It’s hard to have a ghost as a roommate
Mike was washing his teeth looking into the mirror in the morning. His own bored face stared back at his with disinterest. He never really thought about his own appearance. He had plain short brown hair and blue eyes. The only distinguishing feature was the weird spots on his face. Two under each other on his forehead and another two on his cheek.
Suddenly another face appeared seemingly splitting from his own. It was the opposite of plain. Glowing with deathly blue green glow but still appealing. A kind face with clear skin and huge orange eyes.
“Good morning!” Belo said already too excited for his still sleepy friend.
“Hmmm...” was the only answer the poor ghost got from probably the most-not-morning-person-person of all time.
“Somebody should’ve gone to sleep earlier last night.” Said the ghost giggling. “I will leave you to wake up since it seems you still haven’t yet.” He announced and dipped into their room. Probably to surf on the internet for a bit.
Mike left to his thoughts started to think circles about how strange his life was.
Mike was raised with his twin brother. They used to be very close when younger but in the last couple of years the seemed to drift apart.
It might have to do something with Mikes introduction into the supernatural. Mike is 19 now but when he was still a teen he met a certain ghost that decided to crash land into his life and change his outlook on things completely.
Mike’s train of thought was suddenly interrupt but a quiet shout of his best friend. “I would hurry up if I were you! You know you won’t be able to blame me for being late. I’m always ready to go.” Belo’s shrilly voice came from the other room.
After quickly finishing his task Mike left the room and checked the clock. It wasn’t that late he still had time to dress but waiting seemed to make Belo anxious sometimes so he decided to do dress quickly pack his bag and leave for work.
A cold familiar feeling came over him. It’s Belo. His hand is already completely inside of Mile’s chest. Belo often possesses Mikes body. Well, not quite possesses. Belo rarely takes control. His presence just sits inside of Miles head. A new soul right next to Mike’s.
This was the best way to travel for them. There are other people in this world that can see ghosts and poor Belo was quite afraid of normal people seeing his ironically.
They leave the house together. And go to the pub Mike works at. Mike works in a pub. It’s not the best or cleanest place but he likes it just enough to get through the hours. The owners are nice but strict so he has little time to take a breather. It’s just a summer job that he decided to find to pass the time. Belo was complaining about how bored he was at the start of the summer so there’s another reason to work right there.
Through out the night Belo was making stupid remarks about the patrons. Mike was trying so hard not to even smile but Belo took it as a challenge.
