   LINDSEY DUNBAR   

I was with Liam and Scott who were practicing on the field, while they were doing that I was doing homework as I lay on the grass. "Did you feel that?" Scott asked, I looked up from my paper. "Feel what?" Liam and I ask, "Thought I heard something. Forget it. All right, let's keep going," Scott says and throws Liam the ball.

"Or we could call it," Liam suggested, "We should call it, I'm tired," I say. "We gotta work on your back shots," Scott tells Liam, "Why?" Liam asks. "Liam. They suck," Scott says, "He's right. They do suck. Like... bad," I agree. "What are you guys talking about?" Liam asks, "Your back shots. Which suck," Scott repeats. "Bad," I add, Liam picks up a ball then starts doing really amazing back shots.

I furrow my eyebrows, "Must've been thinking about someone else," Scott says. "Huh... me too," I shrug and start picking up my books, "Yeah. Maybe someone else who should be Captain?" Liam says. "We'll make it," Scott reassures Liam, then the field lights starts to go off. I stand up once I put all of my books in my backpack, "Well, guess we have to go now," Liam said.

"No we don't," Scott says as he looks back at Liam and shines his eyes, then Liam shines his eyes. I roll my eyes as they keep practicing, "Ugh, fine. I'll stay," I groan as I sit back down on the grass. After a while I hear Mason's heart beating really fast, "What's wrong?" Scott asks. I quickly stand up, "Something's happening to Mason," We say then we all run to the school.

We get to the library and open the door only to be met with Corey and Mason who almost hit us with a fire extinguisher and a chair but they stop once they see its only us, "They were here. The Ghost Riders," Mason tells us. "Here? Just now?" Scott asks, "I thought they left when the storm left," Liam says. "I guess not, because two of them were right up there," Mason said pointing to the second floor of the library, "What were they doing?" Scott asked them.

"We didn't see when they came in. We only saw them when we turned invisible," Mason explained, Liam looked at Corey. "You brought him into this?" he asked Corey, "He was trying to protect me," Mason said walking up to Liam trying to calm him down.

"They didn't seem to care about us. They, they walked right by us," Corey told us, "Then what happened?" Scott asked. "Uh... they just jumped down and left," Mason replied, "That's it?" Liam and I ask. "Yeah," Corey responded, "They didn't take someone? There was nobody else in here?" Scott questioned. "No... it was just us," Corey said, "But, that doesn't make any sense," I sigh.

The next day at school while Liam was trying out for team captain, I was with Mason. We walked to the library and found Corey looking up at something, "Don't you have class?" Mason asks his boyfriend. Corey turns around and looks at us, "Don't you?" Corey asks. Then a girl shushes us, I roll my eyes. "I can't stop thinking about last night," Mason tells him, "Me either," Corey says.
