Ghostwritten
Why did she have to pass me that note? Now I’m out here all alone, in the dark, waiting. I’m so tired. Would it be okay if I just fell asleep?
*
There he is! Is he sleeping? Why would he invite me out to the clearing in the woods to watch him take a nap in the dirt? I was so excited when I found that message in my locker. He must’ve asked one of the other girls to do it since our schools are on opposite sides of this small forest. He went through all that effort for me. And to think I thought boarding school would suck...
*
I’m shaken awake. “Sorry!” I laugh, “I didn’t mean to fall asleep.” I sit up and try and wipe as many leaves and as much dirt as possible off of my sweatpants.
*
He looks so cute with his sleepy eyes and messy hair! I want to kiss him so badly it hurts. His lips must feel so soft...
*
“Why did you ask to meet up so late anyway?” I ask.
“What do you mean?” she asks, furrowing her brows in that adorable way.
“We could’ve met up during lunch. Snuck off and-“
“But, you’re the one that sent me the note!” she points out. And then we both realise.

My plan worked! I knew those two would never build up the courage to contact each other, so I had to step in. Play Cupid. I love love, and these two are so clearly meant to be together. Who says ghosts can’t interfere with the living?
