A Little Death Never Killed Anyone

The Fourth

I arrive a school a few minutes early.
Better get this shit with Hugo sorted out.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In a school full of bullshit people doing bullshit things- I have seen no sign of Hugo. I want to find this asshat before someone dies. I have to find this asshat before someone dies.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I give up. If that shitbag wants to keep hiding from me so be it. "Did you hear about that dork Hugo?" I hear someone whisper behind me. "No?" I hear someone else reply. Oh hell no I turn around and see two girls whispering to each other. I could be nice. Fuck it "HEY! Call that kid a dork or anything like it and my fist will be so far up your ass, we'll be doing a puppeteer act for the talent show. Now What the fuck happened to Hugo?" That scared the shit out of her. "His aunt died yesterday, the wake was today, that's why he's absent." Shit. It's begun.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "So are you ready to do some ghost walking?" Mother asks me. Hugo lives by there right, maybe I could drop by?
"Sure, let's s go..."
As we show up at the place I get a weird feeling. I don't want to pass out again, maybe I could drop by Hugo's first.
"You look confused," my mother states
"How'd things go with that Hugo boy?"
"Hey wasn't in because his aunt died"
My mom freezes, "This has gone too far," I know "go next door now and fix this as much as you can." Well when you put it like that...
I knock on the door of the house next to the scary ass Victorian home. It is answered by Hugo.
"Hey Hugo, sorry about what happened, but um...its best if you don't talk to me Anymore. Okay?" "No."
"Thanks for understand- what?"
"No."
What the fuck? "What‽ bitch why not?"
"I don't know you well enough to decide if I should cut you out my life or not."
"No. Bitch if you don't, shit will hit the fan. SHIT HAS HIT THE FAN!" He looks at me with an expression that reads as blank. "And? What if I think shit fans are the best fans and I'm not stopping until-"
"BEA GET OVER HERE QUICK!"
My mom yells from the porch of the deathtrap next door.
"What the actual fuck is your mom doing at that place‽ That house isn't safe."
"Well yeah the building is old as shit but I mean I think it can hold her just fine if she's careful I mean-"
"No. It's not safe, there's some... Unsettled business... In that house."
Unsettled business? Sounds like my kind of business.
"How do you know that?"
He looks at me for a moment
"Mind if we speak about this at your place-I have siblings that shouldn't hear this."
"I guess, but my mom needs to get out of the building first I can't just leave her."
"Bea, she has barely gone inside"
I turn and watch as my brave- I ain't afraid of no ghost- mother comes running down the driveway.
"FUCK! There is something evil in that house. I don't know what but this entire town is in danger until we walk it over." My mother worriedly states.
"Well" Hugo starts "I was just going to explain this to Bea."
