The next day at lunch I ask Charlie and Carrie if they could come over for the night and hang out. Soon enough, I regret asking that. Not five minutes later we end up picking then to go check out the graveyard. "At night? Are you insane?!" I say, a little too loudly. People look over as I shamefully sit back down in my seat.

"Why not? This is the perfect opportunity to see what's in there." Charlie says.

"But, come on. At night? What if we get caught? What if we die?" I ask, more than a little scared.

"While you guys argue about this graveyard thing, I'm going back to class- I have a project to finish." Carrie said, exasperated.

"See ya"

"Yea, bye" I said, deflated. She was my only chance of getting out of this. "Okay, fine. But we need to plan this out more. We can decide the details after we get back to my house" I say as Charlie and I head back to our classes.

"So, when are we going to go?" Charlie asked, exited.

"How about midnight?" Carrie replied. "We could wait until Bethany's parents are asleep and then go check it out."

"They won't care if we go somewhere. We can go now while it's still daylight." I said, shaking slightly.

"Really? Your mom wouldn't freak if she knew where we were going?" Carrie asked, confused. That's what I was counting on...

"Why are you asking her that? You know her mom would have a fit."
