A/N: NEW STORY ANNOUNCEMENT! So I had an idea for a new story that I may or may not write while I write this one.

Coffee and Cigarettes: Yes there will be pairings and this one takes place during their Senior year of High School. Antoinette and her friends are graduating and will soon be going their separate ways. Last minute secrets will be reviled.

Will I write this? Thats for you to decided if you want to see what happens to them or not :D

Three months and two weeks was all it took for Antoinette to finally settle into her new life and she was now loving every minute of it. Since the pizza party at Theresa's house, Antoinette had become close friends with Randy (Not as close as Howard however) and was now a member of the unofficial twirl team (More like uses it as an excuse to hang out with her best female friend every day of the week). The only thing that hadn't changed however, was her relationship with a certain goth.

"And that is why Jack the Ripper i-" The sound of a throat being cleared cut off Julian before he could finish his history report. "I am sorry, but have you anything to add Twit?"

Antoinette, who had previously been leaning on her hand, looked up and straightened herself out, a wide smile was present on her lips.

"Oh, why nothing. I have nothing to add." She said sarcastically as she let her arms drop back to the table. "I only find it amusing how you manage to talk so highly of a murderer."

"Does this have anything to do with your report being about one of Jack's many victims?" Julian asked knowingly as he lowered his report paper a bit.

"Nothing of the sort." She said, doing a near flawless impression of his voice, except the obvious point of it being female.

The teacher, Miss. Flemings, watched the two in slight amusement, having already gotten used to their silly banters.

"Then why did you insist on interrupting me?" He asked, though no a days he would call her out on even blinking funny, let alone clearing her throat

"I don't, I simply dislodged a loge from my throat." She said with a laugh as the two smiled and one another just as the bell rang to dismiss the class.

"That explanation is a loge and you know it." Julian remarks as the girl jumped from her desk and began to pack up her things.

"Hardly." She retorted with a loud laugh. "I swallowed my gum funny and had to cough it up."

"Very well my little Twit. I believe you then." He said with a roll of the eyes as he bopped her nose.

"You better my Cobalt Blue." Antoinette shot back the silly nickname, dubbing it due to that being the color of his eyes, as she handed him the history book she had been holding. "Oh yeah, heres your history book."

"I am glad that it helped you with you report." Julian said as he walked out of their class and went down the hall to his next one, leaving Antoinette in the hall.

"Hey Toni!" Randy's voice sounded next to the girl's ear. "Are you ready for this years 'SCHOOL CAMP-OUT!?'"

"Gah! Randy! I think you blew my ear out!" Antoinette exclaimed in mock terror as she held her ears.

"Sorry Tone. But again, are you ready for this weeks SCHOO-" The purple haired male was cut off by the dark skinned girl clapping a hand over his mouth.

"Yes. Yes Randy." She said almost breathlessly and yet also boredom as she thought over all of the bugs she would have to flick off of her skin when they went. "But it isn't much of a camp-out for me saying as how the 'camp-grounds' ARE IN MY BACKYARD!"

She broke out into laughter as Randy patted her back in his own amusement and Howard soon joined them in their laughter, even though he had no idea what they were laughing about.

"So anyway girl, THIS IS GONNA BE AWESOME!" Randy cried as he swung the sleeping bag he randomly brought to school.

"Ghost stories, and smores, and all the pranks we can pull off!" Howard laughed as he swung around a bar of chocolate in a similar fashion as Randy.

"Yeah yeah, I hear ya." Antoinette muttered as she rolled her eyes and walked towards the school's chemistry lab, the only class she and Randy seemed to share that Howard didn't.

"Come on Toni, how come your not Totally pumped for this?" Randy asked, sounding a tad disappointed as he stood in the way of the labs door.

"Camping just doesn't appeal to me as much I guess." Antoinette said simply but then muttered "Plus I've never gone before..." as she tried to shove her way into the room.

"Wait, what?" Randy asked suddenly as he fell back from a particularity hard shove from the girl. "No seriously. Didn't hear ya."

"You've never been camping!?" Howard exclaimed loudly, informing his friend and half of the school of what she had said and slapped his cheeks in surprise. "Well girl we gotta get your camp on now! To prepare you for tomorrow!"

And with that the boy's ran in the direction of their respected classes, followed by the female who was looking down at her phone.

TwirlerGirl14, CobaltBlue5:

Guys,

Randy and Howard are having some kinda pre-campout at my house.

No need to RSVP just get your $$ over here after school.

Sent

Camping was pretty fun actually. Theresa ended up tagging along with Antoinette as she walked home from school. With her was her friend Debbie. Howard and Randy wouldn't show up until Later in the night which gave them time to set up a make-shift campsite as well as scan through the family library for some scary stories to read. After all of this was done, the boys showed up with junk food for the gang and the 'Stay up all night on a sugar/scared rush began'.

"

"And the ghost said... Maybe it was 'YOU'." Randy exclaimed as he jumped up and pointed his flashlight at Debbie just as Howard jumped out of the bushes and grabbed her.

The other two girls screamed in surprise but Debbie screamed in utmost terror, causing the four other members of the group to burst out laughing.

"OK, that wasn't funny you guys!" She yelped as she tried to stop shaking, leaning back into Howard's now-bear-hug. "My heart is racing right now!"

"Kinda the point Debbie Kang." Randy informed her slyly as he sat back on his sleeping back and ate another zebra-cake.

"Shut up Dork." She muttered as she caught a treat that he had tossed to her and annoyingly munched on it.

"That was really scary guys." Theresa laughed as she turned to where her friend had once been. "What did you th- Where did she go?"

"Probably got taken by the real ghost of Northsville." Howard said boredly, tousling Debbie's hair and then letting her go.

"R-really?" Theresa suddenly sounded frightened for her friend.

"Oh yeah. Legend has it that ghost of Northsville was an ordinary student, who was killed in these very woods on the day of their school's weekend campout by a masked madman. So every annual camp-out, the ghost returns to seek vengeance on the student who killed it. Unfortunately. He grabs some of the wrong students by mistake. Antoinette may have been his next victim, but maybe he'll come back for another and maybe it will be YOU!"

Even without the flashlight and the sudden bear-grab by Randy, Theresa still would have screamed for her life.

"Chill Fowler." Randy laughed as he got up. "I saw Toni checking her phone a few times. She invited Julian to come over so thats probably who Toni is with."

Meanwhile:

Cobaltblue5:

Hey? Where you at?

-I've been here this entire time Twit.

Wtf?

-Turn around moron.

Just did. Don't see you yet.

-Just keep walking.

Okay, still walking... And walking... An- Wait, I see ya.

"You were out here stargazing this entire time?" Antoinette asked the moment a telescope came into view, and at the eyepiece, her favorite goth.

"We all have our hobbies Twit." He said without looking up. "Mines happens to be pointing out constellations."

"I thought you said your's was collecting bat droppings or something like that." She retorted, folding her arms.

"Spider skins. But we all have our hobbies in a plural sense." He responded, still not looking up at his friend as he moved the scope around a bit and then finally stepped back. "Take a look at this. Its Orion."

Antoinette walked over to the scope and looked in, three stars in a straight line stood out to her. She smiled a bit at them and then began to move the telescope in another direction. She took her sweet time too, for Julian actually lost interest in her and leaned against a tree to admire a spider wed he found hanging above them. At long last, she finally returned from her spot.

"What were you looking for anyway?" He asked curiously as he went over and looked in the find a cluster of random stars.

"You'll think its cheesy so I'm not saying." Antoinette commented as she found the same spider web of interest.

"Was it Heaven?" Julian asked suddenly as he adjusted the telescope again. "I tried finding it in the stars once. Its not a constellation though."

Antoinette turned to him and walked over to his side and looked up at the stars with her own eyes before kneeling on her knees next to him.

"It was worth a shot though." She muttered as she leaned on his shoulder.

"Isn't it always?" He muttered back as he pulled his eye away from the telescope again. "Take a lot at that one."

She looked in and saw a red star gleaming in the distance, which she knew was either Saturn or a super nova.

"It stands out so alone. Even in a field of stars." He said poetically. "Kinda like you Twit."

"Or you Cobalt." Antoinette shot back, not liking the thought of being an outsider.

She rolled her eyes quickly and looked back into the glass to see another red dot had joined the other red she had seen before and the whole thing screamed 'Maybe like both of us.'

"Oh fuck you universe! Stop trying to make a poem of my life!"

Before he could even ask, a scratching sound was heard against the tree they had just been leaning on and when they looked up, they found what had made the spider web above them.

It was a green spider, about the size of a fireplace, with red ooze spilling out of pores in its skin. Its many eyes were black and its fangs curled upwards in the shape of a smile. This wasn't the scary part. The scary part was when the spider's face fell and took the shape of a human student and its skin turned translucent.

It was the ghost of Northsville Woods.

"Still enjoying your first camping trip?" Julian gulped as he stepped back from the tree.

"I'm going to be honest with you." Antoinette began as she too backed up but cut herself off with a scream as the spider lunged at the two took off running.

'There is no way this could end up any worse.' Antoinette thought as she ran, but just like in any other horror movie, she tripped over a randomly stuck up root and tripped, just as the monster loomed over her that red ooze dripped over her and landing on her skin, causing a sickening haze to loom off of each drop. It didn't hurt though, even if the sizzling meant it was burning her.

"Hey! Get away from her!" A voice that Antoinette remember as Randy's called from far over.

Both she and the monster looked up and saw not Randy, but the ninja standing with his sword drawn. The spider charged at him but like a ninja, he somehow ended up behind it, and with a quickly stroke of his sword, he cut the creature in half and it disappeared instantly.

"That seemed a little too easy." He muttered as he sheltered his sword and walked over to Antoinette and offered her his hand. "Are you alright girl who I've only met once before?"

"Yeah. I'm fine." She responded as she went to take his hand but suddenly pulled it back.

The haze coming off of her skin was now flooding the area above her face, causing her eyes to go both teary and crossed. Her sides began to ache as she felt something thin and long fabricating from each of her ribs and shredding its way out of her skin. Her nails felt as though they were being pulled from her fingers when in reality they were taking the form of sharp claws, and the same with her teeth.

"What the juice..." Ninja muttered as he took a step back but then face-palmed. "Oh, I get it, so the 'ghost' will have a human form to fight me in! That- thats kinda clever there."

With a final burn engulfing her face, the creature had taken over Antoinette completely and swung one of its long hands at the Ninja, who jumped out of the way but didn't dare slash at it in fears of hurting Antoinette in the processes. But what could he possibly slash to destroy this thing anyway?

"Ninja! Its prized possession is its web!" The gang from the camp ground (minus two members) called over as they ran to watch this fight.

"What web?" Ninja called back over as he dodged another strike and began to run in the direction he saw the spider coming from.

"By the three next to where I left the telescope at." Julian called over and the Ninja headed in that direction.

Another strike was thrown and this one got him right across the back, leaving a raised, red, trail and a tear in his suit.

"Oh come on! I just had this one repaired!" The ninja groaned in both pain and annoyance as he turned to face the spider. "You know what, you've made me very peeved spider-thing- ghost."

He took out his sword and lunged towards the web, while the spider cried in terror, and sliced it in half. Instantly, the moment the blade touched it, a red fog filled the air and suddenly disappeared as Antoinette reviled herself yet again. She stood for a moment before swaying and falling back into the goth's waiting arms. Her purple shirt and black shorts had been torn but luckly she was still clothed enough that none of the boys would have to look away.

"This is why I don't go camping... To many bugs..." She muttered before slipping into unconsciousness yet again.
