nce on Halloween Kelsey rode the bus with her friend Sheila. Then their friend Haley got on. Their bus driver Bill was gone. There was a stinky bus driver who took over for Bill.

"Who's that," said Sheila Who was wondering ever since she got on who the bus driver was.

"I don't know," said Kelsey with a confused look on her face.

"I know who it is," Haley said very excited for some reason.

"Who is it? " asked Sheila?

"He's MEANY!" yelled Haley.

"Why is that?" asked Sheila?

"It's because He looks mean," said Haley.

Then Haley noticed that there were letters on the back of the bus divers shirt and she wanted to know what it meant. "What's that stand for?" said Haley in concern.

"Oh, it stands for I Fake Dead." Said the stinky bus driver with a wide creepy smile.
Haley got off with a glare. This got Haley thinking, why did the shirt say that? She walked down her slanted driveway of the white with brick house. When Haley got to her room she called Kelsey.

"Hey Kelsey guess what, I know what the letters Stand for that were on the back of the bus driver's shirt" said Haley

"What. what did it mean? " asked Kelsey in a jumpy voice.

"I Fake Dead" Haley said.

"Why does it say that? " said Kelsey. "That doesn't make since".

"He said it to my face" said Haley.

Kelsey called Sheila and said

"Hey Sheila did you see those letters on the stinky bus drivers shirt"?

"Yes I did," said. Sheila. "They stand for I Fake Dead".

Over the weekend Haley, Kelsey, and Sheila met to spy on the stinky bus driver at his house. Soon they got done and added up the evidence.

"It turns out He's a ghost" Haley and Kelsey said to Sheila.

"Wohhh" Sheila said with a confused look on her face. "Now you've gone to far," said Sheila.

"No we haven't" said Kelsey almost arguing. "We've added up all of the evidence and that's what we got," said Haley not meaning to be mean.

On Monday morning when the girls got on the bus they went over to the stinky bus driver and put their hands on the bus driver's shoulder and their arms fell straight through his shoulder!

" Do you believe in ghosts," asked Haley to the bus driver a bit scared, but she didn't let it show.

"I.I. .I um sure" stuttered the stinky bus driver.

The three girls were shocked. "This doesn't seem right," said Sheila. They thought about the evidence: 1. "His shirt stands for I Fake Dead," Kelsey said, 2. "He believes in ghosts said Sheila, 3. "We all put our hands on his shoulder and our hands fell straight through his shoulder," said Haley.

"What are you three girls talking about," asked the stinky bus driver suspiciously.

The girls didn't know what to say so they ran all of the way back to their houses.
Haley called Sheila.

"Do you know what the stinky bus driver's name is," asked Haley.

"Yes his name is Joe Lee Drake," Sheila said curiously.

"Sheila, tell Kelsey to meet us at the Pendleton Cemetery," said Haley leaving Sheila confused.

The girls all met in the Cemetery. They walked straight until they saw a gravestone that said 'Joe Lee Drake'.

"That's crazy He's dead," said Kelsey in a loud whisper.

"I know," said Haley.

"That's what scares me". Sheila screamed in terror, then Kelsey and then Haley. The three girls ran to Joe's house.

"Why do you have a grave stone," asked Sheila when they got there.

"Um-m-m-m that's not mine a-a-a it's my dad's," said the stinky bus driver.

"But I thought you said your dad was in Florida," said Kelsey who was just saying this to see how he would react.

"He is .. Oops," he said to Kelsey's surprise.

"Some things going on here and we're going to find out what it is," said Haley bravely. "All three of us," said Kelsey agreeing with her 80 percent.

The next day when the girls got on the bus they looked at Joe and sat in the fourth seat on the right of the bus. Then all the girls decided that they were going to take a tour of Joe's house after school.

After school the three of them snuck into Joe's house. They looked around for a few minutes and they didn't suspect anything. Then they went to leave and when they opened the door the bus driver Joe was there.

"WHAT ARE YOU THREE DOEING HERE!" Joe screamed in fury.

The girls ran and when they ran, they were in such a hurry, they didn't know it, but they ran through Joe. The girls ran to Falls Park and stayed there for ten minutes. They all went to Joe's house and nobody was there so they went inside. All of a sudden they heard something but they didn't know what it was so they left. But when they got to the door they herd a car pull in the driveway.

"He's here," said Haley. "RUN TO THE BACK DOOR," screeched Kelsey in a whisper. "You don't have to tell me twice," said Sheila.

The girls ran toward the back door and back to Falls Park. Five minutes later when they went back to Joe's house they heard lots and lots of sounds but they couldn't see what was making them. The next time they went to Joe's house something strange happened..

"Oh my gosh," said Kelsey. Kelsey was right because there was Bill tied up inside the nasty old ding shower! He said that he was making all of that noise that they herd.
"Who did this to you," asked Sheila.

"It was Joe," said Bill.

"I'll be back," said Haley.

Haley ran to the phone and called the police. "Hello" said Haley "a man named Joe Lee Drake kidnapped a man named Bill."

"But Joe Lee Drake is dead" said the policeman.

"I know," said Haley.

"We will be there in a minute," said the police officer.

The policeman was there and Joe was taken away back to his grave and they untied Bill.

The next day Bill was back on the bus.

"That's the way we are going to keep it," said the girls together, they laughed and that is exactly what happened. Bill stayed working on the bus and that was a great thing.
