Specters

Chapter Three

"So you mentioned before that there's someone you want to confess to?" I say as Seria and I walk into my room. I lay on my bed as Seria stands by the window but at the mention of her crush, she rushes over to me and our noses touch. 

"Yes!" She exclaims as she leans in even closer somehow. I try to push her away but my hands go through her. She gets the hint and backs up. 

"There's a girl in town who frequents the diner you work at. She has amazing light violet, curly hair. Her freckles are like stars upon her skin and, oh my, her eyes!" I decide to ignore how Seria knows I work at the diner and instead decide to ask about the girl and even tease Seria a bit.

"Oh sounds really pretty, but what about her personality - you know, what's important?" Seria pouts a bit before fixing me with a glare. "She's smart, graduated top of her class and is going to college now for Sociology and Human Rights studies! She's super compassionate too, absolutely perfect," Seria says in a rush and sighs at the end.

"She can't see me though, not like you can. However I'm fairly certain that she can feel my presence."

"Why do you say that?" I ask with a head tilt.

"I may have done something," she says without looking at me. 

"What did you do?"

"Well I've been following her around this past month," I knew it. What a stalker - we'll have to talk about that later, "and a couple of times she would stop what she was doing and look around and stop and stare where I would be but then sigh and continue doing what she was before." I nod as I think, it sounds like this girl can feel Seria's presence but can't seem to see her. 

"Well let's try and find her and I can talk for you, I suppose. We also need to find out more on you and your family and where all your of body may be buried. Also need to talk about how we're going to approach this girl without freaking her the fuck out. I also need to talk to you about stalking," I start to mumble as the words fall from my mouth.

"I wasn't stalking Luna!" At this I raise an eyebrow. "I wasn't - we just happened to cross paths a lot when I was following you - "

"You followed me!"

"Not the point; I get lonely. I happened to see her at the diner when you would be working and one day I sat in the same booth as her and then it became habit. I found out more on her when she would talk with her friends and family. I never stalked anyone - except for maybe you. However, does it really count if we live in the same house?"

"It counts! Don't do it again, it's creepy!" Seria nods and pouts then looks around then motions to the door. I nod and get my stuff, time to find Luna.

As I'm walking through the town I take my time to look at it. It's a nice, quant town. Not really small but not a big city at the same time. It's nice. We've been walking for about an hour when I see a flash of light violet hair. I turn towards it and see the most beautiful girl. Not the one with violet hair, no the girl she was talking to. 

I unconsciously hold my breathe as I take her in. Long, black locs are up in a messy bun with a few locs loose to frame her face. Her strong cheekbones have slight blush covering them. Her dark black skin glistens in the summer sun - not from sweat - no it just seems to be the way her skin reflects the sun. Her dark brown eyes fall on me and my knees almost buckle. Godess,  help me; she is so beatiful.

I'm cut from my thoughts as I hear shouting right into my ear. "Goodness, Seria! What?" I hiss under my breathe. I don't want to look insane in front of her. 

"That girl, right there is Luna. Isn't she absolutely perfect?" Seria says as she points the one with violet hair but all of my attention has been stolen by the eyes of the black godess before me. I nod slightly as I make my way over to them.

"Hi, I'm Colton. It's nice to meet both of you," I say as I stare at her. 

"Hi, I'm Remi, and this is Luna," she speaks and I could die happy from the sound alone. I feel a whoosh of wind as Seria tries to hit me to get my attention. "You need to tell Luna that I like  her!" Seria says.

Right. I shake my head to clear my thoughts and look at Luna, "So my friend, Seria, who happens to be a ghost likes you. A lot." I say in a rush and wince at how stupid I sound. Who would ever believe me?

"Seria? is that the presence I've been feeling?" Luna says with wide eyes, tearing up. I nod my head and Luna starts to smile and laugh. 

"Oh thank goodness; I thought I was losing it!"
