01.Wandering In The Streets
Am a ghost! I know I am.
For the past three years I have been wandering about from street to street without been noticed by any human being except ghosts like me
I have no idea of why am still in the human world, ghosts were suppose to be in heaven after they die not in the human world,it was a boring and tiring moments for me been living on earth as a ghost.
So lonely and tiresome
I don't have any memory of how i died or what was behind my death because am still young.
I was walking down the street where people were moving about,some were smiling and chatting with their friends, some were waiting by the bus stop for the next bus,while some were walking up and down the street,its obvious they didn't notice me as some people even went through me while walking
when I got to the bus stop, among the people standing by the road side,i saw a little boy staring at me,for some moment,i stopped,staring back at him,the boy should be around 11 to 12 years of age,he looks so dirty and rough
He can't possibly see me except if he's a ghost,i wonder if he saw me or was just staring at something else,i looked behind me severally and faced him after confirming no one or thing was there
"Can you see me?"I could help but ask,he wasn't responding,all he did was kept staring at me
I moved closer to him and bent a little to look at him closely "can you really see me?" i asked waving my hand before his eyes,he blinked and stared off. "YES,I CAN AND SO?"he replied rudely
'He can really see me? Why? Is he a ghost? An alien?.What exactly is he?' I thought to myself looking at him strangely. "Wow you saw me,you really saw me,am so happy you saw me" i said smiling and jumping up happily.
He looked at me and made a dull face "yes I can see you because am a ghost also" he answered politely than the first time,looking at me,he shook his head sadly and started moving away,leaving me behind.
I stood there staring at him as he left 'what the hell was that? I was happy for no reason,he's a ghost and too,why treating me like I'm something else? too' i thought to my self "Am older than you!don't be so rude to me like that" i screamed looking at him as he left.
"Yeah it's normal for ghosts to see ghosts. But why can't a single human see me? Why? I thought some human has the ability to see ghosts,why is it so hard to find one? where are they all hiding?" i said sadly looking as the boy disappears from my sight
"Why am I still on earth? I should disappear from this world if I have nothing to do with this humans,i get lonely and sad everyday,what's my purpose for still staying on this lonely earth? Someone should tell me from up there" i yelled on top of my voice looking up at the sky.
Thunder struck from the sky with lightning like its going to rain soon.
As i heard the sound of thunder from the sky, i quickly bent down dodging beside a bench,i peeped slowly looking up to the sky "wow that really scared me,was i too loud? was he angry at me? you guys have to go easy on me,you can't kill me twice OK?" i said looking up.
After a while, i stood up from where I dodged then continue walking heading to an unknown destination.

John's POV
I was taking pictures of a pretty model artist. She was so hot and beautiful. I promise myself to have her pin after we finish shooting all the pictures,then hook up with her later.
From my personality and attitudes towards ladies, You can call me a player,am so handsome and smart,so its normal for ladies to hang around me a lot,especial from this company,ladies were dying over me because of my amazing good looking face and body.
Because of my look and appearance,i take the advantage to play with ladies all I like,every girlfriend i have can only last for a week or less than that, no matter how pretty she is,after playing with them,i dump their ass off and go for another new hot girl.
After shooting for 30minutes,i asked for five minutes break before we resume back
"Let's take five minutes break" i said leaving the scene while handing over the camera to Sam, my personal assistant,he viewed through the pictures i have taken and smiled at me raising his thumb finger at me,that shows a sign of an excellent job. Tina brought a bottle of water to me with a face towel to dry my sweats "Here sir" she said stretching them to me,i received the bottle water and drank from it, leaving the remaining on the table by my side while my eyes lingered on Debbie, the model i just finished shooting her photos,she caught my eyes and was smiling in a seductive way, i smiled back winking my eyes at her,she smiled more covering her mouth with her fingers 'Wow. You fell for me already? I think that makes it so easy for me' I thought to myself still smiling at her.
After I finished all the photo shoots, the director and everyone started to round up everything to leave,Tina came to me and started drying my sweats with the towel she was holding "That was a perfect job,you're the best"she said smiling "Of course I am" i said still staring at Debbie.
Tina traced my gaze and smiled "You like her too?"she asked as she withdrew the towel from my face,i looked at her not replying "Go to Sam and help him pack up" i said smiling while holding her shoulders,i left her and moved to where debbie was standing,immediately Debbie saw me, a smile formed up on her face 'i got to her smiling so often'
"You look most beautiful of all the ladies today" I said looking at her "Really?" she asked, i nodded in return
"Wow am so happy to hear that" she said blushing
"It's time to leave" a lady said looking at us from afar "Oh so sad I have to leave now" Debbie said looking at me,i dipped my hand into my pocket and brought out a pen,i took her hand and wrote my phone number on her arm
she smiled looking at me shyly,i kissed her soft lovely hand and let her go "I promise to call you soon" she said before leaving to meet others. I was staring at her sexy back view as she walks,the fitted gown she wore glued to her body showing her amazing curves,her hips swayed to each side as she walked,i kept staring at her smiling to myself "Let's see how long you'll last" i said and also left the scene.
When it's 7:30pm, I prepared to leave the company to my house.
After I finished viewing through some pictures and making an adjustment were they went bad,i stood up from the seat taking my car key with me. I left the office and headed to my car in the compound.
:
I was driving on the highway feeling happy about today's work and thinking about my next target Debbie,i was smiling happily while driving,i noticed my car was acting strange.
I decided to pull over and check what's wrong with it,i came down from the car and opened the bonnet,although i have no idea of what to check or where to touch,i shut it angrily which caused a loud sound that echoed down the quite road
"What the f*ck is wrong with you? Why do you have to do this to me now?" i said looking at my car and i checked my wrist watch, the time is almost 8:00pm,it's dark and getting late already
i took my phone and dialed Sam's number to come and pick me up from the place, i told him the location and described the place.
Immediately I told him, he said he's on his way. I got a bit relieved and started walking from end to end waiting for him to arrive.

Stella's POV
I was walking down beside the road roaming about as usual,i saw a guy standing by a red spot car,he looks amazingly handsome,from his facial expression,i can see he's bothered by something,i stared at him for a while admiring his handsomeness 'don't be a stupid girl,snap out of it,you're a ghost not a human,he can't even see you' a voice said in my head "Yes,who cares if he's bothered or not? let me just go my way and ignore him" i said walking towards him
But he stopped as I got closer,i wanted to go to the other side through him, but he moved to the side avoiding me,i stopped and looked up at him "Why? Can you see me?" i asked curiously looking at him, but he was not looking at me, he was staring at somewhere else,i moved to his front and tried to go through him again,he moved to the side avoiding me,i did it over and over and he also repeated the same thing,i looked up at him wondering what he's doing 'does he see me? Why is he avoiding me'? i thought to myself looking at him.
I decided to touch his face maybe he can notice that too,i raised my hand up slowly looking at him,he stood still not looking at me,when I almost touched him, he stared at my face angrily "why do you guys like doing this to me? can't you just leave me alone and go your way!" he yelled at me in frustration and anger,i got so shocked and surprised looking at him 'he can really see me,he just spoke to me,for the past three years, someone just noticed me' I thought to myself as he was staring straight into my eyes with his bright charming eyes.
:
I kept staring at him not knowing what to say,i'm happy he can see me but one side of me was sad because he's mad at me,i don't really care about that,all that matters to me was that a human just saw me for the past three years,it seems so shocking to me.
I moved back a bit facing him "you saw me? You can really see me i'm so happy you do see me,i don't know what to do right now,you're such a special being,nice meeting you" i said smiling happily,he doesn't look good staring at me,he places his hands by his waist staring at me badly. "And so? So if I can see you what does that have to do with me? We have no business together so disappear from my sight" he said in a little harsh voice.
I felt so bad by what he just said,he moved from my sight walking out on me,i tried to touch him although I know that's not possible because I can't touch human but when I tried it, I can really feel his body with my hand,my hand touched his arm lightly but he already walked pass me,i looked at my hand then looked back at him in surprise,i can touch him,i can feel it with my hand 'could this be real?' I asked myself looking at him again,i want to try it again maybe it was real
So I walked behind him and placed my hand on his arm,to my surprise it works,i can feel his warm body with my hand,i thought to myself smiling,he turned and looked at my hand then looked at my face. "Who the hell do you think you are to place those dirty hands on me?" he asked looking so annoyed.
Why is he so angry? I never did anything wrong,why is he treating me like a trash?" i asked myself as I withdrew my hand slowly."Am sorry for that. But why are you treating me this way? Did I do anything wrong to you?" I asked looking at him. He moved closer looking straight into my eyes. "Because I don't want to see you,i want to live a normal life,must I see you ghosts everyday,i mean why must you disturb me? why me of all people? I don't want to see you,get lost!" he said looking so annoyed and angry.
A car horned from the road side which got him to looked back at it,a young guy came down from the car and started walking towards us,he got to us and started looking around in confusion. "I thought you were with someone,why were you so loud? And who were you talking to?" the guy asked still looking around "It's nothing,i was talking to someone on phone" he replied raising his phone up
"Alright,let's leave this place it's late and cold,i'm scared a ghost might pop out to us" the young guy said rubbing his shoulders.
He left for the car while the handsome guy walked behind him,when he got to the car and was about opening the door, he looked back at me with an unknown expression before opening the door,the car drove down the high way,i stared at it till it was out of sight,i sighed to myself looking around the dark area
"What should I do now? Since he's the only human that can see me, I need to be around him maybe he can help me find the cause of my death,i really need his help but he's too hard to talk to."I said looking sad. I looked at the red sport car and smiled to myself "Looks like am gonna see him again" i said smiling.
I moved to the side of the car and went inside through the door,i sat down on the seat comfortably leaning my head back with a smile on my face.

John's POV.
Sam was driving the car while I sat quietly not saying a word since we left the scene,my mood was ruined because of the ghost girl I saw earlier,Sam noticed this and asked what went wrong with me "Why are you so moody and sad? did you have a bad conversation with the person you called? It's rare to see this expression" Sam said. "I also don't know why am like this,i just felt bad for no reason "I replied not looking at him "That's so strange" he said looking at me "You'll have to to pick up my car tomorrow morning after the repair" I said. "Alright" Sam replied.
After 10minutes drive, we got to my house.,i got down from the car and waved him goodbye "Drive carefully and don't forget to come early tomorrow. We're having another photo shoot by 8am tomorrow" i said looking at him "Okay,goodnight" he said
I left after he drove our of my compound,i headed towards the gate and unlocked it,i got to the living room and went straight to the fridge to drink some water,my living room was not that wide,It looks so neat and well set,the walls were painted with my best colour Pure white while the couch, center table, rugs, cottons and the rest were in blue color.
I walked to the fridge and took water from it,after drinking, I threw the bottle in the waste bin beside the fridge and headed straight to my room.
I got to my room and laid tiredly on the large sofa. My room was a medium size room,it has pictures and some stickers on the wall. It really looks like an high school student room by looking at it,it looks so rough because I was too lazy to tidy it up this morning,clothes and underwear were flung at each angle of my room,it looks messy and rough .
My mind flashed back to when I saw the ghost girl,the more I look at it, she looked so familiar to me 'who's she? I think I have seen that face somewhere before,where is that?' i thought to myself looking so worried and confused.
