Chapter 1 THE PRANK

October 29th.

"Hey Kat!" I heard Zach calling my name from a distance.

"Huh?" "Oh, Hey." I turned around saying.

"So how are you?" He asks trying to start a conversation.

" Good." I answer him.

"Hey! Two more days till Halloween! And I have it all planned out!" He says shockingly.

"What do you mean?" I ask him all confused.

"Okay, well we are going to stay over night at the Myer's house. You, Me, Chelsea, and Austin." He tells me.

I get excited but then I get scared about the fact we are going to the Myer's house!

"I don't know…" I tell him.

" Come on! I already asked Chelsea and Austin. They said it was great and they are looking forward to it." He goes on.

As he tries to convince me, I think about it.

"Fine. Tonight me and Chelsea will meet you and Austin there. Okay? I want to check it out first." I tell Zach making a deal.

" Great!" He tells me.

We finish walk to school, when I see three jerks acting like Michael Myers. Idiots.

Later that day in math, I am talking to Chess, and Austin. We were supposed to watch a movie but we are in the back, and the teacher was away from the classroom.

"Okay. So… You guess know the plan for tonight, right?" I ask them.

"Huh?" Austin is all confused.

"What are you talking about?" Chess asks me.

" Zach didn't tell you?" I ask.

"What the heck are you talking about?"

"Dang it. Zach told me we were going to the Myer's house on Halloween, over night. Then he said you guys said you wanted to do it." I explain.

"Zach never talked to us about this…" Austin says.

"Yeah…But I want to do it anyway!" Chess screams.

The whole class turns around. We wait till they turn back around.

"Okay… well tonight Zach and Austin was supposed to meet us there, so we can check the place out." I explain to Chess.

"Alright." Austin says trying to pay attention to the movie.

"You KNOW you aren't interested in this movie Austin." Chess says to him.

"Yes I am." He lies.

"Austin. Not your not. We know you." I tell him.

"Ha, I know." He chuckles.

After school Chess come to my house. We are in my room. Chess is watching some cooking show and keeps laughing at it. I'm trying to finish my homework.

"Chess…" I tell her.

"Huh?" She asks.

"SHUT UP." I say kidding, but also serious.

"Oh I'm sorry. That I finish my homework in school!" She says.

"Ugh." I moan.

I finish my homework and shut off the TV. You cant hear nothing but little kids outside. because my window was open. The sunshine was in my room so much I was almost blind.

"We are supposed to meet Austin and Zach at the Myer's house at 9:30." I tell Chess.

"Okay… Well what time is it now?" She asks.

"like 7." I answer.

"So? We have a lot of time!" She yells.

"Yeah, but we have to eat dinner, and we also need to work on our science project!" I yell higher.

"Stop yelling at me!" She screams.

"Ow… My ears hurt now… THANK TO YOU." I scream.

"okay let's stop…"

"Yeah…" I agree.

After we finished every and it was 9:30. We start walking to the Myer's house.

"Crap. We are late!" Chess says walking.

"Yeah, I know!" Like 15 minutes late! It's almost ten!" I sigh.

"Okay well here we are." Chess says.

We walk in and the door is open.

"Hello?" Chess screams.

"CHESS! Be quiet! People are gonna think Michael is here and killing someone!" I whisper loudly.

"Oh…." She murmured.

"Yeahhhh!" I whisper loudly again.

"Hello? Sorry we are late." I say.

"Hello? Anybody home?" Chess said and runs to a wall and knocks on it.

I tap Chess on the shoulder and point to the stairs. We begin to walk up the stairs and every step was a loud cracking noise. We get to the tip and turn my head and see a dark shadow. I couldn't see anything. It was tall and just all black. I tap Chess's shoulder again and we walk towards where I saw the shadow. We go into some bedroom that had tons of toys and a cage for a hamster or something. All the pictures were cracked, and the bed was made perfectly. I walk towards the bed. I hear the closet open suddenly. Me and Chess both turn to it at the same time. And we look at each other. Chess walks to the closet and looks in it. All I could see is blackness. I head screaming and I suddenly see a guy in a black jumpsuit and a white mask pop out on her. Then I feel something on my leg, I look down and I suddenly fall to the floor! I was getting pulled under the bed! I kick at the person who was pulling on my leg and turn at them. I see the same white mask as the other guy.

Chess rips the mask off the guy who scared her half to death and she paused and stared. She realizes who it was.

"ZACH!" She screams.

The guy who was pulling on my leg let go and came out from under the bed. So did they. He took off the mask and I saw it was AUSTIN.

"AUSTIN! ZACH!" I scream.

"What the heck were you guys doing?" Chess yelled.

"Pulling a prank!" Zach says.

"Not funny!" I scream.

"Come on!" Zach says.

"Hahahahahahahahahaha! Funny! Oh, I'm DYING." I say sarcastically.

"You have no sense of humor!" Austin says.

"Yeah we do! Shut up!" Chess screams.

I storm out of the room and Chess follows. We run down the stairs. Austin and Zach run after us and stop at the stairs. Me and Chess grab our bags and get ready to leave.

"Come on! It was a joke!" Austin yells so we can hear him.

"It wasn't funny Austin!" Chess yells back.

"Oh come on Chelsea!" Zach says.

"I agree. That was over the top guys!" I say.

"See!" Chess yells.

"Ugh!" Zach says.

Zach starts to run down the stares and Austin follows.

"That wasn't funny how you pulled me under the bed, or how you chasing Chess all over the room. Or how you led us into that old bedroom but making me think I saw a 'shadow" I scream.

"Wait… huh?" Austin says.

"We stayed in the bedroom the whole time. We got here at 8:30 and got ready. The whole entire time we stayed in the bedroom." Zach says.

"Stop trying to scare us! Gig is over!" Chess screams.

"We aren't! We are telling the truth!" Austin yells.

"Guys, Really?" I ask.

"Yes! I'm not kidding!" Zach yells.

"Then who was it!"Chess screams.

Zach was about to answer, but then there was a huge crash coming from the bedroom.

"What was that!" I whisper loudly.

I was scared as heck and my heart was pounding hard.

"Let me guess, you forgot something in there."

"No… Everything we have is in my car." Zach says.

"Lets get out of here. NOW." I scream.

"Yeah! Let's go!" chess says.

We start walking out.

"Hey, let me drive you guys home, least I can do." Austin says.

Zach starts mumbling under he's breath.

"Dude? You okay?" Austin asks.

"Yeah." Zach answers.

"Thanks." I answer.

"Hey, you want to stay over night?" I ask Chess.

" I would, but I can't. My mom said no sleepovers this week!" She said with a weird voice.

"But you are staying over tomorrow night, AND the night after." I said.

"I know! It's so stupid!" She says laughing.

"Ha, Wow." I reply.

"Yep, so…"Chess Says.

"Okay, well let's go!"
