Hanako pulled my hand as we ran down the halls, weaving in and out of the flood of students making their way to classes. I was grinning to myself about going on this little adventure with Hanako.

"Hanako, are we almost there!" I say as he keeps his pace up dragging me along with him on his run to god knows where. By now the halls had started to fill up with students grabbing their books or talking to their classmates. Sometimes it would sadden me when I say them having so much fun, chatting with their friends or just simply giggling to each other. My life had been shortened at such a young age and I never got to experience love or heartbreak, graduating school and adult life. All of that had been stripped from me. The moment I had died their way no going back no more chances. I was gone.

Eventually Hanako came to an abrupt stop in front of a classroom, I fell into his shoulder and almost fell over onto the floor well I would of fallen flat on my ass if it wasn't for Hanako quickly catching me and giving me his signature smirk as he pulled me up. That disrupted my thoughts which I was thankful for.

"Why are we here?" I questioned him, a little out of breath from all of the running we had done.
"Helping chubby ankles of course!" Hanako says, before I could even reply he had swung open the doors and dragged me along with him through them. Oh god this can't end well.

School for the day had just started and all of the students quickly turned their heads in our direction, confused into why the doors had suddenly been so forcefully opened. I looked down at the floor in slight embarrassment after what we had just done.

"Come on class it was just the wind." The teachers says before walking over to the doors and closing them, I let out I sigh of relief. You see I had never completely adjusted to being a ghost, of course I knew the basics like how I was dead and all of that. But sometimes I would forget, like in this moment when I thought everyone in the class had just seen the two of us bursting into the room. Well I mean almost everyone except for Nene of course who I could see in the corner of the room.

"Hey you in there?" I quickly snapped out of my thoughts, Hanako had his hand waving across my face and had a slightly confused look on his face as he was checking if I was ok.

I gave him a small smile, signalling that I was ok.
"Yeah just doing a bit of thinking" I say as I started to make my way over to Nene, who was looking at Hanako and I in complete shock. Well to be far we did just burst into her classroom completely unannounced, so I can understand where she is coming from. I think to myself as I gave her a friendly wave, which she returned with a warm smile. I wish I could still have the chance to be in classes again and smile with other students. I think to myself as I look at the smiling girl sitting in front of me.

Before I could walk any closer to her I was cut off by Hanako who sprinted over to her desk, almost knocking it over and saying a big hello to her. Oh god why does he keep traumatising children?! This made me laugh, he would always do this when ever we met new people or anyone actually his confidence and happiness was something I had sometimes envied, however that never really did last that long. Because at the end of the day Hanako and I are still trapped here for the same reason.
