Spectra's POV :

I sat on the steps of Monster High, tapping my foot impatiently on the ground.

I see Sirena, Clawdeen, Twyla, and Rochelle making their way towards me.

"Why so jumpy? You look like you're gonna burst any minute." Clawdeen asked, putting a hand on her hip. Her wolf like features slowly came into view as she walked closer towards me.

I stopped tapping my foot and shrugged. "Jumpy? I-uh I'm not jumpy...I'm fine." I say quickly, standing up.

"Uh-huh?" Sirena said, putting a hand under her chin while her eyes narrowed down on me, as if she was trying to solve a puzzle piece. 

"Yep totally fine not jumpy not at all." I replied in one breath.

"You're a horrible liar." Twyla stated. 

"You need to work on your lying skills." Rochelle said, shaking her head.

Yeah she's right....

I was so relived when Draculaura came running up to us, breaking the tension.

"OMG guess what!" Draculaura squealed once she reached us. She gave me a wide smile, showing off her fangs.

"What?" Everyone asked in unison.

"Everyone is talking about Spectra's latest gossip update about that whole crazy adventure we had at Haunted high. It's like all they talk about! As well as that inspirational thing you said about the bad rumors. You're like so popular now! Your fans are super happy about that update of you published." Draculaura finished.

"That's amazing! I'm so glad they liked it." I said happily.

"Definitely! I am so proud of you Spectra." Clawdeen said, pulling me into a hug.

"We're all proud of you." Twyla corrected, and everyone nodded, giving me a group hug.

Once we pulled away, they saw the tinge of sadness settling in my eyes.

"Okay. Now you have to tell us what's going on. Ever since Porter left, you've been so gloomy lately and-" Clawdeen was cut off by Draculaura's ear piercing squeal. 

We all put a hand to our ears. 

"OMG, OMG, OMG!! Isn't it obvious?! Spectra misses Porter!" Draculaura said, jumping up and down.

Everyone turned to face me and let out a unison "awww," while giggling right after. 

"Well that explains a lot!" Sirena said, and everyone nodded.

"No wonder you're so gloomy all the time." Rochelle replied.

"Why don't you go visit him?" Twyla asked.

It's true, I did miss Porter...a lot. It's been a whole three weeks.

"It's only been three weeks, what if I bug him? He does have school and work, and who knows maybe he'll come visit me and-" 

Clawdeen interrupted me. "Are you talking about the bad boy paintergeist, Porter? Or some school nerd? If you don't go visit him now, I don't think we can handle much of your moping. Now get your butt over there! We'll handle the teachers here." 

I smiled. "You guys are the best ghoul friends a ghoul can have!" I said before flying off.

I suddenly felt extremely happy and excited to see Porter.

I spot River as soon as I enter the boat that takes me to Haunted High.

"Heyyy Spectra! What brings you here on my party boat?" River asked, flying up to me and giving me a hug.

"Well I thought I'd visit Haunted High. I really miss all of you." I said after she pulled away from our hug.

"Well I missed you too!" River replied.

Another huge boat came into view and I quickly recognized it.

Vandala came jumping out of the large boat, landing perfectly in front of me.

"Argh me matey!" Vandala said, swinging her arms before pausing. "How was that?" Vandala asked, dropping her pirate act. 

"That was great!" River exclaimed, bobbing her head up and down.

Vandala noticed me and a huge smile spread across her face. "Spectra!" She gave me a big hug.

We pulled away and I smiled. "Hey Vandala! I missed you so much." 

"Me too! Visiting Haunted High?" She asked.

"Yep." I replied, hiding the fact about how much I wanted to see Porter. 

To be honest, I missed them all so much. Especially the friends I made at Haunted High. I just can't wait to finally go back.

~.~

After the boat ride, I waved a goodbye to River and Vandala before flying through the doors of Haunted High.

It looked so much better than the last time I came here, where there were those awful chains sprawled everywhere.

I spotted Kiyomi just as she spotted me.

"Spectra!!" Kiyomi came flying up to me and gave me a big hug.

"I'm so glad you're here! I missed you!" She said once we pulled away.

"I couldn't stand being away from here for so long, I missed you too." I replied.

"How are you?" She asked, her smile still plastered on her face.

"I'm great! How about you? Still as popular and pretty as ever?" I asked, just as a few ghosts passed by us to said 'hi' to Kiyomi and compliment her outfit.

"I guess that answered my question." I giggled along with Kiyomi.

"Have you seen Porter anywhere?" I asked.

Kiyomi's grin only grew wider. "Yeah, he's been around the halls, spray painting them as usual. He hasn't changed." She replied while shaking her head.

I laughed. "Figured. Well, I'll catch up with you later. It was real nice seeing you again."

"You too." Kiyomi said, and with that I flew off.

Now, time to find Porter.
