Chapter 16

It was difficult to concentrate on homework as I waited for dinner and then the meeting with Rose after that. I kept thinking about all the weird things people had said to me today. Had there been something in the water? People were coming out all over the place trying to give me advice or tell me random cryptic things that did very little to help me with my current problems.

Even though I knew Grandma had lots of information to give me and would probably help clear up confusion about several things, I was afraid she’d find out what I was planning to do that evening and again try to get me to talk to the ghost. It was the same reason I was avoiding Brandon. I had made up my mind about the banishment, and I wasn’t going to listen to anything else. Afterwards, when this whole teacher ghost was put behind me, and I’d learned more about how to get rid of the ghosts, I could sit down and have a long talk with Grandma about my powers and how to avoid seeming so crazy in public or having ghosts scream at me to fix all their problems.

At about five-thirty, my mom texted our family’s group text that she was working late that day with a photoshoot and that we were on our own for dinner. That was fine with me. I was sick of having tense and uncomfortable family dinners. Also, I could easily avoid Trina so she didn’t sit there like a watchdog and make sure I was eating.

My brain wouldn’t function. The day had been too weird, and I could admit, even if to no one else, that I was nervous for what was coming next.

Dad was shuffling around in the kitchen when I left my room. I wasn’t sure what I needed to bring to a ghost banishment and assumed that Rose would take care of everything, so I was just wearing jeans and a t-shirt with my phone in my pocket and a light jacket.

“I should order out for pizza,” Dad muttered as I peeked into the kitchen.

“Don’t worry about getting some for me. I already ate,” I said with a chipper smile. “Is Mom home yet? She might enjoy having hot food waiting for her.”

Dad stroked his goatee for a moment. “She probably would. Are you going somewhere?”

Grandma fazed through the wall as we were talking. She put her hands on her hips and assessed me the way only grandmas could—with just the right amount of judgment.

“I’m going to hang out with some friends for a bit. Andrea needs help with her math homework, again.” I added some nice details and an eye roll so my lie sounded legit.

“It’s a good thing she has you to help
