I wrote this a year ago

I waited anxiously. “C’mon, Come on bell!” A second later I heard the bell ring. Bong bing bong. Everyone cheered including me. It was summer break! I was so excited. This summer Joel( my best bud) and I were going to a Skateboarding Tournament. The prize? $1,000. I quickly grabbed by backpack and ran to catch up with Joel. He noticed me. “
Hey Benji,” Joel said warmly, “ summer’s finally here!” I nodded still panting.
“You ready for that tournament?” I asked. He nodded.
“Of course! I’ve been living for this moment for months!” Joel stopped suddenly. “Since we need to practice, let’s head over to the park across the street from the bank. We quickly turned around and ran to the bank. Joel won the race.
“Aww maaaan! You always win!” I griped. Joel just smiled. The next thing happened in slow motion. There was a sudden shout from the bank. I saw a masked man running away from the bank. The thing I saw in his hands made me freeze. It was a gun. Joel turned around. The man held up the gun, still running. The gun gave two blasts aimed at Joel. It seemed like forever but they hit him in the heart. Joel gave a quick blood-curling scream. Joel coughed up some blood and then he collapsed. The man ran by him, smirking. “Joooooeeel!” I ran next to him. His hand was cold. I had a deep pain in my gut. I knew that he was dead. Wet, salty tears began streaming down my face. Joel couldn’t be dead. No way. No way. This is just a bad dream I told myself.
I couldn’t stand seeing his body on the ground. Numbly, I scooped up the corpse. I could bury him. It seemed fitting for him. But what about his parents? Some how I forced myself to walk those ice cold stairs. Joel’s mom answered the door. “Hey Benji would you like so-” She dropped the plate as she saw Joel. She started crying wildly. I couldn’t stand seeing such a cheerful person cry. Some how I trudged home, still in shock. Why did you have to die? Why Joel? How could you abandon me? In the time I needed you most you failed me. Joel had failed me. He had died.
I crawled into my bed. This is just a bad dream. When I wake up Joel will be alive..... if only. I woke up with a start. Panting and shivering what a terrible dream! Still panting a sudden realization hit me. Joel was dead. THUMP Started I turned up. I gasped in horrorment. The person was.....!

I gasped in horror. It couldn’t be! But it was. It was Joel! “Joel! You’re alive?! But how?!”
Joel gasped. “I’m alive?” Then he shook his head. “No. I’m merely a soul, perhaps a poltergeist to some people.
I was confused. Ghosts didn’t exist. I muttered, “Ugh. I must still be dreaming. I’ll go back to sleep and that… that ghost or whatever will be gone. Good Night!”
“Wait! Benji don’t close your eyes!” Joel cried.
“Why not? It’s just a dream isn’t it?” I questioned. Maybe this isn’t a dream!
Joel sighed, “When I was dead or when I was shot as you know. My life was flashing before my eyes. Then I saw something very crucial. I saw a strange figure hovering over me as like I was in a dream. The figure was holding a knife.”
“Ok you’re real. But who was the figure?” I asked.
Joel looked crestfallen. “I don’t know,” He shook his head sadly, “But after that flashback, I don’t remember anything else and then I suddenly was here.”
I searched my brain, desperately looking for an idea and then… “Joel! I got an idea. I know someone who can help you!”
Joel looked terrified. “Y-y-you don’t mean her!” I nodded. “That’s right! We have to see….” “Winry!” We muttered together. “But she’ll kill us!” Joel cried. I lifted my eyebrow. “Oh well you don’t have to be mean about it. A ghost does have feelings too,” Joel huffed. “Relax. After she tells us the info then she’ll kill me.” I sighed and then started crying. “I sure had a short life. I didn’t even get a girlfriend.” Why are Benji and Joel looking for a maniac who’s going to kill Benji?

Chapter 3
I grabbed my backpack and skateboard. “C’mon Joel! No time to loose!” I ran out the door. Joel lifted his eyebrow. “Benji! You forgot your pants!” He shook his head. I flushed and grabbed my jeans.
“Now let’s go!” I cried.
Joel looked apprehensive. “Are you sure this is a good idea?” He asked.
I shrugged. “Nothing left to loose eh? Except time.” Joel shrugged. I put my skateboard on the ground and started to move. Joel sort of floated besides me. I got goose bumps watching him. Joel looked so sad. I’m going to him back his body no matter what! I vowed to myself. The place wasn’t far away. About 5 minutes later we were there! I sighed. This was my funeral after all.
As we walked in the store, I got the creeps. Man this place is scary! I thought. As we approached the front counter something popped out! Joel and I screamed. Out came Winry! She was a female around 14 years of age. Winry had a dirty blond hair and cold steel blue eyes. She had a wrench in her hand.
“What are you guys doing here?! I asked you guys to leave me alone!” Winry sighed. Wait a minute……
“You can see Joel?” I cried.
“You can see me?!” Joel asked.
Winry sighed, looking disgusted. “Of course I can see him! It’s not that hard seeing a 12 year old boy is it?”
I shook my head. “It shocks us that you can see Joel because………he’s….”
“That I’m dead,” Joel finished the sentence for me.
Winry looked shocked. I had never seen her before like this. She started crying and then…… She looked at me! This is not good this is NOT Good! I thought. I backed away nervously almost crashing into a mountain of books. She stood up, the wrench still in her hand. Then she came charging at me with the wrench above her head! I’m going to DIE!!!!!!!!!!!! I thought as I approached my doom…….. Is Winry going to kill Benji? Stay tuned!

Yeah.. i didn't finish it <_<
