Ghost

Chapter 1: Scary Story

"Emily! Hey, honey we're here." My mom says. I look out the window and see a creepy, but a nice modern looking house. I get out of the car and help my mom with bringing the luggage in the house, after I'm done, I take a look around. Everything was covered in white sheets, so I started taking them all off and dust was everywhere in the air making me cough. I walk outside to get a box my mom wanted, and it spills out everywhere dropping all the kitchen things. "Hey, you need help?!" Someone hollers asking me. I look up and see a boy with brown hair, green eyes, and he was wearing a gray t-shirt and washed jeans. He kneeled down and helped me put the things back in the box, after we got done, he picked up the box and walked towards the house.

I opened the door for him, and he walked in and set the box on the counter and then wiped off his hands. He looked towards me and held out a hand for me to shake saying, "Hi, I'm Matthew Lenoard aka Matt." I shake his hand and say, "Emily Wattson." He smiles and my mom walks in saying, "Oh, we have a visitor! I'm Victoria Wattson." I roll my eyes and he say, "Hello Mrs. Wattson, I'm Matthew Lenoard." She smiles and thanks Matt for helping me with the boxes, mom shoos us off to play like we're kids so we walk around the house. We stopped at my room, and we sat down on the bed, and he asked, "Have you ever heard the story of this house?" "There's a story about this house?" I ask. He nods his head and stands up walking around and then looking out the window.

"There was this boy with his family who lived here. People say they have seen the boy looking out this window when they walk by this was the boys room. Story has it the boy died in this room one dark and stormy night, the wind blew hard, and it was raining. The thunder shook the house, and the boy was home alone that night while his parents were at work. He was playing his guitar when he heard a noise from downstairs, the tv was playing. He thought it was his mom and dad who were home already, so he went downstairs and saw no one. The phone rang and so he went over and picked it up, he only heard breathing on the other side. He put the phone down and looked around and the power went out. He went to the kitchen and grabbed a candle and lit it with a lighter.

He looked around and heard scratching on the window, he looked out and saw a branch scratching it. Then he saw a figure behind him from the window and turned around and saw no one there. He ran upstairs into his room and shut the door. He grabbed the phone from his desk and tried calling 911, but the line was dead. He turned around and was sliced in the stomach and he fell down and saw the figure in a black hoodie. He couldn't see his face, the boy scooted back to the window and leaned against it panting and crying in pain. The killer stood there watching the boy cry and said, "Your parents owe me, so I will take what they love." The boy shook his head and the killer slice his throat making it painless after torturing him to death. The parents came home that morning to see their child, the boy dead and a note saying This is not the end. The parents buried their kid and moved out of the house as soon as that happened." Matt says.

I stood up and looked around and didn't see Matthew anywhere, I felt something touch my shoulder and someone said, "BOO!" I turned around screaming and then punched the guy in the stomach. He was laughing and then groaned in pain and fell to the ground, my eyes widened, and I covered my mouth saying, "I'm so sorry." I see Matt on the ground, so I help him up and onto my bed. He starts laughing and I cross my arms and say, "It's not nice to scare a girl." He continues laughing and in between he says, "Well now I know this, you're so strong." I smile at him, and he shakes his head and looks out the window. "Guess I have to go home now because it's getting so late. Lock your window and door when you sleep, or the killer might come for you." He speaks. I smack him on the shoulder, and he laughs leaving my room.

I walk over to the window and lock it and see Matt waving at me, so I wave back and then he leaves. I look around my room and shrug my shoulders and then start unpacking everything. After I'm done, I walk downstairs and help mom with dinner as usual. Dad died when I was little in a car accident with my younger brother, my mom and I were the only ones that made it out alive with injuries. After dinner is done, we sit down and start eating, mom looks up at me and says, "Tomorrow you start a new school, are you excited?" I shrug my shoulders and say, "Not really it's just another new school." My mom stops eating and looks at me and I get up with my empty plate and wash it. "Night." I say and walk upstairs to my room.

I walk into my room and shut the door, locking it, just in case. I take off my clothes and walk into the bathroom that's attached to my room. I take a shower and then brush my hair and teeth; I look into the mirror and see myself. I have dark brown hair, pale skin, full lips, hazel green eyes. I slip on a white nightgown and walk into my bedroom; I tuck a piece of hair behind my ear and get into bed. I stared at the ceiling, not being able to sleep, but I heard something from my closet. I hide under the blanket and fall asleep eventually listening to noises from my closet. I woke up to the sun shining into my room and my mom knocking on the door saying breakfast was ready.

I get up and make my bed, I then grab some clothes and put on a striped shirt tucked into shorts and a black belt. I put my hair into a low ponytail and put on some mascara and lip gloss to top off the look. I slide on my white converse and grab my school bag; I make my way downstairs to eat breakfast and after that mom leaves for work while I'm stuck to ride the bus. I walk to the bus stop and wait for the bus in the cold. After the bus got here, I got on and there were no seats left so I had to stand in the back. There was a boy with white hair standing there and he scooted over so I could stand by him. After the bus stopped for school, I got off the bus and didn't see the boy with white hair again.

I walk into the parking lot and see Matt hanging out and wrestling with a blond guy. "Hey Matty." I say without thinking. Did I just say Matty? He looks up and says, "Hey strong girl!" He puts an arm around my shoulder and says, "Liam, this is Emily Wattson, a new student who moved into that house." Liam nods at me saying sup and then looks away, weird. I see the boy with white hair at the entrance of the school looking at me, I look at him and then look at Matt who is talking about nothing important to Liam. I look back up and he is gone, I look around and Matt asks, "Are you ok? Are you looking for someone or something?" I nod my head and ask, "Earlier on the bus there was this boy with white hair, he moved over so I could stand by him. I didn't see him again until just now at the school entrance, but he disappeared. Do you guys know who he is?" They furrow their eyebrows looking at each other and say, "There hasn't been anyone here with white hair since last year when that accident happened with that killer."

"That story you told me?" I asked. Matt nods his head yes and Liam says, "He was our best friend." Liam walks away and my eyes get wide, and I rush out saying, "I'm sorry I didn't know." "It's ok, he gets like that now." He speaks. I nod my head and we walk into school, after I put everything into my locker, I make my way to my first class with Liam and Matt. I sit down in the back left by the window and get my notebook out. A girl sits in front of me and starts chatting with Matt and Liam, she turns around and says, "I'm Alex Woods, Liam's twin sister." I nod saying, "Emily Wattson." She smiles and continues talking with them, but the boy with white hair walks in and I perk up.

He sits next to me in a seat and gets his notebook out, but I thought there was no white-haired boy in school since last year. I stare at him and tap his shoulder and ask, "What's your name?" He looks at me and he looks around and points at himself and asks, "Me?" I nod my head and he say, "Felix, you can see me?" I nodded my head because it was obvious, I could see him and Matt looked at me and asked, "Who are you talking to?" I point at Felix and say, "Him." Matt looks at the empty seat and says, "There's no one there Emily." I look back at the boy and Matt starts laughing and says, "Did my story get to you already?" I hit his shoulder and he winced, but I saw Liam chuckle. I smiled knowing I could make him at least smile instead of frown.

Class ends and I make my way out of class when the boy with white hair catches up with me and says, "What's your name?" I look at him scared because I didn't even hear him and say, "Emily Wattson." He nods his head and I walk to my locker; he leans up against another one right beside mine and stares at me. I look at him and I shut my locker and say, "Show me the lunchroom." He smiles and starts walking and soon we make it to the lunchroom. I see Liam, Matt, and Alex sitting and eating already. I go to walk over, but Felix pulls my bag back which pulls me back and he says, "Are you not going to get something to eat?" I nod and we walk over to get food together.

I sat down at the table and scooted over so Felix could sit, but they all just looked at me weirdly. "Why did you scoot over so much? Are you having someone else sit with us?" Liam asks. I look at them and say, "Guys you can't ignore him, he is sitting here already." "No one is sitting there Emily." Alex says. I look over and see Felix gone and shrug my shoulders and start eating. Soon school was over, and I rode the bus home, I saw Felix and sat next to him making him startled. I laugh a little and ask, "Did I scare you?" He shrugs his shoulders and I look around to see everyone staring at me like I'm crazy. I look back at Felix and see he is gone again. Did he get off already? I make it home and walk in to see mom cooking dinner without me.
