I was leaning over the edge of the couch watching Soda and Steve pull up into our driveway and hope out of our rusted pick-up truck with a Wal Mart bag in his hand and a huge smile on his face. Soda and Steve walked in a shut the door loudly behind them.
"Hey little buddy, what's in the bag?" Asked Darry, as he walked down the stairs tucking in his black shirt.
Soda hauled out a brown, what looked like a board game board, with letters, numbers, wired shapes and symbols and other words and a marker with it. He held it up in front of me, but I had no idea what it could be. It looked like an Egyptian version of Monopoly.
"What the hell is it?" Darry asked. Soda laughed for a moment, as if we where suppose to know what it is. Steve just stood there doing nothing. "It's a wigi board you idiots! Haven't you seen a paranormal movie before? He laughed and dropped the board.
"You mean what the stupid teenagers use to get in contact with ghosts and sprits?" I asked as I picked up the board off the floor. "That's it!" He yelled at me, excitedly.
"Why did you buy it?" I asked. I didn't want to know the answer; no one knows what his answer might be.
"I thought maybe get the whole gang together and have a huge séance." He replied. He had to be kidding! He had to! Have séance? Was he out of his mind? No one knows what could happen once you get in contact with the outside world. And not to mention having the whole gang do it too. Johnny would be frightened to death, it wouldn't be fair to him. Not to mention Two-bit, god only knows what kind of questions he could ask it.
Darry didn't say anything, but Soda had a serious and excided look on his face.
"I don't know soda… What if something bad happened?" Darry finally spoke. Soda's face dropped.
"Please Darry!" He begged like a little girl. "Please! Only once, if something happens we can stop right away and I'll get rid of the board, but please? Just once!" He started to pout like Johnny does.
"Fine," Darry caved. Let the gang know we'll do it tomorrow night at eight o'clock." He said.
What? I couldn't believe he said yes. This wasn't going to end good… I could feel it. Soda was pretty excited though. He and Steve ran out the door right away to let the gang know we where doing a séance. I flung myself back on the couch and tried to take a nap before supper, but I was to worried about tomorrow to fall asleep. Something was going to happen, and it won't be good.
It was seven-thirty the next night and everyone was at my house for the séance except Two-bit, but we knew he would be late anyway. Johnny was clinging on to me like he was going to fall off a cliff or something, he wasn't to happy about this, be he wanted to be tuff so he came. Dally thought it was so stupid and that we where wasting our time and Soda was so excited it was unbelievable.
Darry had lit the last candle and put it on the top right-hand corner of the board that was sitting in the middle of the floor. The board had a candle lit on each side, and the marker right in the middle on what looked like the Star of David, but it wasn't. Two-bit walked in and took a seat on the floor next to Dally, he seemed pretty excited too for some reason or another.
"Is everyone ready?" Asked Soda, rubbing his hands together. Small nods and a few 'yeah's' came from all of us and soda turned off the light just leaving the light from the burning candles.
Soda put is left hand on the marker in the middle of the board, then spoke. "Is there anyone there who would like to talk with us tonight?"
