Thirty-Two

"Asswipes! Cheaters!"

"Us? Cheaters? How!? Not our fault that we're better than you in this game." Grace said as she rolled her eyes.

"But I beat everyone in this game. Then suddenly, you two come in my life and my man cave and beat me in my own game!" He whined.

"Michael, just shut up. We either play a rematch or not." I said, rolling my eyes as well.

"No, let's go somewhere." He suggested. Grace and I just sat there for a few minutes. We looked at each other with shocked expressions.

"You want to go out?"

"You want to leave your man cave?" We asked.

"You know what, forget I said anything. I never said anything." He said.

"No, no, no! Okay, let's go somewhere!" I said. Michael looked at both of us and then smiled an evil smile. He got up from his seat, turned off the game console and TV, and headed outside. As soon as he was out the door, Grace and I jumped out of our seats and followed him. Once we were both outside, we noticed that Michael was already in the car waiting for us.

"Would you two hurry up? Gosh and I thought my grandma was slow." Michael joked around. Grace rolled her eyes at what he said, while I was laughing quietly. We both got in his car, which was blasting Green Day from the speakers, and drove off.

"Where are we going exactly?" Grace asked, once we were out of the city and going to a bridge.

"We are going to go bungee jumping." Michael smirked.

"No fucking way." I said, not believing a word that just came out of his mouth.

"I'm not lying. I'm being serious."

"Cool!!" Grace exclaimed as we high fived. Michael parked the car and Grace and I ran out of the car and towards the bridge. Michael stayed in the back talking to the instructor, I believed. Both of us stood on the bridge, looking down under the bridge.

"There's a lake at the bottom, sweet." I breathed out.

"This will be so much fun!" Grace exclaimed.

"Lupe, Grace, don't be rude and introduce yourselves." Michael said as he was walking towards us with the instructor by his side.

"Uhm, hi! I'm Lupe, nice to meet you." I introduced myself as I shook the older mans hand.

"And I'm Grace! Nice meeting you." She introduced herself as well and shook the mans hand.

"Hi girls. Well my name is Stephen and I believe I'll be ya'll's instructor for the day. Technically, what I'm going to be doing is putting the bungee rope on you guys and tell you how to jump off." He explained. The three of us nodded as he talked.

"Okay, so you guys need to put these on." He said as he handed us some equipment.

"Now you guys see this thing in the front? You guys or if you want me to do it, will connect the rope to this." He instructed us. Once we put on the equipment, we connected the rope to it.

"Is that it?" asked Grace.

"That's it. Now I'm going to demonstrate how you jump off." He said. He got on the railings on the bridge and jumped off, demonstrating us how to jump off. Once he was done bouncing, he climbed the rope and jumped over the railing to stand on the bridge with us.

"You get it?" He asked us all.

"Got it." We all said.

"Okay. So now that you guys understand, you guys can jump off individually or all at once." He said

We all looked at each other, having a conversation with our eyes until we spoke up. "Together." We said.

We all climbed up the railings, standing side by side to each other. The order was Michael on the right side of Grace while I was on her right side. Basically she was in the middle. We all held hands and we were about to jump off when I stopped us.

"What?" Grace and Michael asked annoyed.

"Let me get my phone so I can take video of it." I said as I rolled my eyes. I got my phone out and started recording.

"Okay now we can jump." I said. Then we were bouncing, hanging from the rope.

"Now, how do we get back up there?" Michael asked, pretty confused.

"We'll pull you guys up, don't worry!!" Stephen told us from above.

We gave him a thumbs up and waited for him to pull us up. One by one he pulled us up until they got to Michael and started pulling him up. We all got our equipment off, thanked Stephen for helping us, and headed back to the city.

"Can we go to Pizza Hut, please?" I begged Michael, as music blared from the speakers.

"Oh my god, yes please!' Grace said.

"Because I love pizza, we shall go." Michael said with a weird accent.

"What kind of accent was that?" I asked, confused.

"I don't know and don't judge me." he said.

After eating Pizza Hut we went back home and played more video games. Slowly Michael and Grace fell asleep leaving me wide awake. Knock, knock.

I got up from my seat and headed towards the window. I peeked out of it and saw that no one was outside. Knock, knock.

I looked down and saw a note on the floor.

"You may run, you may warn, but you can't escape. What a beautiful place to die, isn't it? Screams, from people who loved them, including yours."

Suddenly the lights turned off, I slammed the door shut and locked it. I ran towards Michael and wrapped his arms around me and hid in his chest.

"What's up?" He groggily asked.

"Huh?" Grace asked as she woke up.

"I received another note." They both were suddenly wide awake and Grace pulled her phone out and turned the flashlight on.

"The note." Michael said. I handed him the note and both of them read it.

Suddenly the lights turned on again.

"We'll tell the guys tomorrow. We should just go to sleep right now. I'll be here, don't worry." Michael said trying to calm us down. Soon we calmed down and we all fell asleep.
