Chapter 11 : Mike Lashfire

Class begun and to her horror she found Dave behind her. He gave her an unwelcoming smile and had a smug look. Creepy!

"Class we have a transfer student, why don't you tell us about yourself" the teacher asked the slightly tall teen who was right behind him

"I'm Mike Lashfire, hmm I hmm..

"I think that's enough" The teacher said as he noticed he was stammering.

The boy stood behind him as if he was afraid of someone.

"You can take a seat" the teacher said as he encouraged the boy to let go of his arm.

"Sir he can sit on Olivia's chair " Dave said as pointed at the chair close to the window.

"Sure" the boy said as he came close to the supposedly empty seat.

Olivia quickly moved but accidentally pushed the chair along with her totally freaking the entire class out.

"Ghost" a girl yelled.

"I'm not gonna sit next the undead" another said as half of the class rushed to the back leaving the other half afraid and shaking in fear.

Dave looked at her and smiled as she gave him the stink eye. He looked at the rest of the class and laughed hysterically.

"Dave, that's enough" the teacher yelled but he was having none of it.

"There's no ghost here" the teacher said as he tried to calm the students.

"It's probably just the wind" he said more to himself than to them.

"Sir but the window is closed" a girl replied.

"Well then think of something else then" the teacher said as he continued teaching.

None of the students seemed relaxed as they stood still. The boys infact seemed like they were more afraid than the girls as they barely listened to what the teacher was teaching.

Dave turned back to his classmates laughed and then looked at Olivia who was still angry, he enjoyed making her angry and for now he seemed at peace.

Class ended and as Dave was getting his books from his locker Olivia gave him a hard knock on his head and since she was invisible he had no choice but to ignore the hard knock.

"Are you nuts, why would you do that.....

Dave ignored her lectures and noticed that whenever she talked the students nearby would run away. Gosh, he didn't care what Olivia thought, to him her disappearance was more comforting than her presence.

"Hey" Mike said as he walked past Olivia. Olivia turned back as she discovered that Mike didn't bump into her or push her. He seemed to have noticed her.

"I think he saw me" Olivia said but Dave did not listen. He was thinking about something else.

"Did you hear me"

"Look as much as it pains me to say you disappearance is the best thing that has ever happened to this school, just look..." he said pointing to some students who still seemed traumatized from what had happened earlier.

"There're all afraid, even the teachers so if you keep this up maybe the school might shut down" he said as he smirked.

The day went by smoothly but Olivia knew they was one person she had to talk to, her mom. She knew a simple lie won't work so she decided to decive her.

"Mom, I'm at Josaphine's for a project"

"Oh, can Molly come along"

"No, it's just a project"

"Be back soon, okay"

"Okay, bye." she said before she hung up.

She walked home and as she was halfway there she remembered she couldn't just walk in without raising suspicions so she decided to use the ladder that lead to her room.

She got inside her room and brought out a diary.

Dear diary,

School has been miserable to me, ever since I became invisible, the only person that can see me is that Dimwit Dave and he is far worse than my condition.

He makes me scare people every now and then, he's a real pain in the butt but whatever.

Things I understand about my condition

1. It is started the night of Josaphine's slumber party and yes I met Robert who allegedly saved me from a stranger.

2. It has to do with the green slime, I think the effects are temporary.

3. I'm beginning to think the side effect of the green slime is Memory loss, I have been really forgetful.

4. I can't tell anyone about this until I'm certain it's serious therefore don't tell Mom or Dad.

5. If I'm reading this it means I must have forgotten something so remember Future Olivia that the only clothes you're allowed to wear are the clothes in the pink bag with slime all over it, other than that don't wear regular clothes.

She closed the diary and hid it in her drawer. As she sat on the bed she remembered Mike who she was certainly seen her but why did he also seem scared when they were in class.

He even called her a ghost WEIRD.

She needed answers and she knew Dave would be of no help so why bother him anyways. She looked at the time and still decided to check on him.
