When I was a child I thought I was delusional, my mom said I just had a wild imagination and that this was normal for kids my age. Now that I'm sixteen I've grown comfortable with the voices in my head. My therapist is still convinced that the meds I take will help me, he never listens.
"Good Morning mother" I said, she threw me a glance before telling me to hurry to school. She hasn't taken my diagnoses with schizophrenia very well. I left the house grabbing an apple on my way out and started to walk to school.
"Wait up I want to walk with you!" I turn around to see a slightly transparent girl running towards me. "I thought I told you spirits to leave me alone" I was trying to sound cold and uninterested but her large watery eyes got the best of me. "Pleaaasee, there isn't anyone to talk to around here all the spirit are stray cats and dead dogs" I eventually gave in and started a conversation with her. "Who is he talking to", "I don't know I heard he is mentally ill, poor thing". I overhear a group of girls from my school throwing pity at me, I guess it can't be helped.
I arrived at school and the female ghost started throwing me looks again, "Can I sit in class with you, I promise I'll be quiet". "Do what you want just leave me alone", I could tell she was slightly hurt by my tone towards her but I had bigger things to worry about, how was I going to become normal like everyone else? I'm so sick of being alone!
After a while I decided to go to class. I hate being late. Everyone stares at me and I never get in trouble because they always blame it on my disability. I don't really have a problem with that. I just feel somewhat disrespected every time it happens.
"It smells like a bathroom in here!" the ghost girl shouted. "Shut up it's a classroom not a perfume store!" only after I shouted and the ghost looked down understanding what was happening I realized how crazy I looked, maybe I should've come late after all.
"Alright class turn to page 394, we will continue our lesson, Sieya if you need anything please inform me" my face was flushed in embarrassment, I didn't know what to say so I just nodded.
After what felt like forever the bell ringed and we were dismissed to lunch. "Sieya did your ghost friend smell something today?" Julia said mockingly. "I don't have the energy to deal with your bullshit if you have a problem do something about it" I wanted to scare her away or at least get her in trouble. "No thanks I won't want to get in trouble for hitting the the disabled, haha!" she seemed to be enjoying herself but when she turn ack at me I was already off to the cafeteria.
"What a waste of time, looks like I won't be getting any of the good stuff today, I might as well just buy a salad I've been stress eating to much anyway" I mumbled to myself. "Who are you talking to?" the ghost girl said... I almost forgot she had been following me. "Shoo! Don't you see how much trouble your causing me!" I yelled, lucky the hallway was almost empty because of the rush to be in the front of the lunch line before the good food runs out. "But I was quiet the whole time" the ghost choked up before crying, if her goal was to make me feel sorry for he she hit the hammer on the nail. "Fine but if you cause one more incident you will be wandering by yourself again."
