Ghost

Detention

"Okay, so take a look at your tests everyone! How did you do? Keep your score to yourselves please! Amy, Payton, Arielle, I'm talking to you three." Mrs. H said.

"Hey! You got an A+ on your test! Good job!" Esmeralda said in my ear.
You did most of the work, Es! I scrawl on a piece of paper, looking like I was taking notes.
"I know! But still!" She said.
K, can't talk now, after school alright? I write.
"Okay!" She said.

"Hey! I bet Lacey got an F!" Amy announced.
"Yeah! Like, she's so stupid." Arielle agreed.
"Yeah! She is like, so weird! I mean she can see ghosts!" Payton added.
"Frigg off." I say. "I got an A+. And what did you girls get?" I stood up and grabbed their papers. "Amy, an F, ouch! Payton, a C? Wow. And Arielle, an D-! Sucks to know your groupies are smarter than you, huh Amy?"
"What?" She stands.
"Settle down! Now, I know this was hilarious," Mrs. H said, as the students were giggling at Amy. "But! We must remain calm! And Lacey!" She says, pointing a crooked finger at me. "You get an after school detention!"
"Cool." I say calmly. The rest of the class just looks at me.
"Nice going! Now we get another detention!" Esmeralda said.
I sit down. All eyes are on me.
"So! Back on track!" Mrs. H said. "Blah blah blah!" Is all I heard, because I was lost in the fact that I started to take down Amy Northwest. I couldn't wait to tell Brandon, my only friend in the flesh, about this awesome victory.

"So then she literally turned red! Like tomato red. It was to die for!" I told Brandon.
"Sounds like I missed a lot!" He smiles.
"Yeah, you did. But I got a detention out of it."
"No way! So did I! After school?"
"Yeah, what did you do?"
"I may have glued all of Mr. Thomas' stuff to his desk..."
"No way! Awesome!" I looked into his grass green eyes. His hair the colour of chocolate.
"Well, we can all hang out at detention!" He said. Oh! Did I mention that he can see ghosts too? No? Sorry. Well, Brandon and I can see ghosts. He also has some ghosts that follow him around.

                             ~~~

Brandon was waiting for me in detention. I waved at him, he smiled.
"So, we ready to chill?" I say.
"Yeah! Hey, Esmeralda!" He smiles.
"Hello! Oh! Hi Kyle..." She said nervously. We all knew that Es, had a giant crush on Kyle. It was cute how she stuttered and blushed around him. Kinda like me with Brandon. But I hold myself together.

We talked and talked, till finally, we were free.
"Yo, Lacey, wanna catch a movie sometime this weekend?" He smiles weakly.
"Yeah! Does Friday evening work?" I say.
"Sure! See ya!" He says. He even did a little air-punch! Cute!
"Bye Esmeralda! See you at the movies!" Kyle winks.
"See you!" She turned to face me. She was blushing like crazy!
"You okay?" I ask.
"Yeah!" She squeals, an octave higher than usual, man she really likes Kyle.

       
                               ~~~

As soon as we got home, I kicked off my shoes and landed on the couch, my heart doing somersaults in my chest.
"Esmeralda, I feel funny. Like in my stomach. I don't know if it's because of Brandon, or the crappy cafeteria food." I complain.
"Let's hope its Brandon, and not mystery meat coming back up to say hello." She says.
I gag, "Definitely mystery meat." I manage to get out. I hold my hand over my mouth and run for the bathroom.

I vomited. Esmeralda held my hair, and got me a wet cloth. I leaned back against the bathtub.
"Thanks." I gasp. Yeah, I'm not going to school tomorrow.

A/N
