The next day was school day. She woke up late again and didn’t have the time to even breakfast. When she got to the bus, she was combing her wet hair and fixing up her school uniform. She mutters angrily about someone not waking her up. I laughed a little. The naïve part of her never lets me down.
“You sure are a very good stalker.” My very own guardian angel’s head appeared in front of me in upside down.
“GABE! YOU FREAK! DON’T COME IN BY THE ROOF!” I yelped in surprise. Yes, even something like me can get surprised. He came in with a big smile, once again floating in mid-air. Well, just like me.
“Haha. You should have seen your face.” Just don’t mind him, Free. He’s just here to annoy you. I sat just in front of her and waited for the bus to arrive at their school.
You know what they say, “Grades don’t measure Intelligence”? No? This is good info. I’ve hated studying like, when I was born.
“Hey Gabe, why don’t I see other guardian angels besides you and St. Michael?” I asked randomly. I floated out the car. I didn’t want anybody to feel my presence.
“Why are you calling me Gabe now? You should be respectful to your elders!” He followed me up at the top of the car.
“Whatever. Just answer my question.”
“You can see me since I am your Guardian Angel. Michael appears to you whenever he wants. So, like Michael, the other angels are only seen when they want you to.”
“Oh. So—“
“Why did the Great St. Michael want you to see him? That question is for him to answer.”
“How’d you know that?”
He sneered at me. “We Guardian Angels can see or hear their kid’s thoughts. And I love hearing yours, they’re quite humorous.”
“What are you talking about?” I shoved his evil smile off and he just burst out in laughter.
“Oh come on. ‘I just want to watch her in peace.’ Don’t lie to me.”
“I wasn’t- I don’t!!”
“Lying isn’t allowed in heaven my good friend. That’s why I know you’re in love with her.”
“I’m not!” I started to feel something weird inside this soul of mine. It felt like a whirlwind inside, it was deep and absorbing. I think I remember this sensation; it was when I was alive.
“Well, I know for SURE that you want to know what’s in her mind.” He says. “Am I right, loverboy?”
“Well, yes.” I replied. “Ignoring the ‘loverboy’ comment.”
He sighed. “You do understand that you have to ask the dude, right?”
“Yep. I’m pretty much okay with that. After all, I can’t feel pain. I am a ghost.”
“Don’t be too sure about that, boy.”
I jumped a little. I think I was getting used to him appearing so suddenly. “Hi, St. Michael, uhh, the Commander-in-Chief of all the hierarchies of the Heavenly Hosts, how lucky am I to see you.”
“And you call me ‘Gabe’. How unfair can you get?” I heard Gabe mutter from afar.
“Kid, as an angel, my philosophy relies solely on the Lord’s virtues. If I were you, I would respect my guardian.” He says unusually kind.
“Well, I’m sorry, St. Gabriel. I was just getting used to you.” I uttered sheepishly. “Anyways, can you read her mind too? Like how he can?”
He nods solemnly. I was in great excitement. I wanted to hear her thoughts, even if it was in another’s voice. I noticed the bus reach the school. I wonder how we could keep up with the bus without even trying. Oh well, life’s full of mystery. What am I saying? I’m dead.
“Wait. We’re here.” I said, landing on the floor. “This school gives me the creeps.”
“Finally!” Gabe yelled as he dived to the floor. “I’m tired of all the flying.”
“Behave, Gabriel.” Michael landed properly and flapped his wings for the last time. “You’re acting like a child.”
“I know, right?” I remarked with a chuckle. I followed her back (with the white happy tree friends backpack), floated beside her to the third floor.
“She’s tired and she thinks she’s getting fat.” Michael once again appeared beside me. “She’s thinking of exercising every morning but she may forget it. So she thinks, ‘Never mind.’.”
I saw Mitch panting as she walked through the corridor. I laughed again. It was probably true. But what I found funnier was that Michael was dictating her every thought, just for me.
“Thanks, Mike.” I patted him on the shoulder.
