Chapter 96: Photographs & Memories

Once again, he began pulling me along with him. I cursed the fact that we were here on a weekday. Since there wasn’t a lot of people at the park, we were the only ones in the haunted house as far as I could tell. If we had entered as a larger group, maybe I’d feel less scared or there would be someone else who would also be scared like me. Then we could be friends.

The reality was that I was alone with Hayden, and he didn’t seem scared at all. I doubt Hayden would be scared of anything. He did invite me out at night to a graveyard after all…

I pressed myself close to his side as we slowly walked along the dark path in the haunted house. Looking around, I could tell that the decorations were made to portray a vampire theme. There were fake blood, coffins, skeletons and other haunting items scattered all around. Now and then, there would be a shrilled high-pitch scream in the distant and the howling of wolves.

While Hayden seemed to enjoy looking around, I spent the time to mentally prepare myself for when the ghost would come out and scare us.

“See? It’s not as scary as you think. These things are made for kids…” Hayden said, sounding bored.

“I’m just scared that something will pop out and…AHHHHH!” I said before screaming loudly in shock.
