Diary of a Mad Poet

he arrives

I wake up and get ready for school. The usual, I prepare my uniform and make sure all my books are in my bag.

I walk into the kitchen to find my mother sipping on tea in deep silence and staring into space. "Ma?"

She looks up at me and fakes a smile. "Good morning Kiah" she uses my first name and I know something is off. Everyone calls me Grace.

"What's wrong?" My question seems to put her into realization.

"I'll be out of town for a month" her words come out as though she doesn't trust them. "My boss has decided I go with him to China for our biggest clients final contract signing"

"Oh" is all I can say. I'm used to this. She would randomly leave me alone for weeks and come back with gifts to prove she had been thinking about me.

Well its nothing new. " I'm going to school right now, so I guess this is bye and love you" I say as I start walking away.

"Kiah!" I pause and wait for her to say something, " I'm leaving in 10 minutes,you know the rules" with that I walk out the house and start my walk to school.

________//
Same old same old students and same noises and teachers etc etc.
Then just as it's fourth period and I have decided that today will continue with boredom, she walks in.

Black short curly hair, chocolate eyes that match her chocolate skin and a smile worth more than I can give.

"Class this is Vivian, she is a new student here so please dont give her any trouble" Mrs Murphy announces and directs Vivian to a seat.

Now this girl is gorgeous and the boys are already drooling, but I'm more focused on the guy she walked in with. She was the only one introduced so I already know what he is, I think.

He has to be a ghost that's attached to her, he has the same chocolate eyes and skin and really short curly hair. He looks furious and noticing his eyes traveling to all the guys in this class I understand why. I guess that's her ex, still over protective and jealous, well that's cute.

"Grace!!" Mrs Murphy shouts pulling me out of my thoughts

"Yes?" God I hope she wasn't talking to me before calling me.

"I asked you a question" I could feel the entire class staring even the new girl

"I'm sorry, could you please repeat your question" I calmly say

"I asked if you could partner up with Vivian for the day, just so she gets acquainted", I notice the new girl biting her lower lip and playing with her fingers, nervous?

"I guess its okay"

"Yes I checked her schedule and y'all have the exact same classes" Mrs Murphy states with a smile on her face. I'm guessing she is trying to get or should I say give me a friend due to my only friend not attending the same school as me.

I turn to the new girl and the ghost ex is watching me, our eyes connect and a shiver travels up my spine. He walks over to me and I watch him then he stops, shock covering his face.

"You can see me?" His voice is deep and raspy but so smooth at the same time. I give him a quick nod and try to focus on the teacher but I can't focus when there is a ghost screaming thank you to God and doing the shuffle right next to me.

The bell rings and man am I glad until I notice Vivian standing at the door waiting for me. I sigh and walk towards her.

"Vivian right?" Boredom clearly lacing my voice and expression.

"Call me Vee" she smiles so brightly that it hurts my insides.

I won't lie, I'm a gloomy person who prefers dark cold weather and silence, I enjoy sad music that talks about heartbreak or losing a loved one or something tragic. I like being alone and avoiding people, life is just better that way.

"Cool, its lunch right now so....." Her ghost ex stands next to her and smiles at me.

"Can I sit with you, I dont have any friends" she plays with her fingers again and I nod and ignore the ex.

_________time jump_____

I get home and I am still thinking about Victor. Victor is Vivian's twin that passed away a month ago.

And here I was thinking its her super attached ex lover. She told me about him and how he took a bullet for her in some shooting and before he died, he promised to forever be by her side.

Really explains why he goes everywhere with her. Victor happened to talk too, a lot and I mean a lot. I didn't say much and I completely ignored him,well not fully cause he is hot but I guess I just avoided smiling or laughing at his goofiness.

He is just as sweet as Vivian though. I've never met such a pair. I didn't tell Vivian that I can see her brother, and for some crazy reason, its bothering me. I mean I just met her and I dont want to be weird plus in a couple of days she'll be part of the "popular squad" and I'll just be a memory. So why give her any information about me.

I live in death himself
Who wonders the world of the living and dead
Stacking pictures on a hidden shelf
I am a keeper of words never said

Victor......

I can't get him out of my head!!!! Goddammit!!!! Can't even finish writing a poem.
