My alarm went off at seven thirty Monday morning, I got up and did my daily routine after waking Skylar up we went down together for breakfast, Shreya was still in bed so we decided to conjure up scrambled eggs on toast.

After breakfast I checked up on Shreya to see if she was ok, she seemed fine though she was still sleeping so we left for school, laughing and joking all the way.

When we got there we spotted Annie and Andrew talking to Jen

"Hi guys" both Skylar and I greeted in unison

"Hey" Annie greeted

"Wassup" Andrew greeted

"How you doing" Jen greeted Skylar and I started walking to home room

"Hey Skylar, wait I wanna talk to you" Annie said running towards us, both of us stopped

"You go ahead, I'll catch up" Skylar assured so I walked away to home room.

I was sat in home room five minutes later

I heard it before I saw it

"Wait Annie let me explain" I heard Skylar shouting, I looked up from my book 'xerus' and saw Annie stomping angrily towards me

"Are you ok?" I asked her I looked behind her to see Skylar looking sorry. She came and stood next to me

"I'm sorry Ray I tried to explain but she......"

"SHUT UP" Annie told her, making both of me and Skylar jump she turned to me "and you, how dare you"

"Umm, what have I done,?" I asked brushing a piece of hair behind my ear

"Don't play dumb with me, you had a sleepover with your new best friend and forgot your old ones?"

"What are you talking about?" I asked looking at Skylar, Skylar opened her mouth to talk but Annie beat her to it

"Skylar spent the weekend at yours, probably having a great time, and neither Jen nor I were invited, what kind of friend does that?" She shrieked

"Ok first, best friends ask nicely, second it wasn't a slumber party" I told her she opened her mouth to talk but I stopped her "shh, I'll talk, you'll listen" she closed her mouth, "it's true Skylar spent the weekend" Annie scoffed folding her arms across her chest she shook her head I carried on "but it wasn't a party, Skylars dad went out of town on business, he didn't want to leave Skylar home alone and she didn't want to go with him, so knowing Skylar and I are friends he asked Shreya if she could spend the weekend, Shreya said it would be fine, there was no party, Annie" I told her, the room started to fill with students but they were whispering amongst themselves. "So put that in your pipe and smoke it" I finished

"Ok first smoking is so bad for your health" Annie started I just rolled my eyes "and second I didn't know it wasn't a party, Ray I'm sorry" she said "you too Skylar, I'm sorry" but before Skylar could say anything I spoke

"No Annie, that was the last straw, this friendship has sailed, we're finished" there were gasps around the room, although it felt like de ja vu I knew it was over this time

"But but.. You can't" Annie told

"Well I just did" I told her. I put my head down and started to read my book again

"Ok people please take your seats" Mrs Chadwick ordered as she walked into the room Annie reluctantly went to the front and sat down

"Are you okay?" Skylar whispered I just nodded "Zanda says he's glad you got rid of her next it should be the boy" there was a small pause whilst I smiled dad never said Andrews name he always said boy, I think it was his way of telling me that Andrew was a boy and I wasn't "he says after him you should get rid of the one who speaks to ghosts" I looked at her questioningly "wait a minute, that's me "she looked at a spot above my right shoulder, I assumed my dad was standing there I smiled Skylar looked at me again "you shouldn't break up with the one who speaks to ghosts, she's a keeper" I smiled wider and assured her I wouldn't.
