So, knowing what had happened to me the previous day you would think that the following day at school would be bad, right? Right? Wrong! It was much much worse.

Everywhere I went people talked behind my back and laughed or pointed at me. I had the sudden urge to just stop in the middle of the hallway with two explicit middle fingers in the air and shout, "I love dicks! Screw you all!" but then that would make things even worse because I'd be implying that I was getting my fair share of dicks which would mean I was a whore which I was not! You know, being a virgin and all.

As I was at my locker putting my books away for the day, getting ready for two hours of boring detention I saw him. Dammit! He just appeared out of nowhere.

"What the fu...!" I lowered my voice remembering that I was the only one who could see him so I bet I'd be looking stupid talking to myself.

"Desiree, that is your name right? I read it on one of your books, Desiree Karsh, catchy. Anyways, what was that thing you did yesterday to shut me out?" he said but after seeing that I was ignoring him and getting on with my business, he went on. "Listen, I know I might be asking for too much..."

"Yer think?!" I said under my breath guessing that he could hear me.

"I just need you to hear me out, please. This is my life....it's really important to me. Please..."

"Look kid, in case you haven't noticed right now my own life is pretty shitty too so why don't you go look for a priest or the Winchesters or something?" Saying that as I locked my locker I noticed that some girl on a locker next to mine was eying me strangely. She might have heard me speaking to myself since she could not see ghost-boy.

Great!

I sighed and said as I walked passed ghost-boy and the gawking girl. "Just leave me alone."

It seemed that ghost-boy did not get my message because he kept following me around everywhere. He even sat next to me in detention and kept talking to me. Do you know how hard it is to keep your cool when somebody who nobody else could see was yapping about souls, death and reapers away in your ear in the library? It is very hard! So hard that it made me yell,

"Would shut the fuck up!"

The whole library stared at me like I had gone crazy, I wanted to shrink away. Our detention teacher was not very pleased, she made me got to the principal's office.

'Thanks ghost-boy.'

Back at home ghost-boy kept talking to me. I think there was a time when he apologized for getting me into trouble but I ignored him and pretended to talk to my family throughout the evening.

They actually seemed like good people.

I watched a wrestling match with my dad, I even helped my mom do the dishes and helped my little brother with his homework just so ghost-boy would leave me alone. My mom was worried I was acting 'normal'. She even asked if I was on drugs, this made ghost-boy laugh so hard.

When I went back to my room, ghost-boy was there waiting for me. Seriously, he was more annoying than my little brother.

"Would you please at least hear me out? I know you are doing all this to avoid me." He said. "Desiree I'm not going to leave you alone until you talk to me."

I took off my sweater and sat by my dresser to brush my hair. I was developing quite a talent for ignoring his yapping. I sang one of my nursery rhymes in my head, thought what it would be like to be a warrior in Asgard or be Thor's wife.... Yeah, that was something.

As I finished taking off my necklace and bracelets, I realized that ghost-boy had stopped talking. He had disappeared. Finally I was alone! I climbed to bed with a big smile on my face.
