I trudge slowly out of the bus, and as usual get splashed in the face with water that slowly trickles down my usually routinely dark outfit. Broken black converse, ripped blue jeans, and a grey faded hoodie with a maroon tank top underneath. I get those grimaces and glares from people, and make my way to class to have my usual boring day. When I walked into my house at precisely 4:37, i plopped onto my bed and immediately started reading my book called "The Enchantment" its about how people like me are 'enchanted' and can supposedly get rid of our gift of seeing the trapped souls humans call 'ghosts'. To me they are something more, but one thing that could make me be a little closer to normal, would be loosing this gift. This is what I'm finally trying to figure out how to do. "Carri!!!", called Tari from downstairs. I heard her quickly stomping up to my dull room.
" Guess what i heard today at school?!"
" i wouldn't know.." I replied
" Well.. we have a new boy moving to town on monday!"
"Oh. Great. Another boy who can laugh at me. Yay" i spoke in a highly sarcastic voice
"Listen, Carrinina, maybe he will be your type!"
"listen.. i don't have 'a type' so please just drop it. He will probably be one of those guys that you always end up wondering the park in the sunset with."
" Could it kill ya to be optimistic for once? Gawd" her voice dimmed out as she went to get the door for her church and school friends.
as always, i continued to sit there reading my book, trying to become normal. But there is honestly no doubt in my mind that I will never be. And because I will never be normal, some just as unusually abnormal as me, will one day have to miraculously find me.
