Finally, after being on the run for days now, I get to enjoy a nice, dreamless sleep, well, that is until someone threw a book at my head. I woke up to see this high school jock, probably soccer according to the uniform, standing at the end of my bed tossing another book up and down in one hand and in the other was a comic of me drawn by Simon. It looked like that comic was the one were I accidentally raised the homeless guy.

" Like playing around with dead bodies don't you, sweetie," he said with an evil grin.

" N-n-no, th-that was a-a-an accident," I stuttered.

" Yeah, right," he scoffed.

Ok, now I was going from terrified to annoyed. How come all of the ghosts actually believe that I just raise people into their bodies for the heck of it? Why on earth would I want to do that? Ugh, these ghosts are pushing my last buttons.

" Ok, I don't know why you or here, nor do I care, but that was and accident, and you shouldn't go around accusing people of things they didn't mean to do while you go around hitting people with books in their sleep!"

" Feisty, I like it. And I just thought that I would give a cute girlie like yourself a chance to get to know me."

" Well, aren't you a bit conceded," I stated, but despite myself, I said it with a smile.

I have to admit, if there was a couple things I missed from my old life, one would be flirting. I don't know how I can think about that at a time like this, but this was actually fun. I guess that it showed on my face because the ghost suddenly came over to me and kissed me.

This was probably the weirdest thing I have ever experienced. Its not that I could feel his lips on mine, its more of seeing them, of knowing that they were there. I jumped back, not the easiest thing to do while I am still in bed, but that got his attention away from trying to make out with me to the fact that it wasn't actually possible.

With this weird expression on his face, a cross between deep sadness and determination.

And with that, i pushed him away, but right before he went i heard,

" I will be back, sweetie." and then he was gone.
