CHAPTER SIX
The New Girl, Part 2
I woke up on the wrong side of bed the next day thanks to yesterday’s weirdness, and I was still feeling like an extra on the Walking Dead by the time I parked my car in the parking lot of the place that filled me full of anxious vibes.
Yep, you guessed it. Today was D-day, and first day as a senior at Forest Hills High.
I glanced over at the rearview mirror to stare at my tired-looking face. “It’ll be okay, Jess. You’ll make a ton of friends, breeze through AP classes, and not make a fool of yourself on your first day in a new school.”
No, I didn’t believe anything I’d just said, but it cost me nothing to try to feel upbeat about it all.&nb

CHAPTER EIGHT Joyride, Part 2 Ollie handed me the flowers while he took the time to wipe away the fallen leaves around Ellie’s gravestone. The careful and respectful way he cleaned around her told me she must have been important to him. “Was Ellie your girlfriend?” I asked. “She’d tell you she doesn’t date jocks,” Ollie chuckled, although the laughter never reached his eyes, “right before laughing in your face for thinking she’d ever hook up with me.” I gave Ollie a skeptical look. “So she wasn’t your girlfriend then?”

CHAPTER NINE Nancy Drew, Part 1 People say Forest Hills memorial is so old even the ghosts don’t remember who they are… I’d be cautious when visiting the place though. Some stories claim that a daytime visit to the cemetery might mean you get a visitor at night too. #ForestHills #Spooksville — Tweet from Raven_Eye. The following message was read from the email of Jonathan Day and later added into the live journal of Jessica Day; Jono, It’s happening again… but it’s worse now because there’s no one else in the know. The rest of our goon squad has moved away, and the few of us who are left have begun to forget, or at least they’re trying to… Ellen did. It’s why she couldn’t protect her girls from it. Sh

CHAPTER TEN Nancy Drew, Part 2 “Are you serious?” Emma asked as she leaned over her seat to whisper in my ear. “You saw the red fireflies?” “Y-yeah,” I replied. I was surprised by how serious Emma seemed to get the more she listened to last night’s weird episode. “Do you know what they are?” I asked. I’m pretty sure I held my breath while waiting for her to reply. Emma’s face turned contemplative just before she leaned back in her chair and said, “No, first time I’ve ever heard about them.” She was grinning back at me, and I nearly threw my book at her. “Seriously?” I frowned. “Well, you were being so serious I didn’t want to kill the mood,” she admitted. Now I really had my his

CHAPTER ELEVEN Ghost Story, Part 1 Rule number one of Forest Hills; don’t ask questions… you’ll never like the answers. Rule number two; when you do learn the truth, do your absolute best to look like you don’t know… that’ll keep you alive. #surviveFH #Spooksville — Tweet from Raven_Eye. I’m not entirely sure why I let Emma drag me into the school library during lunch. I’m also not sure why I didn’t just shut her crazy theory down immediately after she’d said it. “Emma…” I sighed. “Haven’t you heard of the internet?” “The internet’s overrated,” she replied. Emma had dropped me off at a table at the far end of the library before she went hunting off for the thing she wanted to show me. She came back wi

CHAPTER TWELVE Ghost Story, Part 2 A long, eerie silence arrived at the end of Emma’s shocking reveal, one where my brain attempted to process her words — and just couldn’t. I’m a California-bred teenager, and we’re naturally inclined to be skeptics over almost anything. But, despite the fact that I couldn’t bring myself to fully believe her, there was this nagging part of me, a teensy bitsy part, that couldn’t just refute her claim either. I mean, I’d been visited by freaking red fireflies with large girl shadows hovering behind them so who was I to say that a dead girl didn’t actually appear outside Emma’s front door. It was Emma who broke the

I mean, I was shaking in my sandals, but he just looked calm. And then this crazy, reckless, gorgeous boy actually moved between me and the bear in what I guessed was him trying to protect me.It was exactly the same thing he did with the wolf, and I had to wonder what was up with Ollie and wild animals? And

CHAPTER FOURTEEN Ollie's Big Secret, Part 2 I’m not sure how long I lay there crying, but it was a while before I finally wiped the tears from my eyes. And when I finally found the strength to sit, I discovered that the bear was gone. Tracks of overturned dirt and grass set a straight path from where the bear had lain stretched out to the safety of the trees to our right. “It must have escaped,” I guessed, my voice hoarse. As for Ollie, well, I could see his jeans behind the clearing’s lone tree. He’d gone barefoot, and I wasn’t sure, but it did seem like the hairs that had covered the skin of his foot were gone now. Still, that wasn’t e
