wished he would say something to her. He hadn't said anything to her since they brought Lucas into the house, and she thought it had something to do with her.
But then Kyle looked at her and smiled one of his weak smiles, telling Mia that he was just as flabbergasted as she was.
The night that Lucas was brought into the house, Mia had a nightmare when she went to bed. She had dreamed that Lucas was being possessed by a creature. The creature had looked almost devilish and Mia had screamed for him to stop, but he just laughed at her and swung his clawed hand at her and sliced her neck open. Mia had woken up drenched in sweat and a long, red scratch on her neck.
"Kyle?" Mia whispered as they turned the corner of their street.
Kyle looked at her. "Hmm?"
"What do you think happened?" She asked, not knowing what else to say to him.
He shrugged. Obviously he didn't want to talk about it. She sighed and looked up at the school. This would be the second day that she's been at the school, and so far, she hadn't had a chance to talk to Zeth, who seemed to avoid her for some unknown reason.
"Mia?" Kyle asked, not looking up from the ground.
"Yes?" Mia asked, still staring at the school.
"Do you think that he could be possessed?" Kyle asked after another minute or so.
Mia shrugged. It could be anything for all they knew. "I don't know, Kyle. Lets just not talk about this until we get home, okay?"
Kyle nodded and they entered the school and they went their seperate ways to their classes before the bell rang.
Mia already had her classes memorized, so she didn't need to look at her schedule. She entered her science class, not wanting to even have to work her brain and her teacher, Mr. Bee was sitting at his desk, grading the test Mia didn't have to take on her first day of school. She sat down at the desk she had sat at on her first day of school and shuffled through her backpack to find her notebook and pencil.
"Good morning, Miss Mia," Mr. Bee said, smiling at her. She didn't smile back.
"Morning," she said, not looking up from her notebook.
"Having a bad morning?" Mr. Bee asked, standing. He walked over to the chalk board and began to write the next assignment on the board before everyone else came to class.
"Sort of. I think I woke up on the wrong side of the bed," Mia said, holding back some tears she didn't even want to cry out.
Mr. Bee turned around and frowned. "Are you the family living in the old Sands house?"
Mia looked up and nodded. "Yes, why?"
Mr. Bee walked over to her desk and frowned. "The last family that lived in there left the second day they moved in because their son had committed suicide. That was five years ago. I thought you should know that no one else knows this because the family wanted it to be kept a secret and that you can come and talk to me anytime you want to. I know how it can be. I've been in that house before. Its scary and I believe what other peope say about it being haunted and everything."
Mia nodded. "How did you know about the family? Even I didn't know about it."
Mr. Bee sighed. "I used to live right next to the house and moved out once I saw what happened to the boy. I hope that your doing okay there. Have you seen the cemetery out back?"
Mia nodded again, an image flashing before her eyes of Lucas falling the the ground, bleeding.
"Mr. Bee? Do you know a boy named Lucas? I don't know his last name, but he's about my age."
Mr. Bee wrinkled his eyesbrows, thinking. "I don't think so, but if I remember, I'll let you know."
He walked back to the board to finish writing the assignment and Mia looked down at her paper. She had broken her pencil.
She stood and looked around for a pencil sharpener, but couldn't find one, so she took a pen out of her backpack and waited for the bell to ring.


Later, during lunch


Mia walked to the lunch line, even though she wasn't hungry. She sighed for the millionth time and looked around for Kyle, who was sitting down at a table with the nerds.
"Next!" the lunch lady called and Mia grabbed a tray and stood in front of the lunch lady. "What can I get you?"
Mia looked at the options and frowned. There--like always--wasn't anything good to eat. "Uh, just give me the salad. Some OJ too, please."
"Alright," the lunch lady said and handed Mia the salad and the OJ. "here you go. Hey, are you the one that lives in that haunted house?"
Mia groaned. She'd heard that question so many times today from students and teachers she didn't have. "Yes."
She walked to the paying area and stopped in front of the man who was waiting impatiantly for her to hand him the money she owed. She felt in her pockets, but couldn't find her ten dollars, so she checked her jacket pocket.
"Hold on just a second. Its here somewhere," Mia said to the man.
"Hey, I got it," said a voice from behind her. She turned around to see Zeth standing next to her. She sighed with relief.
"Thanks. I couldn't find my money," Mia said while Zeth handed the man the money. "I'll pay you back when I can find my money."
Zeth smiled at her. "No need. I have enough that I can stomp on and burn and it wouldn't do anything to the money."
Zeth put a hand on the small of her back and they walked to a table Zeth was leading her to and she sat down at a table for two. Mia blushed, thinking of the first time she and Jake went out for lunch and sat down at a table for two.
Zeth sat down in front of her. "So, how do you like the school so far?"
Mia shrugged, taking a bite of her salad. "I don't know, people keep asking if I'm the one who lives in the haunted house."
"I bet you get tired of that," Zeth said, smiling. He was staring at her in a strange way.
Mia blushed again and looked down at her salad. She suddenly wasn't hungry anymore. She sat her fork down and looked at Zeth, who hadn't moved his eyes from her since she last looked at him.
"Zeth, why are you staring at me like that?" Mia asked, looking around to see if anyone else was like that.
Zeth shrugged. "I think your interesting."
"What do you mean?" Mia asked, feeling her cheeks turn a deep red.
"Remember when we first met? You just came up to me like we've known each other since forever. No one likes to talk to me but my closest friends. No girl for that matter has talked to me."
Mia looked down at her plate. "Why?"
"I don't know. Maybe they think I look weird or something. Who cares anyways? I don't care how many friends I have or not. I just think it was strange for you to come up to me like you did."
Mia thought about what he said for a minute, realizing that he was right. It felt like she's known him all her life. "Well, I think your interesting too."
"Do you now?" Zeth asked, a little shocked. "Why?"
"I don't know, maybe its because you helped a girl pick herself off the ground after he told her a story about the house she lived in and took me home and didn't laugh at me."
Zeth stared at her. "I would never laugh at you. Mia, would you like to go to the lake with me after school?"
Mia looked up at him and blushed. Was he asking me out on a date?
"You mean like a date?" Mia asked, her heart racing. She couldn't remember her heart beating this much when Jake first asked her out.
"If you calll it that. You might want to bring a swimming suit too," Zeth said, smiling at her. "I already asked Kyle to come. He's pretty cool."
Mia didn't know Zeth had been talking to her brother. "You talk to Kyle?"
"Sure, no one else will, though. I think he's cool and I think it would be fun to go to the lake together."
Mia blushed, thinking of herself being in a swimming suit in front of Zeth. It seemed so different then it had been with Jake. She's been in one in front of Jake, and it felt so uncomfortable.
"Okay, what are we going to do at the lake?" Mia asked.
"I was thinking I could show you something."
Mia blushed again. What was with her blushing so much in front of him? "Like what?"
"Something. You can stop blushing now, you know, even though I do like to see the color of your cheeks like that. It brings out your eyes."
Mia blushed even harder and looked down at her untouched salad.
"They do?" Mia asked.
Zeth nodded. "They do. I like your eyes color anyways. They remind me of the ocean."
Mia smiled at him. Not even Jake had said that to her before. "Really? I've never been to the ocean beach before. I bet its beautiful there."
Zet smiled back. "Well, I wouldn't say it unless it isn't true."
Suddenly, the phone Mia had taken from her dad so that he could call anytime that he wanted to started to vibrate and she took it out of her pocket.
"Sorry, Zeth. Hold on, my phone is ringing." She opened the phone and held it to her ear. "Hello?"
"Mia?" a familiar voice said from the other line.
"Lucas?" Mia asked, standing up from her chair so fast, it fell to the floor with a clatter, making everyone around her look to see what had happened. "Your awake! Where are you?"
"Still at your house. How did I get in your bed?" Lucas asked.
"I'll explain it to you when I get there. Kyle and I will be there in a minute."
"Okay, bye." The phone clicked and Mia shut hers.
"Zeth, my friend just woke up from a coma and I have to go see him. Do you want to come?" Mia asked, already grabbing her bag.
Zeth stood and nodded. "Lets get your brother."
"Okay," Mia said and looked around for Kyle, who was still sitting with the nerds. "Kyle!"
Kyle turned to look to where she yelled his name and the look on her face told him that he was awake.
He stood up from his seat and jogged over to her. "Is he awake?"
"He called me on dad's cell phone. I told him that we would be over in a few minutes and Zeth is coming with us."
Kyle nodded towards Zeth, who returned it and they began to jog to the front door, where they were stopped by a teacher Mia didn't know.
"What do you three think your doing?" the teacher asked, frowning at them.
Mia groaned. "Uh, we really need to get by so that I can go home." She didn't know what else to say to her.
"If you are to leave the school, you have to go to the office and with a parent. And you must sign out," the teacher said, staring the three down.
"well, we don't have time for that," Kyle said and shoved the teacher out of the way. Mia, Kyle and Zeth ran
