Chapter One

"Hey. Hey. Hey. Izzy. Izzy. Izzy. Tri. Tri. Tri. Tri." With every word, April O'Neil would poke my left arm while I lay on my right on my bright green couch in my two-story house. I groan, trying to wake up fully.

"What, April?" She stops poking me as I raise my head.

"I got the movies!" My best friend dumps her bag on me, DVDs, VHS, and old films spilling out.

"Wow, thanks. I've always wanted dumped on," I mutter under my breath.

"You wanna watch one now?"

"Sure," I sigh. "Um…." I look through the mountain of DVDs. "How...about...this one?" I pull up a copy of Thir13en Ghosts so she can see the screaming face on the cover.

"O-okay." I put the disk in the player, and sit next to April as the screen for my Scar-13 pops up. Yes, I invented a TV, so what?

About a million screams later…

"That was cool, right April?" I look over to her spot.

She's gone!
