Falling in Love with a Ghost

Chapter 7

Mark's POV

Aww..what a waste! She couldn't come! Why?! 

I just sighed and ran a hand through my hair. I better enjoy the rides for her. We're in the amusement park right now.

"Hey. Are you okay? You're sighing all the time, dude." Kylie's friend asked. She's the boyish-type of girl. I think she's called Rachelle.

"I'm okay. It's just that...I wish she can come." I said.

"I'm sure she can come next time." She reassured me.

"Yeah." I smiled back at her. She's unexpectedly nice today. I knew she does have a soft spot.

"So, what do you want to ride?" I asked her. She just shrugged and looked away. I sighed. She's back to being Rachelle. I knew that the one I just talked to was not her! Maybe that was a witch! Just kidding! I don't believe in those things, especially ghosts.

I turned around to ask Jake and Maria. But what I saw was Jake flirting with Maria and I can see that Maria was enjoying it. Hmm..I think something's going on. *evil laugh*

"Hey, you two! We've decided to ride the Ferris wheel!" I shouted at them. I saw Jake tensed up and his eyes widened a bit that I barely noticed it. I heard Rachelle snort.  She seemed to know what I'm trying to do. Both of us know that they have the spark. Maria mouthed 'okay' to us. She dragged Jake towards the ferris wheel excitedly.

"Wanna join us inside?" he asked and pointed at the seats of the cabin, still smiling. I noticed that his smile was forced and his voice was shaky, but covered it professionally. Is he scared of heights? Oh, no! I must help him.

I was about to say yes, but Rachelle elbowed me hard. Ow! That hurts! Where did she get that kind of strength?! Then, she glared at me.

"Sorry, guys, but we can't. This pretty lady wants to be with me. Alone." I smiled smugly at her and winked. Maria gasped, but looked very happy for her. Jake looked shocked, too. What? Did they not  expect Rachelle to like me? When I looked at Rachelle, she was fuming and was glaring daggers at me.

But before her fist connect to my cheek, I scooted away from her.

"Okay! We'll go ahead. Hope you two have a good time later!" Maria said, grinning at Rachelle who was shooting daggers at her.

When  Jake went inside, I saw him trembled. I'm sorry, Jake! But you're a lucky one. You're only going to die because of fright, but me? I'm going to die because of that monster over there, fuming like a dragon. She's going to rip my head off, and add it to her collection. But at least, I'm sure among her collections, I'm the most handsome.

When it was our turn, Rachelle immediately went inside, stomping her feet. I just shook my head at her as I prepare myself for what will happen later inside. I took a seat in front of her.

"Why did you say that?" she asked in a dangerous tone.

"I couldn't think of any excuses that time, okay? Besides, I'm just joking." I shrugged. Yeah, I was just joking, so why did they take it seriously?

"I'm known as a boy-hater, okay? And it was destroyed by your 'joke' earlier. I'm not interested in boys. And that means, I'm not interested in you." she pointed out. "Except if you're gay. I'm interested in girl talks."

I thought she was going to say 'man-eater' 'cause she looks like it. Anyway, she's the first girl who's not interested in me. As the last part sunk in my head, my eyes widened.

"Hey! I'm not gay!"

"Of course, not." she smirked.

She's like Kylie. They're always snirking. Oh. She's Kylie's friend! Maybe I could ask her about Kylie.
