Bella's pov
Today makes it the third week since I made friends with Rose and her ghost brother. I finally accepted I can see and communicate with ghosts. I have decided to help him not because I want to but because I want him off my back in no time
"Bella, Rose is here. Hurry up and go to school"
"I'm almost done dad"
...
"Rose, do you believe one can see ghost?" I asked and she just stared at me like I've gone mad
"do you see one?" she asked me back
"yes"
"who"
"it may sound stupid to you but I need to tell you this because you are my friend"
"finally, you acknowledge me as one" Rose said with a smile
"are you ready to listen or not"
"I am, so tell me who you saw"
"Peter"
"who is pe... Wait, you mean my brother?" she asked with a wide eyes
"she is so quick to understand, thank god I made her my friend" I said to myself
"yes. Remember that day I asked who the other guy was when your dad introduced you guys to me" I asked
"yes"
"he was standing right beside you"
"Holly mother of God. You Re actually telling me that I was standing next to a ghost, I mean my brother that day?" Rose asked me and I nodded
"is he here now?" She asked me. I can see that she really misses him
"yes, in front of you" I jokingly said
"I love you brother" Rose said and Immediately her eyes got teary
"his not here, I was just joking"i said and she gave me the" I'm not joking look
"I'm sorry for pranking you"I immediately apologised
"we have been looking for him for months now but daddy said he is dead and I know he is not. The last time I saw him, he said he was going to meet Mr lucas, our former neighbour"
"who is Mr lucas"
"he once lived in your house before he left. Its been years he left but he kept coming there until after the week my brother went missing" Rose said
"so sad"
"anyways, I'm heading to my class and pls tell him I said I love him and I know he is not dead" Rose said and left
....
"Boom!!"Peter said from behind
"How many times have I told you that you won't scare me with that"
"You just told me now"
"Can't you just pretend I told you that before"
"I don't want to lie"
"And who said is gonna be a lie"
"Me,I'm a ghost and I'm trying so hard to make my ways so straight that I will be going to heaven when all this are over"
"And you think you can make heaven?"
"You wanna bet?"
"Never mind.i spoke with your sister today"Bella said as they both walked down the canteen hall
"And?"
"She said you went out with Mr Lucas"
"Mr Lucas?"
"Do you know him?or can you remember him?"
"Of course ,I did not lose my memory"
"Then why can't you remember what happened last before you noticed you are a ghost"
"I don't know why I can't remember the last thing that happened before I went missing"
"She said you left with Mr Lucas"
"You just told me that but I can't imagine going out with that scary guy"
"Why do you say so"
"Look ,Mr Lucas came into that neighborhood some years ago,he actually came in with his family but did not stay up to three years,he left only him.I wonder what he did with his family.Rumors has it that he killed his wife and kids"
"And you believed?"
"Why won't I,His stares are cold and can make you shiver.He don't like kids and the times he lived there,he always leave very early in the morning and comes back late at night and because of that he always have quarrels with his wife"
"You are trying to tell me that you didn't visit Mr Lucas?"
"I did not say I did not visit him but If I did then someone must have sent me to him cos I can't go to that scary guy's house on my own will"
"It's getting quite interesting,who might've sent you to him"
"How do I know"
"You are not making things easy for me,I will help you when you remember what happened that very day"
"Hey weirdo"A blonde her girl said to Bella
"I'm Bella"
"I don't fucking care,who are you talking to"
"It's none of your business bitch,if you will please excuse me I have a meal to eat"
"I told you not to talk to me in public but you won't listen now they think you are a lunatic"Peter said worriedly
"Are you really worried about me?"
"Why won't I be when you are going to help me out or do you think I'm worried because I like you?"Peter asked
"I don't want to be liked by a ghost and pls shut the fuck up and let me think "
"I can't believe you are ten"
"You need to moron so pls shut up or amma shove this spoon in your mouth"Bella threatened
"I'm off,see you after school"
....
"Being friends with you is not bad as I thought"Bella said as the walked down the road
"I will take that as a compliment"
"You should be happy that you are the first person I made as a friend"
"Not like you are a god or something"Rose said with a eye roll"
"Can you Pls stop that"
"Stop what"
"The eye roll"
"Talking as if you don't do it"
"I'm the only one who is allowed to do so,so stop it"
"Alright boss.Did you speak with my brother today?"Rose suddenly asked
"Yeah I did but forgot to tell him what you said but I promise to do so when he comes to my house"
"Tomorrow is Saturday,do you mind coming over?"
"I don't think I will"
"C'mon Bella,it will be fun and besides my other siblings will be glad to see you"
"How old is that annoying brother of yours"
"You mean Michel?"Rose asked
"Yes"
"He's eleven"
"And Mark?"
"Seven"
"Okay"
"So are you coming over?"
"I will think about it"
"Will be waiting for your reply and pls don't say no.Looks like I'm home already,Bye Bella and pls say hiee to Peter"
"Alright bye"Bella waved back while Rose entered her house
"Did I just hear you say Peter?"Mark said from behind scaring the hell out of her
"Holly molly,you scared me"
"Answer my question"
"Speak to me with respect"
"Pls?"
"Yes,Bella sees ghost"
"Lies"
"I'm serious,she knows Peter,Remember when she asked dad who the other guy was"
"Yes"
"She was referring to peter"
"I won't believe till I see with my own eyes"
"You are such a doubting Thomas.Anyways she is coming over tomorrow and I bet you will be shocked when you see the truth yourself"
"You wish?"
"I don't care if you believe or not but my pretty friend see ghosts"Bella said as she hop on the stairs not without repeating the "my pretty friend see ghost
"Who sees ghost and when did Rose starts making friends that she could boast of"Michel asked as he Came out of the kitchen
"I overheard her telling Bella to greet Peter and when I asked she said Bella sees ghost and she is currently seeing Peter"
"Who is Bella"
"The new Neighbour"
"You mean the pretty nerd?"Michel asked
"Yes"
"Unbelievable and Rose believed her nonsense?"Michel asked while Mark nodded
"I won't be surprised if she does cos that kid is capable of seeing and doing things"
"She is ten and you are eleven"Rose said as she stood beside Michel
"And when did you get here"
