"Gozer? Who's that?" Jasper said. 

"I don't know." I say.

"Why does it want you of all people?" Ray asked. 

"What do you mean?" I ask.

"I mean, you're just a kid. It wants a man." Ray said pointing to himself. 

"You? A man?" I ask. 

"You're whinny." Jasper said. 

"What me? No!" Ray said. 

He slipped on a wet surface. 

"What the? Shwoz what did you do? You almost killed me!" Ray whined.

It looked like slime. It looked like clear goop.

"This stuff isn't mine. It's a ghost!" Shwoz said running back into the hidden room. 

"What's his problem?" Jasper said. 

"I have no clue." I say. 

I looked at the clock. Oh! It's almost 8:00! I got school.

"I gotta go! I have school!" I yell. 

Ray grabbed my shirt collar. 

"What?" I yell. 

"You need to clean this stuff up!" Ray yelled. 

"What? Why do I have to?" I ask.

"Because I say so! I'm your boss!" Ray said. 

"Ugh, so?" I ask. 

"So you have to do what I say!" Ray said. 

"Okay, okay," I said. 

I grabbed cleaning supplies. I got down to my knees. 

"Oh god." I hurl. 

"Good luck." Ray said going up the tube.
