I Do not own Ghost Whisperer. I do own the Keller Family and the blonde ghost.
I sighed and unwillingly got out of the car, slamming the door as I went. I angrily stuffed my hands deep into the pockets of my dark maroon hoodie. My mom was standing, holding the door open for my sister, when I arrived. I reached to hold the door open myself but Hanna closed it shut quickly so I walked into it. She covered her snorted laughter with her sleeve as she hid behind my mom like the coward that she was. If only she could witness some of the things I do in order to help the dead…
I opened the door and stepped inside, glaring at her. My mom had started to walk around when a young woman walked up to us. She had long brown hair and she was wearing a nice white suit. I had never really seen anyone wear something like that and I automatically liked her; at least she actually had style, unlike my mother.
"Hi," she said. "I'm Melinda. I own the shop."
"Hi, I'm Carrey and these are my 2 daughters, Hanna and Jamie." They shook hands.
God, what was with manners and women? Sometimes I wish I was a guy so I wouldn't have to put up with the bullshit that girls deal out. Like boy problems, and crap.
"I noticed you pull up and I realised that I've never seen you around and I just wanted to introduce myself. You're new, am I right?"
"Yes, we just moved here from New York. I used to live here when I was younger and I figured this would be a good place to, you know, settle down with my kids. Be a real family."
I rolled my eyes. No way in hell that that was going to happen. Melinda looked in my direction and smiled at me.
"It must be hard moving all the time," she said in understandment. I nodded. Even though I had just met her, I felt that Melinda and I could become good friends.
Another woman came up beside her. She had long dark hair, many piercings in her ears and a bigger body build than Melinda's.
"Who's this Mel?" She looked at us curiously. She seemed nice, although there was an air of over protectiveness about her.
"Delia, this is Carrey, Hanna, and Jamie. They're new in town. This is Delia," Melinda said.
"Hi," Delia said, smiling politely before turning back to Melinda. "I'm going to head out and pick up Ned, alright? He has basketball in a half hour and he cannot miss it!" and Delia was out the door. Melinda laughed sheepishly at her friend.
"Ned is Delia's son," she explained. "He's about 16. How old are you Jamie?
"She's 16," said Hanna, sticking her nose up in the air, trying to look cute. I glared at her while Melinda laughed slightly at my apparent dismay.
"Well since you're both 16, you guys could get to know each other. He could probably show you around town if you wanted." I looked at Melinda suspiciously. She smiled while my own mother seemed oblivious to what Melinda was trying to do: Hook me up with Ned. I wasn't so sure about getting a boyfriend so early after moving into a new town, plus how was I supposed to explain the ghosts?
"Hi, I'm Jamie, and I can see ghosts! I hope you don't mind! They'll probably pop up anywhere I go! Hope you still stick around!" Uh, NO!
"Maybe," I said unsurely. Melinda nodded, smiling.
"If you need anything, I'll be back here," she said as she slid behind the cashier counter. My mom and Hanna had started to walk around, looking at things, leaving me by myself, so I started looking at the antiques as well.
There was a small wall mirror on the wall above a faded white dresser; a picture of a play rabbit was propped up against a large rusty coat hanger. The things that really caught my eye was a pair of dark sunglasses. They looked familiar, but didn't really fit in with the environment. At the most they were a few months old. I picked them up and the air was suddenly cold. A familiar cold. It meant that there was a ghost nearby.
I knew he was there because of his beach blonde hair. I saw out of the corner of my eye Melinda's head snap up.
"Can you help me now?" he asked.
"I'll see what I can do," I whispered to him.
He nodded and looked around at my mom and sister.
"Is that your family? That woman and the little girl?"
I nodded, bewildered about why he would be asking about my family.
"You're lucky," he said, as he sighed and looked at them longingly. I scoffed quietly.
"You're kidding, right? Me? Lucky? To be living with them? Yeah, fun, moving all over the country. Lucky." I rolled my eyes sarcastically. I didn't notice Melinda quietly making her way over to me until she was standing beside me.
"Yes. She is very lucky," she said quietly looking at the ghost. "Aren't you?"
I could do nothing but gape at her. The dead boy looked gravely at me and disappeared, leaving nothing but the sunglasses. Melinda looked around to confirm that he was gone. She then looked at me, as I grimaced at her in embarrassment and shock. She had just talked to my ghost.
"You can see them too?" I asked in a whisper. She nodded.
"How long?"
She looked thoughtful for a moment and then said, "My whole life. Ever since I was a little girl. What about you?"
"Same," I said weakly. Melinda studied me carefully before saying, "How long has he been following you?"
"Only a little while. He popped up in out car just before we pulled up here." She nodded. I was quiet before I said, "Are there many ghosts in Grandview?"
"You don't know how many," she laughed, lightening the tense atmosphere. "I sometimes call it the ghost capital, because there's so many. You get used to it though." She laughed some more as she watched my face fall.
"Why don't you by tomorrow and we can talk more about this. I'll make sure Delia brings Ned by so you can meet him."
I blushed and Melinda winked at me. She put her hand on my shoulder and we walked over to Hanna and my mom.
"Carrey, right?" Melinda asked. My mom nodded. "Do you think it would be alright if Jamie came by the shop tomorrow? You know, to hang out and learn about Grandview a bit. Hey, Delia might even bring Ned!" she said.
My mom looked sceptical at first, since we had just moved into a new town, but she finally said , "I guess that would be alright. Call me when you need to be picked up, okay?"
"You don't have to worry about that, I can drive her," Melinda interjected.
"Alright, I guess you can go."
"The shop opens at 8:00 so you can drop Jamie off anytime around that."
My mom nodded. We walked up to the counter a few minutes later with a large pink and yellow watering can. It had a sunflower pattern painted on the sides.
"I'll see you tomorrow Jamie, alright?"
"Yeah," I said as we left.
"In the meantime, try not to get too involved with that ghost," she added quietly. I smiled as I exited.
When we got into the car, I smiled to myself ; I had made a friend and not just any ordinary friend, but someone who actually understood me. To only worry I had was not about the ghost, or the house, or my sister, but Ned. Was Melinda really going to try to set me up with him?
What does Melinda have in store for Ned and Jamie? Namie? or Jed? I know sooo uncool to conbine names:P Find out in chapter 3! So Ineed more reviews loverly people!
