I wandered down the hallway looking for something to do. There was literally nothing! The dark halls had lost their creepy and lonely feeling and nothing was catching my attention. I had already messed with the guitar teacher's soundboard for his amp. I loved watching how frustrated he got when nothing was going right. I had done everything I could and I was still bored. Heck, I had even possessed a computer and scared the custodian; this one didn't have a heart attack so it wasn't that much fun.

Sighing I slumped against the wall and stared at my feet, or lack of feet, there was nothing but air there. Before I knew it I was inside a classroom…on the other side of the school. I made an exasperated sound and cursed my ability to move through walls. That's when I heard the snoring.

Spinning around I saw a boy, a very large and stupid looking one at that, still sleeping at his desk! I floated my way over to him and tried to bang on the desk. My hand went straight through of course. I huffed and poked him in the shoulder. He shivered but kept sleeping. Now I was getting impatient, I full on shoved him out of the chair, or attempted to at least.

I sat up slightly upset. Wait, I sat up? I can't sit. The chair was hard but surprisingly comfortable. Wait…I can feel things? I whipped my head around and I felt air whip around my head and actually spoke. I said, "Since when could I feel things? I'm a ghost since when did this happen?" My voice was deep and very male sounding, "but I'm a girl!" I said out loud again. I covered my mouth with my hands and gasped. "Oh, snap" I mumbled.

I officially had stolen someone's body. And it's a guy's body! I stood up from the desk, getting stuck for a second, and ran to the dark window. I couldn't really see "my" face but I did see a little white thing hanging out "my" ear. Lifting "my" fingers up to it I grabbed onto it. It felt strange, like when I pinched myself. Ignoring the pinching feeling I pulled the white thing a little more. The more I pulled the longer it got and the thicker whatever it was as well. It was officially starting to hurt but I ignored it. My vision started too hazy and I felt myself start to go numb but I continued pulling.

I felt the weight of the body go down and I was standing again as a ghost in the human world. I sighed and turned, running into something very solid. Looking up it was Angelico, the angel who was always trying to get me to go to the other side.

"Did you posses a person?" Angelico asked, in his deep voice that would have made me melt…if I wasn't as used to it as I was now.

"Maybe…" I asked, drawing out the word. I smiled innocently up at him, "It was a complete accident! The jerk was asleep at his desk and I tried to shove him out of the chair and yeah…" I finished lamely.

Angelico sighed and walked over to the body. Leaning down he picked up the boy and set him back in the chair. Then he put his hand to the kid's head and said something in Angelic,

most would mistake it for Latin but I knew better. What happened next was surprising, the boy woke up in a daze, and soon he stood up and walked out the door.

"He won't get in trouble in case you were wondering. He had detention and couldn't sleep in the room they designated for it." Angelico said turning to face me, "Now we have to talk about why you possessed him." He glared at me while he waited for my explanation.

I felt a twinge of pain from his gaze and spoke the outright truth, "I was bored and found him. I didn't really mean to posses him it just sort of happened. I tried to shove him and I sat up in his body! I really didn't mean to do it!" the pain became worse as the glare became harder.

"You did it on accident?" He said angrily. I hoped he wasn't as mad as he seemed to be, "You bloody almost killed him on accident?" Oh yeah, definitely pissed.

"Yes." I said quietly. Obviously I had done something I wasn't supposed to do so I apologized for it but that seemed to make him madder.

"Do you not comp- understand what you nearly did?" I shook my head, "You almost killed him!"

My eyes widened and the realization. I had almost ended a life much too soon, exactly like how mine had ended. I started to dry sob but Angelico didn't make a move to comfort me, which is what I needed at the moment. The thought of taking someone's life before it had a chance to really even start made me cry more.

"Don't cry Penny!" A female voice said. I felt arms wrap around me and I hugged the female body back. "It will all turn out alright. The boy is alive and you didn't take his life, it was all an accident." I recognized the voice as Samantha. She was another angel but was more a mother than anything else. My tears started to end until I just sniffled now and then.

"You shouldn't be babying her like that Samantha." Angelico said and I glared at him under Samantha's arm. "She needs to learn to be the adult she is. Hell she's at least 20-something now."

"Learn to be kinder Angelico. She doesn't even get a chance to age every year so shut up. How would you feel if you saw all the other ghosts materialize on Halloween and know your chance wouldn't come until your body dies?" She was talking about my situation of course. I sniffled and she petted my head, "Poor baby."

Eventually I was able to pull out from under her arm and said, "You know I'm only 15. You can't blame me Angelico. And for your information I feel terrible about stealing somebody's body at least I was able to get out!"

"I wouldn't feel a thing because I'm not a ghost and I never was one." Angelico said, ignoring me, "And neither were you Samantha so do not fei-fake sym-pity. We both made the

right choice by crossing over when our bodies died." He looked at me now and the intensity of his gaze made me flinch, "You really should cross over Penny, where you're going would be much better than this Hell."

Samantha gasped, "You know which side she's going on?" She took a few short steps, robes billowing from the movement, and grabbed onto his arm, "Oh please tell me, dear Angelico, tell me! I much wish to know, as so I can break ties with her now or keep her close! Please!"

"I wish I could dear Samantha, I wish I could, but alas I do not know. I merely guessed that she would be an Angel with us. But it's only hopes and wishing, nothing set in stone."

"Its torture, it would be pure and simple torture if she were to become a demon! Such a small, pretty, and innocent girl, thrust into a world of hatred and cruelty, it would not be right. Would not be right at all. But if she were an Angel! Oh, think of the new stars that would come about from her presence! All the beautiful new babies sharing her soul, those would be lucky ones they would, they would be small and pretty and innocent, just like her! Just like Penny!" As she spoke she threw her arms and Angelico's neck and smiled prettily.

"Wow this Penny girl must be something." I said sarcastically, reminding the two angels I was in the room.

"You forgot that the babies would have her dem-atti-would have her spunk." Angelico said.

"You know Angelico, I'm not stupid, I can understand big words like demeanor and attitude and feign and sympathy." I muttered impatiently, the urge to float was getting harder to control, something was telling me to go to the auditorium but I couldn't place why.

"You have no reason to be cranky Penelope you don't have your min-period anymore." Angelico said sounding irate.

I glared at him I hated it when they called me Penelope, "Well, while you two lovebirds are all mushy and lovey-dovey and I'm going to go float around. Excuse me." With that I walked, err…floated, out of the room

This is supposed to be a time skip but I can't find the "line break" button so this will have to do

I hid up in the rafters of the auditorium, hoping the angels wouldn't find me; they didn't like me being around people. But I could never help myself, especially around play time. I hadn't had a very long life before she took over my body. I sighed at the sad memory, one of my only memories, and watched as the boys and girls of the Drama Club dance out a scene. Samantha said that before I died I loved acting in musicals, or dancing more after.

Suddenly, the light rigging seemed to call to me. I made myself mostly invisible, except for the small outlining of my body, and floated around the hall then up into the rigging. I glided my hands threw the lights, not making a shadow. I felt the need to drift up, so I did. My head passed through one of the top lights and cast a shadow, alerting the lighting people that there was something wrong. I hovered there waiting for one of them to come and fix it, turning visible, the invisible, creating a flicker.

About two hours later, after rehearsals had finished and a bodily person was scarce, I spotted someone climbing threw the rigging. I smiled to myself and flickered more frequently. I soon lost sight of them and became fully visible "I could have sworn he was right over there…" I said to myself. That's when I heard a scream. I whipped around and grabbed the boy's hand, saving him from falling about three stories.

The fact I was holding something solid didn't occur until to me until I gentle lowered the boy to the ground, well, it was sort of gentle he landed with a thud on his butt about a foot off the ground. Before he saw me (again) I made myself intangible.

He was white as a sheet, like he had seen a ghost or something, "W-whose there?" He stammered, "I-I know karate, so d-don't think I can't whoop your butt!" He jumped up onto his skinny little legs, "c-come out where ever you are you stupid….thing!"

'Thing? Did he just call me a thing?' I thought angrily to me, "That's really nice to call somebody who just saved your life!" I said aloud, and then clamped my hands over my mouth. Crap. I floated as fast as I could away from him before he could realize where the voice came from. At least I tried to. He shot off like a rocket in my direction in addition to fazing through me; he screamed bloody murder towards the exit.

Finally I realized I could fly and zipped upwards away from the whole thing but stopped at the ceiling. I couldn't go outside in the daylight; I would disintegrate slowly like burning, so I waited up there until I couldn't hear him scream.
