Ch. 4: Halloween Horror Nights (Prt. 1)

(Friday: October 31st, 2008)

We planned on leaving the house around 7 o'clock or so. Andrea, Allison, and I got ready quickly. My aunt warned us that it was going to be chilly, so I put on the new red V-Neck long sleeve I got back in Toronto. I didn't heed her warning entirely though- I put on my short, puffy ruffled black skirt.
I ran downstairs and put on the new black oxford heels I had bought in Toronto as well, Andrea came up behind me.

"You sure you don't want to put on converse or something? You might need to put on something you can run comfortably with." She was trying to mock me.
I scoffed playfully, "Oh please it can't be that freakishly scary."

She laughed.

-----------------

The car was moving pretty quickly. My aunt grew up in Venezuela, so the speed she was at was pretty normal for her: 20 mph above the speed limit.
Joyous
I fidgeted with my seatbelt, and turned to Andrea and Allison.

"Do you guys go to Halloween Horror Nights every year?"

"Nah," Andrea began, "We just started last year. So I guess if we keep this up we will. It's pretty cool- I'm sure you'll like it, unless you're scared easily." She grinned.

I gave her a flick on the shoulder, "I'm not afraid of ANYTHING!"

"Oh yeah!" she began to mock me, "Suuuure, girl-who's-afraid-of-green-jelly!"

"HEY! That stuff is NASTY!"

"How do you know? You've never tried it."

"Yeah well I don't feel like eating something resembling to snot."

Allison giggled, "If you're snot is that green I think you need to see a doctor."

"Yeah yeah whatever. How about you two jump into a pool of green jelly?"

Andrea sneered, "How about I will!" she put her hand on her chest in a valiant way, "I'm not afraid of green jelly." She poked me on the head, "It might even be fun!"

"Bleck!" I said, crinkling my nose.

-----------------

The car stopped.

"Okay girls," my aunt turned around to face us, "We're here. Since it closes at 2am, I won't be awake to pick you up. So take a taxi alright?"

"Okay mom!" Both Andrea and Allison replied.

My aunt faced me, "You have fun okay? Stick with Andrea and Allison."

"Will do." I smiled at her, and opened the car door.

The three of us got out of the car and waved goodbye to the car. We headed to the entrance of Halloween Horror Nights.
The line was pretty long.

-----------------

When we entered, it was already pretty dark. I looked up at the sky, then took out my phone to check the time: 7:40pm.

"We're gonna be here for a while." I exclaimed.

"Yeah," Andrea turned to me as the three of us were walking down the path, then looked at my phone to see the time as well, "About six hours!"

Allison jumped up, "This is gonna be so much fun!"

Andrea stopped, and her face looked surprised, "Oh my gosh! I almost forgot, we need to meet up with Jack and his buddies!" She took out her phone and started to dial.

I leaned towards Allison, "Who's Jack?"

"Oh he's just Andrea's boyfriend. He's nice I guess. He's a preppy jock but he hangs out with a lot of skaters and punk kids, but, Andrea and I don't really know any of them. We only know Aaron."

"Oh."

Andrea closed her phone and came closer to us, "That was Jack. He said he was around The Mummy ride."

We were walking, then, suddenly, a guy with a chain saw came running up to me. My whole body went stiff as a stick, hands to my side and knee to knee.

"WHAT THE HELL!?"

Andrea and Allison were laughing hysterically.

"Bahahaha! It's okay Courtney," Andrea put her hand on my shoulder, "It's their job they have to try and scare you."

I looked around and noticed that there were so many guys like him around: chain saws, bloody faces- the whole deal. I squinted and looked ahead; there was the mummy ride.

"Oh." I sighed with slight relief, yet sarcasm came out, "GREAT." I gotta admit though, it was pretty funny. I smiled a bit.

I couldn't help but walk a little closer to Andrea and Allison. I shifted my eyes and head around making sure there weren't any scare-ers around. But this only made them notice me more. Almost every scare-er we passed had tried to scare me. It happened so many times, that I wasn't as timid as I was in the beginning. I was beginning to enjoy myself even more.

"Guys! I need to piddle." Allison legs were fidgeting against each other.

"Um... piddle?" I was laughing now.

Andrea leaned her hand on me, laughing too, "Yeah that's just her way of saying piddle."

"Wait for me okay?" Allison ran into the bathroom.

Andrea and I were sitting on a bench that was in front of the bathroom. It was kind of a no-talker between us for a bit, but she broke the silence in attempt to get rid of the awkwardness.

"So…" she began.

I turned to face her, my lips were pursed and I rocked my head, "So…"

"Do you like it here so far?"

I smirked, "Well considering I haven't really seen Orlando for what it is, and we're in a horror themed park right now, it's a little creepy."

She giggled softly, "Yeah you're right, but, I'm sure you'll get a real taste of Orlando once you start school here."

"Yeah- I'm sure you're right."

Andrea's head shot to her left, standing up quickly and running towards that direction, "JAAAAAAAAAAACK!"

WELL. I wonder if Andrea's boyfriend is here, I said to myself sarcastically.

I stood up and was about to follow Andrea. She was running towards a freakishly tall blonde guy. His hair was wavy- it did that surfer-guy-kind-of-thing. He was wearing baggy shorts, a blue sweatshirt with the letters "EHS" printed on them, (Must be Edgewater High School, I thought to myself) and brown sandals.
When Allison said punk kids, she meant punk kids.
There were three guys with him: one was bald and an eyebrow ring. He had a grey blazer on, but I managed to see the black shirt with the giant middle finger on the centre of it. He wore slightly baggy black skinny jeans and red converse. The second guy was dirty blonde;he had a piercing too, except on his bottom lip (Oh what a surprise!). He wore a white dress shirt with its sleeves rolled up, and black skinny jeans with converse. He probably looked the most normal out of them all.
I didn't get to see the third one, he was turned around, and all I could see was some red hair. I walked up to them since Andrea had signalled me to come over.

"This is Courtney, my cousin from Toronto," she pulled me closer, "she moved here and she'll be going to our school!"

I smiled awkwardly; meeting new people isn't my best strength. I gave a small wave, "Hi."

"Hey there. Always nice to see a relative of Andrea's," he put out hand in a waving gesture, but he didn't wave it. He put it down back to his side, in his other arm was Andrea wrapped onto it.

A hand came rushing to me to shake it, "Hi, I'm Aaron." It was the dirty blonde guy.

I shook his hand, "Hi…" I couldn't help but smirk a bit; he's kinda cute...

The bald guy pushed him aside a bit, and took my hand and shook it, "I'M Bob," he smirked, "don't let the name get to ya."

"Um… nice to meet you, Bob." I said his name mockingly.

The third guy was still turned around; he was wearing a red T-shirt, black skinny jeans, and red converse from what I could tell.

"HEY GUYYYYYS?!" It was obvious that was Allison. She hadn't noticed where we were.

I turned around out of habit.

"Allison!" Andrea called out to her, signalling her to where we were, "Over here silly!"

Allison turned her view towards us and jumped up, "Oh!" she ran to us.

"Hey Allison let's not get lost now hmm?" I told her.

"Yeah of couuurse! So I see you met Andrea's BOY-FRANNNNN'?!"

I smirked, "Yeah," I turned around as I said, "and his frien- AAAAAHHHHHHH!" I shrieked at the sight.

It was the guy with the red fro hawk. He had really creepy face paint on, "BOO." He tried to scare me, and it worked.

"WHAT THE HELL!?" I recollected myself, and looked straight into his teal blue eyes in shock.

"Hey there…" He gave a large in-your-face smirk, "…Princess."

Words that I was hoping not to hear for a very, very long time had come out of this bizarrely familiar mouth.
