team one consisted of; Miranda, Angie, Ashley, and myself.
Everyone was beyond relieved when coach appeared, sounding his whistle for the remaining players to take a water break.
“Nice dodges out there,” Angie whispered as she walked up to me, offering me a towel and a bottle of water.
“Thanks,” I replied a little surprised that she would acknowledge me openly in school.
“What do you two think you are doing?” Ashley whispered, while pretending she was tying her shoes. “Are you trying to break our agreement?”
Even though I could barely see her face behind her thick curtain of hair, her tone told me all I needed to know.
“Sorry, Ash-”I began until Angie interrupted me.
“Do not apologize to her. I think we need to consider revising our deal,” Angie said while scowling down at Ashley with her hands on her hips.
This made Ashley drop her charade of tying her shoes as she challenged Angie’s glare.
“Hey! Watch out!” Brandon shouted, pulling our attention toward him.
There was hardly any time to react as I saw a big dodge ball heading straight toward me.
Angie and Ashley both reached out to me, but I knew their aid would be too late. With nowhere to go, I closed my eyes hoping the ball would pass me by.
Almost immediately after closing my eyes, I realized that I could no longer hear anything. Terrified of what I might find when I opened my eyes once again, I gradually pried them open only to come face-to-face with the dodge ball suspended in midair about an inch away from my nose.
Slowly backing away from the floating ball, I was trembling all over.
This cannot be happening.
The only ones unaffected were my sisters and I.
It is going to be hard to forget the motionless frightened faces of the coach and most of the students in the gym. The grins on Miranda’s and Brandon’s faces were the only things that seemed out of place as they watched the now unmoving levitating ball move toward me.
“What just happened?” Ashley asked in a trembling voice
Her words barely registered in my head, when I caught movement in my peripheral view. Turning around, I saw the ghost boy standing against the bleachers, and for the first time ever I saw him smile as his form became transparent and he disappeared.
That was the last thing I saw before my world went black.

“We need to talk,” was all I said, as I grabbed Ashley by the shoulders and steered her into the girl’s bathroom.
“What is your problem?” Ashley asked, as she pulled away from me, still in her last period uniform since we did not have time to change before taking April to the infirmary.
“That’s what I want to ask you. Our sister is now in the nurse’s office because your boyfriend is such a jerk.”
Ashley just shrugged her shoulders, peering inside the stalls to make sure no one was listening in on our conversation.
“How can you be so nonchalant about this?” I asked, trying not to let Ashley get to me.
Oddly enough, we shared the same zodiac sign, despite our different personalities, and that is because we also share the same birthday.
The Anderson’s brought us together as sisters after adopting us into their family when we were two.
“Fine, be that way. I did not drag you in here to fight,” I finally stated after a few minutes of silence. “We need to figure out what happened back there with the dodge ball.”
This comment made Ashley turn around with a puzzled expression on her face. “You saw that, too? I thought I was going crazy since it happened so fast.”
“Well, you are crazy, but unless your craziness it contagious. It really did happen.” I answered Ashley teasingly. “What I really want to know is how come no one remembers being frozen?”
“I don’t know. This is just too weird,” Ashley replied, staring at her reflection in the mirror.
Our differences are why we thought the agreement would be easy
