Chapter 3: Talking to Grams

(Sammy's POV)

I dropped my backpack on the ground and flopped onto the couch.

"Grams, you there?" You asked and got up off the couch.

"Yes, Samantha, I'm in my room." She answered. I opened the door and walked in. Grams was sitting on her bed looking through a box of old pictures.

"What's all this." I asked.

"Just some pictures from when I was young." Grams said and chuckled to herself as she looked at another picture.

"Hey, Grams, can I ask you some thing?" I asked.

"Yes, what is it?" Grams asked looking up from her pictures.

"Can I go camping Saturday night?" I asked. It wasn't technically camping but what was I supposed to say, "Hey, Grams, can I go spend the night in a haunted house Saturday night?" I don't think she would go for that. She thought about this for a minute.

"Who's going?" grams asked suspiciously.

"Oh, just Marissa, Dot, Holly…" I trailed off hoping Grams would accept that without asking questions. Grams crossed her arms.

"Sammy…" she said warming me.

"Alright!" I said. "Danny, Billy, and Casey are coming too."

"Sammy..." she sighed. "I don't think it would be proper to-" Proper? I thought. Since when did I care about being proper?

"I don't even like any of them!" I said defensively, throwing my hands up in the air. Grams stared at me and raised one eye brow.

"What about that Acosta boy?" she asked. I could feel myself turning red.

"Ugh, Grams!!" I said.

Grams hesitated and then said, "Alright, Samantha, you can go. But be careful. When will you be back?"

"Probably by Sunday afternoon." I answered. Grams nodded and I went to call Marissa.

"Hello?" Marissa said.

"Hey, Marissa, it's Sammy." I said. "Could you call everyone and tell them that we'll meet outside the Old Thompson House around 8 o'clock Saturday night."

"Sure, I can do that." Marissa said.

"Thanks, bye!" I said and was about to hang up when she said something.

"But you're calling Casey." She added.

"What? Why?" I asked. "Can't you just call him?"

"Nope!" Marissa said in a determined voice. "You're calling him and that's final!" And she hung up.

"Ugh! Marissa!!" I huffed and slammed down the phone.
