It's been a week since I met Stiles. He was a spirit, and a real one. I read a little about them after I met him and learned that sometimes the souls of the dead remain on earth because of unfinished business. Therefore, they can't go to the other side. Stiles insisted that there were no such cases. He asked me for help on what to do to get to the other side, but I didn't know it myself. I thought it might be his parents, maybe he wanted to say goodbye to them, talk to them, or something like that. However, he said that it was definitely not about them and didn't want to reveal details. We tried a lot of other things, but nothing helped. Something was holding Stiles here, and neither he nor I knew what it could be.

"Stiles! I know you can hear me, come here! "

After a while, I heard a familiar voice.

"And what? " Stiles said. "Did you find anything? "

"Well, maybe. " I said and looked at boy.

Stiles raised one eyebrow.

"You didn't find anything, did you? " He said and put his hands on his chest.

"No. " I confessed. "Nothing. I've no idea what's keeping you here. You're sure it's not about your... "

"No, it's certainly not about my parents. " He insisted.

It was obvious that he didn't want to talk about them, so I let it go.

"Okay, since you don't want to talk about them..." I sighed. "I promised Allison that I would help her with math. "

"Can I go with you? Maybe I could help too. " He asked and looked at me beggingly.

"Stiles, you know she doesn't know about you. It's hard to hide it from a friend and... "

"Maybe it's time for her to get to know me? " Stiles entered into my words. "Otherwise she'll still think that you're... "

"Crazy, I know. " I finished. "It's not that simple. But all in all, maybe she would've come up with something. "

Brunet looked at me.

"You know, maybe she would help us. " I added.

"Maybe... " Boy looked down. It was obvious that he was hiding something, but I didn't know what to do to find it out. I was pretty sure it had to do with his parents. I had to talk to someone about it, so I agreed to let Stiles go with me to Allison so she could meet him.

"Okay." I said. "Come on, you'll meet Allison. "

We left the house and headed to my car. We walked in silence, which I hated so much, so I started a conversation.

" Listen... " I started, stopping at the car. Man looked at me. "Allison is very... Okay, never mind, anyway, let me prepare her for meeting you first, okay? "

I looked into brunet's eyes. He looked at me with amusement, then said.

"Sure, it's not every day you get to know ghosts, do you? "

"Exactly." I smiled. "And you know what... "

"And I know what? " Someone replied, but not Stiles, and when I turned around I saw Matt behind me.

"Uh, hey Matt... " I started confused. Did he stand there for a long time? "N-nothing... "

"I thought you were talking on the phone, but I see that you probably are not. " He approached.

Stiles, who had just been standing next to me, was now standing next to Matt.

"Who the hell is that? " Brunet looked at me.
