I hate clowns!” Brianna yelled playfully, and

Tristen rolled his eyes. My light red hair

swirled around my face in the cool breeze,

and I pushed it behind my ears. We were

about to go inside the so called scariest

haunted house in Michigan. But we were

taking it one step farther, we’re going in

after

it closes.

“Well you will have to get over it, this is a

haunted house, it will have clowns,” Nick

said

stuffing his red hands in his jacket pockets.

The air was colder than usual, and I didn’t

like it.

Brianna pouted, crossing her thin arms

across

her chest. Jacob walked up behind her,

wrapping his strong muscular arms around

her and Brianna smiled. Gosh she was such

a

flirt!

“You guys be quiet!” Jeff hissed at us, he

pushed his wire framed glasses up, and I

saw

a shiver run through his small, thin body.

“We are fine, nobody will catch us,” Jacob

stated smugly, a smirk spreading across his

god like face.

“Maybe your used to breaking into places,

but

I’m not,” Jeff snapped back. My eyes

widened,

I have never heard Jeff talk like that,

especially to Jacob. Jeff, the weakest of the

group, and Jacob, the strongest. I guess

opposites really do attract, otherwise I have

no

idea how to explain how we became best

friends. A big group of misfits, or at least

thats how I saw us.

“How exactly are you getting us in Jacob?

Lily

asked quietly, her hazel eyes taking in our

surroundings. Jacob smirked his world

famous

smirk, and ruffled his short, messy brown

hair.

“I know a guy,” he said mysteriously.

Hayley

laughed, and slapped her knee lightly. I

smiled, I knew what she was thinking. Of

course that’s what he would say. Tristen’s

beautiful green eyes glimmered in

amusement

under his long, dark hair.

“Let’s just go,” muttered Jeff, tilting his

head

to the ground and walking toward the

haunted house….. Well this would be

interesting.

Turns out, the guy Jacob ‘knew’ was just

the

owner, Issac. He kind of gave me the

creeps,

the way there was always a smirk on his

face,

and just how he dressed, he looked like a

sleeze. Jacob gave him fifty bucks to let us

in,

as long as we didn’t make a mess or trash

anything. That man must not know us at all.

This haunted house wasn’t ordinary, it was a

real house, a real big house. Apparently it’s

Issac’s house, every year during Halloween

season, he turns it into a haunted house and

stays in a hotel.

It was a really creepy house too, just from

the

outside. The wood was old and tattered.

The

white paint was already half peeled off, and

underneath was an ugly brown color. The

shutters were hanging half off because the

hinges were so rusty. Black, that was the

color

of the door, I have never seen a black door

before but there it was.

Issac noticed me eyeing the house, and

chuckled slightly, sending a slimy smile my

way.

I just went back to staring at the scary

house.

There was half of a brick chimney, the other

half was in a pile on the dead, brown

grass.

There were a couple windows, but they

looked

boarded up from the inside.

The inside.

“Weird much?” Hayley said under her

breath,

I smiled, trying hard to contain a laugh.

Issac

didn’t leave yet, he was getting things ready

or something, Hayley was right, weird.

“OK, have fun kids,” Issac said. He winked

as

he quickly ran to his beat up Ford Fusion

and

took off as fast as he could. I could see

him

eyeing us out of his review mirror. Brianna’s

eye brows furrowed in confusion, and

Tristen

chuckled lightly, slowly shaking his head.

“That guy is a creep,” Nick annouced,

popping

the collar of his varsity leather jacket he got

from playing football. His light blond hair

just

barely covered his sky blue eyes. Nick was

your average everyday Jock, the kind that

played football, baseball, track and never

got

good grades. Lily has been tutoring him

longer than I can even remember. She had

to

teach him the ABC’s.

“Are you ready?” Jacob asked menacingly,

tightly grasping the door, and pushing it

open.

Brianna hide her eyes in Jacob’s chest,

Hayley’s eyes went wide, and I gasped at

the

sight before me.

Issac was good at his job.
