Town was busy as always. People rushing around like maniacs, and getting some practice when it comes to scaring. I kept a close eye out for the moores, but couldn't see over the gigantic people. I had to get higher up to see over them. I searched for a tree to climb, or a building I could watch from when I noticed Nick skellington looking at me. I looked in his direction and his eyes darted back to what he was doing. It was a little strange, but I dismissed it.
I found a small building with a dangerous looking ladder along the side. The ladder looked as if it was going to Collapse, but I saw no other way up the building. I reluctantly started to climb up, as it made many strange noises under my feet. I reached the top, thankful to be on solid ground, and looked down to see if I could spot Ashton, or possibly his parents. They weren't in sight, but this was the only place really were I could see practically the whole town, so I got comfy.
I saw Nick skellington once again, but this time he didn't see me. He was leaning on a wall facing the busy street, looking over people's heads. I started to think about how I had caught him staring at me... Why? But then it hit me. He couldn't have given me pie... Could he? I wouldn't think he would care, really. Not enough to buy an expensive pie for a stranger. Expesually if that stranger was someone like me. No, I'm being to outrageous. He probably wasn't intending to look at me anyways.
Just then, I spotted Ashton heading towards Nick. They met up, and started walking towards the cemetery. I have to follow him, see if he would tell nick anything about this task he would be performing tonight. They were best friends, so I wouldn't be surprised if he would spill some if his secrets to him. I tried to get down the rusty ladder and through the crowd as fast as I could, but it wasn't as easy as I had thought. I headed for the cemetery, being quiet and looking out for any sign of the two. I herd a voice in the distance, and darted up a nearby tree to see if I could spot them. I searched as best I could while trying to stay out of sight. I spotted them, slouching on two decently sized pumpkins. I strained my ears to hear what they were saying.
"I tried texting you all day yesterday! Why didn't you answer?"
"My dad took my phone for skipping school. I don't get it back until after halloween."
"Oh. Well, did you want to come over to my place? I got the new halloween scream album and its wicked!"
"I thought that didn't come out until next month..." Nick suspiciously said.
"Er... My dad knows a guy who got me the first copy. Come on, lets go."
"I don't know, I have to get back soon. I'm supposed to be grounded."
"Oh come on, I will have you back before they notice you're gone!"
"Ok, fine."
They started back towards town again. Ashton seemed eager to get Nick to his place... THere's no way he would set his own friend up, right? He couldn't betray him. But he didn't tell him anything about tonight, and yesterday his parents seemed to want Ashton to get whatever he was supposed to do done quickly. I had a bad feeling about this.
