Katelyn's First Haunting

Katelyn tried to get the mans attention, but he had earbuds in. He was listening to music on an old Discman. The bus would arrive in 5 minutes according to the schedule plastered on the side of the glass window.

When the bus arrived, the man got on. He sat down in the only seat that was fully open. Katelyn soon followed then man, and sat next to him. He turned to look out the window, as if he were trying not to notice her.

The bus pulled up to a school. Katelyn read off the sign, and it said 'Lincoln Park High School'. She had never heard of this school, so she wasn't in the town she used to be in.

The bus opened it's door and the man turned around to see Katelyn. He waited for her to get up and walk off so that he could. She looked strange to him.

To him she looked pale, and lifeless, but also smaller than everyone around her. Katelyn started following him to his classes. From his first period class to his last.

In all of his classes he normally sat in the back alone, except for P.E. of course. She sat right next to him in all of them. As well, in P.E. she she followed him everywhere, except the locker room.

In his P.E. they were doing a basketball unit. He was good at basketball compared to the rest of the schools players, but never joined the team. When they were playing he tried passing it to her, and she dodged, making the ball go to the other team.

He was sick of Katelyn following him so he decided to fake being sick, by making himself throw up. He was sent home and caught the afternoon bus to uptown, near the stop he took in the morning. However he wasn't rid of Katelyn yet.

Katelyn had followed him onto the bus, and off of it. When his house was just around the corner, he turned to face Katelyn, who wasn't aware of his stop. She walked right through him, and he now knew what she was.

Katelyn looked up and started looking around, believing that she had lost him. Then, from behind her, she heard "just who are you, and why are you doing this?" She turned around to face him, and said nothing in response to his question.

Another question came out of the man's mouth "your a ghost aren't you, that or are you just in my imagination?" This time however Katelyn finally had an answer, it was "That's up to you, but just know that you are the only one that can see me, and I am here for you." The man looked at her directly in her face and said "if your here to kill me, make it quick."

She looked back at him and said "I can't kill you, I need to get you to do it yourself. I am a ghost not a demon, well not yet at least." "Good then I just won't kill myself then" was his response.

Katelyn snapped back with "but that will get me out of my job, and I for one don't want to be tortured and bored for all eternity." The man started walking towards his house again not stopping to talk. He slammed the door to his house, but Katelyn just fazed through.
