I plop on my bed and sigh dramatically.

'Ring' 'ring'

"Hello" I pick up not bothering to look who's calling

"Hello sunshine" Mary says

"Sorry" I mumble

"How bad was it?" She says sadly

"No one would talk to me, I sat by myself at lunch in the music room and that Felix guy hates me" I say tearing up

"Maybe tomorrow will be better" she says trying to cheer me up

"Maybe" I say doubtful

"Have you seen any ghost?" Mary says changing the subject

"Nope not yet"

"Maybe go to the cemetery and talk to one" she says laughing a little

"I actually might do that" I laugh with her "I better go I'll talk to you later" I say

"Okay call me if you need anything" she says softly

"Thanks bye"

"Bye"

I hang up the phone, I feel some tears running down my cheek.

"Luke I wish you were here" I cry

After a while I hear aunt Lora come home.

"Jess" I hear her say my name

"Coming" I yell back and walk downstairs

"How was your first day of school?" She asks me

"Okay" I shrug

"Was that Felix guy nice to you?"

"We are basically best friends now" I nod

"That bad huh?" She says looking guilty about something

"Is something wrong?" I ask her

"Um tom he called me uh at work and" she smiles a tight smile

"Yeah?" I say slightly confused

"He asked us to dinner" she look away

"And you said no right?" I look at her

She smiles nervously

"Right?" I say again

"Well I tried I did but he kept asking so I told him we would" she sighs

"When" I sigh

"Tonight"

"Great" plop on the couch

"Maybe it won't be that bad" she says

"Mmmhmm" is all I say

"We have to be there soon so if you need to freshen up or anything"

I get up and go back to my room.

I don't want to go!

I text Mary needing to vent.
