A/N: Okay so, it's like 12:40am over here and I'm bored to death! So here's one of those reading the... stories. But this is on Night of Skulls. I'll update this whenever I can. But one more thing- pretend that TibbiToo is done with the Wedding Crasher because this is set after they read that book. Actually, a few months after they read the Wedding Crasher thats when they get Night of Skulls. Hope you like it.
Disclaimer: I do NOT own Sammy Keyes. Wendelin Van Draanen does and she does a wonderful job at it. And I have to give credit to TibbiToo for giving me this idea. The credit goes to her, so TibbiToo if your reading this, Thank you. :)
Reading the Summary and Prologue
When I woke up this afternoon, I was surprised to see a book at the end of the couch. It was black, orange, and purple. Well, from far away it looked that way. Where did it come from? I don't even think Grams is up yet. I picked it up and gasped.
"Another book about my life..." I groaned, getting up and putting the book down. I guess everyone is gonna wanna read it too. I used the bathroom and brushed my teeth, then I called everyone to meet at the graveyard.
First I called Marissa, she wasn't too thrilled but she agreed and then I called Holly. I didn't expect her to be up at 9 on a Saturday but she was. She agreed instantly, and then I called Billy. Billy made a joke about someone watching me, and I told him to tell Casey that we were meeting at the graveyard.
Me and Casey aren't allowed to talk due to family issues that was blamed on me. But me and Casey meet at the graveyard, after school sometimes, and we just make the most of it. I guess...
I got dressed, left Grams a note, and then quickly scurried to the fire escape along with my backpack with the book inside and some blankets. We met up at the graveyard, but Casey and Billy came late. Apparently, Candi (Casey's mom) wouldn't let him go anywhere so he had to sneak out.
We went in the gate leading to the old part of the graveyard and met at our usual place. I got out the blankets, and set them down. I brought enough blankets,so that we each had one to sit on and one to cover ourselves with. Holly got her own blanket, while me and Casey shared one. Billy and Marissa had to share theirs too.
"Okay, who wants to read first?" I asked, getting right down to business. Holly's hand quickly shot up and I passed the book to her. She studied it for a minute before looking at the inside.
"Do you guys wanna hear the summary too?" Holly asked.
"Yeah, you can read the summary and the prologue." I said anxiously. Everyone else agreed.
"Okay..." She said taking in a deep breath, and letting it out. Then she started to read the summary.
"It's Halloween, and Sammy Keyes and her friends are spooking through the streets of Santa Martina as zombies when they decide to cut through the graveyard.-"
"Why does it say, "Sammy Keyes and her friends"? They should've at least said our names. Who knows what friends the person is talking about..." Billy said, fake angry.
"I'm the main character, so I get my name and you guys get friends." Sammy said sticking her tongue out. "Just kidding, geez. People can't take a joke these days." Sammy added, grumbling.
"Okay then. Continuing..." She cleared her throat and started to read again.
"Zombie's belong in graveyards, right? Not this time. And after being chased by a man wielding as shovel, scared silly by a mummy, and attacked by Heather Acosta, they decide they've had their fill of monsters and head home to eat some candy.-"
"I'm still stuffed!" Billy announced hitting his stomache.
"Holly continue!" I ordered.
"Dang Casey, you've got a feisty one!" Billy grinned. Casey smirked in return. He hadn't really been talking all that much, just me, Holly, and Billy.
"But along with bubble gum and chocolate bars, they discover something frightening in their sacks. Something that's definitely not sweet! Before they know it, Sammy and her friends are following suspicious gravediggers, ghoulish embalmers, and shady undertakers. And someone is following them. It's enough to make a zombie wonder-is a sack full of candy worth this much trouble...?" Holly finished and looked around suspiciously.
"How does this person know so much? Guys maybe we're being stalked!" Marissa blurted out of nowhere.
"Marissa, we're not being stalked. This person must be someone who lives nearby. There's no way someone could stalk us all the time. We're not even near each other twenty four-seven." Holly argued.
"It's just a coincidence..." Billy said.
"Yeah maybe..." Marissa said not wanting to argue with her boyfriend.
"Come on, it's time for the prologue." I said ending their conversation.
"Okay... but no interruptions, until I'm done." She cleared her throat again and started reading.
"I love Halloween. And I'm sorry, but trick or treating is not just for little kids. It's for anyone who likes to dress whacky and tear through neighborhoods in search of free candy. Which definitely includes me and my friends. And since last year was sort of a disaster because my friends and I wound up going into the scariest house in town to put out a fire and discovered a guy inside all bound and gagged and conked over the head, and since we had to deal with police and perpetrators and all of that, I swore that this year we were just going to have a fun, carefree Halloween, where the worst thing that would happen was we'd eat too much candy. But then Billy wanted to cut through the graveyard. And I made the mistake of going along." Holly let out a sigh of relief.
"That was kind of long. I could barely breathe during the last sentence." Holly panted.
"You know all that happened this Halloween, is due to Sammy." Billy declared.
"It was your idea to cut through the graveyard for a shortcut to the haunted house." I protested.
"I still blame you for your crime sloving habits." Billy shot back.
"Well then..." I said, haughtily crossing my arms.
"Ugh, guys stop! Who wants to read next?" Holly asked holding out the book.
"I'll read!" Billy said waving his hand around like a first grader.
"Good luck." Holly murmured as she passed him the book.
A/N: Chapter 1 will come out later on today! Please review... I don't think anyone's reading my stories except the same 4 people! :( At least tell me that it's good so far! Or something..
