Befriended a ghost

Meet Sasha Alfredo

    My eyes roamed around the "ancient" building meant to be my new home, I call it ancient because it looked really old and kind of creepy...
This is so bad!
How will I cope living in this kind of house? What next ...........
"Sasha. My mum called distracting me from my thoughts
I shifted my gaze to her and saw her setting up the dinning table in it's space ...
"Don't just stand there". She chided . "Assist with something"
"Assist". I scoffed . "And what is there to assist with? this building look so outdated". I remarked angrily..
"Stop that Sasha".my mum warned. "this is your new home and there is nothing you can do about it". she finalised
"New home my foot". I retorted angrily
"Oh come on Sasha, this is going to be so much fun". My little sister Kamara who was running around the house excitedly joined in the conversation
I huffed. Fun! this is a nightmare I really want to wake up from.

I climbed up the old looking staircase and it led me to a short passage with four rooms
I pushed the door to the first room open and quickly banged it shut when I saw a King size bed .
"That must be my parent room". I muttered to myself.
Walking towards the second room, I noticed the door to the opposite room was slightly ajar so I walked towards it instead.
I peeped into the room to see my dad setting up my bed at a corner in the room.
Oh yeah! My room at last!
I opened the door wider and walked in
"Seems like someone is trying to change this old box room to a Princess room". I drawled looking around and only then did my dad notice me.
"hey Princess". he smiled . "When did you get here?"
"Not quite long". I frowned and he nodded absentmindedly , his gaze fixed on my Princess bed.
"But Dad this is just not right". I queried. "I mean out of all the houses , why must it be this old one?" I was trying to get him to reason with me.
He looked up at me and smiled . " I needed a house urgently and this was the only one available".
  "Available". I hissed silently. "why didn't we just stay over at the former house?
   "You know I just got a transfer here and considering the distance , it won't be possible".
"What ever". I rolled my eyes and he got off the floor , moving closer to me.
"Sasha, I know you are not happy with the whole idea of  staying here but I can assure that you will love it later".
" No dad, no". I half yelled . "I left everything I cherish most , I left my friends, my title as the "most popular girl", I left Jayden , I fucking left everything.... I stopped mid sentence , breaking down in tears, I couldn't hold it any longer.
  "Oh dear". he pulled me into a hug. "It is gonna be alright, and I believe you will get over it once you start school". he added , making my head spark fire.
I pulled out from the hug to stare at him
"School, and when will that be?"
"Tomorrow". he answered with a wide grin .
Tomorrow! Is he kidding me ?
"But dad isn't it too early , can't school wait?". squeezed my face in a little frown.
"No Princess". he shook his head negatively.
"but dad it is ...."
"Go freshen up and come down for dinner". he cut me off , and with that , walked out of the room.
  School!tomorrow! Is he for real! why can't he and mum just let me be? I sighed in anger and began walking to the bathroom when a shiny object hidden behind the cracked wall caught my attention.
   What is that? I moved closer to it , pulling it out .
  it was a golden chain with a D2 wordings inscripted on it .
I stared at it in awe , it was made with pure gold .
who could have kept it here? I wondered, Probably the previous owners...... but how is it possible? I mean the chain still looks new.....well! I really don't care , it belongs to me now .
I tossed it on the bed and walked into the bathroom to freshen up.
When done, I returned to the room and went over to where my boxes of clothes were kept .
I opened one of the box and searched through if for a comfortable pyjama and soon found one .
It was a pink pyjamas with flowers design.
I hurriedly put it on and was about leaving the room when I remembered the golden necklace, I ambled to the bed and picked it up and stared
at it in admiration, I bet it will cost a fortune.

Putting on the necklace, the light bulb went off and then turned on ...
I scoffed
   Even the light bulb is  fake ........ oh lest I forget! Let me introduce my self ....
I am Sasha Alfredo an 18 years old high school student . I am white , blue eyes, black hair , average height , curvy with a big ass which I am very proud of.
I have  an annoying 8 years old  sister named Kamara who is sometimes nice ......erm talking about my parent , my mum is a full time housewife which makes my father the bread winner of the family...
Dad works in a big company and has just been transferred, I hope this explains why we move to a new house..

On getting downstairs, I met my family seated around the dinning table......
"Are you done bathing?"My mum asked
"Isn't it obvious". I rolled my eyes , making her frown.
"Be careful Sasha".
"Whatever".'I muttered and sat down beside my little sister
I dished out a small quantity of food into a plate and soon began eating..
"So how do you like your new room?"My mom started , but I ignored her
"I am talking to you Sasha".She retorted and I scoffed
"What do you expect me to say? Just tell me, how will I like an old looking room with cracked wall". I fired at her .
She seemed to be taken back by my outburst and then she sighed
"I know your room  is kinda old but I promise ,it will be fixed before you get back from school tomorrow".
Hearing the word" school" made me frowned.
"Must I start school tomorrow?"
"Yes baby". My dad spoke for the first time.
"but it is ......."I tried to say but he cut me off
"You are starting school tomorrow and that is final". he finalised and Kamara chuckled
I glared at her and she stuck out her tongue...
Spoilt brat!

    After eating, I said a silent prayer to God for the delicious meal; then I stood up and began heading upstairs when my mum called.
"Sasha"
"Yes". I looked in her direction
"Won't you at least bade us good night ". She smiled lightly.
"Good night". I mumbled and  she nodded
"Good night princess". My dad bade . "make sure you wake early to prepare for school". he added.
"Oh yeah".I drawled, climbing up the stairs to my room.

Entering my room , I collapsed on the bed
I was really tired and needed a good rest .
I pulled up the blankets and made to sleep when the chain on my neck shone brightly.
What is this? I sat up in fear
I tried removing it , but it refused to come off , it was kinda stuck to my neck .
What is happening? Is this .... ...my thoughts trailed off when I felt a strange presence in the room.
I looked around but did not see anyone .
A chill of fear swept over me and goosebumps sprang over my hand ....
"Is anyone here?"I managed to ask , but there was no response
With my eyes wide open, I laid back on the bed
I looked around the room again and as expected , I did not see anyone
I sighed, it is probably just a figment of my imagination...
I closed my eyes , about to doze off when I heard a light footstep , coming my direction
"Oh God! It can't be real, it can't be real". I mumbled, my eyes still tightly closed
"Please help me". a tiny voice pleaded
"No". I shook my head, trying to remain positive."you are not real". my voice was trembling.
"Open your eyes". the voice said and when I did , I peed on my pants.
Right in front of me was a beautiful girl with long black hair .
I stared at her in aghast and tried to scream but no sound came out , I was so scared
"Please help me". She pleaded again ...
"Who ....are ......you? I stuttered
A light smile escaped from her lips."That is why I need your help".
"My help".I shuddered in fear
"Just go away please". I begged ,  but she shook her head
"I can't do that because you found me first"
I stared at her blankly , wondering what she meant.
"The necklace you are putting on belongs to me". She added and I gasped in shock ..
