Ghostly Heartbreak | Luke Patterson

Chapter 6

Once I stepped out of the gym, a heavy sigh escaped from me as I walked down through the hallway. Since we still had another class, students flooded the hallways, running to the exit. I walked to my locker and was met with a surprise. Danny was leaning against my locker with white roses. When he turned his head towards me, a smile crept on his face. "You did amazing babe," he handed the flowers to me.

"Thank you Danny," I grabbed the flowers from his hand and heard three poofs from behind him. As I walked by him to get to my locker, the boys stood there on a table watching me, Luke giving Danny a glare.

"So where do you wanna go after school," Danny asked as he closed my locker after I grabbed my backpack.

Suddenly, a puking noise filled the room. I was the only one to hear it, as it was Luke the one who did it.

I threw Luke a cold stare to shut up before giving my attention back to Danny, "Honestly, somewhere with food will be great. I'm starving." Luke scoffed at my response.

Danny moved his hand to hold mine, "Of course. Anything for you babe. I'll see you after class," he left to get to class. I felt a pang through my heart as I smiled at him. Guilt rushed through me.

Maybe if I put my all into this relationship again, then I can forget about how I feel about Luke. At the same time, I knew that me and Danny both have changed since my family died, Nate was his best friend.

I turned to the guys with a glare, but they poofed away. Not even a second later they poofed back and screamed, "JULIE."

I walked to where Julie stood hesitatingly. We still haven't talked about what happened last night. "You! Stop doing that! I'm serious," Julie scolded the boys.

"Whoa! This one's all on you. We were already here. Well, actually we were over there, spying on Nova talking to her boyfriend, and when we left then we came over here," Reggie spilled.

I scoffed, "I thought we talked about boundaries boys."

"Are we not gonna talk about what happened," Luke cut me off.

"Yeah the whole school saw you. It's kinda freaking me out," Julie said with a shoulder shrug.

I looked over at her nervously, "You did great Julie by the way," she smiled.

"Okay good, cause it's kind of freaking me out too," Alex explained nervously, "You know, you girls can see us, a-and then people could see us whenever we play music, and my clothes are made of air, but for some reason, I'm still getting a wedgie. So many questions."

I shook my head, "Alex that was way too much info, but you need to calm down," but still managed a smile at his scared state.

"Yea Nova's right calm the fuck down man," Luke said, "The important thing is we rocked that place. They were loving you," he told to Julie.

"Are you kidding? They loved us," Julie emphasized on 'us', making me feel excluded. "That was a great song, Luke. Thanks,"

Reggie was quick to change the subject to him, "And did you guys see the cheerleaders looking at me? I think they were looking at me," he grabbed onto Luke's shoulders, "Please tell me they were."

Luke grabbed Reggie's face, "Bro they were looking at you."

"Oh I knew it," Reggie swooned.

"Boys will be boys," I told Julie while crossing my arms.

"I'm so..I'm so confused, you know? The afterlife should come with instructions or a quick start guide or something," Alex continued frantically.

"Well, the good thing is that everyone thought you guys were holograms, and I got back into the program," Julie said solemnly.
