Befriended a ghost

Starting from the beginning

                               Declan Davies
   
     Hearing the name Gwapo got me all confused. I mean how did Sasha get to know the name? could she be telling the truth?..no no no , that is not possible,Daphne is dead and gone.
"You need to believe me Declan". Sasha continued. "you really need to". she took a step forward.
  I moved back still. "Don't". I warned
  " why?" her voice wavered. "Do you hate me now? Do you think of me as crazy?"
     I stood there, staring at her , not uttering a word.
  "Don't just stare at me". she yelled. "Please say something". she turned sideways to her"so-called "Daphne
  "I told you he won't believe me. I told you he would  see me as crazy. can you see I was right Daphne? he even called me a sorceress". I rasped and broke down in tears.
I watched her confused  and then sighed.
"It is alright". I said trying to stop her from crying and her eyes lit up.
"Do you believe me now?"She asked , wiping the tears from her eyes.
I bit my upper lips not knowing what to say. do I believe her? hell no! the whole thing sounded so crazy but,  I just wanted her to stop crying.
Seeing her tears made my heart hurt so much.
"Do you?" She asked again.
"Can we just go back to the class, and pretend that like we never had this conversation". I ignored her question.
"No Declan".she shook her head. "that won't be possible. Daphne is hurting and she needs your help.
"help". I laughed mockingly. "I never knew ghost do need help. can't you see you are making no point?"I fired at her
  She swallowed hard . "Then what about the necklace? Don't you find it strange that I found it in my room?Don't you find it strange that the necklace is stuck around my neck?"she yelled, making me inhale deeply .
"it is real, Daphne is real, your twin sister is here and she is in tears right now". She added
"Fine". I leaned against the wall. If she is really here, can you please tell her to say something about our childhood?". I stared intently at her .
She quickly turned sideways  and then sighed sadly,shaking her head.
"She can't remember anything".
"how then do you expect me to believe?" I retorted. "no tell me how do you expect me to?"
"Guapo, The necklace".She picked her words and i scoffed.
"Do you think that is enough proof". I snickered. "why is she even here in the first place? or is she tired of the ghost world?"I jeered.
"Stop it Declan, she is your twin sister.......
"Spare me that bull shit". I cut her off . "I didn't ask her to jump off the bridge".
    "And what made you think she jumped off the bridge?"She fired at me
  "That was because, That was because.."I paused not knowing the reason.
"Go on . why did you stop? That was because of what of what?". She yelled. "You  are Daphne twin  so you should know her better . Does she look like someone who would  kill her self because of a lover?"
    I went stiff on the spot. "She got me there . She was right , Daphne would never ...........damn! Why didn't I ever think of this?
   She continued. "I think there is a foul play somewhere and we really need to find out what happened to your sister",
  My heart beat so violently that I grew pale and had to lean against the wall to keep myself from falling.
"you alright?"She stared at me concernedly look and I nodded slowly.
Is Daphne really here? I looked around the room
"Yes"
"why then can't she  say what happened to her?" I asked calmly.
"She doesn't remember what happened to her"
    "Oh". I nodded absentmindedly. "if she didn't jump off the bridge, then what happened to her?" I was confused. "how did her necklace even get to your room? I mean she She always put it on".
  "I don't know". She shrugged . "I am confused as well, but I think Cory knows something about it .
"Cory". My eyes widened in shock.
"Yes". she nodded . "she  was the first person I showed the necklace , but  she warned me never to show it that anyone .she also seemed to be scared of my house , most especially my room.
"And why would she be scared of your room?"I asked , still not understanding what she was trying to say .
  "Isn't it obvious". she stated . "that was where I found Daphne necklace"
   I scoffed silently. "Now I see where this is leading to" .
"What do you mean?" She arched her eyebrow.
   "Cory was the one who told the police the reason for Daphne death". I smacked my lips in anger.
  "And they believed her just like that?" She retorted in surprise.
"Yes. she was Daphne's best friend , so we had no reason to doubt her".
    "This is really crazy, So you mean you all were acting upon Cory's word?"She frowned and turned sideways
"Can you hear that Daphne? the reason for your death is not even certain"
I smiled lightly , watching her eat her self up , she must really like Daphne a lot!
  "And you what did you do about it? She snapped at me. "Did you also believe the stupid lie?"
  I took a deep breathe. "I had no time to think, My dad died on that  same day , my mom went crazy. it was just too tough for me.i rushed my words , trying to blink back my tears.
   "Oh Declan". She moved closer and held my hands."It is alright love".She assured
   Love! did she just call me love?  I smiled inwardly.
   "So where should we start from? She suddenly asked . "should we confront Cory?".
  "No"
"But why?" She queried.
   "I need to know where you stay first , you know I might be able to get some hit.
I will follow you home after school". I suggested . " if it is okay by you! I quickly added"
"hmmm". she shrugged. "I don't know how my mum would react, you know she is a disciplinarian"
"Oh if that is the case , I think we wil....
"Don't worry". She cut in . "I will handle my mom.
I smiled. "so what are we waiting for , let us go to the class.
  "Go ahead". I returned the smile . "I will follow behind you"
"Alright". I leaned over to give her a brief kiss, I could not get enough of her soft lips.
  "Go". she hit me playfully and I chuckled softly, taking a few steps forward; hesitated and then stop to face her
  "Tell daphne I love her too"
  With that , I ran out of the class room.
      I know it sound crazy , but I have a feeling that Daphne heard me.
     
                                  Sasha Alfredo
   
    "Did you hear that? Declan just told me he loves me, he believes I am here, he believes you Sasha". Daphne jumped excitedly.
   "And did you also see the kiss? he kissed me , your brother kissed me twice". I said excitedly
"Is this the reason you stayed back?"she smirked . "Come on, there is a class going on and you are here talking about a kiss". She rolled her eyes.
"You wouldn't understand, I am just so excited, Declan said he loves me".
"Oh yeah". She drawled. "can we go to class now, I really don't want to miss the biology lessons". She ran out of the class before I could respond.
I widened my eyes in surprise. Is she for real? so she left without waiting for me.
  Heaving a sigh , I scurried out of the empty classroom , to my class.

Entering, I met the biology teacher writing on the marker board .
Oh right! I am late
I stood at the entrance , taking a deep breathe
"Good morning ma". I greeted
"Morning". She paused writing and looked at me , glancing at her wristwatch.
"This is afternoon already"
   "Oh" was the only thing  I said as I was short of words.
She continued. "Can you please tell me where you are coming from?"
"erm..erm the principal office, yes the principal office". I lied
She stared at me for a moment, as if trying to figure out it I was lying and then sighed
"You can go have you seat"
"Thanks ma". I bowed lightly and walked to my seat .
Sitting down, my gaze wandered around for Daphne and saw her standing in front of the Declan.
    "Crazy". I muttered and reached into my bag for my biology note and phone; then I unlocked the phone and sent a text message to Declan
"Daphne is right in front of you"
I leaned back then , watching him  as his eyes traveled around the class and then at me.
"Where exactly is she?"he mouthed at me
"Right in front of you". I mouthed back at him and that was the exact time the teacher chose to interfere.
"Mr Davies! Miss Alfredo". She cleared her throat . "Can you please continue your lovey dovey after the class?"
   A ripple of laughter ran through the class, making me flush in embarrassment.
"I am sorry ma". Declan and I chorused together and the class laughed again.
"tsk ..tsk..tsk". The teacher shook her head and then continued with the lessons.
"Phew! That was so close". I muttered , looking around the class again and met Racheal deadly gaze.
  My heart froze for a second and I found myself shivering.
      What the hell is that look?
