In The Closet

August 19th, 2011 – Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, Canada

"Come on!" I yelled, taking my best friend's wrist. I held in my other hand the movie Holes.

"Why are we in such a rush?" Jaycee, my best friend, asked.

"Because," I answered, stopping and turning to Jaycee. "I read on Fanfiction, a Sandlot fanfic, which these 2 girls with OUR names watched The Sandlot so many times in a row that their 4 favorite characters showed up in the one girl's closet. Maybe that would happen to us!"

Jaycee laughed briefly. "I sincerely doubt that."

"You'll see! You'll see!" I yelled. "Come on!"

"I'll gloat when you're wrong!" Jaycee yelled. "Race you!"

Jaycee took off running and I ran after her. I soon caught up and pulled up ahead of her. We ran past the mall and down my street. I ran onto my front lawn and collapsed, trying to catch my breath.

"Tired!" I said. Jaycee held out her hand and I took it then she helped me up. We walked into my house. "Hey Mama, can Jaycee sleep over, thanks!"

I said that really quickly and we ran down into the basement. You see, I live in the ritzy Sunningdale area. Everything was nice. There were 2 guest bedrooms, my sister Laney's bedroom, and my bedroom down in the basement. I had a queen bed in my room and each of the guest rooms had 2 double beds. My bed had a bed underneath it that you could pull out. As I said before, each guest room had 2 double beds. They also had a closet, a desk, and a flat screen TV up on the wall. In each closet were clothes for teenagers; one side with boy's clothes and the other side with girl's clothes. My 19-year-old brother, Luke, went to college parties a lot since he's 21. He was always the designated driver and whenever party-goers got drunk Mama let them crash in one of the guest rooms. They wore the clothes Mama put in the closet when they left our house. We always replaced them. Jaycee and I went into my room. I turned on my flat screen TV that was directly across the room from my bed. The DVD player was built into the TV so I opened the case and put in the movie. Laney, who is 13, ran in.

"Can I come in?" she asked. "Hi Jaycee!"

"Hi Laney!" Jaycee answered, pulling the bed from underneath my bed out and sitting on it. The Holes DVD menu came on.

"Ooh, you're watching Holes!" Laney squealed. "Can I watch? I LOVE this movie!"

"Sure, come on, sit here." I answered, moving over. Laney sat beside me. Laney is a spitting image of my mom: wavy brown hair, chocolate eyes, flawless skin, etc. Except Laney has pink and blue braces and the tiniest bit of freckles. I look more like Luke: blue eyes and blonde hair. I have the tiniest bit of acne, but that's going away. My friends all say skinny as hell. Jaycee looks like an older Laney. We're both 16. I took the DVD remote and pressed play.

3:30 A.M

We kept replaying the movie over and over and over. We even came up with nicknames for us. I'm Fuse, Jaycee is Spark, and Laney is Blaze all for one reason. It starts with a Spark (Jaycee pisses me off), then with a Fuse (I get mad and start yelling at and hurting Jaycee), and ends with a Blaze (Laney breaks us up). Laney and Jaycee fell asleep and I was just getting there when I heard a bump coming from my walk-in closet. Actually, it was more like a crash. Like someone crashing to the floor. A thump occurred.

"Ow!" a voice cried. "Squid get off me!"

Squid? I thought.

"Twitch, get yo head away from there!" a different voice yelled. The 2 voices had deep Tennessee accents. I sat up and quickly brushed my hair. If there were people in the closet, I needed to be presentable.

I slightly pushed Blaze. "Blaze."

She didn't budge. "Blaze."

I pushed her off the bed and she landed on Spark. "BLAZE, WAKE UP!"

The people in the closet went silent.

"Oh shit, someone's outside." A voice from the closet whispered.

"Who the hell is in the closet?" Spark demanded.

"How should I know? It could be a robber or a serial killer." I replied. Spark got really scared and grabbed a baseball bat. I rolled my eyes. Blaze got a hockey stick. Yes, I like sports. We walked slowly to the closet and I pulled open the door. Inside were three dirty boys in orange jumpsuits. They screamed then we screamed.

"EVERYBODY SHUT UP!" I yelled. We all fell silent. "What the hell are you guys doing in my closet?"

"How should we know?" the cute one with crazy blonde hair asked. I squinted my eyes then screamed with delight. I backed up with my hands over my mouth. The blonde one was Zigzag from Holes. The other 2 boys were Twitch and Squid.

Blaze squealed. "Oh my god!"

She had a major crush on Twitch. Spark looked dumbfounded.

"Spark, that's Zigzag, Twitch, and Squid!" I said.

"No way! NO WAY!" she screamed. Spark had the biggest crush on Squid. I had a gimungo crush on Zigzag. Spark fainted into my arms then quickly regained consciousness.

"You're really…you!" she gasped, looking at Squid.

Squid looked at me like Help!

"Don't mind her. When she obsesses over something, she does the same reply." I said. Spark was hyperventilating and beaming uncontrollably.

"Spark, calm. Calm down. He's just a person." Blaze said.

"Yeah…yeah, just a person. A person whose fricking HOT!" Spark yelled. Squid looked at me again. I laughed, embarrassed.

"Sorry." I apologized. Spark started hyperventilating again.

"Go sit down, Wheezy." Blaze said, pushing Spark down. She landed on her bed.

I pointed to my bed. "Sit."

The three boys quickly shuffled over to my bed and sat down in the order Twitch, Zigzag, and then Squid. Squid had his jumpsuit around his waist and a yellow t-shirt with the number 34 on it. He had a bandana tied around his head with his hat over top of that and had a toothpick in his mouth. Zigzag also had his jumpsuit tied around his waist with a white tank top. Twitch had his jumpsuit on normally with his red and black visor on backwards. I paced in front of them.

"How did you get here?" I asked. Blaze stood behind me with her arms crossed.

"We have no idea." Squid answered.

"Mom sent us to get a cot for the new kid from the Wreck Room closet and then the room started spinning." Zigzag added. "I landed first and Squid landed on me. It hurt, too."

"Well, sorry, I didn't plan on falling into a random girl's closet!" Squid yelled. "Then Twitch landed on me!"

Squid hit Twitch upside the head. I grabbed the bat and pointed it at them.

"No fighting unless you want this cracked on your heads!" I exclaimed. The boys immediately shut up.

"Alright…now…we have no idea how to send you back so you'll crash here until we do." Blaze spoke up. I nodded and Spark screamed.

"Spark…" I said in a warning voice, pointing the bat at her. Spark looked down.

"First of all, tell us your names." Blaze said.

"I'm Squid, that's Twitch, and that's Zigzag." Squid replied.

"Alright, Squid and Zigzag will sleep in the room beside mine and Twitch will get the room beside Blaze's." I said. "Blaze."

Blaze left the room, followed by Twitch.

"Zigzag, Squid follow me." I said. "Spark, you stay here."

I glared at Spark then left the room, followed by Squid and Zigzag. I walked into the guest bedroom beside mine and turned on the light.

"Squid, you sleep there, Zigzag you sleep there." I said, pointing to the bed by the door and then to the bed that was by the desk. They walked into the room.

"Hey, why was that girl obsessing over me?" Squid asked.

"It's a movie." I answered, leaning against the door.

"What's a movie?" Zigzag asked.

"Uh…" I said. "SPARK, GET IN HERE AND BRING THE MOVIE!"

"DANI, WHAT'S GOING ON DOWN THERE?" Mama demanded from upstairs.

"GO AWAY, MAMA, I'M BUSY!" I yelled to her.

Spark ran in with Holes and handed it to me. "Here"

I threw the movie to Zigzag and he caught it.

"Watch it." I said, then leaving. I had to push Jaycee out of the room and then I shut the door and turned off the light.

That was a pretty sucky chapter, but hey! It's a new story! And please, no hate reviews or PM! I dun like it. K, bye!
