Me and Mary go to some coffee shop in town after school.

"Do you like coffee?" Mary asks me as we walk in

"That all I drink" I tell her

We order our drinks and sit down.

"So are you liking it here" Mary ask as she takes a sip

"Yeah I am" I say even though I still miss home

"Bet your home sick" she say with sympathy

"Yeah but it's getting easier" I shrug

"Me, you and Kate should have a sleepover soon" she say excited

"Yeah that would be fun" I say but hopping it would be at her house or Kate's since I do live with a ghost

"Maybe this weekend?" She says hopefully

"Um yeah sounds good"

"And Don't let Kate get to you about your house Eli's right there's no such thing as ghost plus those stories are probably exaggerated" she says

"Yeah I know, the house doesn't scare me" I tell her

"Good" she smiles

"So are you and Jeff together?" I say trying to make conversation

"He wishes but no we are just friends" she laughs

"O" is all I say as I take a sip of coffee

"So do you like Eli?" She asks me

I automatically blush "I don't know him that well but he's nice"

"He seems to really like you" she says as she looks at her coffee

"I don't know why there's nothing really special about me" I accidentally say out loud

Shut up Jess!

"O please your the mysterious new girl in town and your sweet and quirky" she says trying to make me feel better

"Thanks" i give her a small smile

"I'll text Kate about this weekend, it will be fun we will watch movies and eat junk food" she says trying to change the subject

"That sounds fun I've never had a sleepover before" I tell her

"It will be really fun"

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

"I'm home" i yell

I plop on the couch.

"Hey" Luke says as he sits down next to me

"Hey" I great back

"Good day at school?" He asks

"Yeah same old some old" I shrug

"Your home later than normal"

"Yeah I went to a coffee shop in town with that girl Mary"I tell him

"Did you have a good time"

"Yeah actually she's nice" he smiles "she actually wants to have a sleepover" I say worried

"Here?" he asks a little worried himself

"I think so" I nod

"Well when you all start telling ghost stories I'll start moving stuff around and freak them out" he laughs

"Not funny" I try not to laugh

"But seriously what do girls do at sleepovers?" He asks me

"I don't know I've never been to one" I shrug

"I wonder if those pillow fights are a myth" he smirks

I reach and grab a couch pillow and hit him with it.

"Ow" he laughs looking at me in shock that I actually did that

"I thought you wanted to have a pillow fight" I smirk

"O it's on" he smirks back grabbing a pillow

I squeal and run to my room.

"You can't catch me" I say as I run up the stairs

I hear him laugh.
