Last Time: Christy smiled weakly, as they made their way around toward the front of the house. As she complained to John about her 'girlish behavior', she spotted a small light emitting from the forest.

"Hey what's that?"


As they walked toward it, they noticed that it was a cigarette. Hunters joint. With him, were Stacy, Randy, Maria and Candice. They hadn't seen John or Christy yet, however.

"Typical," John said, as they walked away.

"I don't see what they get out of that…what do you think would happen if the teachers found out?"

"Probably expulsion…so what do you wanna' do now?" He asked.

"John, what I want is to talk. I mean, I know you were going to say something that time at school…now is a good a time as any, right? Can't we just…"

"Christy, Christy. We can talk, ok?" He told her, grinning. "Where do you wanna do it?"

Christy was shocked at his renewed willingness, and pointed to the large Ferris wheel.

They walked down the hill, and joined the queue. They waited for five minutes, until the ride stopped to let them on.

"Hope you're not scared of heights," John teased, as they waited for their seats to rotate.

Christy laughed, as they both sat down on the Ferris wheel. It jolted upward, and began to rotate slowly.

"Sooo, what did you have on your mind?" He asked.

Christy gave him a deadly look. How could he ask that, when he's been playing mind games this whole time?

"Uh, well…let's start with everything. I know you want to tell me something…"

John scratched the back of his neck.

"Ok. Well…ok. Ok," John said, looking down.

Christy was getting restless, and began to swing her feet over the long drop in front of her. They were almost at the top.

"Christy…I…ugh," he gave a sigh, and looked at her.

What the hell is wrong with him? He never hesitated before…

"Well…Christy, I just wanted to tell you that I really…enjoy the friendship that we have."

Christy blinked, and waited for him to continue to say what he was saying. When he didn't speak, she looked forward.

"Oh. Well…that's…that's good," she said, forcing herself to hide her disappointment. "Is that…all?"

John nodded, and grinned at her. He looked forward too.

"So you've been trying to get me alone to tell me that…you enjoy our friendship?" She asked, her voice rising with incredulity.

"Well, yeah. Did you expect something else?"

Christy looked at him. His face definitely showed he was hiding something. He just didn't want to admit it.

"John, come on. I know that you've got something else to tell me. Torrie…and Jackie, they've said that you…"

John looked at her. He looked slightly angry, and it scared her.

"That I what, Christy?"

His tone was firm and harsh. It shocked her, and she didn't answer.

"Huh? What am I 'sposed to tell you, since Jackie and Torrie know everything?"

Christy opened her mouth. He was trying to avoid the question. Trying to turn the spotlight on her.

"John, I-"

"Look, just forget it."

He turned away from her. Christy frowned. She wasn't going to take this.

"John, I know you have something to say! So why don't you just spit it out for all our sakes?"

He flicked his head toward her, and glared. Christy had never seen him like this.

"There's nothing else to say," he replied, laughing slightly. There seemed to be something slightly maniacal about his laugh.

Christy felt her eyes start to sting, and looked away from him. He was silent too.

They had reached the top of the Ferris wheel. Christy closed her eyes, and felt a tear slip out. She was desperate to get off this stupid moving mechanical object. Desperate to get away from John. Why was he acting like this?

Her thoughts were interrupted by a loud scream, which came from below. She opened her eyes, and looked over the hand rail.

People were running everywhere, screaming and shouting. It was a complete mess. Chaotic. Then, out of the corner of her eye, she spotted a bright light. She followed it with her eyes, and saw that one of the carnival buildings was engulfed in flames. It was the house of horror.
