10. Trick or Treat, Freak

Jonathan was in the kitchen cooking the whole family breakfast while I sat at our table, watching him.

"Will?" my mom called into the hallway, clapping her hands to get him to wake up. "Come on honey, up and at 'em."

There was a second of silence before my mom called out my little brother's name again.

"Jonathan?" Mom came speed walking into the kitchen and I put down the cereal box I was reading the back of.

"Yeah?" my older brother answered.

"Where's Will?"

Jonathan's features formed into ones of worry. I lifted a shaky hand up to my mouth. There was no way that Will had gone missing again.

"W-what?" I stuttered.

"Where's Will?" Mom repeated.

"He's not in his room?" Jonathan asked, voice panicky.

"No," Mom answered, starting to freak out.

She turned around and walked up to the bathroom door, shoving it open. "Will?" A pause. "What are you doing?"

"Peeing," came the small voice of my little brother.

Jonathan and I breathed a sigh of relief simultaneously, and he went back to cooking.

After breakfast, Mom went with Will to help him put on his Ghostbusters costume. Jonathan went off to get his camera, preparing it for the pictures he would take.

When Will finally came out of his room, Jonathan told him to stand in the middle of the living room.

Will did so and posed with the biggest smile and two thumbs up. I giggled and stood behind Jonathan.

"Three, two, one . . ." Jonathan gave a countdown before taking the picture. "Okay now hold the proton blaster."

Will aimed the proton blaster at the camera lens and Jonathan took another picture.

"Turn to the light," Jonathan instructed.

My little brother turned and aimed his proton blaster at the lamp on the side table of the couches, and Jonathan took another picture.

"Okay, guys. That's enough pictures I gotta get Will to school," Mom interrupted.

I laughed and grabbed my bag from the floor, swinging it over one shoulder and following Jonathan out to his car.

Nancy, Steve, and I sat in the library of our school, doing homework. Nancy and Steve sat on one side of the table, glued to each other's hip, while I sat on the other side, staring at the note Billy left in my locker.

Meet me in the bathroom princess. -Billy

The sound of pencil lead snapping caught my attention, and I looked up at Nancy to watch her get up and go to the sharpener.

Steve stared at her for a little longer, and eventually got up and went over to her. They seemed to speak a little urgently to each other before they both went into one of the private rooms in the library.

I took this opportunity to gather my stuff and shove it into my backpack. I lifted one strap over my right shoulder and headed for the bathrooms.

Before I reached them, an arm was slung over my shoulders and I turned to see who it was.

Billy smirked down at me and turned into the girl's bathroom, leading me into the farthest and biggest stall. I was pushed into the wall and Billy immediately attacked my neck with kisses.
