Chapter Thirteen

I got into the groove of the school week and happily nothing strange or supernatural happened. The only bad thing that didn’t happen that I wanted to was that I still hadn’t heard from Shane. Every time I went into a classroom I was careful to open up a notebook to a blank page and leave it lying face up on my desk so Shane would have a way to communicate with me, but nothing happened all week. He never showed up in any of my classrooms.

Mason called me a couple times after school during the week and we firmed up plans for our date. I would meet him there with Sixx and the gang, traveling in The Gator and he would drive me home after. As we got closer to the weekend, I got more and more excited. But, I also became concerned as more time went by and I hadn’t heard from Shane. I began to think maybe I would never hear from him again.

Finally, Thursday morning I walked into my homeroom class earlier than anyone else and I spotted him, sitting at the same desk as the first time I met him. I practically ran into the room.

“Where have you been?”

“Ah, I figured you were a little busy. I wanted to give you some room.”

The heat of a blush crawled up my neck and invaded my cheeks. Did he know about Mason? Was he stepping aside in some kind of gentlemanly fashion? Didn’t he know how much more attractive that made him? The boys in my life were making me absolutely crazy.

“Well, don’t—you’ll excuse the expression—disappear like that again.” I smirked and Shane groaned. “No, for real. I thought maybe you’d given up on me and taken a powder.”

“Not a chance, Juice. Sorry, but you’re kind of stuck with me. At least until we find a new home for all this.” He waved his hands up and down his ghostly form.

“I actually have some news on that front.” I explained about the upcoming party and the opportunity it afforded for body-shopping. I also told him that we’d all be there, so it would allow us to spread out and really cover the place.

“I’m telling you, Shane, with all four of us scoping the place out, if there is a body there that would be a good match for you, we’ll find it.”

“That sounds great, Juice.”

“HEY, JUICY LUCY!” The voice was deafening and could only belong to one person. I looked up and sure enough, Brian Yates came barreling down the aisle. He crashed to a stop just short of where Shane still sat, looking up at him with an amused expression. I, on the other hand, was not amused. Not even a little.

“What is it, Brian?” I asked, in a bored voice.

“Heard you were going to the big party in Oakwood this weekend.” He leaned his butt on the desk Shane sat on and I tried to stifle a laugh when Shane pantomimed shoving him off.

“How’d you hear that?”

“Went to football camp with a guy who said his friend asked you out.
