You're Just A Ghost Now / A Zuripons Story #2 [COMPLETED]

Aspen, Again: Chapter 8

Lele's POV

After I gave Xander the number of my ex boyfriend's, I paid no attention to what he did and ran up to my room. I immediately changed out of the tight, jeweled dress and into black leggings, a red t-shirt with white stripes at the seams, and a pastel pink sweatshirt.

I pulled out my phone and checked my notifications.

Hannah Banana ❤️

Hannah Banana ❤️- hey do u want me to come up and we can talk?

Lele- aww sure 💕

She entered the room as quickly as I blinked, and popped onto me bed. "Come over here!" She said, and urged me over with her hand. I sat next to her and she gave me a hug. "How do you feel?" She asked. "I'm okay, I guess..." I said.

She gave me an unfamiliar look I couldn't read, so I just shrugged. "You're upset, aren't you?" She asked, and put her arm around my shoulder. I leaned on her and said yes. "It's stressful," I told her. "But it's nothing I can't handle."

We both were silent, and she removed her arm from me. "You just want to think alone?" She asked me, and looked into my eyes. "Sure," I said, and she started leaving. "Thanks for being so considerate." She turned around in the doorway, and saluted with a smile.

My stomach grumbled and I decided to go out, probably by myself. I put my phone into my pocket and crept downstairs. Hannah and Twan had obviously left, and Xander was in the other room. I heard his voice faintly.

Out the door I went after grabbing my keys, and I started to the exit of the building. I smiled at the lady sitting at the front desk (the smile was not returned), and tossed my keys into the air. I caught them and jogged the rest of the way to my car.

I took off my sweatshirt, getting hot from the jog, and turned my car on. When I pulled out of the parking lot, I thought about my meal choices while driving. When I got into town, I cruised by the restaurants and pulled into the almost vacant parking lot.

Because it was the emptiest, I walked into Jack in the Box, hoping that I would have time to work off the calories. "Hello, what would you like to order tonight?" The woman behind the cashier said. She was wearing a stained Jack in the Box apron, and a flour-covered hat.

"I will take an All-American Ribeye burger please," I said and pulled out a 20 dollar bill. I paid and got a table, sitting patiently. What caught my eye was one familiar girl walking in, with 5 teen boys behind her. "Lele!"
