Your pov

I'm dead. I'm a ghost. I live in a small house, no one ever comes by. It was nice having the place to myself, and then Ryan came around. He moved in a few weeks ago, I haven't revealed myself to him but I have tried to scare him away. My many attempts have so far failed, drastically. Today, I shall knock over a book shelf.

Ryan walked out of the bedroom and began his morning routine of eating breakfast and getting ready for the day. I made my way to the bookshelf in the living room. This has got to get him outta my house!

I squeezed my hands behind it and pushed, it fell with a loud crash.

"What the fuck!?" Ryan ran in. He looked very confused, I just stood there with a wide smirk on my face. Yeah I just did that, now you have to leave!

He pushed the book shelf back up with a concerned look on his face. Ryan walked away and proceeded to get ready, mumbling to himself. I think I got him boys...

I walked away from him, satisfied with my work. I heard Ryan leave and that was my cue to reveal myself and do whatever I wanted. I sat on the couch and watched mindless sitcoms for a few hours. I am so bored...

I turned off the tv and wandered into the bedroom. I took a seat on Ryan's bed and eyed the guitar in the corner. I wonder if I can still play...

I picked up the instrument and stood in the middle of the bedroom, back towards the door. I began to strum the strings and play some chords. Okay, looks like I still got it...

"One two three,

I've been ghosting
I've been ghosting along
Ghost in your house
Ghost in your arms
When you're tossing
When you turn in your sleep
It's because I'm ghosting your sleep

And this is why I have decided
To pull these old white sheets from my head
I'll leave them folded neat and tidy
So that you'll know I'm out of hiding..."

As I finished the song, then heard a thud behind me. I whipped around to see Ryan, standing in the door way with wide eyes.

"Woah..." I immediately dropped the guitar and disappeared. He ran into the room, "Wait! Who are you?" I didn't answer, "Hello?" He picked up his bag that had caused the thud and put it away, puzzled.

I can't believe he saw me! Now he's gonna tell everyone he knows and my house will become a tourist attraction! What have I done!?

I ran out of the room and into the coat closet to hide. I hid there until the next morning. I walked through the door and saw Ryan staring at the book shelf from yesterday's scare attempt.

"It had to have been them." He said to himself. He looked up and around the room, "Hello? Is anybody there? It's okay, I won't hurt you! I promise," I did nothing, "I know you're there!"

He sighed and began his morning routine once again. As he ate I could tell he was deep in thought. I wonder what's going on in that brain of his...

I stepped closer, accidentally making the wood floor creak causing Ryan to flinch.

"Hello?" Stay strong, don't say anything...

"I'm not going to hurt you. Whoever you are." He finished eating and proceeded to get dressed along with everything else. Wait isn't it Saturday? Since when does he go out on Saturdays? What is he up to?

"Okay, I'll be home soon!" He waved at nothing and closed the front door. He can't be getting food, he did that just two days ago! What could he be up to? I just know he's up to something...

I waited about an hour to reveal myself, even then I kept my eyes locked on the front door as some random rom-com played on the tv.

As soon as I saw his car start down the road I shut off the tv and disappeared in a panic. I watched from the window as he got out of the car with a bag in his hand. I backed away from the window as he walked inside.

"Spirit, I'm home!" He looked up at the ceiling as if I was above him, psh, ghosts can't fly, dumb ass...

"And I've got something that'll make you come out!" He reached into the bag to reveal a box. I got closer.

Ouija board is that the best he can do? This'll be fun to watch, those don't even work...

He took a seat on the floor in the middle of the living room and set up the board. He carefully read over the instructions and did exactly what it said.

"Are there spirits present?" The pendant didn't move. I had to put my hand over my mouth to keep myself from laughing. Fool...

"I know you're there! I'll find some way to get you to show yourself again!" He moved the pendant in a circular motion three times, and asked once again. Okay, maybe I will mess with him...

I tip toed over and sat criss cross next to him, I set my fingers on the other side of the pendant and moved it to yes. His eyes lit up.

"You're here!? He-hello! Um what's your name?" Now for some real fun...

I moved the pendant to L over to U to C I F E R. I couldn't hold it in any longer, I burst into laughter as he looked absolutely terrified. I can't believe he actually thinks I'm satan himself!

He glanced over to where I sat, he heard me laugh, damn I was having so much fun...

"Hello? Are you there?" I stayed quiet, putting my hands back over my mouth. His gaze went back to the board and he sighed, "One day, I'll see you again. I hope that day will come soon. Can I say goodbye?" Right, I forgot about this part...

I moved the pendant to yes and he said goodbye, even though I never actually left. He put the board away and looked up again.

"Can I see you?" I don't know, can you?

He sighed in defeat and went up to his room. I followed behind. He picked up his guitar.

"Why won't you reveal yourself to me?" Why does he always look at the ceiling when trying to talk to me? I'm a ghost not a bird...

"Hello! Wait what!?" Oh shit did I say that out loud!?

I took a step closer to him.

"I heard you! You're a ghost! I thought ghosts could fly..." You thought wrong buster...

"What's your name?" I stayed silent, "Okay, I'll call you Boo. Like the ghost from mario. Is that okay?" That's kinda cute, actually...

"Well, Boo. You can stay quiet all you want, but I'll get you to show yourself eventually." He began playing with the knobs on the guitar. I sat on the floor and listened to his song. It wasn't one I had heard before, but it was pretty.

He put the instrument away and walked downstairs to start his dinner. Of course I followed. Is he really cooking tonight? He usually just orders something...

He poured the noodles into the hot water and waited for them to cook.

"So, do you like pasta?" He turned his head the wrong direction, I'm over here dip shit...

"Do you like to eat? What do ghosts eat? Or do they just not eat? Do they eat food? Or people? No, that's zombies. What about drinking? Do they need water?" I put a hand back over my mouth as I giggled.

He kept asking questions as he finished cooking, instead of pulling out a plate for one, he pulled out two. Is someone coming over?

"I've made some for you, if you'd like to have some. You don't have too. I understand if you don't want it." He set one plate on one side of the table and set the other down where he sat. Before sitting down he set out forks and made the table look nicer than usual.

Woah, is this really all... for me? Why would he do this for me? All I've done is mess with him...

"Boo? If you're there, it's okay if you don't want to reveal yourself. As much as I'd like to see you again, I won't push you anymore. I'm sorry for pushing you. I hope you have a nice night. Whoever it is you are."

It does smell amazing, it's been a long time since anyone has done anything nice for me... fuck, now I'm conflicted, ahhhhhh! I can't let him see me! But he did something nice for me! Ahhhh... okay, just this once, I'll reveal myself, for just a bit...

My breathing got heavy and my hands began to shake.

"I've never revealed myself to anyone. Do you promise not to hurt me?" As these words left my mouth, hope filled his eyes as he smiled wide.

"Oh wow, um yes I promise! I promise I won't hurt you Boo." He ran his hand through his hair and stood up.

"Okay..." I slowly revealed myself, starting from my feet up to my face, "Hi, I'm so sorry, I'm really nervous. I've never actually talked to anyone in so so long." I hid my shaking hands, now going bat shit, behind my back.

"Woah, you're so lovely." He took a step closer, causing me to freak out even more.

"Oh uh, thank you?" I nervously chuckled, "Um the food smells amazing by the way. Thank you for making me some, and to answer your question yes ghosts eat but we really don't need to. I usually don't, but I'll make an exception for you." I spoke fast, and loud. He just stared. Oh boy did I do something wrong!?

"Ryan? Are you okay?"

"Um, yeah I just never thought I'd actually get to meet you. Please sit down, I'd like to get to know you." He sat back down, I sent him a sheepish smile and sat on the other side of the small wood table. I took a bite of pasta, woah this is so good...

"So, has it been you, messing with my things?"

"Yeah, that's all me."

"Why?" He asked.

"Well, this is my house. I've lived here for years by myself. Then you showed up. I wanted you out. I tried everything to scare you away, yet you're still here. Why are you still here?" I began to get more comfortable, my hands stopped shaking and my voice along with my breathing regulated.

"This place was cheap. Everyone told me this place was haunted, I didn't believe them. What song were you singing yesterday? When I saw you?" My body tensed up as I thought back to the incident, "I've had it stuck in my head ever since."

"I-I uh I actually don't know I've just heard it around. I'm so sorry about that, I thought you wouldn't be home for another hour," I looked down at my pasta, "How long were you standing there?"

"I don't know, about a minute at least," I cringed, "You have a beautiful voice, by the way. I'd love to hear you sing again."

"Thanks but, I'm not that good," He opened his mouth to deny it but I spoke before he could, "Did you really think the Ouija board was going to work?"

"What do you mean?" He asked confused.

"The board, I was laughing way too hard watching you try to 'summon me' with that thing." I giggled thinking back to it.

"But it did work, you answered! And I heard you laugh!"

"Yeah, but that was all me. The board didn't do shit." I said, taking a bite. He just mouthed an 'oh' and kept eating. He was very happy to have me around, we asked each other about almost everything.

"What do you do all day while I'm out?" He asked.

"Nothing much, I mostly just sit around and watch tv. Sometimes I look through your things or figure out what my next plan will be to get you to leave." I answered honestly.

"Do you still want me to leave?" He kept his eyes locked on mine. I hesitated. I don't even know, I don't think so?

"Honestly Ryan, I don't think I do. I've kind of had fun messing with you, I think I'd just get bored if you left. And now that I've gotten to know you, you're really not that bad," I explained, eating the last of my pasta, "What about me? Do you want me to leave?"

"No, not at all," He spoke fast, and nervously, "I um, I mean no not really." He stared down at his empty plate, clearly hiding a blush. You have got to be kidding me...

"The pasta was delicious Ryan, thank you. I'm going to go now." I began to stand up. His head whipped upwards as his brown eyes met mine.

"Wait! Don't go! Please," He stood up and came closer to me, "Don't leave."

"I'll still be here, I'll always be here. I just need to disappear for a bit." I smiled.

"But I don't want you to disappear! Please don't go." He hugged me tight. Woah, a hug? I didn't even know I could feel touch anymore...

"Oh Ryan, I'm not going anywhere." I stroked his curly brown hair. I pulled away and disappeared.

"Will I ever see you again?" He asked, worried.

"Yeah, I'll show myself again soon." I walked away and laid on the couch.

"Goodnight Boo."

"Goodnight Ryan."

Well that was eventful, he was actually really nice, and he's definitely crushing on me... how could that even be? I'm a ghost? Is that even possible? Maybe if I showed myself for a long time, I couldn't do that, I don't have enough energy for something like that...

My eye lids began to get heavy as these questions bounced around my head and I fell asleep.
