The Ghost Queen

Chapter 4- Having a Ghost Follow You Isn't Always the Best...

Danny POV

After being comforted by Ruse, we continued our talk. 

It wasn't as if my life was perfect, but Ruse gets mad whenever I mention my bullies. 

"So, this 'Dash' person had been bullying your whole life, 'Paulina' is a straight-up no bitchy person, 'Sam' and 'Tucker' stopped being your friends, and everyone hates you? That's some bull, Danny..." Ruse said with anger in her voice.

"I know, right?! Why do these things keep happening to me?!" I ranted.

"Look, from now on, I'm going to be your only friend, no matter what, okay?" Ruse said, holding my hand.

I felt tears coming, but I nodded with a smile on my face.

"Danny, time for dinner!" I heard Jack's cheery voice said.

I sigh and got up from the bed to head to the door, only to be stopped by Ruse. 

"Are you sure? You don't have to go," She said, obviously worried.

I nodded at her, and soon I opened the door to head to the kitchen.

I was a bit nervous, but I knew that nothing severe was going to happen to me.

And I know this because of Ruse and her overprotectiveness.

Anyway, once I arrived at the table, I didn't see Jazz there.

Usually, she would be here with us, but I think she said something about studying for a huge exam next week.

So, it's just me and my so-called parents. Great, I thought, looking at the two.

As soon as Maddie sat the food down, Jack began eating while I eat slower than usual.

"What's wrong, Danny?" My 'mom' asked me.

"Nothing is wrong," I bluntly lied, but she brought it.

"I swear that Ghost Boy will not be expected this turn of the outcome," Jack said with a cheerful face.

I essentially wanted to barf, but I didn't want to waste the food. 

Once I was done listening to them, I got up to leave but was stopped.

"Sweetie, are you okay?" 'Mom' asked.

I 'smiled' and nodded before leaving.

I arrived at my room and closed the door so that I wouldn't see anyone. 

I smiled when I saw Ruse near my bed while looking at some photos.

"Is this you?" She asked, pointing at the picture.

I nodded, and then, she said, "How did this become... that?"

"Hey! Not cool, dude," I said, blushing from embarrassment. 

"Sorry, sorry. It's just that you are so cute back then, but now, you're too handsome for your own good," She said honestly.

I agreed with her and suddenly felt tired.

Why do I feel dizzy? I thought, slipping into bed.

Ruse was shocked when I did this but then understood the situation. 

"I think the food you ate had some high-advanced ectoplasm in it. I think you're sick," She said bluntly.

I curled up into a ball and cry in pain.

"There, there, you will be fine, don't worry," She said while rubbing my head.

I groan in discomfort as I slowly started having blurry vision.
