I ran a hand through my hair with a sigh and tapped my pen against my desk quietly. The rest of the classroom was fairly quiet except pens flying across papers filling in answers I didn’t know. Except that, the room was deathly quiet but Nick who was sitting on top of my desk, covering my test and singing a song in a crappy voice.
I glanced at the clock on the wall and was filled with panic. Two minutes left. How could there only be two minutes left?! There were forty minutes left a minute ago or so!
“I'm in trouble I'm an addict
I'm addicted to this girl
She's got my heart tied in a knot
And my stomach in a whirl
But even worse I can’t stop calling her
She's all I want and more
I mean damn,
What's not to adore
I've been playing too much guitar
I...I've been listening to jazz
I called so many times
I swear she’s going mad
And that cellular-er will be the death of us
I swear, I swear” Nick sang and I hit him on the arm.
“Shut up you stupid mutt!” I yelled. “I’m trying to finish my test!” The rest of the class looked up in surprise and stared at me like I was mad, which I probably looked like in their eyes. The teacher slammed her ruler against her desk and shot up, her chair falling over.
“Ms. Gale!” she barked, steam practically rolling out of her ears. “Be quiet! This is a test! Students are actually trying to succeed with this, so shut your mouth and respect your colleagues!”
“Of course miss” I said quietly and looked down. The bell rang and I handed in my test and grabbed my stuff before hurrying towards the door.
“Not so fast Ms. Gale” the teacher said and I groaned to myself, before turning around and walking over to her.
“Yes miss” I said and straightened my back so she wouldn’t start yelling at me for being sloppy.
“I’ve been looking through my fingers for a very long time. You have been shouting out things in class, hitting the air, talking to yourself, and slapped other students. You may not know this but the school nurse and I have been discussing this, and we have come to an agreement that you should see her. This was decided two weeks ago, though during this two weeks you have been awfully quiet and…proper, so we decided to wait and see if this had ended or not. Obviously it hasn’t, and you should go and see the nurse every day at four o’ clock to discuss your problems with her.”
“Excuse me miss, but I don’t have any problems” I said quietly, trying not to snap at Nick who was standing behind her chair and doing silly faces.
The teacher laughed bitterly. “Oh, you do. You really do. This is actually the worst case I’ve ever seen before in my life. And I have 50 years of life experience. You have serious mental problems, and if the talks with the nurse don’t help, we will send you to a place for people…who can’t really think straight.”
“You don’t have the right to do that” I said and gritted my teeth together.
The teacher slapped her ruler against her desk again. “Then I will get the rights! I’m tired of your sick, mental problems and I don’t want to have you near me!” she hissed. “Now leave my classroom.”
I swallowed and curtsied to her. ”Of course miss” I said and left the classroom. Nick appeared in front of me with a grin on his face.
“I love my life” he said, walking backwards.
“You don’t have a life you idiot” I muttered quietly and glanced around. “You’re dead, remember? That’s why you won’t leave me alone.”
“Aw come on, you’re making it sound like a negative thing! We who have such a great time together!”
“We don’t have a great time together. We’ve never had a great time together. We never will have a great time together. Because I’m a human, and you’re a ghost. I hate ghosts. Used to think they were cool when I was little. Now I don’t think so anymore. And besides, you’re annoying, I’m not. Just doesn’t work together” I said and continued walking to my locker.
“Try to be positive for once. It’s good for you” Nick said and shoved his hands into his pockets.
“I am positive” I said.
“Why are you talking to yourself?” someone asked from behind me.
“I’m not!” I snapped and turned around to look at the person who had spoken to me. My eyes widened at the sight of the guy I was crushing on. Oh no…not him. Please don’t have him think I’m a freak!
