Chapter 2: New Year
It's the start of a new year and I hope that everything will be better. When the ball dropped in Time Square on New Years Justin, Tyler, and I all made a wish. I'm not telling you my wish because that's just unlucky to do because then it might not come true. But I hope that this year will be an amazing year.

I was sitting on the couch in the living room when someone walked up behind me. "Hey Kendall, what up?" Justin said. "You scared the living day lights out of me you know that right" "Sorry Ken, I didn't mean to it's just that you're so easy to scare." "Excuse me I see and talk the the dead, how in the living hell am I easy to scare?" "You tell me, all I did was walk in the room and you jumped." He's always got to be right. "Smart ass." When I said that a grin came across Justin's face. Right when that happened my cousin, Mackenzie walked through the door with Tyler. Tyler sat right beside me (as usual), Mackenzie sat on the other side between me and Justin. What Justin doesn't know is that Mackenzie as a little crush on him. Mackenzie is really, really good on hidng her feeling so nobody knows. I only know because I'm her family and I know her. We were watching T.V. when I saw something. I jumped up and went to the kitchen and like always Justin followed me. When we got to the kitchen I saw my dad sitting at the dining room table. SO, I sat next to him and said "Dady what's wrong?" You see my dad always told other ghost about my gift and sometimes it would lead to trouble. "Baby girl I think I might have led you into trouble agian." He said. Justin just had to blurt out "Her?! I help so doesn't that that mean you led me into trouble as well?" "Justin calm down. You know that you didn't have to start helping me when you got this gift you chose to. I really didn't need the help I had it all under controll. But you insisted onhelping me. I could have said no." "I know this but I don't like it when you help the dead by yourself." Ok that got me to thinking. "Why I do it all the time? It's nothing new to me." Then all of a sudden my dad said "You guys just stop! You 2 are an amazing team and I never mean to get you guys into trouble with my kind and you know this." I looked at Justin and said "Yes we do. Don't we Justin?" Justin gave me a weird look and then said "I guess so." Justin walked back into the living room and sat right back down next to Mackenzie. Dad told me everything about this ghost. "Do you know the name cause I can't do anything without a name." He hessitated before finally giving me the name. "Michael Turner" he said. Now I know why he was hesiatating. I knew Michael since i was in the 1st grade but he died last summer. Everyone was devistated when he died, expecally Mackenzie. She was Michael's girlfriend. I remember Mackenzie cried day and night for 3 weeks. "How did you lead me into trouble with Michael, Daddy?" Then, after I asked that question I remembered that the dead turn when they die, the mean because nice and the nice became mean. I mean not all ghost do, maybe 40% of the time. Miuchael had to be one of those people in 40% range. " He's not the same is he?" Dad looked down as he said no. Now it's my job to help him. "I can't tell Mackenzie about this, can I?" He looked at me "It's for her own good. At least not till he has changed back to his normal self." My dad was right. What a start to my new year.
