Fix Me Phantom (1)

Back in 1984, I was a normal teenage girl. Yup, all the way until I died. I was mugged while on the street. My name is Mackenzie. But most people call me Mac.

And I am a phantom. Us Phantoms have super strength, speed, and the power to become invisible. I can be in my original phantom form while being seen. Or I can make myself look human. But here in the present day, it's 2008.

I still want to be normal. But I don't know-how. The way I talk and speak gives off an 80s vibe. But one day I bumped into a kid in the hallway. "Oops, sorry", he told me.

"Oh, it's no problem". "I'm Samuel but everyone calls me Sam". "I'm Mackenzie but you can call me Mac". He walked me to class and we talked about being sophomores in high school and how time goes by quickly. "Uh this is my class", I told him.

"Mine too", he said with a smile. We sat next to each other. Although the teacher was talking we continued to talk. "How much do you wanna bet that girl is going to throw a party after school"? I smiled.

"Mr. Ashton and Ms. Russel I hope I am not interrupting". "Nope". "Not a thing". We both looked at each other with a smile.

After some more classes, we realized we had the same schedule. At lunch, Jessie Sposage stood at a table and shouted. "Party at my house after school". "Told you", Sam gloated. I chuckled.

I didn't have a house so I made myself appear in different clothes before going to the party. I saw Sam there. "Mac"! "You came", he almost sounded surprised. "I had no reason not to come".

Sam and I were already best friends by the second week of school. I felt normal. One day at night time while sitting in a field Sam looked at me. He tried to kiss me. "I'm sorry Sam I- I can't", I got up and ran a bit before making myself invisible.

I watched with tears as he got up and looked for me. "Mac...Mac where'd you go"! I ran away. The next day we didn't talk to each other. I came up to him after school. "Sam..".

"I know Mac just l-". I grabbed his arm and pulled him behind the school. "What are we doing". I went into my true phantom form. "What the h-". "Shhh", I tried to quiet him down.

"What are you"? "I'm a phantom". "That day on the field.. Where did you go"? "I-I think it's best if I show you". I turned invisible.

"Woah". "What else can you do"? I threw him on my back and ran downtown in seconds. He got off and threw up. "Sorry". "I'm fine", he said panting.

He got up and followed me. I picked up a dumpster and threw it across the lot. "You might want to step back for this one". The ground started to shake and cracks formed but then it stopped. "Aw man"!

"What was supposed to happen"? "It was supposed to make spirits come from cracks in the ground and it was supposed to be cool". "Oh". "Yea I guess I haven't mastered it yet".
