I heard a hard knocking on my dorm-room door. I walked towards it and looked through the tiny keyhole. It was Cody. I opened the door slowly and said ,"Hello Cody! Please come in." and smiled at him. He walked in and I shut the door slowly.
He looked at me and said ,"Umm... I have a question for you. A very serious question." I looked at him with no emotion on my face and asked ,"Yes...?" He breathed in and asked ,"Do you want to go out with me?" I looked at him with sudden vague facial expressions and said ,"Yes, I'd love to go out with you Cody." We both laughed nervously and sat down.

Thanksgiving Break
I haven't posted in such a long time... O_O I've missed it so much.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Today was the start of my Thanksgiving break. My birthday, November 26th. Thankgiving. Black Friday. All those events swirled around in my head and I yearned for them to come. This year we were just having Thanksgiving with my own family, and possibly Cody's family. I laughed to myself because I would think it would be awkward to spend Thanksgiving with another family.
Christmas was also near as well... ~_~

Pendulums
The room smelled like hospital chemicals, sterile items such as needles, bandages, and wrap, and it smelled too clean, way too clean to be exact.
I opened my eyes willingly, moving my fingers very slowly I looked over and say Cody sleeping. At least, I thought he was sleeping. It was 7:00 in the morning and they had been checking IV's all night. I was exhausted and I had lost some of my memory of things. I tried to remember when I was last night and how I got here. Cody woke up and smiled at me. I asked him ,"What happened?" He said ,"You just fainted, that's all." I closed my eyes again and said ,"Really? I thought other things has happened as well, maybe I was just a little sick though." He looked over at the door and back to my ,"Probably Harper, probably." The nurse came into the room and checked me. She said ,"Now you are free to go." I looked at her and said ,"Thank you."
Cody walked me out and outside. I felt the even cooler fall wind sweep across my face blowing my hair gently. I smelled the fresh air and looked ahead at all the wonderful colors. I smiled and whispered to myself ,'Fall is here." Cody helped me into the car and drove off into the street where the fallen street leaves whooshed behind.

Dance in the Dark
I walked into my bedroom, selected the gown I had purchased a few days ago in Anthropologie. Put it on, I thought I was beautiful. I added a pair of heels and a key necklace and a bracelet for good luck. I waited for my sister by her room, she was wearing a beautiful violet satin gown and her hair up in a sidebun. She was absolutely beautiful. When she got done, I said to her ,"Regina, you look absolutely stunning as usual." and she smiled and said ,"Thank you sis, you do too." I smiled. We then walked down the stairs and then our parents took photos of us. Our father smiled brightly and said ,"You two are so beautiful! I'm sure you'll be the prettiest girls there." We both blushed and smiled. We walked to the car to drive to the mansion.
We soon approached the mansion. It was a pearl white with very large white columns and big white stairs. Everything was the most prettiest white. We walked up the stairs and then the doors were open. I saw a wood polished floor, many Victorian-like furnishes. It was all beautiful. My heart sighed and I walked inside. Many people we're already there, most just standing and eating and drinking politely. I walked to the punch and grabbed a glass, I pours the punch in and it sparkled light pink in the chandelier light. I felt somebody tap my shoulder and I turned around. It was Cody, I smiled brightly. He said ,"Harpie, you look beautiful." and put his hand up to my check, caressing it. I looked around and he asked ,"Do you want to sit down?" I said ,"Yes, please." You see, the dance didn't start until the host announced it, so we had to wait. I glanced all around the large ball room and saw Drake with Gabrielle. My heart sank, it felt melted, yet warm inside, but also sadness strung me. Drake walked over to us and said ,"Hi Harper!" and Gabrielle chimed in and said ,"Hi you love birds!" I sneered at her and looked down and said ,"Hello Drake!"
The host then started announcing the dance. One couple started, then another, after that, another started and then everyone joined. I danced with Drake with my clutching to his neck as we danced. All of a sudden the lights went out, spirits were everywhere, haunting and they probably turned the power off. We continued to dance in the dark. Admiring the moonlight. I ignored all the spirits that were among me and kept dancing very slowly.
Something tripped me, I fell and my insides felt numb. All I could hear was spirits talking and others chanting call 911!

Dearest Cody
I sat up on my bed. Wondering and looking out at the window at the stars. In 2 weeks was my flight to Boston, Massachusetts to go to Harvard. The dance was tomorrow. I was so excited to go with Cody I talked to him all day over the phone. He was so much fun to talk to and I enjoyed it. I tried calling Drake, but he never answered so I assumed he was busy. Cody said he was ignoring me which I thought was somewhat rude.
Well, time to bed. Goodnight!

Dampened Spirits
All on my own
I don't think that I have feared so
All on my own
That song chimed throughout my head for the past few weeks, and last night the lyrics were scattered in my head.
I woke up to a text from Cody reading Umm... haha do you want to go to that dance with me? :)
Sigh, I don't know who to go with... Maybe I have to think of it on my own.
I went to my closet and put on skinny jeans that were in a dark wash, then a simple forest green shirt, over that I had a quilted black jacket. It was a cool day today. Almost as if fall had hit. I walked a few feet to Drake's house. He was sitting on the porch and said ,"Come up here!" and smiled at me. I walked up the stairs and sat next to him. Loving the nice cool breeze he asked ,"Fall is coming soon, isn't it Harper?" I laughed a little and said ,"yes, and I'm so thankful." We looked out at the street and then I asked ,'So... who are you going to the dance with?" and pretended not to care. He said ,"I actually asked Gabrielle." I said with sadness ,"Oh, I see." He said ,"I would've gone with you, but you didn't respond." I looked out hearing the birds chirp. I told him ,"I have to go and do some things." He said ,"Oh okay."
I walked back home thinking why would he go with Gabrielle?! She's so rude and hates my guts and who I am. She's beautiful and I'm not. Gahhh.
I grabbed my phone and called Cody and asked him if I could come over. He said in an instant, "yes." I smiled and got in my silver BMW. I drove a few miles to his house. Cody's house was beautiful. All cherry wood and bricked. Just gorgeous. I knocked on the door and he came and said ,"Hey Harpie!" and smiled at me. I blushed a bit and said ,"Hello Cody!" He invited me inside where he had made lemonade and offered to take my jacket off. He did and I accidentally hit his hand lightly, I felt a pulsing heat. Like nothing I had felt before, sort of weird I guess. I sat down and drank some lemonade. I then said ,"I would like to go to the dance with you." And smiled. He asked ,"Oh good! Didn't Drake ask you though?" I said ,"Yes, he did. But he decided he's going with someone else." We both were quiet and spent the next few hours talking about various subjects. It was already noon and of course my mother wanted me to be home for lunch. I told him ,"Bye Cody!" and smiled. He hugged me tightly and said ,"Bye Harpie!" I walked off and got in my car and drove away.

Oh Dear, What Can I Say?
I woke up in the car with my sister saying ,"Harp, where do you want to buy dresses?" I sat up in the car seat and looked at her and said ,'Anthropologie." She then said ,"Alrighty."
So she drove to the Anthropologie store and we walked in. I admired all the sweet outfits on mannequins just dying to be bought by woman all-over. I then walked all the way back to the dress section of the store and looked and swooned at all the lovely dresses in many prints and colors. I wanted a black dress, not exactly "simple little-black-dress" but a black dress with a little touch of sweetness. My sister walked over to the bold prints, which wasn't exactly fall-ish. We were starting school in a few weeks as well, so I wanted a nice dress. I found this beautiful black dress that was very slimming, yet fitting, called the Quintessential Shift. It was of course black, it had a giant black ribbon on the right shoulder which was the spice I wanted. I picked it up and checked the price-tag. It was $198.00 U.S. I had enough money from working and my parents gave us both money. I walked to the fitting room where a very small lady stood wearing a pencil skirt, a blouse, and a scarf. She asked ,"Would you like to try those on Miss?" I replied with ,"Yes please!." She then gave me a fitting card with the number of items I was trying on.
I walked to my desired room and changed. The song You Picked Me by A Fine Frenzy chimed on. I whispered the lyrics to myself, very quietly. Just like I would be singing. It was very beautiful. I took my clothes off and slid the dress on me. It was very fitting and just as beautiful. Almost matching my dark, almost light hair. I loved it. I took the dress off and put my other clothes back on. As soon as I was about to head out to get my sister my phone buzzed with a text message from Drake. It read Hey Harp, do you want to go to the dance with me...? I thought I really don't know who to go with... *sigh* I know I just met Cody, but I have to say, I kind of like him just as much as I like Drake. But I've liked Drake longer, I feel like I've known Cody as long. Who do you think I should go with?
I walked out trying to find my sister. She had already purchased her dress. She told me to buy mine, and so I did. I paid the lady the money and walked back to my sister. We both got in the car and drove home. The dance was in 1 week from now...

We got it good whether you like it or not
I got a letter from one of the richest couple in Seattle. We were invited to a dance at their house. Well, their house was gorgeous. All white and like a mansion with white wood floors and almost 100 years old. It was lovely. My mother and father both said yes to going. Regina and I were thrilled! I talked to Cody and Drake on the phone to see if they were going. They said yes. I asked ,"are you going with anyone?" they both said no. Maybe this was my chance to ask Drake... Or Cody... Who do you think I should ask? Anyways, goodnight everyone.

Adolescents
Gwenevere came over at about 4 pm. We're going to have one of our last sleepovers, I'll miss her when I go to college. She's trying to be an author so she'll just go to the state's university.
When we arrived we both walked into the kitchen, my mother was making us cookies and little sandwiches to eat, of course we were mature, but I still love my little kid food and so does Gwenevere. As soon as we were done eating we walked upstairs to my sister's room. She was packing, just as I was in the afternoon, and wanted to hang out with Gwen and I. We all agreed and we went to my room. We played Monopoly and told the story about what Cody and Drake. Regina said she always had knew that Drake liked me, but Drake didn't bother telling me. And Cody, well I had just met him yesterday but Regina nor Gwen knew about him. I liked them both actually, but I have been liking Drake for a longer time. I grabbed my phone and texted Drake I was wondering... What college are you going to? He responded with Harvard.. Haha wbu? I typed furiously saying same and put a :) face. I turned off my phone and it was time for dinner. My mother took us out to pizza and we ate until out bellies were going to explode. We thn drove home and got our sleeping items ready and got ready for bed. We then told stories, watched Amelie, and ate popcorn. I then fell asleep...

Dandelions in Bullet Holes
I woke up to the sweet sounds of the birds chirping. I realized I had slept on the roof, which I woke up on. I was stunned and crawled through my window back inside. Everyone was still asleep, so I thought I should make myself breakfast.
I walked down the stairs quietly, tip-toeing, and made my way past my parent's bedroom to the kitchen. The sunlight filled the room and little dust specks floated throughout the air. I walked to the cereal jars and scooped out Cheerios. Cheerios had been my favorite ever since I was young, they had a simple taste and they weren't bland like other healthy cereals were where you had to add a little bit of sugar to them. I walked to the fridge and grabbed the milk pitcher full of sweet, white milk. I then poured the milk slowly, but carefully into my bowl. As soon as the milk hit the Cheerios it made a little crackling sound. I dipped my spoon in the bowl and walked to the living room.
My phone was sitting on the armrest of the couch, I turned it on and looked at the voicemails, Cody, the boy from last night, called me and left a message saying he wanted to meet me at Starbucks. This meeting time was the same time Drake and I met up there. I guess it was fine and I should tell them I have a friend coming.
I walked to the bathroom and grabbed fresh clothes I had in there, I was too lazy to go upstairs and pick a better outfit, but I guess a light navy blue blouse with flowers above the boat neckline, and simple white shorts, and TOMS shoes, was just a fine outfit.
I made my way to the door until my sister, Regina, stopped me and said ,"What are you doing at this hour?" I looked nervous and said ,"Going to get coffee..." she tapped her foot lightly on the wood floors and said ,"Hmm... okay then, are you sure you're not seeing you know... umm... Drake? I stuffed my hands in my front pockets and said ,"I'm pretty sure I'm not." she walked off and said ,"Okay then." I then walked right out of the door making my way through the fresh, green, just-cut, grass. It smelled wonderful. I walked down the street slowly and walked to the blocks and made my way to the Starbucks shop. I said to myself please don't make the spirits come now and walked in. I saw Cody and went right to his table. He offered to order me something and I said ,"Caramel Frappechino, that's it." and smiled at him. He walked off and ordered it. I saw Drake arrive and he sat near me and I said ,"My friend Cody is joining us, is that okay?" he said ,"Haha of course." and smiled at me. My stomach had butterflies and I blushed lightly, trying not to be 100% flushed. Cody came back with my Frappechino and he had his Frappechino. He saw Drake and said ,"Hi, my name is Cody." and smirked at him. Drake said ,"Nice to meet you Cody, I'm Drake." I looked down and said ,"Aren't you going to order anything Drake?" He said ,"No, I have to go in a little bit anyways, my grandmother wants me to do a few things for her." I continued looking down and said ,"Oh okay."
We stopped talking for about 10 minutes, Cody and I kept drinking our coffee until Drake said ,"I have to go." Cody and I said ,"Bye! Nice talking to you." Cody then said after Drake had left ,"You know Harper, I don't like him very much." I said ,"Why is that?" He looked at me and said ,"He seems to macho, you know." I said ,"I've known him practically all my life and I don't think that." He smiled and said ,"I think he likes you, he likes you a lot." and winked. I was totally flushed at that statement and said ,"I never noticed..." Cody got done with his coffee and said ,"Oops, I have to go. Time for work." I said ,"Oh okay, bye Cody!" and smiled. He said ,"Bye Harpie Sharpie." He gave me a nickname... Harpie Sharpie... I like it... and smiled to myself.

Wedding Bells
We are attending a wedding in a few minutes. My cousin's wedding, Allison. She was 26, and looked exactly like me, as if she was my twin as well. Same brown, red-highlighted hair, gray eyes, and pale skin. She was truly beautiful.
I was one of her bridesmaids, helping her get ready and everything else. All of her bridesmaids, including moi, wore a long, violet, gown with small, delicate flowers attached to the neckline, a pearl choker, and white shoes with our hair up in buns with white ribbon. I'd say the outfits she chose for us to wear were amazing. Very regal and beautiful. We were just about to go out, and we all held a bouquet of flowers.
So we all stood in our places and waited until Allison and her father arrived.
The music started playing, bellowing the enchanted piano songs and Allison walked. She walked ever so gracefully at her father's arms, until she met the podium and was with her soon-to-be-husband, Matt. I'd said they were probably the most lovely couple I had ever seen. They said their vows and we were almost at tears, I wasn't though, I tried not to be.
We went to the reception a few hours later. Talked to many family members. I met this boy, he was my age. He had dark brown hair, brown eyes, freckles, and coral peach lips. We kept talking and talking. Turns out he was Matt's younger brother, named Cody. He was very kind and also... extremely handsome... probably more handsome than Drake. We talked about the wedding, about college, turns out he was going to the same college as I was, I was just thrilled at hearing that. Then we were all called to get food.
We ate king crab with delicate butter sauce, chicken, cheese, and rice, also a little bit of vegetables and some cider. I was so stuffed I didn't have any room for the cake. And, I don't typically like white cake at all.
There was this little girl, very small, petite, and fairy-like. She had dirty blonde short hair, blue eyes, and pale-white skin. She was walking around, seeming lonesome. Until I noticed that she was a ghost. I walked over to her whispering ,"Can I help you?" she got frightened and said ,"No. I'm Mary Lilly. I died quite a long time ago. I need help finding Miss Valerie." I whispered again ,"Who is Miss Valerie?" "She's my step-mother who killed me." she said and shuddered. "Really? That's terrible." I turned around checking on everything and turned back. Mary was gone.
My father, mother, Regina, and I all went home. It was pitch-black out and we were all so tired. As soon as I got out of the car I ran inside to my room. I opened the window to go and sit on the roof and enjoy the rest of the night. I then fell asleep to the quiet songs of the crickets...

All of her bridesmaids, including moi, wore a long, violet, gown with small, delicate flowers attached to the neckline, a pearl choker, and white shoes with our hair up in buns with white ribbon. I'd say the outfits she chose for us to wear were amazing. Very regal and beautiful. We were just about to go out, and we all held a bouquet of flowers.
So we all stood in our places and waited until Allison and her father arrived.
The music started playing, bellowing the enchanted piano songs and Allison walked. She walked ever so gracefully at her father's arms, until she met the podium and was with her soon-to-be-husband, Matt. I'd said they were probably the most lovely couple I had ever seen. They said their vows and we were almost at tears, I wasn't though, I tried not to be.
We went to the reception a few hours later. Talked to many family members. I met this boy, he was my age. He had dark brown hair, brown eyes, freckles, and coral peach lips. We kept talking and talking. Turns out he was Matt's younger brother, named Cody. He was very kind and also... extremely handsome... probably more handsome than Drake. We talked about the wedding, about college, turns out he was going to the same college as I was, I was just thrilled at hearing that. Then we were all called to get food.
We ate king crab with delicate butter sauce, chicken, cheese, and rice, also a little bit of vegetables and some cider. I was so stuffed I didn't have any room for the cake. And, I don't typically like white cake at all.
There was this little girl, very small, petite, and fairy-like. She had dirty blonde short hair, blue eyes, and pale-white skin. She was walking around, seeming lonesome. Until I noticed that she was a ghost. I walked over to her whispering ,"Can I help you?" she got frightened and said ,"No. I'm Mary Lilly. I died quite a long time ago. I need help finding Miss Valerie." I whispered again ,"Who is Miss Valerie?" "She's my step-mother who killed me." she said and shuddered. "Really? That's terrible." I turned around checking on everything and turned back. Mary was gone.
My father, mother, Regina, and I all went home. It was pitch-black out and we were all so tired. As soon as I got out of the car I ran inside to my room. I opened the window to go and sit on the roof and enjoy the rest of the night. I then fell asleep to the quiet songs of the crickets...

New Loneliness
The rain was pelting hard on my window. So hard I could hear it from my doorway {which was not even close to my window} and I could hear it on the roof. I've said this before, I love rain. It's the best kind of weather.
Going to Boston this year for college will be a mess, I'm thinking about the positive things though. I'm going to have tons of work, guys being jerks wanting stuff from girls {you know...}, and partying {parties I do not want to attend}. Let's just say I'm not social, at ALL. My sister, my best friend Gwenevere-- oh, you don't know who Gwenevere is?, my family, and other popular girls throughout the years who typically copied my style of clothing and how I did things.
I will tell you about Gwenevere. We met in 5th grade. We were partnered up to do a project together and I didn't really know much about her, neither did she to me. But I knew she was amorphous, just like me. Also, she was nebulous like I was. She loved books, art, and math. She was a magnificent student. She also loved Harry Potter as much as I did! As soon as we started talking and working on our project I knew we would be friends. She has golden straight blonde hair, dark chocolate brown eyes, light pale skin, and tiny lips. We've been very good friends since then.
This morning I slept in, until 10 actually. I never sleep in though. So I didn't get to see Theo today. I was still upset about what happened yesterday. So I will see him tomorrow. Anyways, I am off to a wedding. Goodbye.

Dinner by Candlelight
The night had been filled with laughter, good spirits {no, not the ghosts this time}, and the candlelight's flickering. Once in a while we had candlelight dinners, I always thought of them as the best dinners ever. My mother made us all baked chicken, she had a secret recipe and it was the best by far. She also cooked rice mixed with noodles, and boiled vegetables to eat with the rice. It was a lovely dinner indeed.
When we were all done with our dinner we all went down to the den, bringing the candles with us. Regina, being her talented self, sung us a few songs. The lyrics made me fall asleep, they were absolutely beautiful and mesmerizing. I drifted off on the couch and let the world melt.

Pitter-Pat
Tug the moon into the ground
Turn this bedroom upside down tonight
I took my faith and I breathed it out
Walked right through a crowd of flashing lights, bright lights.
Pain takes my hearts place
The sweet sweet love, or I can taste it, but still can't face it.
I woke up, stunned. Those are the words that danced throughout my brain, almost a a dream. But not really a dream. The rain was pouring on the roof, It was 1 p.m now, just after the afternoon. I wasn't hungry for lunch, my stomach was aching at the thought of Drake. I sat up and went to my laptop, reading blog comments. Reading an amazing comment from Beth Cole Oh my goodness! I think you should tell Drake what happened, and I think you should tell him about your talent, if you're his friend, he'll understand. I was thinking to myself Gee, thanks Beth. Your idea sounds lovely. I might try it. So, thank you Beth Cole.
The rain was hitting the roof with force, I loved the sound. So calm, yet hard. It hadn't rained in so long, I wanted to go run out in the rain, but I knew I would get sick.
I looked out my window and saw Theophile reading, I immediately looked away.

Fidelity
This morning, I woke up to the sound of birds chirping out my window, the song Fidelity by Regina Spektor roaring throughout my room from my alarm clock. I hear my mother cooking breakfast, my father getting ready for work and of course, Regina snoring. Those lovely sound I'd probably miss when I'll be at college and gone. Gone for you know... five...six...seven...eight...years? I have to work extremely hard, but I will enjoy it. It's like pure bliss to me.
I walked to my closet, almost dancing as the song Fidelity replayed. The lyrics we're perfect, and I mean perfect.
I never loved nobody fully
Always one foot on the ground
And I protected my heart truly
I got lost, in the sounds
I opened my closet door and took out a pair of jeans that were my favorite, a blouse with delicate ruffles and eyelet lace trimming, and brown flats with a little brown bow. I walked over to my vanity and grabbed my Tiffany & Co. key necklace that I had received for Christmas last year. It was one of the best gifts I had ever received.
I then looked out my window, seeing the neighbors. You see, there's this boy. He came here from Paris, France when he was 7. His name is Drake. Maybe you know, but I moved here from Moscow, Russia when I was 5. I always had a crush on Drake. He had blonde short hair, brown eyes, sort of muscular build. We've been in school together since he came here. Both being immigrants. I went over to his house once and a while, we were both the same age. He hadn't knew about my talent...yet. I wasn't really determined to tell him either, he considered us as friends and only friends. I considered that too, but you know, I want more. I want us to be more than friends. I don't think I have ever told him I liked him, mostly just as a friend but again, he probably doesn't like me.
I walked downstairs, my sister still asleep. I smelled savory eggs, bacon grease {delicious, I know.}, and toast of course... toasting. I started eating, scarfing food as fast as I could because I was hungry. I told my mother ,"Thank you! May I go to the Moreau's house this morning?" My mother said ,"Of course, just be sure you don't bother them." I said ,"Thank you! Oh, and goodbye father, have a wonderful day." He said ,"Goodbye, tell your sister I told her bye." He walked out the door.
I waited for him to leave, after my father left I walked down the street a few blocks to the local Starbucks. Theophile and I always meet here, practically everyday. It was in the middle of summer, too hot for coffee, but sure lovely for an ice cold Frappechino. I ordered a caramel Frappechino with extra caramel, and a lemon pound cake, my absolute favorite. I waited for about 2-3 minutes and there showed Theophile.
He was beautiful. He wore a simple muscle shirt, designer jeans, and designer black boots. The perfect outfit I thought to myself. He sat down and said in his deep voice ,"Hey." I said ,"Oh, you're here!" and smiled. He then said ,"Mind if I order?" I said ,"No, go right ahead."
A few seconds later, a spirit shows up. HARPER, I NEED YOUR HELP. I was turning my head thinking please, just go away. This is a horrible time. The spirit then trips Theophile and goes away. I ran to Theophile and helped him up. Offering to buy him another coffee. He said ,"No thanks, sorry, I have to go." I was sighing, but I said ,"Oh okay, maybe tomorrow we can meet-up?" He said ,"Sure." and walked off.
I was about the burst into tears, I ruined another moment. He probably thinks I'm a freak. I just sipped my coffee admiring the rest of the vacant Starbucks shop, and went home.

Just Like Glass
Well, the day went slowly. Very, very slowly. I spent my day with my lovely sister Regina, admiring shop windows and eating homemade ice cream in the best ice cream shops in the town.
We walked around town, shopping at various stores for back-to-school shopping. I am going to Harvard this year to study biology to be a botanist, Regina is going to the New York Film Academy to be an actress.
I've always been sort of jealous of my twin. She's beautiful, she gets compliments, she's EXTREMELY talented in singing, dancing, and acting. Well, me, I'm just a complete outcast. I'm very glad my high school year is over. None of the girls can taunt me like they did when I was younger. I'm practically relieved. I'm the sort of girl.... par say... who enjoys books, biology, writing, art, and I have a nerdy sense of fashion. I love my sister very dearly. She means the world to me. But the green monster is starting to get at me again...
I don't usually tell people this, but I have a secret talent. I'll tell you my story-- When I was a little girl, my best friend named Alice got murdered. We were very young then, probably 7 or 8 at the time. We admired older women in the most regal outfits, played with our dolls, and rode our bikes to the park and played. Well, I went to her funeral. I saw her and cried for two weeks, mourning my loss. She was the best thing that EVER happened to me. I still miss her to this day. I was in class, day-dreaming the day away as usual, I saw her, near to my desk saying in her most beautiful little voice ,"Hello Harper." I gasped and said ,"Oh my gosh! Hello Alice!" Students then turned to me asking who I was talking to, I said ,"Nobody, sorry." All of the children burst into laughter as if I was crazy. I then turned around and Alice left.
I ran out of the room crying and ran back home to my mother and father. I came back the next day in terror, everyone thought I was a crazy girl. I just wanted to leave the school.
I have told you my story, so basically. I can see spirits, actual ghosts. They come to me for help, wanting to go to the light. I've helped many spirits, putting them in the light. I plan to help more.
So, you may be wondering ,"Why is your blog called Nebulous, Amorphous, Harper?" Well, nebulous means confused, amorphous means without definite shape, and or character. I hope you understand.
