Slender

Chapter 3: The Chase Begins

We got 2 pizzas, both large and cheese. That's the only type Zoe likes, you can't even pick off pepperonies or anything. They have to cheese, and thats it. We got the most expensive pizza we could possibly think of, just for the occasion, you know? "Woah, that was awesome." Jeff said leaning back in his chair. "Yea, I know. But don't get too tired, its only, like, what? 8PM." I asked. Zoe replied, "I don't know, I'm too full to focus on anything." "Oh come on you guys." I said kind of irritated how tired they looked after we ate two full pizzas. "How is come spelled in that sentance?" Jeff asked. Zoe got the most disgusted look on her face, and then laughed. 

Crack. And we all jumped up. We ran to the window, it was raining. "Those god damned weather people never get it right." Jeff said. "Hey!" Zoe sounded offended, her dad is the main weather man. "Its not his fault, he just reads off the script." "Yea well, then whoever writes the script does a bad job." Another lighting strike and another shriek from Zoe. "Ugh, what is it now?" Jeff asked sounding extremely annoyed. "I saw it again! When the lightning struck and everything lit up. There was a body shape out there! But twice as tall!" You could almost hear him rolling his eyes. "Oh and I'm sure Slender Man is waiting for us in the basement. Now come on, we need to finish that pool game."

"Let's put some music on." Zoe suggested. We have a speaker system in our basement with awesome bass. Get it? Bass in the basement? Oh, whatever. Thats funny. "What should we put on?" I asked. "How about Nicki Manaj?" Zoe suggested again. "Anything that isn't pop or rap is fine with me." Jeff said. Zoe really likes all that pop music and stuff. But as for Jeff and I, we listen to good music. 

"Just turn it to a radio station then." Zoe said. "Fine." Was my only response as I turned on the radio station and their was a Boston song playing. "All right! Foreplay and Long Time!" Jeff sounded exited. 

"Oh shut up Jeff, just miss another shut and give me the stick." Zoe sounded like she was getting madder by the minute. "Jesus Christ calm down Zoe." I said. Jeff took his shot, sunk a ball, took another shot, sunk another ball, and then finally missed. "Its about damn time." Zoe said as she took the stick from Jeff's hand. Zoe took her shot, but it only went two inches because she topped the ball. "How much do these cost? Can I break this over my knee?" She asked me. "If you have $150 to spare, go ahead." I told her. "Fine. Here Jeff just hurry up so I don't have to wait long." Of course, Jeff took forever setting up his shot. She finally snapped and screamed, "Oh come on already, just shoot!" Jeff lifted up his pool cue, spun around 3 times, and while staring straight at her, took his shot and sunk 3 balls. 

Around 30 minutes later, the tournament was finished. "Well that was painful to watch you two go at it for 15 minutes." Zoe commented. I won, as usal for anything we do that doesn't involve physically moving. "Well whatever." Jeff said. "Lets move onto ping pong now." We set up the ping pong table, it's one of those fancy ones that folds over so you can play by yourself. Of course, like normal, me and Jeff set it up. Zoe doesn't like doing physical labor, I guess you could call it.

Anyway, we set it up and began to play. "Hey! Don't I get to go first?" Zoe complained. "No, we set it up, we get to play it first." Jeff retorted. He served the best serve you will ever see. Perfect, got right past me. And I thought I was good at this. "Jesus Christ Jeff." Me and Zoe said in perfect harmony. We do that a lot.

All of a sudden, the basement door flung open. (We have one of those doors in our basement where it opens up to the outside and then the stairs up to the yard). We were both facing the other way when we heard it fling open. Zoe screamed louder than ever. We rolled our eyes again and looked behind us.

And there he was, staring us down. It was Slender Man.
