Red Is Not My Color

A Mistake

Ana
I have made it a year in college and haven't had any issues so far. Gage has met my parents and has been told by his ghosts and spirits a number of things by my ghosts and spirits. They of course keep the more private things quiet. Gage and I have become close friends and that is all we are. Neither of us want to be distracted by outside factors while trying to get our degrees.
Gage
Have you ever used your psychic ability to make money?
Ana
No and my parents wouldn't allow me to do it. Do you?
Gage
I do and that's how I am able to attend college. I work at psychic fairs in Seattle. I have regulars as well. I am paid very well. If you decide you want to do it let me know.
Ghost of Gabby Steele
Ana this is how you will meet your soulmate. Keep an open mind about it.
Ghost of Luke Anderson
Sure tell her that, but don't tell her about anything else. She has the right to know.
Gage
Can you two find something else to do, like haunting my parents please? We are trying to study here.
Ana
You know that just makes them annoy you more lol.
Gage
I know, but at least we can get them to quiet down for a little while. How many do you have regularly? I have five most of the time.
Ana
I stopped counting them, it's like they enjoy my company for some reason. But they warn me as well. They told me about your ghosts and spirits. They think the classes are stupid you know. But hey it has given me a new perspective. I can see why people can be resistant in regards to people being psychic or seeing spirits or ghosts.
Carla
Hey you need food come down and have your supper you two. I look at Ray and he just says believe me that are just studying and the door is always open. Suddenly I hear a female voice.
Gabby Steele
Carla don't start with this again. Ana needs this boy as a friend and he merely a friend who has a lot in common with her and you. So do not try to end their friendship or I will haunt you. We both know how much you hate that.
Carla
Okay I get it now let me alone okay?
Ray
So someone telling you to allow Gage and Ana to be friends. I laugh at my wife as she's arguing with an unseen entity.
Carla
Oh hush Ray, try arguing with a ghost sometimes, they know things we don't.
Gage
Just go with me and you can see what it's like. If you don't like it you can wait in the car for me.
Ana
Okay let me tell mom and dad we are leaving.

We arrive at what looks like a banquet room with tables lined up and sign in sheets for the psychics and their table assignments We get to the table Gage will be sitting at. Apparently they sell tickets and he gets paid a certain amount for each ticket he gets. He has his sign and how many tickets he charges for what he does and how long he does it. Mostly he tells the their futures. Our ghosts laugh at all of this.
Ana
I watch as Gage does his thing and it seems so easy for him. Until a girl my age walks up and places her ticket in his hand and asks for a reading. I blurt out that she should listen to her body guards and do as instructed. I am shown her being kidnapped.
Gage
Ana are you okay? You look like you were about to cry. Miss you should listen to her she's never wrong. This is free take your ticket back.
Mia
I don't have body guards, I don't need them.
Ana
You will when Christian makes his fortune.
Mia
Do we know each other?
Ana
I doubt it, I are doing college not a prep school with other wealthy families teens. Don't forget to listen to your bodyguards. It will save your life and your brothers wife and baby's life.
Mia
Neither brother is married. You must have read about my family somewhere.
Ana
I don't read newspapers or social news, I am 16 and in college and way too busy to do much. My friend here is the psychic.
Mia
Really, but you just predicted my future. Are you a psychic too?
Ana
I am, but I am just here to support my friend here. Gage is the professional I am just a simple person here to support my friend miss Grey.
Mia
How did you know my last name?
Ana
The name Grey just fit you. So you need some direction in your life don't you?
Mia
I am a bit lost, but  I have a lot of interest.
Ana
You would spend too much if you went into fashion. You shop too much and too often. Cooking would be a good thing for you. You love throwing parties and cooking for them.
Gage
Are you sure you don't want to do this and earn some money for it?
Gabby Steele
I think you should, because this girl needs you. You are part of her future.
Gage
Ana, Ana are you okay?
Ana
Yes I just had a flash of things in my mind, but they don't make any sense. I keep seeing a room with a lot of red and a guy in just jeans.
Mia
Can I get a business card? I want to hire you for my moms charity event. You will make it less boring. My parents have charity events, but they don't think outside the box and this is going to make it fun for me at least.
Gage
Here is my card just call me and I will drag Anas butt down there with me.
