(Cover by: happybunnyx123) Lexi is a freak, at least that's what everyone tells her. She talks to the dead, has no friends and her own father is afraid of her. But when a new teacher arrives at school her life is shaken up more than she could ever imagine.

I said sarcastically at him with my hands on my hips as I blew a strand of loose red hair out of my face. "I'm not normal, I keep trying to tell you I'm an animal!" He yelled as he struggled against the ropes again, making the chair wobble. "then I'll tame you." He stopped struggling when I said that and looked at me with raised eyebrows. But for once he didn't try to stop me.
