I had to go to school. I needed to see my friends one last time. That's when I felt everything speed up and there I was in school. Is this a ghost thing?

I saw them all standing and laughing all the while revising math; Bella, Vanessa, Katy, Marilyn, Mathew and Michael.

Who knew this would be the last time I would see them?

I saw Mathew, Gosh he looked so perfect, I wish I would've gotten the chance to admit my feelings to him before this tragedy happened.

The bell rang and they all went to class, I watched as the math teacher walked in with a big smile on her face. That satanic smile. My friends were screwed.

"Are there any absents today?" The teacher asked.

I don't know why but Adam and Emily froze. Adam was the class clown and Emily was the loner who always bothered everyone with her depressing thoughts. I shrugged it off, and looked at my friends.

"There's Amanda Miss" Vanessa, one of my friend's said.

"Ahh, I see she'll have to reschedule another test then"

And then suddenly I was hit with various loud noises, only did I realize that they were thoughts. I tried to focus on my friends' thoughts the most.

I wonder where Amanda is ~Bella

Amanda would never miss a test as important as this, she must've overslept she'll be here soon ~Vanessa

I miss her already ~ Mathew

Wait did I just hear that or is this a ghostly hallucination? Ugh of course it's natural for him to miss you Amanda, you're his best friend. Gosh you could be so stupid sometimes. As I put an end to my inner rants, I see the principal enter the classroom interrupting the test. Everyone stands up as a sign of respect.

"Sit down class, I have bad news. Does anyone know why your friend Amanda isn't present here today?"

The class was dead silent. I saw some neutral faces and others worried.

Speak already ~ Mathew

My heart fluttered at that.

"Unfortunately you're classmate...passed away this morning"

"WHATT!!!" All five of my friends shouted.

Vanessa and Katy couldn't hold back the tears. Bella was too shocked I swear she didn't blink for a good 30 seconds.

Marilyn started laughing literally laughing "That was one nasty joke! Now tell us the truth. She can't be...sh-she can't be" She stuttered.

Mathew ran out of the classroom no one even bothered to stop him, he was shortly followed by a very red Michael.

The rest of the class was dead silent. Everyone was shocked, well hey this would've been a good story to tell the grandchildren if it wasn't for the fact that I'm Dead. Wow that's one sentence I didn't imagine saying.

I decided to follow Mathew I needed to see him and make sure he was okay.

I heard some sobs coming from the boys' bathroom. I saw Mathew lying on the floor crying his heart out on Michael. My heart just shattered I couldn't believe what I was seeing.

"This isn't fair man. This is surreal. I-I can't believe this. I didn't even get the chance to tell her I love her"

I froze at this. No way. No freaking way. Oh wait I'm forgetting one little detail I'm dead! Well this sucks.

"It certainly does"

I gasped as I heard a voice behind me. I froze at what I saw; a girl dressed totally in black with a devil-like tail, and next to her was guy with white wings and a halo and wearing a white attire.

"Oh great now I have my own demon and guardian angel, well if this isn't clichéd then I don't know what is, what's next? Are you going to shrink and float on my shoulders?"

"Watch your tone maggot; you are in the presence of a superior power and whatever this guy is here for" The girl said intimidatingly.

"I'm sorry for her attitude, she's always like this. Let me present myself, I'm Angelo and this is Malefica, and as you guessed earlier I am an angel and she is a demon"

"Good so I'm guessing you're going to tell me, why I died, why I'm still here and why do I have an angel and demon speaking to me right now" I was frustrated and I needed answers.

"Hold your horses, what was it again? Oh right Amandine! You need to come with us to the Dark lord Lucifer and Celestus, this guy's boss"

"It's Amanda, and I'm not going anywhere till you give me answers"

"You little-..."

"I'll handle this Malefica" Angelo interrupted Malefica before she uttered any colorful words from that venomous mouth of hers.

"Amanda, for now you are nothing but a spirit, in other words a ghost. You weren't supposed to die, not according to Azrael's books at least. Someone preplanned this. You're not an ordinary girl. You are Amandine Cornileus Balthazar, daughter of Cornileus Balthazar. I think His Honor Celestus should continue your father's story"

"You forgot to mention the-.."

This time I interrupted Malefica

"Yeah yeah the dark lord of evil Lucifer, let's go"

She was shocked at my outburst but quickly recovered and I was soon surrounded with dark smoke clouds and I felt dizzy. I found myself in some kind of Roman version of Stonehenge. Dark and luminous bright smoke clouds appeared at the same time each revealing a different person.
