Jay POV
"This isn't just about you. It's about what's best for all of us.." I turn and see three boys and a girl ignoring them. "Julie please..at least look for a singer in there for us and who doesn't freak out about ghosts.." *(Would you freak out if you were in a ghost band or asked to join one? I know I would be.)* I stare and realize that must be the famous group, Julie and The Phantoms.
"I'll look but no promises..I am swamped with homework so the person is just going to be a backup and not full time, okay." They nodded as she started to walk in the school, I ran to try and bump into her.
It worked and everything went flying. From textbooks to papers and even song lyrics, "I'm so sorry that I am such a clumsy person.." she laughs, "your good.." *(A Ghost who can bump into Lifers, how interesting..)*
I smiled as I could see one of the phantoms in anger. *(Did you guess correctly when reading this? If you couldn't guess already it is Luke)* She picked up the letter of appreciation for the music program and stared at me. "You into music?", "You could say that..my parents sort of pressured me into playing the piano which then led to me singing."
Her eyes widened, "Wait, you can sing?" I nodded, "What are you?" I told her I was in the middle so neither soprano or alto. She smiled as the bell rang, "I am Julie..", "I am..am.."
I wasn't sure if I should have used my real name to be known as what I am in Brooklyn or go by what my father used to call me since he was the only one that called me by it. "I am Jacob.." I went for what my dad calls me since he can never remember the name Jayden.
"Nice to meet you Jacob..would you like me to show you around?" I nodded, "That would be lovely.." She handed me back the binder and the journal as a picture slipped out.
She picked it up and looked at it. It was a photo of me and my mom, "Wow. You look so much like your mom..", "Thanks I guess.." *(Fun Fact #3, People think I look like my mom when she was younger. Which I don't see it.)* I took it back and stood up as we started walking and talking about music. As we walked to her locker, there was another girl there waiting, "Hey. Hey.", "Hey what's up Flynn.." the girl known as Flynn started going on and on about how there was a new music student joining their music class.
I laughed along with Julie as she looked at me, "I know who it is already..", "Who is it? What's their music skill? And please tell me it isn't May..she has no vocals." *(May is based on someone I know who has no vocal skills yet she still tries anyways, not being rude but it's true.)* She laughed and said no and looked at me, "This is Jacob, he is joining and he is a singer.." she looked at me, "This boy needs a makeover," she laughed as I looked at her, "Seems like you do also.."
She smiled as she said "I like him much better than Carrie..he isn't that mean of a demon.." Julie slightly punches her arm, "So what are you going to sing for the class to get to know you?" Asked Flynn, I looked at her and said an original. "He is just going to fit in perfectly..maybe he can be the fill in.."
I knew what she was talking about but I had to act like I didn't. "Fill in? For what?" Julie pulled me over near the janitor closet along with Flynn. "I am known for being in the band Julie & The Phantoms, but people think the Phantoms are holograms but in reality they are gh-"
"Their ghost from the old band Sunset Curve back from 1995. And they only appear when Julie sings with them, but she can see them anytime though since she has some gift in telling who's a ghost and who isn't.." I act surprised with my widened eyes.
"Say what. No way. That's AWESOME..are they among us?" *(But can she spot Jayden as a ghost who lies and make people believe in him? Stay tune..)* I didn't see them in sight. "No they aren't. But if you sing very well in class, maybe I can get you an audition for the band." I nodded, "Sounds like a challenge. I accept it.."
I smile as I feel like smirking. We walked to the class as the teacher looked at me as I handed her the paper. "Alright class meet the newest student Jacob Jonathan.."
People applauded as the teacher handed me a microphone. "Testing 1..2..3.." it was working as I gave her a cd to play the background audio.
I smiled then got a tingle and tightness in my stomach. I tried to ignore the pain and continue with the performance.
Missed By A Shot
It began on a wild June night:
I was born in Brooklyn by a smart mother,
As for my father, he was the most intelligent singer.
He reminded me of myself,
My intelligent self,
My ways of singing
We used to write and sing so well together,
Back then.
We wanted to sing together, around the world,
That's all we wanted.
But one night, one wild night,
We decided to do too much.
I saw him as he made a dent into the liberty statue.
It was scary, so scary.
From that moment our relationship changed.
He grew so violent and my parents then got a divorce.
And then it happened:
Oh no! Oh no!
He had tried to shoot his son .
Alas, his son fled!
His mother sent him here
It was a great, so great choice.
When I think of intelligent mother,
That intelligent mother had saved me
and I thanked her daily
*(Fun Fact #4 Missed By A Shot is inspired by Hamilton's song called My Shot)*
I sighed and breathed heavy as people applauded, if only they knew the true meaning behind the lyrics to the song they wouldn't be applauding. My father in fact shot me and my mother was there and failed to protect me. *(Could this be the truth or just another one of his lies..)*
But my ghost form survived due to my mother keeping me in her thoughts. And that made me gain a bit of a physical appearance and being able to touch stuff.
"That was so touching Mr. Johnthans..", "May I be excused..I need some air.." the teacher let me go outside of the school to catch my breath, but in reality I felt the pain and it wouldn't go away.
The bolt of shock made me tip over and fell in the grass. "Look, Jay the pain is never going to end, just face it. Trusting people isn't part of your system..if you ever could the pain may have been less of a shock."
I look over and see it was Caleb, "I just sang in front of her class about my death, if that doesn't convince her to let me audition, than I have a back up song that I could use to tell her what you did to me.." another shock pulse happened but this time much worst.
"Don't you even think about it, you spill out lies when you're near her. You gave her a name your daddy called you. You told her that you are alive. You can never tell the truth without gaining trust from thy group." He disappeared as I struggled to get up. I screamed as the tattoo on my wrist darkened and then faded away.
I got up by the help of Willie as he appeared. "Dude. I heard you sing and damn your amazing..Julie got to pick you.." I thanked him as I tried walking back to class as he disappeared.
When I walked back in Dirty Candy was performing as usual. *(How does he know about Dirty Candy...hmmm..)* I went near Julie as she handed me the same flyer Caleb gave me. "Welcome to the band..hope ghosts don't freak you out.." I smirked in my head, "they don't scare me one bit.."
*(Well duhh, your a ghost/lifer.)*
