Ghost's Can't Love

20 December 2012; the day that Elspeth Green, a quirky 17 year old girl, found out about her best friend Marcus' death. Each day without him pushes her farther into a depression filled with coffee-stained notebooks and fading blue hair dye, but no matter how hard she tries to forget him, she can't. The thought of Marcus still lingers on, perhaps because Marcus himself is still lingering on. Each passing day, El finds herself falling in love, trying to contact him from the dead so he could be with her. Is El just going crazy, or is Marcus really running his fingers through her hair when she cries, sitting there while she eats his favorite meals, and wrapping his arms around her waist when she sleeps?
