The face that I thought was Darren’s suddenly disappeared.
" Hey, did you guys see that" Max looks up from his book and Lena looks up from her phone.
" See what?" they say at the same time.
" Okay, I might sound crazy but I... I think I just saw Daren!"
Lana hurts out laughing, while Max looks at me with a blank look on his face.
" Um Nora... Darren is dead" Max says while Lana is still laughing.
At that moment all I could feel was a little frustrated with my friends. They probably were thinking about putting me in a mental hospital.
" Lana stop laughing she is serous!!!" Max says. Max stops being the jokester when he has to, but then thats when Lana becomes the jokester. Lana finally shuts up.
" Maybe it was just my imagination" I say. I'am pretty sure that it wasn't but i didn't want to talk about it anymore.
" Sorry guys I've got to go" I stand up then walk away.
I run home with my book bag nearly ripping cause of the 10 books I have in it. My mom is laying in the living room watching soap operas.
" Mom can we talk?" She pats on a space beside her. I go sit. I tell her the whole Darren story. My mom is a great listener. Maybe it could be cause she is a bit depressed.
"Nora i've been meaning to tell you something" My mother says. My phone suddenly rings. Playing a little jingle. I pick it up and its Lana.
" Come quick I have to tell you something." Lana says while speaking really quickly.
" Okay I'll be right there" I spit out. "Sorry mom, gotta go!" Then I run out the door.
