Chapter 10

Kylie's POV

"Uhm..Rachelle, I have something to tell you." I looked up to see Rachelle nod, motioning me to continue.

"You know that Kris is a ghost, right?" I bit my bottom lip, a habit of mine when I get nervous.

She narrowed her eyes. "Where is this going, Kylie?"

"Do you like him?" Okay, I said it already. No more beating around the bush.

"What if I say 'yes'? I know what you're thinking. You're thinking that I must not like him because he's a ghost." She said in a low voice. Oh, my God. Why did she have to be so smart?! She seems upset. This is not good.

Mission abort!! Mission abort!!

No, I can do this. It's for her sake.

"I...Okay, that's right. But it's for your own good. In the end, the one who will be hurt is you! And, sorry to say this, but he already have someone else he loves!" I don't know where the courage to say that came from.

"And that someone is you?"

Huh? Where did that come from? Where did she get that, in planet Mars? How did that- I mean why would she think that??

Okay, that question caught me off guard. "What?" I asked dumbfoundedly. Just only the image of Kris liking me is making me laugh my ass off.

She must've noticed my WTF look. "Okay, I must've guessed wrong." She said.

"Anyway, you have to stop liking him." I said in a straight face. I just shrugged off the feeling of Kris liking me.

Ew! I mean, that's great! Having someone who like you is great! But, having someone who loves to hate you is something else.

"You can't just stop your feelings like that! It's not a switch that you could just turn on and off whenever you want! You can't make your feelings go away in just a snap of your fingers!"  She yelled.

"I.." Before I could continue, she already spoke.

"Imagine if I told you to stop liking Mark because of just a small reason."

I opened my mouth to say 'sorry', but she already walked out of the room.

Why didn't I think about this before? If I were her,of course, I won't stop liking someone I like just because he's a ghost.

But in her case earlier, I just slapped the painful reality in her face. Ugh!!

You're so stupid, my other self said.

"Shut up!" I muttered. "I already know that."

I'm going to apologize to her later.

I went downstairs. I saw Rachelle bumped her shoulders roughly with Mark's.

Okay, I know what I did to her is bad. Very bad. But she didn't have to be angry with Mark.

Mark almost lost his balance. He was shocked. His eyes met mine. He must've saw through me because before I knew it, I was pulled into a hug with two warm arms around me.

"Get a room, both of you!" Kris said with his venomous tone. Rachelle was beside him with an I-don't-care-about-that-b*tch look.

I sighed, and dragged Mark towards my room.

"Wait. You're actually going to do it?" Kris asked with a shocked expression plastered on his gor- I mean ugly face.

"Going to do what?" I shot him an annoyed look.
