A Ghost Love Story

Chapter 1: A Ghost Story

It all started on a rainy day..........

Drip drip drop. . .

The rain kept on pouring heavily. I can clearly hear the sound of each drop falling. But I plugged in my earphones & listened to my favorite kinds of music on my phone. It always helps me work better, especially when I'm all alone at times like this.

*sigh*

"There's so much work to do.......so many books to organize. Does any student in this school know how to return their books to the library in a proper way? All of these books are rearranged & some aren't even alphabetically arranged." – I murmured to myself. I usually do that, and I don't know why.

"Gracie?" – Prof. Lymrith called. She's a professor in the subjects of arts & music in this school. She is also my older sister, and we are very close. She has been taking care of me ever since mom & dad died from a car accident decades ago and until now that I'm in middle school. She's been more like a mother to me. But when I came to this school where she teaches, we tried to keep our relationship a bit more professional. I don't wanna be called a "special student" just because my sister was our professor. Like who would want that?

"You're still working in the library?" – Lymrith asked.

"Yeah...there's too much work here" – I replied to her with a smile.

"Ok, but come home immediately as soon as you finish." – She says in a very caring tone.

"Yes Madam" – I smiled sheepishly. She laughed for a bit, then stopped as she immediately remembered something.

"Grace, I saw your friends Chelsea and Kayla in the corridor a while ago. They were looking for you so I told them that you might still be, at the library working. I was also curious, so I checked where you were and I was right. You were here all along."

"Oh, well, there's nowhere else in this gigantic school I'll be interested in staying in from the rain but in the library." – I said to her. "And plus I do work here too, so, this is really like my official room here in the school."

"Well, I should be going now. I've got tons of paperwork to do, and their deadlines are very near. I'll have to wait for you in the house, young lady, but don't you worry, I'll cook dinner so once you've arrived we can eat." – She said, smiling as she walked towards me and kissed my forehead.

"Thanks, sis" – I smiled in reply. Suddenly, we heard giggles and chattering, so we looked at the door to see that it was my friends.

"Hey there, we've been looking for you for like forever" – Chelsea said as she ran towards us.

They both greeted my sister, or should I say "Professor Lymrith Jane Synders" and said Hi to me. "Well then, I best be going girls" – my sister said as she waved her hand goodbye to us.

"Goodbye Professor Synders" – Chelsea & Kayla said while also waving.

There were a few minutes of silence before Chelsea managed to giggle. Kayla followed her as well.

"What is it you two?" – I asked as I rolled my eyes out at the cheeky girls in front of me. Chelsea leaned closer to me and whispered something in my ear.

"Hey, have you heard?"

"Heard about what?" – I asked in a very uninterested manner.

"About a ghost wandering around the school halls" - Chelsea continued to whisper.

"A ghost?!? You've got to be joking." – I said annoyedly. Like seriously, how on earth would a ghost be wandering this school?

"It's true Gracie" – Kayla said while nodding her head.
