Yeah, I get that the plot isn't all that visible at this point, but hold on. We're getting there.

CHAPTER 5

(Alice)

My dad dropped me off and waited for Mrs and Mr Wilson to come out. A girl my age greeted me at the door. "You must be Alice. I'm Haylee." she told me about getting my stuff, and dinner and her dog, Laika. She says it's Russian for barker, and it's the name of the first animal in space. Laika (or at least Haylee's Laika) is even cuter than Joe's dog, Lucy. I pet her whenever I go over to his house, which is a lot now that his dad is the sheriff and my dad is in rehab.

" And Elle said that we could invite people over, and she said it was a girls only sleepover."

"I guess we can't invite the guys. They are sleeping over at Joe's."

She laughed a little bit "Not exactly. She said it was a girls only SLEEPOVER. The guys can come over as long as they don't sleep over." We decided to invite 3 of my close friends to sleep over, and just invite the guys over. Rebecca, Jennifer and Kristen(their full names) all came over, and we got my stuff. We forgot to lock the door, but it wasn't a problem so we didn't want to tell Mrs Wilson about it since she would have a fit. Then, Haylee dialed Joe's number. And he picked up.

(Charles)

It was a little after 10 when the phone rang. I picked it up since I was closest. It was Haylee, inviting us the her house for a bit. I handed it to Joe, and I guess Alice was at her house since that's who he talked to. He accepted and got directions. Not that it was far, it was three houses over and on the other side of the road. We each took a flashlight and locked the door behind us. We walked over to Haylee's house silently, and Cary was the one to knock in the door
