Mike Peters is Dead

Everyone knows by now that Mike Peters is dead. It happened a couple of months ago. He was riding his bike home from school when it happened. He had stopped to rest by an apartment building when a TV fell out of a top apartment window and landed right on his head. That was the end of Mike Peters , tragic I know. My name is Pepper and Mike is my boyfriend, we have been dating since the start of our junior year of high school. You will notice I said Mike is my boyfriend and not Mike was my boyfriend. The truth is we are still dating . Sounds weird doesn't it? Well it is the truth we are still dating and he is still my boyfriend. There is just one little problem now he is a ghost. Just keep in mind, no relationship is perfect. I mean we all have our struggles to keep a relationship working. I don't know why Mike had to stop in front of that apartment building. If he would have just kept on going we would not be in this predicament. But he did stop there and now here I am dating a dead boyfriend.

As I am sure you can imagine dating a dead boyfriend presents a lot of problems. For one my parents are never going to approve. I can just hear my dad now yelling " How is he going to get a job!" How is he going to take care of my little girl!" And then I can see my mom crying and saying "Why can't you get a normal boyfriend like everyone else." You can see why I would want to avoid that scene. And then there is the problem of when we go out in public. I am the only one who can see Mike. I have already gotten weird looks when we go for long walks. I mean I just looks like I am walking along talking to myself. People look at me like I am crazy. I did think of one solution, I got ahold of one of my mother's designer sheets. I tore holes in it for Mike's eyes and told him to put it on. Not only did this not make my mother happy there is another problem. Designer sheets aren't in fashion! Besides that after he put the sheet on I noticed nobody can see his legs. I can't be seen walking around town with some floating sheet. I told you people already think I am crazy. I can just imagine going to dinner or to the movies with my floating sheet. How much gossip is that going to cause ?

What about our wedding! We would have to get married on Halloween for sure. I can just imagine all of our family and friends there. And there I am standing at the alter with my floating sheet. I can hear the preacher saying " Do you Pepper take this floating sheet to be your wedded husband?" My parents will be humiliated, we will become outcasts. Nope this is not going to work. Mike and I are gonna have to break up. What happens when you break up with a ghost? I wonder if Mike will seek revenge on me for dumping him. I guess the only way to find out is to go for it . What is the worst that could happen anyway? I am dumping Mike tonight.

Well I did it, I spoke with Mike and broke it off with him. Things did not go well, now my house is being haunted by Mike. He has already scared my mom while she was taking a shower. Poured chocolate ice cream on top of my dad's head. And I am almost certain he is the one who dyed my dog Super Bark's tail purple. The worst thing is that he has now stolen my history homework and will not give it back. What am I suppose to tell my teacher tomorrow? I guess I will just have to say " Oh I am sorry Mrs. Bryant it seems my late boyfriend Mike's ghost has stolen my homework." Fat chance I won't be getting an F on that assignment. He keeps ripping the sheets off me at night and tickling my feet. This morning he poked me in the eye with his ghost finger. God he is being so annoying. This morning he stacked all the kitchen table chairs on top of each other. Now my mom is running all over the house burning sage. It has only been a couple of days since I broke up with Mike and I can't take it anymore. I need an exorcist that is what I need. Forget the exorcist, I think I will just walk right into a church and dump my whole head in holy water. That should do the trick.

The church I walk into was doing a baptism, I just ran right in there dumped my head in the holy water. Splashed some of it all over me and ran out. Everybody stopped what they where doing to watch me. I guess that church thinks I am crazy now. Oh well I am starting to be well known for weird behavior. Turns out my holy water bath did not really do the trick. Mike has kept his antics up for the last couple of days. He even walked in on my dad when he was in the bathroom slapped him on the head and tried to pull his nose. He is the most annoying ghost ever. He keeps touching and poking me all the time. I don't know how I will get rid of Mike's ghost. Although I haven't heard much of him today, so maybe that is a good sign. He could just be waiting for the perfect time to try and frighten me, I am not going to let my guard down for a second.

It has been a couple of weeks since I heard anything from Mike's ghost. And to be honest I was starting to really miss him. Sounds weird I know but he was a good boyfriend when he was alive. Even if he did turn out be an annoying jerk after he died. I miss the good times we had together. I think I saw him for the last time I am going to see him tonight. I was relaxing on my bed listening to my favorite music, just enjoying the evening. When all of a sudden I saw a really bright light on my bedroom wall. I looked at it to try and figure out what the light was and where it was coming from. And then in the middle of the light was Mike. He looked happy and was holding hands with a girl. He looked at me smiled and waved at me. Then both him and the girl turned around and walked towards the light. He must have found happiness in the after life and was ready to go. It must have been his way of telling me goodbye, I was ready to let him go. One thing is for sure, no matter how many boyfriends I have or what I do in this life, I will always remember Mike Peters.
