The Ghost Inside

Surprise Ghosts + A Gingery Fox = ???

Freyas POV

"Frey, hun its time to get up!" I heard my mom call.

I groaned, graduation is today.

I really really didn't want to be up right now its too damn early.

"Frey, you're going to be late!" I heard her call again.

"I know, I know Im up!" I called back with a little bit of annoyance in my voice.

It was a bit weird for me to have a real graduation since I took online classes and never really got to know any of the other students that well.

I didn't think we'd even get a proper graduation but apparently we all have to meet up on another school campus to have one.

I went into my bathroom and took a quick shower before brushing my teeth and curling my hair.

Then I rummaged around my closet for a wrinkle free dress.

After a while I finally found one. It was a white strapless dress with floral patterns.

After putting it on I brushed my teeth again just to be sure before doing my makeup.

I took the curlers out of my hair and combed them out so they would be a bit looser.

Finally I pulled out a pair of black heels and ran down the stairs before putting them on. "Did you get the address?" I asked my mom.

"Yes, Ive got it. Now hurry into the car before were late!" She said pushing me out the door.

"Ok! ok! Im going." I said rushing myself.

My mom typed in the address on the GPS and it took us about an hour and a half to get there, and we had a good 30 minutes left for me to get my gown and hat on plus get to know some people.

Once we got there I rushed over to the school doors and followed another student to where the gowns and caps were.

I looked around the 'small' rack for the gown with my name on the plastic wrap.

I went through the same rack about 5 times before finally finding it.

I slipped it on and picked out a hat that fit my head alright before sitting down next to a girl who looked pretty nice.

"Hey." I greeted with a smile.

"Oh? Hi." She said smiled back looking away from her phone.

"Im Freya, you can call me Frey if you want."

"Oh cool, nice to meet you Im Fox." She said said holding out her hand.

I gladly shook it and complimented her red hair.

"So what part of Cali are you?" She asked.

"Ventura, and you?"

"Orange County." she replied. "we should hang out sometime."

"Definitely!" I agreed.

We talked for the remainder of the time and became good friends, or at least I hope we did. She seemed really nice and I liked her a lot.

We were all lined up in alphabetical order. Fox was two people in front of me and it was almost her turn to go up. She kept giving me nervous glances and I gave her a thumbs up and a smile each time saying 'you got this!' and 'you'll do great!'.

From what she told me she was very shy and had stage fright.

She was really nervous about giving her speech.

I told her she could read it to me, and she did. It really impressive and a lot better than mine, but she was still really nervous.

"Fox Vineyard, is a very shy, but talented writer." Our professor started.

Fox looked over at me and I smiled before whispering, "you'll do wonderful!"

"She is never later and has a good mindset, Im sure shell have a wonderful future ahead of her, Fox, come on out here!" She said.

The audience clapped and she walked over to the stand taking her diploma before starting her speech.

She cut her speech short and I was a little upset that she did..but I guess she just wanted to get out of the spotlight.

Before I knew it, it was my turn I hadn't even been paying attention the guy behind me had to nudge me to let me know I needed to go up.

I took my diploma after shaking my professors hand then thanked my parents and my friends for all the support before stepping off and walking over to Fox.

"You cut your speech short!" I said with a frown.

"I know! I was too nervous!" she said covering her face.

"Aw its ok!" I said giving her a hug. "You did great."

"Thanks," she said.

Since our last names were close to the end of the alphabet there were only a couple people left before the ceremony was over.

After the last person said there speech our professor closed the ceremony and said there will be a 'party' out on the courtyard with food and games.

Fox and I quickly slipped off our gown and caps and went to find out family and friends.

"Hey! you did great! Im so proud of you honey." My mom said giving me a hug.

"Thanks mom." I said hugging her back. "dad didnt come?"

"Unfortunately no, he couldn't make it in time," she trailed off.

"Oh.."

"But Kevin and his friends came!" She said trying to brighten the mood.

I saw what looked like Kevin yelling at Alix and he looked pretty bummed out about something. I laughed, they're both idiots.

"I'll meet you outside?" she asked.

"Yea, sure."

I walked over to the two of them. "whats wrong? wheres Manny and Evan??"

"This butt hole left your present at the house so Manny had to go alll the way back home to get it!" Kevin explained.

"Its not my fault!! I thought you had it!" Alix argued.

"Hey, hey, hey! its ok! but then wheres Evan?" I asked.

"Oh, he had to stay home, he has a nasty cold." Alix explained faking a gag.

"Awww my poor grumpy kitten." I said frowning.

"Yeah, yeah, its just a cold." Kevin said.

"Oh! come on! I made a friend and I want you to meet her." I said remembering Fox.

I dragged both of the guys out to the courtyard and started looking for her.

"There she is! Fox!" I called waving in her direction.

She waved back with a big smile on her face.

"Hey, these are my friends Kevin and Alix." I said introducing them.

"Uh, boyfriend." Kevin corrected putting his arm around me.

"Whatever you wanna call it." I said. "Anyways this is Fox."

"Hello!" she said happily.

"Manny! 'bout time!" Alix exclaimed taking the small box from his hands.

Manny rolled his eyes at him. "congratulations." he said smiling at me.

"Thanks," I said.

"Open it open it!" Alix squealed.

"Alright alright!" I said unwrapping it and opening the box.

There was a necklace and at the bottom it had a card in a transparent cover.

The card said, 'Fueled by Ghosts All Access Pass.'

"Well?" Kevin asked. "Will you go on tour with us?"
