Julie and the Phantoms

Chapter 8

Julie's p.o.v

Today was going to be weird for all of us. My dad since finding out everything that has been going on has decided to enroll the guys in school. I don't know if the guys are ready for this. They still have so much to learn. They don't even know what Instagram is yet. Right now we were all eating breakfast. I could tell that Luke and Reggie were excited but Alex looked like he was going to pass out at any second.

Luke: Dude are you ok?

Alex: Do I look ok to you?

Reggie: Why are you so nervous?

Alex: Are you kidding me? We are going back to high school. High school was a living hell for me. I don't want to do it again.

Luke: Alex we won't let anything happen to you.

Julie: What do you mean?

Alex: When I came out at school I basically became the school's punching bag. It got so bad that I ended up in the hospital.

Julie: Oh my god that's horrible.

Alex: Does that kind of stuff happen a lot now?

Julie: Well people are more accepting now but unfortunately there are still some rude people at my school.

I heard a knock at the door which meant Flynn was here. We all grabbed our backpacks and then headed to school.

Luke's p.o.v

When we got to the school we walked inside. As soon as people saw us they started getting closer to us. I completely forgot that this happening could be a possibility. People have only seen us as holograms and are seeing us in person for the first time.

Flynn: Ok people calm down and take a few steps back. They are just 3 regular people just like you.

Reggie: Guys I think a girl just winked at me!

Julie: Reggie I think a lot of girls are.

Flynn: So you guys need to go to the office to get your class information and locker numbers.

Luke: Let's go.

After going to the office we got our schedules and locker numbers.

Julie: Cool we have Math and Music together.

Flynn: Also all of your lockers are in the same hallway.

Julie: C'mon I will  show you where they are.

We walked down the halls to where our lockers were. After putting everything inside that I didn't need I locked it.

Flynn: Class is in 5 minutes.

Our first class of the day was Math. Once we got to class the teacher told us where to sit. A few minutes later someone sat down at the desk beside me. It was Nick. This class is going to suck.

Nick: Wait what are you guys doing here?

Reggie: We go here now?

Nick: You guys moved all the way from Sweden to come here?

Alex: Pretty much.

Julie: This way we can perform together and they won't just be holograms.

Nick: Cool. Have you guys thought about joining the lacrosse team? We could always use more people.

Luke: Sports aren't really our thing.

Nick: Oh right. Are you joining the music program?

Reggie: Yes. They opened 3 new spots just for us.

Nick: I guess we will be having more classes together.

Luke: That's just great.

Alex's p.o.v

School was over so now Julie, Luke, Reggie and I were all walking home.

Julie: So how was school?

Reggie: It was ok I guess.

Luke: Well it was better then school back then.

Alex: What is that?

As we were about to walk into the studio there was something in front of the door. It was a helmet. Willie's helmet. I haven't seen him since the day we played the Orpheum. He thought I was going to cross over but obviously that didn't go as planned.

Julie: What's that?

Alex: It's Willie's helmet.

Julie: Where is he?

Alex: I don't know. What if we can't see him because we are human now.

Reggie: So he could be here right now and we just wouldn't know?

Luke: Yeah.

Willie: Alex.

I looked behind me and was surprised. It was Willie. I immediately ran up to hug him.

Willie: Wait what happened? Weren't you supposed to cross over?

Alex: Playing the Orpheum wasn't our unfinished business. Julie was somehow able to turn us human.

Willie: How did you do that.

Julie: I just kind of touched them and then they turned human. We can try if you want.

Willie: Ok.

Julie went to grab Willie's hand. When she did they just ended up going through each other.

Alex: Why didn't it work?

Reggie: That's weird.

Luke: Yeah. 

Alex: How come I can see you and hug you but to everyone else can walk right through you?

Willie: Well it could be a lot worse.

Alex: So I'm assuming that Caleb isn't very happy with us.

Willie: Something weird is going on with Caleb. He is disappearing more often then usual.

Julie: You don't think he is looking for them. Do you?

Willie: I don't know. 

Reggie: Let's go inside and talk more about this.

We all walked into the studio to discuss what we think is going on with Caleb.
