Chapter 2
"I'm sorry Ever I thought you would get away fast enough." Eternity said sneaking up on me on my way to school; I could see her dim glow as if she had a light bulb in her.
"Don't worry about it" I said looking to the side to see people staring at me like usual.
"I wish I were alive, I would have helped you out." She said looking down at the floor as she walked next to me.
"You know you say you wish you were still alive a lot, but really its way better being dead" I said adjusting my bag on my shoulder.
I felt a light breeze on my cheek as if someone kissed me after drinking a cold drink, I look to the side where Eternity is and she is gone. I slumped a little lifted my hoodie over my head and entered the school grounds.
I groaned and walked straight to my usual spot next to the library and facing the cafeteria window and once again almost everyone is staring at me. I seriously don't get it I check myself everyday in the mirror and see if there is anything wrong with my face or what but I don't see anything, I don't get people now a days.
The bell is close to ringing to go to first hour my least favorite time of the day. I dig though my bag for my favorite book of all time 'Baby face' that I have read since I was in 7th grade. I flipped to the first page and began to read trying to ignore ever glare I get from girls and every stare I get from guys.
"Attention students please report to the auditorium there have been technical difficulties in the classrooms...thank you." The principal said in the intercom.
I read a few more sentences closed my book and shoved it in my bag a popping a piece of gum in my mouth. I stood and noticed Aaron the guy that Eternity was saying was looking at me, but what made me stop in my tracks was that he stood from his table looked right into my eyes and are you ready for this...he smiled at me. I gawked at him like a moron, everyone else just stared and he use to stare too but I don't know what I did that he smiled.
I shook my head and zipped past Aaron and his friends to the auditorium without looking at him again, I know it must be my imagination.
In the auditorium I sat in the second to the very back with my bag in my lap and one earphone in my ear and popped a bubble. The auditorium began to fill with students I ignored every eye on me and fumbled with my IPod.
"Why are you sitting back here Ever? You should be at least in the middle where the cool people are at." Eternity said appearing sitting down next to me.
"Because I like the back, if I were in the front I give better access to people who stare a lot AKA the whole school." I whispered still looking down at my IPod looking for a song.
"Gosh Ever you make it so hard to make you popular." She said crossing her arms
"Eternity I am not like you I never will." I whispered loudly looking at her now.
"That's the thing you are like me, remember when I went to school with you? You and I would have our own friends and the whole school knew us." She said tilting her head towards the students gathering in chairs.
"Yeah and now I'm the school freak now that you're gone because you know why....I talk to my dead sister." I almost said out loud but managed to whisper.
She frowned at me and a glittery tear fell from her eyes and disappeared with that familiar light breeze that I'm pretty sure I can only feel, outside thunder roared and shook the room.
"Great now I have to walk home in the rain." I said to myself hugging my bag to my chest and laying my chin on it. I inhaled deep and waited for whoever was going to talk on stage when I smell passed through my nose that made my mouth water.
