A Ghost Love Story

Chapter 4: An Entirely New Day

"Here you go Mr. Scruffy" – I say as I put Mr. Scruffy back in his place in my room.

"So how do I wash my clothes?"

I just let out a huge sigh as obviously, there is no one in this room who can answer my question. I looked at the clock & saw that it was still early.

"I better surf the internet while there's still nobody in the computer room" – I murmured to myself.

I got up & walked out of my room. I really like the computer room. The air conditioning there is fine, plus it's a very big room. And it's filled with booming futuristic technologies that weren't present in my time. At first I just observed on how students use them. I even attended the subject "Computer Technology I", and I had a perfectly perfect attendance there. I love to surf the net bout random stuffs. There's a lot you can learn there plus there are tons of amazing things. I usually search on funny things to read and some funny videos in YouTube. Being a ghost is completely boring so I try to keep my mood up by searching and doin some fun stuffs. xD

"Okay, I am here!" – I say in authority. But of course no one can ever hear the amazing and handsome me.

I opened the door slightly and examined the room. The room is empty thank god. I then quickly opened one of the computers then opened my favorite search engine and started typing

"How to wash clothes"

Then I clicked search and then presto! To my luck I found a 3 minute video that clearly explained every step on how to wash your clothes properly by hand. And it was surprisingly easy. And I'm pretty sure I got all the tools that I need at the school bathroom. So I stormed out of the chair excitedly. Excited to do another new stuff today. I skipped happily out of the room but when I got just a few meters away from the computer room I heard another loud scream.

I turned around to where I heard the scream and saw again the school janitor running hurriedly away from the computer room. I stood there for about a minute as I was thinking bout several reasons why the janitor would scream. And after 2 minutes I finally thought why.

"Shit I'm so stupid"

I face palmed at my total stupidity. I completely left the computer and the door open. I didn't even close the window and left YouTube wide open there.

I let out a heavy sigh as I closed the computer. Then I went out of the room and went to the biggest bathroom here in the school. I then quickly washed my clothes in a large basin that I found lying around in a corner. I think I used to much soap though. And jeez I can't believe my uniform was so dirty. It took me several washes to get them clean.

*after about 25 minutes*

"Yehey! They're clean!"

I then grabbed the blow-dryer that I found a week ago lying on the floor of my room and started drying my uniform. And yes I searched the YouTube on how to use a blow-dryer.

It took quite a while for my uniform to dry but eventually, it did. And when I went out, I saw that some students were starting to come in every classroom. I hurriedly went back to my room and tidied myself up.

I took a deep breath and took one last look at the mirror. Then I went out on my way to the school's busy halls. But something felt odd about today. It's as if today is a whole new day for me. I wonder why?

"Well whatever"

I just shrugged and continued to walk my way down the school halls.

------------------------------------*

"Sweetie are you done yet? – I hear my sister's loud voice over the door

"C'mon you don't wanna be late for school today don't you"

"I'm almost done sis" – I shouted back.

Something feels different about today. Usually I prepare very quickly but today, I was surprised when my sister finished preparing to school before me. It's usually her that takes a lot of time in her various steps of preparation. It's as if my mind is filled with things that I can't seem to concentrate in every single task I do. Even brushing my teeth took me about 5 minutes. Maybe it's because of what happened yesterday. About the ghost...

I shook my head and pat my head slowly.

"Get a hold of yourself Grace Amber Synders"

I said to myself as I look at my reflection in the mirror. But I can't help but be bothered about what happened yesterday. The feeling was somewhat . . . . Different. There was something about that ghost we encountered yesterday, it didn't give off that usual scary ghostly vibe. It was as if I even felt at ease.

"Gracie, what's taking you so long? This doesn't usually happen. Are you okay sweetheart?"

My daydreaming eventually came to a halt.

"No sis, I'm okay."

"I'm actually coming out now"

I grabbed my bag and went to open the door. I saw my sister with a worried expression.

"You sure?" – She asked me.

"Yup!" – I smiled at her and saw her worried expression go away.

"Alrighty then let's go."

I went with her as we went out of our house and into her car. I then let out a huge sigh as if I was holding it in for years. I have got to ask Chelsea and Kayla about that ghost story. Also, I felt the urge to get to know that ghost, personally. My mind continued to drift as I stare out the car window.
