The Spectre

Chapter Thirty Eight : Sleep Over

Friday

I invited Bom and CL for a sleep over. The masquerade ball will be held tomorrow night and we no longer have problems with what to wear for the said event so I took this opportunity to talk to them about GD. I'm hoping they won't freak out. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

My mom and aunt were very much delighted to meet them. I guess they're just happy that I've made some friends at school. Bom and CL were nice to them as well. We had a sumptuous dinner and a few talks with my elders before we excused ourselves.

The three of us are now in my room wearing PJ's. CL made fun of Bom's Pajama's because it's printed with tiny Dora the Explorer's. Bom pushed her lower lip outward making CL laugh hard. Bom looked like a kid that's about to cry and seeing her face made me laugh as well.

"What's wrong with my pajamas?!" Bom exclaimed. "I hate you guys!" CL hit her face with a pillow. We're sitting on top of my bed goofing around.

"You're the only girl I've seen wearing Dora PJ's and you're like, seventeen!" CL chortled. I couldn't suppress my giggles. CL was right, Bom's the first teenage girl I've ever seen wearing those kind of pajamas. I mean, I don't have anything against the Dora the Explorer character but, it's more of a kiddie thing. It's no longer appropriate for teenagers like us.

"So what?! They're comfortable! Leave my PJ's alone!" Bom took hold of a pillow and hit CL hard on the face.

"Why you little!" CL smacked Bom's face again with the pillow she'd been holding. "Arya! Help me destroy her!"

I laughed and grabbed a pillow. It's the two of us versus Bom. It was quite a ruckus, that pillow fight of ours. Bom was surprisingly strong and she defeated us. We got tired and lay down on the bed, our chests furiously rising and falling.

"That was crazy." Bom muttered in between breaths. I'm in between Bom and CL.

"Yeah, I didn't know you were that strong." CL laughed and shook her head.

"Are we going to sleep now?" Bom asked looking at both CL and me. I shoot up straight immediately and went at the end of my bed and sat there facing them. Bom and CL sat upright as well.

"Look, I invited you guys for a sleep over because I want to talk to you about something.." I told them calmly.

CL and Bom looked at each other. "About what?" CL asked with furrowed eyebrows.

"It's about.." Please don't let them be scared, Lord God. "It's about a boy."

Bom's eyes widened and she gasped. "A boy! I knew it!" CL just rolled her eyes. "Who is it?!" Bom asked me with excitement in her eyes.

"Err.. It's not what you guys think.. I mean.. It's a little complicated.." I told them.

"Huh? Why?" Bom stares at me with those innocent looking eyes of hers.

I sigh. "I'll tell you who he is but.. promise me, you won't freak out."

Bom blinked at me a few times, totally clueless. CL snorted. "C'mon just tell us." She commanded.

I'm a little bit nervous about this but I have to give it a shot. "Okay." I muttered. "You can come out now." I said a little loudly over my back. Bom and CL looked baffled and stared at me like I just went crazy. I signaled for them to wait. "I said, you can come out now. Don't make us wait." The light in my room suddenly flickered and went out. Bom shrieked.

"Arya what's going on?" I hear her say.

"Don't be scared, Bommie. It's going to be alright." I whispered. The lights suddenly went back on and I saw the two of them hugging each other. Even CL looks a bit spooked. Their eyes widened in horror as they look right past at me. Both of them had their mouths agape.

"Hello." I hear GD's voice. I turn to look at my back and saw him standing there. I smiled at him.

"Holy mother of God." CL gasped. Bom didn't have the chance to scream, she went crossed eyed and lost consciousness.

CL backed away. "Holy shit! Is this for real?!"

"CL, calm down. Be quiet." I told her. "Yes what you see is real. He's--"

"GD.." CL whispered looking at him. "B-But you're dead.."

"I am. I'm just a ghost now." GD sat beside me. He smiled at CL. "Don't be afraid of me, I won't do anything to you."

"B-But.. H-How.." CL shook her head looking confused and shocked at the same time.

"I'm going to tell you from the very beginning." I told her and she nodded her head.

And I did. I told CL everything. From the very first time I met GD until the moment I've found out what he really is. And then I told her about what really happened in his death and Gyuri and Jaejoong's role in it. CL sucked up some air as soon as I'm finished telling her all of it.

"Those freaking monsters! I should've known!" CL became outraged. "Our friend Jinn had to switch schools because of her brother's death! People think he's an addict! Well it wasn't true!" CL huffed like a dragon. She's really mad right now. "Those psychos! I won't let them get away with this!"

"CL calm down. That's the reason I wanted to talk to you guys. I have a--"

I was cut off by Bom who suddenly woke up after her fainting. "Oh, I slept? I'm sorry.." She rubbed her eyes and took a chocolate bar from her pajama pocket. "You wouldn't believe what I just dreamt of." She told us as she tore open the wrapper of the chocolate bar and took a bite of it. She continued talking even with her mouth stuffed. "I saw--" She stopped when she saw GD. "..him." For the second time again she went crossed eyed and fainted.

"Bom!" I shouted.

"Oh leave her be! She's fine!" CL shooed me away. "What were you saying? You have a?"

"Y-Yeah.." I gazed at Bom worriedly. "A plan. I have a plan."

CL nodded. "I see. Let's talk about it."

"Huh?"

"Didn't you hear me?" CL told me with her usual irritated facial expression. "I'm in. Whatever your plan is, I'm in." She smirked.

I smiled at her then to GD, he just raised his eyebrows and grinned.

(Annyeong yeorubun! This would be my last update for now. I'm guessing there's just four or five chapters left before I end this long story of mine. He he. I'm really hoping that you'd wait for the finale and that you'd stick with me 'til the end. Whatever's the ending I wish you'd still love it. :) I want the last parts to be good and I'm wishing that I won't disappoint you. Be patient and wait for the remaining chapters. Thanks, Salamat, Gomawo!)
