Okay so I find myself humming the mission impossible theme tune while I walk to class, which yes, I am late for. Why? Hmmm, I'm not too sure. I guess I was just too caught up in my Super mario game to really care if class had already started or not. Yea that's right, super mario. I go vintage old school when it comes to video games.
I walk into the class room just as i finnish humming the song. Great timing huh? But when I step into the room, all eyes are on me. Granted, I do like attention, but this was a little much. The teacher began to say something when I looked up to the back of the class room and saw someone. A guy, couldn't be any older than me and my sisters but at the same time, he looked sixty. And dead. Grey skin, kind like he'd been drowned. So, of course, like any normal person, when I saw this guy, I screamed. Only from shock. But that's where the problem lies.
Looking up and seeing a dead guy stood in your class room takes you by surprise. And when you're a witch who gets taken surprise by a dead guy, things happen.
I accidently freezed everyone in the room, well, apart from myself, Peyton and Pandora. But I also, kinda, maybe brought all of the books from the bookshelves into the middle of the room...and blew the chalk board up. Ooops? Peyton and Pandora jumped up and ran down to me. But as I looked up for the dead guy, he'd already disapeared.
"Parker! What the hell? What did you do that for?" Trust Peyton to set the Spanish Inquisition before seeing if I was alright. but Pandora just shrugged.
"Atleast she froze the room first" Awww, she is so like Aunt Paige it's not even funny. But I think Peyton may have growled at me.
"Yes, but the point is, why the hell did you blow up the book case and chalk bord?!"
"Well, technically I only pushed the book case over, not blow it up"
"Parker!"
"Peyton! I freaked, okay? You would have done the same too if you saw a dead guy stood at the back of your class room!"
"What?!" Both of them glanced around the room.
"Parker, there's no one here"
"Well duh, thank you for that captain obvious. He disapeared" Pandora looked at me wearily before asking, "This dead guy wasn't 'here' like your friend 'Paco', was he?"
Oh God. A girl has one imaginary friend when she was seven and it sticks with her for life? Gimme a break already!
"No Dora, not like Paco. Besides, Paco was real...in my head. Look, the point is, I came in here and casper the not so friendly looking ghost was stood at the back of the room. He freaked me out okay? I'm sorry. You guys know I have no control of my powers when I'm surprised. Do I have to remind you of the surprise birthday party you threw me last year?"
"A dead guy?"
"Yes Peyton, a dead guy"
"How do you know he was dead?"
"Because no one else saw him. Plus, when your skin is falling off and you're looking a little water logged from drowining, I think it's a safe suspision"
"This is insane, Parker. There was no one here alright. If there was, Dora and I would have seen them too"
"Oh, you mean like Dora and I saw great grandma when you did your little sayance?"
"She was there! She really was!"
"That's my point! Just because some body else didn't see it, doesn't mean it wasn't there!"
"Look, Parker, I'm not going to argue over this with you. Just, put the books back and un freeze the room before someone walks in"
"And what do you want me to do about the chalk board?"
"I can take care of that" Pandora pointed her hand at the chalk board and before we knew it, a brand new one stood in it's place. Well, not exactly brand new. She had obviously exchanged it with the one from math class since it had one or two equasions written on it, but it would do.
As Peyton and Pandora walked back to their seats, I made quick work of replacing the books on the shelf. I just wish one of us had seen the shocked face stood outside the class room peering in through the door.
