My Ghost - Komahina

Chapter 2

I was sitting on my couch scrolling through different channels, hoping to find something that would catch my attention. But all I could think about was the ghost we talked to at the party last night. We only spoke to him for a little bit, but he just seems so interesting...

I would like to go back and talk to him, but I'm not even sure whose house that was. I could talk to Kazuichi, I'm sure he knows.

Right after thinking that, I quickly scrambled to my phone and texted Souda.

"Yo kaz, whose house were we at last night?"

After a few minutes, I got a response

 "It was Akane's house. She's a friend from my class, y?"

"Just curious"

"Ohhhh I know! You saw a cute guy there, didn't you?"

"No- wtf are you talking about?"

"Fine don't admit it, whatever. But you better thank me when you and your future boyfriend are married"

"Don't hold your breath"

I said before turning off my phone and tossing it on the couch. Akane, huh? I think I've seen her around before. Im pretty sure she's the really pretty one that eats way more in one day than I have in my lifetime.

I grabbed my jacket and threw on my shoes before heading to a ramen place down the street. I went there with Souda one time and a few of his friends. I was really just hoping she'd be there but even if she isn't, at least I'll still get a nice bowl of ramen.

After a few minutes I arrived and, thank god, she was there. Sitting at a back table with at least 15 empty bowls at the side and a large bowl that she was quickly slurping down. 

"Uh h-hey...Akane?" I quietly asked

"Huh?" She said with noodles still dripping out of her mouth "Ohhh I've seen you before...Kazuichi's friend, right?"

"Yeah, that's right. I went to your house party the other night and I uh, think I left my jacket there. Do you think I could go look for it?"

"A jacket? Sure, people left all kinds of stuff at my place. Uh here, I'm not done eating but you can take my house keys aaaaaanddd" she wrote her address down on a napkin and tossed her house keys onto the table. "There, make sure to lock the door after you're done and meet me back here, thanks."

"You...Trust me with this?"

"Yeah, of course. You are Soudas friend, if he trusts you then so do I."

"Thank you so much, I'll be fast."

She nodded her head and then went back to her bowl of ramen, then I left. I typed her address into my phone and quickly headed over to her house, hoping I could somehow speak to the ghost again.

I had just closed the door behind me and walked into the kitchen.

"You have to be shitting me. No way!" The Ouija board was still right where it had been, does akane never clean her house? I quickly sat down at the table.

..................

There he was.

The boy from last night.

He was here sitting in front of the board.

He was here for me.
