Too far gone

Success!

--- Ghost's POV ---

After a few minutes, the ghost cat showed up. I smiled and observed it as Katrina played with it. She didn't really seem to noticed that I could see the ghost, but the ghost definitely noticed. But besides the fact, it just ignored me. It seemed more interested in having its back petted then meeting a new friend.

"..... oh, hey! I never got your name..!"
"Hm? Oh, right. Sorry. I'm Katrina..." I stared at her and she gave me a confused look, "What?"
"......."
"Hellllooooo..?"
"You're Katrina??"
"Yeah...?"
"You used to be my friend!" I smiled at her and she tilted her head slightly.
"What? When?"
"When I still used to go to this school! We were best friends, remember? Well, sorta.. I'm pretty sure we were! You're the only person I remeber from this place, so you must be someone important to me!"
"..... and what's your name?"
"I told you, it's Johnny Ghost!"
"..... but... you can't be him. He's gone. They said he'd never come back..."
".... well, uh... I did..!" She stared at me a bit longer and gave me a skeptical look.
"Prove it."
"How?"
"Tell me something only Ghost would know, of course."
"...." I looked down at the ground again. How do I tell her that I don't remeber? I don't... "I can't..."
"Then you're not Johnny."
"But I am..! I just...! I.. I don't remeber anything from before this year! The people thought I'd be best if I forgot..."
"What people?"
"... the.. people at the..." I looked away more, "the mental... school... place..."
"Wait, really?"
"Uh-huh..."
"Do you remember if you had any siblings?"
"Uh... they told me not to talk about it, but... yeah... I had a brother... I don't remember if he was younger or older, but..."
"Well, how old are you?"
"12.. why..?"
"Then he was younger."
"Why would that matter on my age?"
"Because he-... huh... er, nevermind. Hey, wait. If you're Ghost, then you can see the cat, right??"
"Hm? Oh, yeah!! He's so cool!! Can I pet him??" I smiled and she nodded, holding the cat out to me. The cat purred as I pet it. It almost looked like it was smiling! Sadly, once the cat finally got comfortable with me, the bell rang and it was time to go back to school. I got up and started to walk back, but Katrina grabbed me and hugged me. She told me that she missed me alot while I was gone then ran inside. So, I guess she remembers me then. Cool! Does that mean I have a friend now? I hope so! 'Cause she's awesome! She is soooo going to be my best friend, I can see it now!

The rest of the day seemed to fly by. Katrina and I would stop and talk in between classes whenever was saw eachother, even if it was only for a few seconds. No one else talked to me, but I noticed some boys watching me throughout the day. Not sure what that was about... I just ignored them and went about my buisness.

At the end of the school day, Katrina and I met up at the front door. I was going to ask her if she wanted to come over to my grandparents' house sometime, but she quickly shut me down. She told me that if her mother knew I was here, she would freak. Apparently her mom doesn't like me. So, we had to keep our friendship a secret. That's fine, I guess. Not fun, but it's better than not having friends right?

She went to the other entrance of the school to wait for her parents and I stayed where I was. When my grandparents came and took me home. They asked me how school went and I told them everything. Though I talked about Katrina the most... They looked concerned at first, but relaxed after a while, remembering that I've changed. It's going to be hard to lose that reputation, I guess. But I can do it. It'll go away away after a few months. Right? Or maybe a few years? Oh well, it'll go away eventually. I'll just deny any relation to 'Jimmy Casket.' In fact, I'll even deny it to myself. Maybe I can brainwash myself. I'm sure that's possible. If I deny it enough, and act different enough, I won't even remember such a person existed!

The rest of the day was normal. We got home and ate dinner. I did my homework then watched some television. After that, I brushed my teeth and went to bed. The end. Of the day atleast.
