I GET TO school and find Kerry sitting alone on the low brick bench in front of the school flagpole. The first thing I do is spill my guts about the dream.

She shakes her head. “And I thought mine were strange. Yours is award-winning.”

“No kidding. It was bad enough having the dream, but now I feel guilty.”

“Why should you feel guilty?”

“Because when I stepped back into my bedroom this morning and didn’t see her, I was relieved.” Tears fill my eyes. “I didn’t want to see her, Kerry.”

“I’m sure your mum would understand. Does any of that dream make sense to you?”

I throw up my hands. “No, and I’ve gone over it a thousand times. She said she wanted me to see. See what, a box full of water? I don’t understand. Why did she put me through that? She died from a car crash, not drowning.”

Kerry puts her arm around my shoulder and gives me a shake. “Dreams are weird. They don’t always have to mean something.” She dips her head to look me in the eye. “But if your mum was sending you a message . . .”

“What? To never go swimming? Or are you talking about the third floor again? Don’t even go there, Kerry.” Since Frankie the Stuffed Panda is sitting back home on my bed, I hug my backpack. “Maybe I should just be happy I got to see her again. The dream really was nice . . . at least the first part.”

“In the dream, your mom gave you a key. Did it look like the one we found down in the basement?”

Maybe it did, but the last thing I need is Kerry knowing. I shrug.

“That’s the second key a ghost has given you.” A smile touches her lips. “You’ve got to admit that’s a bizarre coincidence.”

“Are you using my dream as an excuse to ignore my father’s orders? Why would my mom want me to go up there anyway? From what Dad says, the third floor’s been locked up tight for like fifty years. I doubt if Mom ever went up there herself.”

“That might be true, but as a ghost, she may know something that she didn’t know when she was alive. Have you ever had a dream anywhere near as odd as this one?”

“No, and I’venever ever dreamed about my mom before.” My shoulders sag. “I’m confused. If you’re right, my mom wants me to do something that my dad doesn’t want me to do.”

“I noticed that too, and—”

The annoyingly shrill buzz of the school bell cuts through the air.

She jumps up. “Oh, well, time for class. And don’t worry. We’ll sort things out.”

“Oh, sure. As long as sorting things out means using that key.” I stand, banging my shoulder into her on purpose.

She wobbles a few sideways steps and smiles. “Well, whatever you do, just make sure I’m there with you.”
