Jackie hastily woke up to the touch of a drenched towel over her head. Her mother had placed a hot soaked towel on her forehead. She sat up straight and asked her mother what happened.

"Lay back down sweetie. You just fainted. That's all."

Jackie laid back down and thought about what happened. She remembered seeing the 3 ghosts hanging over her bed, the one she was currently lying in. She jumped off her bed and ran to the door. Her mother looked worried.

"Sweetheart are you okay?"

"Mom, may I please be left alone?"

"Sure sweetheart." Her mother said with concern lacing in her voice.

Her mother left and Jackie closed the door.

"Come out you son of a b****.  I know you are floating around here somewhere."

All of a sudden a young ghost popped out from under Jackie's bed but then went back under. Jackie jumped with her heart pounding.

"I'm not scared of you." Jackie said while her voice was shaking.

"I didn't want to scare you. My parents made me."

"Reveal yourself to me."

"Fine."

The young boy came out and floated in front of her. He was 17 years old, just like Jackie.

Jackie's jaw dropped open at the sight of this ghost.

"You are so cute." Jackie said not realizing she had said that out loud.

"Thank you." The ghost smirked.

"Oh...Umm...I'm embarrassed now."

Jackie pushed her hair behind one ear.

"My name's Jackie. What's yours?"

"That's a beautiful name. My name is Skylar."

"Cool

"Cool."

"Sweetheart who are you talking to in there?" Maria asked.

Skylar disappeared and Maria walked in the door.

"MOM!!!"

"Sorry I just thought you were going crazy in here."

"I'm fine."

With that Maria left and Jackie called for Skylar again. He didn't come out. Jackie was disappointed. OMG! I have a crush on a ghost!! She thought to herself.

"I can't believe I moved out here with my mom." She said out loud. She took out her diary and then began writing about her crazy day.
