M I A ' S P . O . V

The warmth of my blanket was seeping onto my bare legs,the cool breeze that abruptly came into my room had me burying my face deeper into my blanket.
     The blanket was suddenly lifted off of me and goosebumps soon appeared on my legs. My teeth soon started to clatter.With my eyes still closed I pat my bed in search of the missing blanket.


"Mia." A distance voice calls to me.

     "Mhh?" I mumble back,thinking that I shouldn't be awake yet.

    "Mia" the voice calls once again.

"Tía,no tengo classes hoy,dega me dormer" I mumble into my pillow.


"Okay, I have no idea what that meant but get your lazy ass up," Anna says while yanking my leg pulling me off my bed.

With a small thunk, I fall onto the cool wooden floor.

"OWW what the heck? Anna?" I look and see Anna with a smile spread across her face.
    "What are you doing here?

"You."is all she says

It suddenly hits me,after all I did tell her to come.

"Anna," I say softly while the wind blows the leafs."Fine, I did promise.So I won't go back on my word but I seriously just missed all my classes, so I must be on my way now."

   Just as I'm dusting myself off, Anna grabs my hand.I flinch away not wanting a repeat of what happened last time.

    "Wait how will I contact you if I need you?"

    I stare at her."You're a ghost, Anna."I simply state.

"I know that!"Her cheeks begin to puff up in anger or embarrassment I'm not sure.


  "Then you know you can travel in between entries right?"

     Now it was her turn to stare at me"What the heck does that even mean?"


Sighing I begin to explain"All humans, dead or alive emit a certain type of energy, like you, right now are emitting soft energy waves but since you are dead there are some ripples in your energy.Now our energy is just like a thumbprint, unique."Pausing to catch my breath I continue"Now look at me, Closely."

     Her brown eyes feel as if they are burning holes in my forehead.

   "What do you see?"I ask, curiosity getting the best of me.

  "Your energy is spiky, weird and looks like small waves crashing ashore."


"Ok, anyways just remember that pattern, and whenever you need me focus on my energy and you should travel to wherever I am curently located at, But just remember energy sometimes changes depending on the mood of the person providing said energy.SO be careful when reading their energy,cause you have to be 100% sure that you have the right person."


Right I gave her a direct way to bug me,great.

"Yeah,I remeber but what the hell are you doing here at,"I paused looking at my clock nearby my desk.

        "Crap its 8 ! Damn I'm going to be late!
Again.

Turing I see that Anna is still in the room.
     Waving to the door I give her a look.

   "What?"she says, slightly irritated.
"I need to change!"I yell.

In a blink of an eye she "glitches"and disappears.
Rushing I pull out a pair of blue jeans and leave my sleeping tank top on.

My Tia had gone out and washed my clothes the day before.
Running down the stairs with one sneaker in hand,I hear my Tia jingle her keys.
"Mia! Te doy uno raite?"
I jump the last two steps,"Yess!Por favor!"
My black hand bag is where it always is,the wooden rocking chair by the front door.
Yanking it I jog towards the car.
The passenger seat is always full of clothes and papers.
I grab a hand full of junk and throw it in the back seat.
"Hey!"
Snapping my head back,I now notice Anna in the back seat,picking out clothes and moving them around.
     "How are you doing that!?"I whisper.
    Just as Anna was about to reply,the car door shut.
"Alrighty,ready Mija?"

Yanking the seatbelt on. I turn looking up at my aunt.
     Her short red her was now in small curls,she had a coat of blue eye shadow on.
       Her thin face gave her cheek bones a very sharp look.

"Why all dressed up Tia?" I question.

       "Hay tengo un Nuevo trabajo  que ver hoy." She pulls the car out of the drive way,making her way to the Main Street.

          "Oh,what is it house or apartment?" I ask my Tia,while she pokes at the radio.

   "What is she saying?" I hear a whisper in the back.

       "Casa"she simply replies, "So I might not be home early."she winces,while giving me a small smile

     "That's alright."I say,my Tia doesn't like leaving me alone.She believes I have night terrors.

If only.

    "Hey Mia." Anna is now leaning towards the front.

     "Maybe you could give me some Spanish lessons." A bright smile etched on her face.

        The car comes to a slow stop.

   "Alright,have a good day Mija."she gives me a quick peck on the cheek before waving me out.

           Opening the car door I pull on my bag,while I get off I give my Tia a small wave as she drives off.

    "Damn I almost left with her."Anna suddenly says with a scared look.
     I couldn't help but crack up.

Students around me give me weird looks.Blushing I fiddle with the hem of my shirt.
      Hopping to ignore the obvious stares I'm getting I put my head down making my way towards the main building.
     
      Just a quick filler because well I need time to write more ;-; currently have 2 chapters in my drafts but they need to be re read and semi edited,so fillers are important Cx.
