Supernatural Depression

   Dan was just sitting in my bed with a sad face. I want to help him so bad. I can't stand to see people in pain, whether it be physical or mental pain."Are you all right"? I finally asked. Dan replied "Oh yeah, I'm fine". He suddenly made an obviously fake smile. He seems so different all of a sudden. I've only known him for 2 days so I can't really say that.
   "Do you mind if I watch TV in here"? Dan asked in a dull tone. "Yeah, I don't mind. He turned the TV on, and it was on Ghost Castle. In a hostile tone Dan said "I hate this show".   He layed back ob the bed, and sighed. It felt awkward to be alone with him, but I don't want to leave him alone while he's sad like this.
   I wonder, how can I help him? "Are you sure you're alright"? I ask. "Yeah, just fine". He says in an annoyed tone. I reply "I know you're lying". He looks at me for a minute, then replies. "Okay, so what? It's just that.... I just feel out of place. You're the only human that can see me, and the other ghosts, and I just don't get along"...
   I know what he's going through. Jenn doesn't really know me, even though we're friends. My dad never knew me, and my mom, and I don't talk much. I've never reallt been able to get close to someone because I'll only hurt them. Dan doesn't know the mistake he made, by giving me supernatural powers. I want to help him though...
   "Dan, even if i'm your only friend it doesn't matter, I know how you feel". He didn't say anything. I hope we can really be friends this is the first tine I've felt like I can help someone. Dan disappeared into the closet...
