Patrick bows up a bit too, moving in front of me slightly to mark his territory.
"Hey, Jase," I manage to squeak out, trying to take the initiative, be the grownup, and be nice.
His face softens and his eyes shine happily. I can tell he wants to reach for me, but I must have that "don't go there" look on my face. Instead, he just smiles that award-winning modelesque grin that won me over in the first place so many months—and so much drama—ago.
Jason parts his lips and then says, ever so lazily, like nothing's changed between us, "Hey, Kendall. I'm back."
All I can think is: Oh, crap.
To be continued ...
Disclaimer
The thoughts and feelings described by Kendall and her friends are typical of those experienced by young people awakening to sensitive or psychic abilities.
Many of the events and situations encountered by Kendall and her team of paranormal investigators are based on events reported by real ghost hunters. Also, the equipment described in the book is standard in the field.
However, if you are a young person experiencing psychic phenomena, talk to an adult. And while real paranormal investigation is an exciting, interesting field, it is also a serious, sometimes even dangerous, undertaking. While I hope you are entertained by the Ghost Huntresses, please know that it's recommended that young people not attempt the investigative techniques described here without proper adult supervision.
