Hey everyone! I know I said I would update more frequently… but as it turns out I have some mild sleeping disorder, so I'm always tired..go figure. And I had minor food poisoning a couple of days ago. But that's no excuse lol. I was reading over some of the earlier chapters, and I found a lot of mistakes.

Thanks for the reviews everyone! On with the story!
I rushed to get ready for the movies. I looked through my closet as fast as I could, like my life depended on it. I finally chose jean capris and a light green t-shirt with gold glitter words that said "Mess with me I'll mess you up" on it. Libby gave me that shirt for my birthday last year. My next birthday is in about a month…a month…wow…soon I'll be 14. I still don't know what I'm doing for a party, but it will be good.
I looked in the mirror, and brushed my hair. I decided to leave it down. Wow..i've changed a lot. I used to never wear it down…I always was arguing with someone…namely Jimmy…oh yeah, and I was still oblivious to my murderous parents. The sound of the doorbell broke me out of my thoughts, and I raced downstairs…well, more like fell downstairs. I really need to learn to tie my shoes…I opened the door to a snickering Libby.
"Fell down the stairs…again?" She shook her head while giggling.
"Oh please, it's not like you've never done it before" I said, trying not to laugh.
"Ready to go?" She asked me. I noticed she was wearing a blue shirt with music notes all over, and a jean skirt. Her hair was in a half ponytail.
"Yupp." I replied grabbing my money, and giving a reminder to Aunt Linda that I was leaving. "Where are we meeting the guys…and Sara?" I asked
"Inside the theatre. They were dropped off earlier because Sheen's dad had to go to work" She replied as we started walking toward the movie theatre. Should I tell her about the dream? Well that's a stupid question, Cindy, OF COURSE YOU SHOULD TELL HER! She already knows all about everything else, it would be kinda mean to not tell her. Ok, Ok, shut up! Great..i'm having arguments with my mind now. Little did I realize Libby was watching me shake my head in frustration. She looked like she wasn't sure if she should call the asylum or not.
"Uh..are you ok?" She asked nervously.
"Yeah...well...actually, no… I had another dream today, when I took a nap, right before you came." I told her, and her face showed some mixed emotion of excited, happy, and fearful.
"About her?" We both know who 'her' was, she didn't even have to say the name.
"Yeah. It was my parents…well, mom and Jason. And they were talking about how my mom had this friend that could help with everything. She said that he wasn't very smart, and only finished school halfway through, and then dad…erm Jason was arguing that it wasn't possible to drop out of school in sixth grade, and everything, and they got into an argument. I woke up before I could find out who the 'helper' was. Hopefully I'll find out more when I go to sleep, tonight. But in today's dream, my mom also said that 'the helper' was responsible for a lot of the crimes in Retroville." I explained.
"You need to tell Jimmy and the others! Especially Jimmy, he may know who the 'helper' is!" She pointed out. Thanks captain obvious
We got to the theatre, got our tickets, and went to the snack counter. I only wanted a soda, but Libbs got a medium popcorn, Gummi bears, and an Icee. Then we saw everyone else over by the tables.
"Hey guys" I said while giving Jimmy a quick peck on the lips. He only had a soda, too. I guess neither of us was hungry. He put his arm around my waist, and we all headed toward theatre # 12. I could hear Carl and Sara's conversation. They were behind us, holding hands of course.
"Gee, I hope the movie's not too scary." Carl said in a whisper
"Don't worry, Carl, if it is, I'll protect you" Sara reassured him. Isn't it supposed to be the other way around? Well… it's Carl…after all, so nevermind.
We got seats in the middle of the row just as the previews started. They were advertising movies coming out later, like An African Haunting, Pirates of the Bahamas 2, and Rick Locus must Die. Then, finally, the theatre lights dimmed, and the opening credits came on. The title, DAWN OF THE HEAD flashed in bloody letters across the screen, and there was a shrieking sound in the background. Carl was already curled up next to Sara, with his hands over his eyes. What a baby
The story started out like any normal horror movie, kind of introducing the charactors. There was your Nerd, the average plain-jane, the slut, and of course, the 'i'm-too-cool-for-a-lame-house-like-this jock.
The movie went on, and they were in the house, and weird things started happening. I snuggled up to Jimmy and he put his arm around me. Then a familiar voice whispered in my ear
"Have you told him?" She asked
"Chill, Libbs, I'll tell them all at the Candy bar" I whispered back, and turned my attention to the movie again. The slut had just got her head cut off. Well, att least she went fast, unlike the poor nerd. He was alive for most of his slicing. Carl was a mess by now. Next time, were going to a comedy
Soon, the movie was over and we all got up.
"Everyone still want to go to the Candy Bar?" Sara asked us. Everyone replied with a yes, except Carl, who we had to convince there wasn't any headless zombies behind the counter with Sam.
We entered the Candy Bar, and sat down in one of the booths near the door. I scanned the opposite side of the restaurant to see if anyone else was there, and something caught my eye. 4 tables down, sat Nick Dean, looking straight at me. He was sitting with some basketball player from our school. I think he was number 11. Woops, I guess we lied...there are zombies at the Candy Bar. I scooted closer to Jimmy. Libby was the only one who noticed my 'panic' I guess you could call it, because she turned around, too. When she turned back to face me, she gave me a gagging signal and I chuckled a little. Jimmy must have noticed, because he stopped talking to Sheen, looked in Nick's direction, and pulled me a little closer. Sheen also looked back and saw Nick, and attempted to crack his knuckles. Yeah, attempted. Geez, way to turn this into a huge scene, Cindy. Everyone but Carl was aware of Nick. Even Sara. We ordered 3 banana splits. Why only 3, you ask? To share, of course. That's the best part about banana splits. It was only us, and Nick and his friend. The rest of the place was empty, probably because it closed in an hour and a half.
"Hey, everyone, Cindy has something to tell you." Libby announced, and gave me a look. Everyone's eyes were on me.
"Uh…uh…wha…oh yea, um I had another dream today" I told them all about it. When I was finished, Jimmy looked like he was deep in thought.
"Did you say the 'helper' only finished half of school?" He asked.
"Yeah, why, do you know who he is?"
"No, I don't think so. I was just wondering." He replied. Liar. LIAR LIAR LIAR!
Soon the banana splits got there, and we started eating. I didn't like sharing a banana split with Jimmy, he kept trying to eat most of the banana! I mean does he have no consideration? Haha, just kidding. About the 'I hate sharing a banana split with him part' not the 'he likes to steal my banana' part. Yeah, I had to fight for it. I could feel Nick's jealous glare burning into my face. Pfft, who cares about him anyways?
Ok, I'm done with this chapter! You will probably get more clues to the 'helper' in the next chapter, where there will be a new dream. Review! I will update as soon as possible! I have all of my major packing done (for moving) so that won't get in the way, but we have to paint soon, so I'll try to update before then. Ugh..i don't feel good. I think I ate too many cherries…well, Thanks for reading everyone!
Xoxo
