I hate clowns!” Brianna yelled playfully, and
Tristen rolled his eyes. My light red hair
swirled around my face in the cool breeze,
and I pushed it behind my ears. We were
about to go inside the so called scariest
haunted house in Michigan. But we were
taking it one step farther, we’re going in
after
it closes.
“Well you will have to get over it, this is a
haunted house, it will have clowns,” Nick
said
stuffing his red hands in his jacket pockets.
The air was colder than usual, and I didn’t
like it.
Brianna pouted, crossing her thin arms
across
her chest. Jacob walked up behind her,
wrapping his strong muscular arms around
her and Brianna smiled. Gosh she was such
a
flirt!
“You guys be quiet!” Jeff hissed at us, he
pushed his wire framed glasses up, and I
saw
a shiver run through his small, thin body.
“We are fine, nobody will catch us,” Jacob
stated smugly, a smirk spreading across his
god like face.
“Maybe your used to breaking into places,
but
I’m not,” Jeff snapped back. My eyes
widened,
I have never heard Jeff talk like that,
especially to Jacob. Jeff, the weakest of the
group, and Jacob, the strongest. I guess
opposites really do attract, otherwise I have
no
idea how to explain how we became best
friends. A big group of misfits, or at least
thats how I saw us.
“How exactly are you getting us in Jacob?
Lily
asked quietly, her hazel eyes taking in our
surroundings. Jacob smirked his world
famous
smirk, and ruffled his short, messy brown
hair.
“I know a guy,” he said mysteriously.
Hayley
laughed, and slapped her knee lightly. I
smiled, I knew what she was thinking. Of
course that’s what he would say. Tristen’s
beautiful green eyes glimmered in
amusement
under his long, dark hair.
“Let’s just go,” muttered Jeff, tilting his
head
to the ground and walking toward the
haunted house….. Well this would be
interesting.
Turns out, the guy Jacob ‘knew’ was just
the
owner, Issac. He kind of gave me the
creeps,
the way there was always a smirk on his
face,
and just how he dressed, he looked like a
sleeze. Jacob gave him fifty bucks to let us
in,
as long as we didn’t make a mess or trash
anything. That man must not know us at all.
This haunted house wasn’t ordinary, it was a
real house, a real big house. Apparently it’s
Issac’s house, every year during Halloween
season, he turns it into a haunted house and
stays in a hotel.
It was a really creepy house too, just from
the
outside. The wood was old and tattered.
The
white paint was already half peeled off, and
underneath was an ugly brown color. The
shutters were hanging half off because the
hinges were so rusty. Black, that was the
color
of the door, I have never seen a black door
before but there it was.
Issac noticed me eyeing the house, and
chuckled slightly, sending a slimy smile my
way.
I just went back to staring at the scary
house.
There was half of a brick chimney, the other
half was in a pile on the dead, brown
grass.
There were a couple windows, but they
looked
boarded up from the inside.
The inside.
“Weird much?” Hayley said under her
breath,
I smiled, trying hard to contain a laugh.
Issac
didn’t leave yet, he was getting things ready
or something, Hayley was right, weird.
“OK, have fun kids,” Issac said. He winked
as
he quickly ran to his beat up Ford Fusion
and
took off as fast as he could. I could see
him
eyeing us out of his review mirror. Brianna’s
eye brows furrowed in confusion, and
Tristen
chuckled lightly, slowly shaking his head.
“That guy is a creep,” Nick annouced,
popping
the collar of his varsity leather jacket he got
from playing football. His light blond hair
just
barely covered his sky blue eyes. Nick was
your average everyday Jock, the kind that
played football, baseball, track and never
got
good grades. Lily has been tutoring him
longer than I can even remember. She had
to
teach him the ABC’s.
“Are you ready?” Jacob asked menacingly,
tightly grasping the door, and pushing it
open.
Brianna hide her eyes in Jacob’s chest,
Hayley’s eyes went wide, and I gasped at
the
sight before me.
Issac was good at his job.
