I know I said this chapter would be up yesterday, but the computer crashed and i only figured out how to fix it like 20 min. ago... ? time: Would you like longer chapters than this one?????? If more people say yes then it will only be after chapter 4... so 5 and higher would be longer if you wanted to... TTFN!


FLASH BACK

My day had already started out bad. First, my alarm clock didn't go off and while I'm brushing my hair a screaming ghost pops up behind me and scares the living daylight out of me. Once she calmed down and stopped screaming, she started talking to me. She supposedly fell off a cliff because she felt like she was falling and the last thing she remembers is being on top of a mountain making a picture, so I put one and one together. Then she just disappeared. Rude. I'm already late, so Jake is honking for all he's worth, while I'm still gathering my homework by my bed. Stupid teachers always give you too much homework. Plus the ghost from last night was 'feeling lonely' and wanted to talk. So I had a rough night.

Then, when I get to school, Kelly Prescott is talking about this guy she met on the internet from the cruise that we are going on in 6 days. "He sent a picture of himself. He's so picture perfect, look." She says showing everyone a picture. I don't get to see it, of course, even though I walked right by her.

"Hey Cee." I say taking a seat next to her.

"Hey Suze." She says looking up from her book. "How are ya?"

"I'm fi-"

"Um, you can't sit there." Interrupts Kelly looking back at me.

"Why not?" I ask with some attitude.

"Because….. There's a new guy in school and he's gonna sit there." I look at her angrily.

"Well, he can sit right next to you then." I say in a fake voice pointing to the seat in front of me. I know, I'm being nice, too nice. But only because I'm trying to stay out of trouble.

"No…… Jamie's sitting there….. Duh!" She starts laughing with her friends at that.

"Su-uze" warns CeeCee in a low voice. I ignore her warning and give Kelly a small smile.

"Well that's just too darn bad then isn't it?" I say sarcastically. She stops laughing and glares at me. I just snuggle in my chair and glare right back. The bell rings and people crowd in quickly.

"Good morning class," Says Mr. Deck. Kelly and her 'posse' had already sat down properly and were pretending to listen. I look over at CeeCee.

"We have a transfer student that is joining us today. His name is Paul Satler from Seattle."

"It's actually Slater," says a voice coolly.
