 I know your there. I can sense you watching me at night. Not only at night but at school too. You constantly stock me and watch my every move. I can't see you, nor can I touch you, but I can smell you. You smell very nice, you know? I wonder why your haunting me. Are you a ghost? 
 Are you haunting me because I'm not like the rest of the people you have seen before? I can feel you everywhere. I know your there so why won't you say "hi" to me?
 Do you think I might me scared? People have teased me and abused me all my life for being different, cause they're scared. They think that if you appear strong in the beginning, the thing or person that once frightened them will cower them instead. Such idiots, that proves your just some chicken butt. People have called me a freak, a monster, a Menace to society. 
 So I know how it feels to be treated like your nothing. I'm telling this to you so can know that I'm not like them.... I'm not afraid.

Chapter1
 Sitting in the back row next to the window has many advantages when your at school in my case. The teacher forgets your there most of the time and doesn't call you out. I have time to think and talk to him.
 The sprit I can sense. I can feel him staring at me right now. That amazing smell, a sad smell, a lonesome smell. I wonder if he was human once, did he die? Was he cursed? I don't know, it's not like I can literally talk to him with words. Maybe it's all in my imagination. Ugh! I can't think.
 "Monica! Can you hear me?"
 What? "Oh, sorry mrs. Lee, I wasn't paying attention". I look up at mrs. Lee and pause for her to repeat what she was saying.
 She clears her throat, "I was asking what your greatest fear is", she and the rest of the class transfer their attention on to me.
 What's this feeling? I feel like I have suddenly shrunk... or maybe they just got bigger.
 "Are you okay?" Mrs.lee rushes to me. The class murmers.
 Literally, my vision feels weird and my stomach hurts all of a sudden. Before I knew it, my eyes and the rest of my muscles just drop.
 What in the world? My head hurts like- "heeeello!" A man dressed in a green sweater and blue jeans appears in front of me. 
 "You seem much better", he smiles. "You may leave when you feel your ready", he walks away and I hear to nurses office door slam closed.
 I sit up in the school bed and look around.
 All alone...what in the heck happened in class. I wasn't nervous, I didn't feel at all tired so what happened?  The teacher asked me a question: "What is your greatest fear?" I couldn't answer that anyway, I'm not afraid of anything. I'm not afraid of being lonely, cause I'm always alone. I'm not afraid of pain, cause I always feel pain. I'm not afraid of a gun, cause I always carry a gun. Wait! Is it still in my pocket? I check my pockets and let a out a curious "hmm". 
 "Looking for this?" I look up and see Bryan (one of my bullies) twiddling a double action revolver gun in his hand. "Your quite light on your feet, twinkle toes(my cute nickname to this chicken butt)". 
 He gives a supposedly evil cackle and points the gun in my direction. "Do you not see the situation your currently in?" 
 I stand to my feet and push back my long white hair behind my ear. Is this his effort of intimidating me? How pathetic. 
 "Can you even aim?" I ask him.
 He pulls the trigger and falls to the ground. What in the world, it was as If he was shot the moment he pulled the trigger but... there's no one else in here. I walk over to him and crouch down to feel his pulse. He's alive...how fortunate. I look up to see if there were any cameras but instead, a boy that looks about my age looks down at me with a smug little smirk. 
 He has Brown hair and blue eyes, he has clear skin and wearing a white t-shirt+simple gray sweat pants. That smell, I can smell saddness again. You look real stupid, he laughs. Did he just?
 Jerk! "I didn't any help", I stand to my feet and meet him eye to eye. He glares at me gives off this devilish grin. Did he do something to bryan? 
 "Does it not hurt?" He crosses his arms.
 What's he talking about?
 I look to left of my shoulder where he is staring at and find that bryan has shot my shoulder. 
 "No", I sigh push back the white locks of hair that has once again fallen in front of my face.
 "Very well", he laughs mischievously as he walked past me towards towards the window.
 That smell, I know that smell. But from where? I can't forget it, something is telling me not to forget it. What am I forgetting again? Ugh!  I hear something click and turn my attention to the window. This guy has opened the window and is preparing to jump down. 
 He must be crazy, we are six floors up. Suicidal, maybe? Too bad for him. As he leans out the window with his feet on the window pane, he looks back at me with that stupid looking smile. "Just jump if your going to!", I yell to him. He ain't gonna do it, I snicker to myself.
 "Don't forget", he mumbles under his breathe. Hmm?
 Don't forget. "What that mean?" I Cross my arms. 
 "Don't forget my smell", he smiles.
 Smell? How did he know I was thinking about-?
 His foot pushes off the window pane and he disappears from my sight. For a moment, I felt my entire world fall apart for some reason. It was like a sudden chill ran down my spine but at the same time, this burning sensation in my head. Why? I Collapse to the ground with my hands dug in my hair. Why, what is this? I'm- I'm afraid...I think! I can't tell.
 "Ah!" The headache is coming back. Good lord!
 What is...happening to my body. That smell though, I smell a sad smell... where is it coming from? He said something, "Don't forget it", or something like that. Where do I know this scent from? A sad smell, a sad smell, a Lonesome smell, An Amazing smell! ....that spirit! I remember him but, how did I forget? All the pain in my body finally drains out and I can once again, stand to my feet. What just happened? That was my fist time experiencing fear, why did it happen all of a sudden? I don't want that feeling to come back, I just hope I remain normal after a nice long-(sudden realization). That boy, he just jumped, right?
 I walk over to the open window and stick my head out. Looking down, there's no body nor blood. Weird. "Meh", I shrug making my way out of the room.
