Jade pulled up to her house 3 hours later, with an overexcited Cat in the passenger seat. "A new play!" she giggled "I love plays! But not as much as I love bibble! Oh look! The Zoo is having a wild, weird day! I love being weird and wild!" Jade laughed at her strange logic, and remembered her huge addiction to bubble. "Well unfortunately for you Cat, there's no bibble in within a couple 20 miles of here." She opened the front door, and Cat happily skipped in, singing 'Give it up'.
"So, which part do you want to practise first?" Jade asked.
"I don't know!" Cat wondered.
"Why don't we just start with this page, and see which characters we click with the most?" Jade suggested.
"I mean, there's so many characters! Tiff, Jayden, Andrew, Alexa, Kirsten, Levi, Lauren, Lyle, Pheonix, Vyshali, Zaina, Carys, the list just goes on and on!"

"Jade! I need a rest! My brain just doesn't feel like working anymore!" Cat complained.
"Well, funny that you should say that. Do you want to go for a short walk to clear everything up?" Jade suggested.
"Kaykay!" Cat quickly agreed. Before Jade knew it, Cat had flown downstairs, thrown on her jacket, and was now pulling her through the door. "Let's gooooooo! I haven't ever seen your new neighbourhood! Not since you moved!"
As they walked down the street, Cat noticed something.
"Woah! Look at that house! You never told me that you had such a cool neighbour!"
Jade looked over in her direction and saw that Cat was looking at the neighbour's house. As she dashed over to usher Cat along, a cyclist rode by.
"Hey! Kids! You might wanna stay away from that house! It gives some serious edgy vibes!"
Jade rolled her eyes. 'Stupid hippie' she thought 'Vibes? Seriously? That was the best he could come up with?' She couldn't understand why people were so obsessed with the house. Yes, it was different, but people were drawn to it like moths to a lamp.
You see, the house next door was different to the rest of the houses surrounding it. It stood out in a good way. It wasn't a mansion, but it wasn't a small cottage either. Jade thought it could sell for at least a couple million bucks. It was spacey, chic and even had a small swimming pool. When drive through the neighbourhood, that certain house would always catch their eye. Rumours were often spread about it. People had said that there was secretly a famous celebrity living in it occasionally, lying low after a scandal or bombshell dropped. But people had also said that inside was a whole different story to the exterior. That inside, there was a basement with a whole range of torture devices that would turn even the toughest guy into a quivering mess. But despite these creepy, complex rumours, there would always be a small crowd that would stop by, normally on the way back from school, curiously peering through the heavily tinted windows, trying to see all the secrets that were held inside.
Everytime Jade heard one of the rumours she would scoff. She knew that all the rumours were nowhere near the truth. And how did she know that? Well, that was because Jade had actually gone inside.
