Too far gone

Glad to Meet ya, I Think

--- Ghost's POV ---

It seemed I hadn't been asleep for more than five minutes before my grandmother came in to wake me. Eager for my next day of school, I basically inhaled my breakfast and ran off to get ready. I grabbed all of my school books and pencils, shoving them in my backpack. Once I finally finished and sat down, those supposed five minutes hit me. I slouched abit on the couch and yawned, ready to fall asleep.

The ride to school was a blur, and quite possibly a perfect time for a nap. I'm not sure whether or not I fell asleep, but I'm at school now, so that's all that matters. My first goal was to find Katrina and make sure that she was okay. I know, it was just a dream, but it was still terrifying!

As I ran through the halls, I picked up bits and pieces of the other kids' conversations. They were all talking about me, or some other boy name Johnny at least. Some were happy about it, mostly the girls, while others were annoyed, maybe even ticked off about it. I'm seriously hoping it's another Johnny and not me, 'cause all of the guys and bullies were all angry about it.

"Katrina!!" I yelled to her, trying to her her attention as I ran up to her. She turned and looked at me, jumping out of the way before I ran into her, as I was unable to stop. "Hey, Johnny! What's u--?!" I hugged her tightly, relieved to see her alive and okay. "Johnny?" "Yeah, sorry," I said, sighing and letting go, "Just happy to see you, that's all." She chuckled and nodded, "Its okay."

By the time all of the morning classes were over and it was time for lunch, I had heard nothing else but things about this Johnny kid. Apparently he's some kid that used to go here. A foreign student or something. He's supposedly coming to school later today for some kind of event. The girls were freaking out and obsessing over how cute he was while the guys were complaining about how annoying he was. I can't wait to see this guy. I wonder if he is as annoying as they say. Or 'cute.' I hope he isn't one of those cases where 'he has an accent, so he's automatically hot' kinda things. Though that would help me understand why the guys hate him so much.

At recess, Katrina and I played with the cat again. The guy loved having his belly rubbed. Its weird though, I thought that was a dog thing. Oh well, as long as he likes it! Then, about halfway through recess, or maybe three-fourths through, the speakers came on and asked for Katrina to come to the main office. She got up and I asked if I could follow. She said I could, so I did. When we got to the office, I saw an oddly familiar boy there. I swear, I'd seen him before. However, I was unable to remember him, so I shrugged it off.

"Oh, hey, Johnny!" Katrina said, causing me to look at her, expecting her to be looking back. She wasn't though. She was looking at the boy. 'Johnny?... I guess this is the boy everyone was talking about then..' He turned around and looked at Katrina, smiling. "Hello! How are you?" "I'm good, thanks." The boy nodded and looked at me, "Hello, sir! Who are you?" "Johnny," was all I said in reply. He looked confused at first but then smiled and shook my hand. "That's my name too! Cool! Anyway, Katrina! I asked the principal to call you in here, I hope you don't mind." She shook her head and smiled. "Its fine." "Alright. I was hoping I could discuss something with you? But in private... no offense, Johnny." I shrugged and sat down as they walked off to another room.
