The next few weeks felt like a blur, honestly the  situation with Billy really bothered me for some reason. I didn't think I liked him that much, he tried to make small talk in the halls but I showed him I wasn't interested. Eddie was being a lot more friendly and I could see that was making Billy irritated, I didn't try to do it though. I joined in on a campaign with the Hellfire Club and I've been meeting with them after school, Billy is always out there waiting for Max.

Holy shit I need to stop thinking about him. I sit up and look over the edge of my bed contemplating if I want to get up when my phone rings, I pick it up and play with the cord.

"Hello, this is Rey Harrington speaking." I say waiting for the caller to respond.

"Hey Rey!" Nancy shouts excitedly.

"Nancy!" I squeal kicking my feet up.

"I was just wondering if you want to have a girls night? You've been down in the dumps since the mall drama." She says, I can hear the frown on her face through the phone.

"I would love that Nanc! I'll steal some of Steve's horror movies." I say plotting my plan while ignoring the mall comment.

"Alright I'll be over in fifteen!" She shouts before hanging up, I put the phone down and jump up to clean up my room and the living room ready.

Rapid knock knock knock

I open the door to Nancy smiling holding a small bag. We greet one another and hug, I prepare the snacks while she picks a movie.

"BOO!" Steve jumps out and yells trying to scare us.

"STEVE!" Nancy gasps dropping the movie in her hands.

"Not funny Steve! Don't scare off the guests, she's one of my only friends!" I shoo him out and back to his room upstairs. Nancy laughs with me and we sit down on the couch. I put my head on her shoulder as we begin to watch a classical horror movie, Steve had quite the collection, not as many movies compared to his naughty magazines. I doze off on Nancy's shoulder, hearing suspenseful music and Nancy munching on popcorn.

"Rey, Rey wake up, please." I was jolted awake by Nancy sounding panicked and pleaded for me to wake up.

"What? What's wrong?" I ask confused.

"There's something weird in your trash can outside, it made a weird noise." Nancy says glancing over to the back door window.

"It's probably a raccoon, it's ok." I attempt to reassure her but hear the exact same sound I heard the night Billy snuck in.

Demi-Dog noises muffed in trash can

"What the fuck what that..." I whip my head around to the back door where our trash an was.

"Thats the same noise!" Nancy exclaimed.

"Shhh!" I shush her trying to sneak up to the window and catch a glance, more curious than ever to find out what this thing was. The wood floor creaks as I make my way slowly up to the door, I hear the creature once more and grab the door nob about to swing the door open.

"Don't open that." Steve whispers from behind me.

"What is it?" I stay frozen listening to the creature continue rummaging through the trash.

"Don't worry about it, just go lay back down." He says calmly, his footsteps got farther and farther until I didn't hear them. I swing open the door, it backs out the trash can fast and bolts for the forest, I pick up the trash can trap the creature in it. It makes a distressful sound, I sit on the flipped trash can and wait for Steve.

"Steve!" I call out to him sitting proudly, he walks outside and sighs.

"You're fucking crazy." Steve says pointing his finger at me.

"Oh...my-" Nancy says with a shocked tone of voice.

"What is it?" I question Steve with my curiosity bubbling.

"You don't wanna know, let that thing out and run in the house." Steve says with a stern tone.

"No." I say plainly.

"If you don't-" Steve gets cut off by me.

"If I don't you'll do what?" I ask him furrowing my eyebrows.

"Rey I'm not joking, this is serious if you-" Steve tries to finish, the creature tips me over and I fall hard on my side making moan in pain.

"Rey!" Nancy rushes to me and pick me up off the ground, I stand up by myself and watch as the thing runs into the forest.

"What IS that?!" I ask Steve again getting more irritated with him.

"You wouldn't believe me." Steve says but ushered us inside and locked all the doors and shut all the curtains.

"You're freaking me out Steve!" I shout at him hugging Nancy.

I hear the creature screaming in the forest then it felt like the world was silent for a minute. Time felt like it slowed down, before me and Nancy were knocked to the ground, I listened to glass shatter behind us and the same noise from the forest. Steve hurled towards the creature with a knife from the kitchen and cut its stomach open making it scream, I watched in terror as it's mouth gapped wide open split into four slabs of flesh with hundreds of teeth smiling directly at me. Nancy got a tissue to light on fire by turning the stove on, she quickly brung the tissue to Steve and dropped it on the creature. It bursted only flames and made horrible noises until it's corpse sat still engulfed in man's red flower. Soon steve put it out and wrapped it in a towel before burying it in the forest, probably looked sketchy as hell with screams coming from our house then three teenagers bury something. I didn't ask Steve anymore questions, at this point curiosity WILL kill the cat, and the cat is me unfortunately.

"Hey Nanc, let's go to bed..." I look over at her, both of us are covered in slimey goop and dirt all over.

"Not before taking a shower." She laughs awkwardly, we go upstairs and take turns showering then lay down together.

"Sleep well Nancy." I whisper to her, our backs facing one another as we lay in the same bed big enough for the both of us.

"You too, don't let the bed bugs bite." She says back before we fall asleep and get tangled in each other's limbs looking like a pair of sisters sleeping next to each other.

I don't want to know what that was, I'm fine living clueless after that shit show. I still hear it's ugly cries in the back of my mind, and see it's smile as it burned. Just go to sleep and count sheep Rey...count sheep.
