"Deliria"
- The Ghost
I stood in the doorway to the school, so frightened and shocked. Why was everyone looking at me?, What was going on? Thats when my ex Thomas walked up to me.
"Hey, Jon you look good man." he said, and never took his eyes off me once while he spat the words through his perfect white teeth.
"Thomas, what's going on man why is everyone looking at me?" I asked.
"Jon have you not noticed how pale you look, you look so beautiful though man. I have never seen you like this Jon."
My jaw just dropped, I mean I would expect this behavior from Carly but not Thomas. Me and him havent spoken since the middle of freshman year, and this year I'm a junior at Blackmore High. So all i could do was shove past Thomas as I quickly glided to the bathroom. I bursted through the door in tears thinking that everyone was playing a cruel prank on me. Soon Carly came running into the guys bathroom not even paying attention to the large boys in the back who were the most obvious reason for the smoke.
"What's wrong Jon, why are you crying?" she urged
"Look in the damn mirror!" I yelled
I was turned to the mirror clinging tightly to the counter before me. The dead stale ghost I saw staring back at me was not myself, I have never seen this person before. But I had to come to the fact that it was me staring back my rancid skin now so pale and smooth free of all the bumps and scars that lie embedded before. I could only gasp for air, as I felt so light headed.
And the only words I could breathe out were "Carly I'm scared, what's happening?", then I passed out on the floor which seemed much warmer that me.
^ ^ ^
The faint voice of my best friend floated around in my head as I opened my eyes. The blur before me was one of the boys who was in the back smoking still standing there. Then when I shifted my head up in the corner I saw a faint blur of a very pale boy almost like me. He was wearing all black from what i could tell. The boy was amazingly fast, for I never realized he was right beside me a second later. Then I just couldn't take it I had thought I was going insane for a moment and passed back out. Minutes later I realized someone was shaking me, that's when I finally got up off the floor.
"Where did that boy go?" was all I could stammer.
Carly was beside me, "What boy are you talking about Jon?" she asked
"Carly there was a boy right here beside me. Did you not see him where did you go?" I realized I was yelling when the school nurse walked in.
"I went to get help, I thought it could have been that nasty bite you said you had gotton." she said.
"What bite, let me see." the nurse aceded.
"Well..." I paused, "The bite is gone now Ms.Chapman, It was gone after some healing im fine just a little light headed that's all."
By the time Carly had dragged me to the office Ms. Chapman was already on the Phone with my brother Ryan who was my legal guardian. I kind of shot her a glance that told her I didn't want to talk to him about it, so she just said what happened and that I was fine now. She then checked out my hand looking for any sign of a scar or healing scab, but there was none. While she examined my hand her fingers kind of shook like she was holding ice or something but then the bell rang and I jumped up to go to class without a word. That's when Thomas caught me in the hall and asked me to walk with him to fifth period. I told him no, but he just begged for me to. Along the way to third period he kept looking at me and would not keep quiet.
"So what are you doing after school?" he asked
"Nothing." I said with a frustrated tone.
"Well would you like to go with me to my place?" he asked
"No Thomas, I can't I'm busy I-I-I have to help Ryan with some things today!" I barked back at him. Then I strode off without looking back, it was so weird that he wouldn't have anything to do with me this summer but now he is in love with me again. He looks at me like I have something so huge right on my forehead or something but I notice he is not looking at my forehead when he stares he is looking me right in the eye.
I finally made it to fifth period, which was good because I had art and I also got to skip the first four of the day. Fifth period was my last and easiest class I had I just sat there really, doodling here and there on a piece of paper for about a minute. Then I realized that my art teacher was staring at me, just the same Way Thomas had. The whole class period that lady just stared at me, officially creeping me out, so when the bell rang I just left as quickly as I could. I avoided everyone on the way home, I even managed to slip by Carly even though I wanted to see her.
Later I made it home, expecting to have Ryan question me with a million questions ,but he wasn't home. So I went to check for any notes or anything, when the phone rang. So I went to go pick it up, and who else was it but Ryan. Another late night of work and some pizza ordering is up for debate for tonight he exclaimed. So we ordered some pizza and around 8 o'clock he arrived home, we talked and then I just headed off to the bathroom around nine to take a shower, then off to sleep.
Around six in the morning I woke up, I layed in bed for a while with my cell laying next to me charging for today. I had layed there in silence when my cell when off, and the most horrible and ear piercing pain when through my head. I felt like someone was stabbing me in the ear, but I was alone and there was nothing ther but my phone ringing. I started screaming and screaming, and then ryan came busting through my door half naked to see what was going on. I felt so cold and dizzy when ryan got to me, he immediately let go of me cursing and confused.
"Jon your freezing, what's the matter what's wrong, why are you yelling?" he screamed. Soon my screaming turned into sobs as I layed back down crying. I was so scared I hadn't known what just happened.
Ryan suggest I stay home today, he called the school and told them I needed to stay home today. Then he left for work a little bit after that, leaving me by myself. Around 1 I had been doing nothing but laying around all day listening to Bullet For My Valentine and Disturbed, when I decided to leave the house and go to the mall. That's when I saw the boy I had seen the previous day again. I thought he was going to kill me around 3 o'clock at Blackmore's City Mall Centre.
