Slender

Chapter 2: What Is That

A few hours later, around 6PM, we just were finishing up a pool tournament when Jeff said he seen something move in my back woods. "Oh shut up Jeff." Zoe screamed. She's been reading about Slender Man a lot lately, and is scared shitless to be near trees. Jeff laughed then said, "Hey I'm getting hungry, how about we order a pizza?" "Sounds good to me." Me and Zoe said in harmony. Their was a long pause. "Elephant in the room I'll say it, who's going to be the one to call?" I said. "Not it!" They both shouted. "Ugh, fine I'll do it." I find it weird talking to people I don't know over the phone. Anyway, I got it ordered and went back downstairs.

Jeff was up at the window looking out and Zoe was sitting in the corner. "I swear theres something moving around out there." He reported. "Zack, make him stop!" Zoe commanded. Before I could respond Jeff said, "No Zack I'm serious! Theres something out there!" "Fine, let me look." I said. I peered out the window into the twilight in the woods. When I see something shift to the left and then back to the right. "You're right Jeff, there is something out there. Zoe come take a look." She slowly shuffled to the door and put those bright green eyes up and peared through the window. A few seconds later she screamed. "Haha." Jeff laughed. "Oh god what was that?" Zoe said, sounding extremely scared. "How in bloody hell are we supposed to know?" Jeff replied. "Lets just ignore, probably just the wind blowing some branches." I said to try and calm her down.

"Lets just keep shooting pool." Jeff said as he put his sunglasses back on trying to look cool. He's always trying to look cool, sometimes he does, sometimes he maks a complete fool out of himself. Most of the time its the contrary. When he took his shot it went way off to the side and missed everything. "Maybe if you took off those stupid glasses you'd be able to see enough to actually hit the ball." Zoe suggested. "Oh come on, Zoey." She hates it when he calls her that. "You know I look cool." "Not a chance, Jeffy." Her way at getting back at him, he can't stand that. "Oh shut up, take your shot. And don't take forever to line it up again." Jeff retorted. "At least I can actually get a ball in the damn hole." Jeff snickered, probably because he found something dirty in it, like he always does. Zoe took her shot and didn't manage to get a ball in the hole. "Ugh, stupid cue ball." To which I replied, "Sure its the balls fault. After all you're the one that made it move like it did." "Oh shut up Zack with your stupid smartassey logic." 

Ding dong. "Oh hey, pizzas here!" I added to try and end the conversation. We all practically trampled each other trying to get up the stairs to get to the pizza first. Jeff won, like he always does, cause he's the most physically fit out of us. We always have people go the the back door since the front door just leads to an office. Theres a note up and everything. Anyway all 3 of us ended up at the door. We just were handed the pizza and Jeff was about to give him the check when Zoe screamed at the top of her lungs and ran away. The delivery man looked just as frightened. "I'm sorry about that, she gets scared easily. Here you go." Jeff said as he handed over the money. The guy tipped his hat and ran around the side of the house. 

"What the hell was that all about?" Jeff said as soon as the door shut. Zoe was huddled over in the corner. "I seen him! He was standing in the middle of the yard!" Zoe shrieked. "Oh, yea, I'm sure you did Zoey." "I did! I swear I did! He was huge! And... just standing there." Me and Jeff looked at each other, and Zoe must of seen us rolling our eyes, because the next thing we knew she was shouting, "You think I'm crazy don't you? I know what I saw you guys. You may not believe me, but when he catches us, you guys are the first ones to be killed." She tucked her head into her knees.
