Sabrina perked up. "You mean a ghost?" She spent a lot of time at the cemetery, writing in her journal. Not only was she the first to admit she was obsessed with death, she was very interested in matters arising from it, such as ghosts. Were there other planes of existence? Did people go there? Were ghosts around them?
Hours at gravesites hadn't yielded a lot of answers. She looked at Mikey suspiciously. "You aren't yanking my chain, are you?"
"No," Mikey said, honestly. This girl could tell when he was lying. He'd better tell as much truth as he could without telling her the truth. "Look...I saw something..."
"I guess that 'Aww Shucks' girl next door thing is just an act," Sabrina said.
Mikey thought about that. He wasn't sure what Melony was really like. But he guessed she wouldn't like the way she said it. He didn't either. "You dress like something from a horror movie and you're making fun of me?" He said, feeling oddly confident. She wouldn't be beating him up, she'd be beating up Melony. It somehow made him feel brave.
Sabrina laughed. "You're all right," she declared. Sabrina couldn't stand people who made fun of her. But she didn't feel made fun of by this girl. Sabrina knew she wasn't like other people, and that suited her just fine.
