Chapter 8

Ghost Hunting

It was TAB, and Rachel and Mary were hunkered down at a table in the cafeteria. This was an unusual locale for them. They didn’t go near the caf, unless it was absolutely necessary. It was the hub for all the cliques and wannabes. Girls preened and strutted while guys leaned against the walls and tried to look cool. Being there gave Mary a headache, but the two girls were on a mission. They were going to find Cy. Well, Rachel was determined to find him. Mary was pretending to look. She still wasn’t sure about telling him what they’d found out.

She really did want him to like her again, but telling him his house was haunted wasn’t the way to do it. It was funny how saving a boy from danger didn’t guarantee him liking the girl. It always worked for the guy in the fairytales. The damsel always married the hero, and they lived happily ever after. Fairytales were sexist, and the real world was unfair.

Rachel grabbed Mary’s arm, jerking her out of her gloomy thoughts. “There’s Cy,” she whispered and pointed. Mary followed her finger.

She groaned when she spotted him. “He’s with Vicky.”

“So? Go talk to him.”

“But Vicky’s with him."

“Are you a coward?”

She slouched down further and crossed her arms. “No, but I’m not a glutton for punishment either.”

“Fine, I’ll handle it,” Rachel said and got up. Mary tried to pull her back, but Rachel shook her hand off and marched across the lunchroom. The din in the cafeteria drowned out any chance of hearing what was said, but Mary could read the body language loud and clear. Vicky tried to block Cy from Rachel, but Rachel was persistent. She reached around Vicky and tugged his shirt. He stepped away from Vicky reluctantly to let her speak to him. He wasn’t happy to see her, but he listened. His eyes flicked once to Mary. He was scowling. Mary turned away in alarm. When she looked again, Rachel was coming back.

“He’ll see us at lunch.”
