November, 2001
One day I was headed to school. I saw a gang member. She asked me if I had some money. I said no! I just kept on walking to school and she just kept on following me. I turned around to tell her to go away and she was gone. I couldn't find her anywhere.
So I got to school. I talked to my friends about it and they said it was so weird. I agreed. I get out of school and I walking home there she is again only this time she was see-through. It was so strange.
I think she's a ghost. The ghost says give me some money and I will leave you alone. I don't have any money I told her, but she didn't listen. She just kept on following me. I finally yelled at her to go away, and my mom came running up the stairs to see what was wrong. I told her there was a ghost, but she said not to worry. It probably was just a dream. I knew it wasn't a dream. I just knew it. I loved my mom and everything. This time I think she's wrong. I just know it.
The next day I was swinging on the tire swing. I heard the lady say it again. Give me money. I'm sorry I said I don't have any. The ghost never appeared.
I told my mom again. She told me I needed help. So my mom got it for me. I go to it everyday now. I told Mrs. Rosenbloom which is the lady I talked to about ghosts and my problems. She says it's normal to have such an active imagination at my age. I said I'm not playing around with this it's real. I'm not joking around. If you don't believe me that's fine.
I'll believe what I want and you believe what you want. So for now on leave me alone and stay out of my life.
Wait a minute. I can't believe you until you prove it and if you do I will believe you, but until then I can't. You should know that there isn't such things as ghosts.
Well, if you hang around me you'd find out. I believe in ghosts. I don't know about you, but I do. I really saw one I really did. If you want to see one yourself then stay with me twenty-four seven. Which means 24 hours all day of the week.
Fine then I will follow you everyday. It will be cool and I can prove to you that ghosts are real. I'll prove to you that they are to real.
I tell you they aren't real and that you just have a wild imagination. No I don't they're real and you know it.
It's time go to school and on my way I always see her. Okay then off we go to school. So I'm walking with Mrs. Rosenbloom to school. I didn't see or hear the ghost. Darn if she doesn't show up. Then I will never prove it. I'm on my way home now I see her now. Give me some money she says.
Mrs. Rosenbloom said Ghost! It's okay Mrs. Rosenbloom. I've proved it to you.
Well, I proved it and the ghost never haunted me ever again.
