**

❝because I'm happy❞

d e c e m b e r  f i r s t

Teller was back to his regular upbeat self within a couple days. And Arden was surprised with how happy she was to see him juggling her mother's Swarovski crystal champagne glasses.

"Teller!" She had screeched, startled.

"Arden," He said, smiling. "Did you know I could juggle?"

"No!"

"Neither did I! I can do a lot of weird stuff since I died."

"Teller."

"Arden."

"I have school so get off the table and get in my car."

"Aww, have I grown on you?"

"Shut up."

"You love me!" He said trailing behind her.

As Arden arrived at school, she parked her car and got out completely unnoticed by anyone.

She swerved her way through the thick high school traffic and Teller watched oddly sad by her loneliness. Though Arden never hinted at being alone or feeling lonely, Teller felt it. Call it a ghostly premonition, but he felt it.

So he had an idea.

A small yet genius idea.

Arden sat near the back of her AP Chem class, her eyes trained, not on the board but rather, on Drew Werther. It wasn't really even a crush. He was just nice to look at.

Tall, blonde, athletic, green eyes that melt your ice cold heart... What's not to like? She thought dreamily.

And just like that the buzz of her phone shook her out of her reverie.

She rolled her eyes and turned off her phone.

Her phone buzzed once again.

She looked up to see Teller standing in the doorway. He looked up from the phone he had acquired and waved. He waved a smug wave.

Her eyes widened as she took notice of his presence and Drew had chosen that moment to turn around to ask for a pencil. She had begun mouthing words frantically at Teller as Drew watched, scared.

She realized Drew was staring and smiled awkwardly. "M-my friend was just standing there and I..."

He laughed. What a beautiful sound... "It's all good. I was wondering if you had a pencil? We need them for the scantron."

"Oh yeah... Let me grab one." She rummaged through her bag and handed him the pencil. For a split second their fingers brushed and-

Moment over.

Sighing, she turned her attention to the thick packet handed to her.

Gotta love those term assessments.

Drew gave her back her pencil with a smile and a 'See ya later, Arden.'

She smiled at him and walked dazedly towards Teller.

"So... Arden's got a crush?"

"N-no," she stuttered, Teller's annoying voice bringing her down from cloud nine.

He rolled his eyes but smiled.

He had an even better plan now.

OHMYFUCKINGLORDJESUSCHRIST I UPDATED!!! YAY!!

I've decided to make invisible's chapters shorter... I feel like that helps me update sooner :)

They won't be typically as short as this one but they'll be shorter than 3000 words...

Thanks for reading (and hopefully, voting)! See y'all on the flip side
