Three Ghosts for Anastasia (Angels & Grim Reapers BOOK I)

Chapter 4: The lost foreman

"Seriously, if you don't get out of the room, I will definitely send you to the other side!"

"Come on Anastasia! Don't be shy. I am dead, remember?"

"And perverted too!" and I wore my socks rolling my eyes angrily on Perseus.

One month had already passed since the museum incident but Perseus, the ghost which was currently haunting me, wasn't leaving me in peace. From the bathroom to my room as also to my way to school, he followed me constantly, making my day even more difficult.

"Stand back, idiot ghost!" the angry voice came from behind and I felt the chill Marco's presence was bringing to me.

"Thank you Marco." I sighed.

"Don't thank me, I am still really angry with you!" and his expression became more furious.

My decision to help Perseus move on didn't satisfy Marco, who believed that a ghost so old like him wouldn't be an easy case to deal with.

"Hey both of you stop shouting!" and both of them looked at me astonished. "Seriously, the week hasn't even begun and you are still fighting! Marco, he is coming with me today; it will be easier to scout for more ghosts and Persea...stay away from my clothes!"

"If you still have guts to keep it on, then I will pull back." Marco said and touched the top of my head, "but remember to ask for help when the time comes, ok?"

"I understand, thank you."

"That's a good employee, not like someone else." he glared at Perseus

"Hey did you just say something?" Perseus shouted but Marco had already disappeared.

"Come on Persea, we are going to lose the first hour."

-------------------

"Ana, what happened to you?" Helen's voice sounded really worried.

"I am fine, just a little sleepy..." and I hid my face under my elbows on the desk.

The first four hours had already ended and three more were to go. The past days I could feel like someone was watching me. I wasn't sure if it was a ghost or a person but definitely it was irritating me.

I looked at Perseus who was trying to look under the desks of the students, trying to understand the term of underwear.

Persea

Yes?

Can you feel anything strange coming from the classroom?

Not really, but there is something strange around the school. Do you want me to check it out?

Yes, please and I will join you after the bell rings again.

Perseus disappeared from my sight, passing through the wall of my classroom. That presence had been bothering me for the past few days and I didn't want to cause any inconvenience to my class.

"Hey girls, are you ready for tonight?" John came to our desks, pretty confident.

"About what?" Helen's voice was quite worried.

"There will be a ghost hunting tonight!" he said with a proud voice.

I scoffed, trying to fake my surprise. "Ghost hunting? Please don't tell me that you believe in those things!"

"On the contrary Ana, there have been some rumors that somewhere around here a foreman had died!"

My body froze from his words.
