I quickly got ready for school and then headed downstairs to get a cup of coffee

"Morning" aunt Lora says in a sing song voice

"Morning" I great back

"Listen I'm going to be working late today again so I'm going to leave you money for a pizza" she says as she drinks her coffee

"Yeah that's fine" you would think I wouldn't want to be here alone at all by myself now that I know for sure there's a real ghost living here but I actually don't feel so scared anymore I really am weird

"Are you sure you don't want me to drive you to school?" She asks me

"I'm fine I promise. I'll see you later tonight"I say as I grab my bag and walk to the front door

LUNCH

"So what are you wearing to the party?" Mary asks me

"Not sure" I shrug

"Do you want to go shopping?" She asks growing excited

"I'm honestly not a big fan of shopping" I give her a small smile hoping she won't get offended

"What girl doesn't like shopping" Kate says rolling her eyes

"Shut up Kate" Mary gives her a dirty look  "it's fine me and Kate are going shopping after school if you want I can get you something"

"You don't have to do that" I shake my head

"It's honestly no big deal it will be fun and I promise I will find something really cute" she laugh

"Okay" I chuckle

"Can we please talk about something else" Jeff's moans

"I'm sure anything you wear you will look beautiful in" Eli whispers in my ear I feel my cheeks growing hot

****************

I unlock my door wondering what I'm going to do once I'm inside do I go downstairs and great him, do I act like he's not there

"I'm home" I yell so if he wants to come up he can

I go upstairs and put my stuff up

I come back downstairs and I see him coming out of the basement

"Hi" I say

"Hi" he says back

we both stand there awkwardly both not knowing what to do

"Uh why don't we go into the living room" I say

"Sound good" he says with a smile

We sit down but keeping our distant atleast I'm not the only one uncomfortable

"If you want I can go back stairs" he tells me

"No it's fine" I say

"How was school?" He asks

"It was fine I guess" I shrug

"Do you not like the new school?" He questions

"It's okay I like the school part but the meeting new people and socializing part I'm not a big fan of" I say as I play with my fingers

"I get it. do you miss your friends At your old school"

"Um I didn't really have any friends there either" I bet he's thinking what a loser

"Well your my first friend in a really long time" he smiles at me

"We're friends" I raise a eyebrow at him

"Well I hope we can be" he smirks

My first real friend is a ghost wow I'm pathetic
"So what do you normally do?" I ask

"Well sometimes I clean the basement or I read or watch tv nothing real" he shrugs I nod

"So uh Do you want to watch a movie?" I mean what do you do with a ghost

"Sounds great" he smiles happily

"Do you want to watch Casper?" I ask him

"Um" he says

"I'm kidding" I smirk

"Good one" he laughs

I put on a batman movie everyone likes batman

We sit there quietly it didn't really feel that awkward surprisingly

"I'm going to order a pizza" I tell him

"Here I'll pause it" he says grabbing the remote

I order a large cheese pizza

"They are on there way" I tell him once I get off the phone "can you eat?"

"No I don't eat anymore I don't even use the bathroom" he tells me

"O" I say

"I do miss pizza though" he says sadly

I want to ask him so many questions but it's not my business I hate when people ask me personal questions

"What else do you miss" I ask him hoping I'm not intruding

"Besides food I miss going to the movies and just being outside feeling the sun on my face, I even miss talking to people I've had no one to talk too in a really long time.." He sighs

"I'm sorry. Well you can talk to me" I say hoping to make him feel better

"Thanks" he give me a small smile

I hear the door bell ring we both get up him going to the kitchen me to the door

I open the door

"Hi" I say "here you go" I hand him the cash

"Do you want a plate" I hear Luke yell

"Yes" I yell back the pizza guy looks confused

"And a napkin?" He yells

"Yes" I yell back

"Here" he says wanting to leave

"Thanks" I say as I grab the pizza box from his hand and shut the door

I set the pizza down on the coffee table

"Here" Luke says handing me a plate and a napkin

"Thanks" I grab it and take a slice of pizza out

We unpause the movie and sit back on the couch

"I'm home" I hear aunt Lora say as she opens the door

"Hey" I say as I look at her and then look at Luke

"How's your day" she says as she sits in the loveseat

"Good" I try not to laugh
