bad looks from them. I honestly don't care what they think of me but I won't lie that I am nervous they might try and sneak something on me at some point. I wonder what their reaction would be that my family is rich as fuck, it would be a good laugh but I cringe to think about what they might do if they ever found out.
I'm glad that things have calmed down and that I have calmed down too. I'm not going to lie, I liked the attention I got from people as the new girl but I also realized that just wasn't me and I really didn't like that. I felt like I was trying to impress people because for once people were actually talking to me. It's really nice to just sit quietly and read like I used to at school but this time around I could be around friends and not have to worry about people being mean to me.
I got it, I remembered this thing where you count to 10 without thinking about anything else but if you do you have to start again at 1, so I will just do that until I fall asleep.
1. 2. 3. Danny.
1. 2. 3. 4. I shivered which made me think of ghosts.
1. Phantom.
Ok ok deep breath.
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Crystal blue eyes...
