Kaylee Vanishes

Giggling, Kaylee planted a kiss on your chin. "See you soon." She whispered, and instantly she was gone. Clearly, Kaylee was using the ring, and by that giggle, it couldn't be anything good. Gulping, you turned off the shower, just to hear a strange sound.

"Here's Jo-." You heard from the other side of the door. "Hey Nick! The uh... Door's locked." The voice continued. You had a pretty good idea of who it belonged to, though. "C'mon! I had this whole idea!"

Sighing, you walked over to the door and unlocked it. Taking a step back, you cleared your throat. "Oh no, I sure hope that nobody makes a really cool entry! That would be a funny reference!" You shouted.

Instantly, the door swung open, with August's face in a frown. "You know that kinda ruined the whole bit, right Nick?"

"Couldn't you have just, I dunno, used your ghost powers to phase through the door? Or put your hand through, unlock it, and then make the entry?" You ask.

"Uhh... No?" August's body responded. "Ghost powers, haha what are you... Damn! How'd you figure it out so fast?"

"Can I be honest?" You asked, scratching your chin.

"Yes. Please do."

"You're kinda... Terrible at acting. August wouldn't do any of that, Kaylee. And you did say you would be right back." You answered honestly.

"You couldn't have made something more charming up? Like, 'the red string of fate connects us! I know it's you, my beloved, with only a glance!'" Kaylee said with August's body.

"Going from boyfriend/girlfriend to beloved? Oof, that's a fast jump." You tease.

Kaylee blushed at that, turning August's usually stern face into a suddenly cute one. Trying to act serious, she stamped her foot down. "Listen, you've gotta get out of here! August doesn't know you're here, right?"

God, Kaylee looked so cute, trying and failing to make August look serious. "Yeah, and her dad will kill me, right?"

"Yes! He gets back from work in like, 5 minutes! Get dressed and get out, I'll meet you at your house!" Kaylee commanded, throwing your clothes at you.

Sighing, you followed Kaylee's commands, and left August's place heading back to your own house. One brisk walk later, and you sat at your bed. "Wait. Does Kaylee even know where I live?" You asked out loud.

Looking at your phone, you realized you also didn't have her number. "Shit." You grunted, as your mind raced. What was Kaylee's plan, if she even had one? There was a solid chance it consisted of wandering around, knocking door-to-door.

"Hey, Nick?" You heard, preceeded by a light knock on your door. It was your mother. "You have a guest." She said through the door.

Could that be Kaylee? "Let her in, mom." You shouted, and a second later your door creaked open.

"We have the project for science class." You heard a disappointing voice say. "I've brought some materials over."

You groaned as Carrie proceeded to clear her usual spot on your desk, piling far too many textbooks and such on it. You were assigned the project yesterday! You had three weeks to do it! Why today, did Carrie have to get it done?!

"Carrie, can we hold off on it? I know you want to get it done but-"

"No. It's either here, today or tomorrow at Henry's. And you won't sit there sleeping the entire time." Carrie snapped back.

"No offense, but maybe don't get into a group with us then? You know by now that I uh... What's the word? Precipitate?"" You ask.

"Procrastinate."

"Yeah, that. And Henry is... Well he's not bright. Let's be honest."

Sighing, Carrie turns to you. "You're nice to be around. Is that so wrong?" Carrie averted her gaze, pressing her thighs together. "Do you enjoy me being around? I'm just..."

Uh oh. A few hours ago, you would've went full-on "Of course, why don't we continue this on my bed?" But... You had a girlfriend now. A girlfriend who had some sort of all-powerful magic ring. THAT YOU GAVE TO HER! You had to do something, you couldn't just sit there awkwardly, staring at the wall! After a few seconds, which felt like centuries, you decided to...
