Finding a Ghost

Chapter 3

October 2012

"Movie night! I'm so ready!

"Well I hope you are all prepared for a scream marathon!"

"Ugh really Steph? There's so much better horror movies."

"What can I say Sydney Prescott is hot."

"Probably the only Prescott that should be called hot."

She rolls her eyes, I'm gonna go get the popcorn, Chloe could you grab the beer?"

"You know if it wasn't for my delightful personality, I'd think you only keep me around for the beverages."

"Nope it's just an amazing benefit." Steph walks off to the kitchen leaving me and Rachel alone, she's quiet, unlike her usual bubbly self.

"Hopefully miss Gingrich doesn't know what weed smells like." I pull a joint out from my pocket and light it and take a long drag.
"Wanna hit rach?" She blinks herself back to reality, her mind before had been somewhere else entirely.
"Uh yeah sure." She takes it from me and takes a couple drags. "Do you need any help with the beer?"
"Yeah sure."

We walk to the truck, it's already dark out, Mikey should be here any minute with the extra nerd entertainment.
"Hey are you okay?"

"Yeah I'm fine, just been a stressful week."

I kick a rock on the pavement driveway. "Anything in particular going on?"

"Not really just classes."

"Hey." I grab her shoulder stopping us. "You know you can talk to me, I'm just worried, you don't seem like yourself."

She won't meet my eyes and honestly it was freaking me out.
"Rachel I-
"Chloe I'm fine trust me."
She moves on to the truck and picks up the two-six packs in the back.
"Are you gonna grab the rest or just stand there."

"Uh yeah I got it." I grab the remaining six pack and the brown bag full of shooters. "What did you want all these shooters for anyway?"

She turns to me and smiles "oh well you'll have to just wait and see price." A mischievous grin spreads across her face.

This can't be good

Midnight

Steph had just put in scream 3 and we were all board. We had played some dnd and we were all definitely buzzed, the third movie is just arguably the worst. We were all kinda in our own little universe. Mikey was reading a comic book glancing up at the movie every now and then. Steph after half way through scream 2 had been glued to her phone, and the way she was smiling led it to believe she was texting some girl, good for her.
Rachel was staring at the tv but you could tell she wasnt actually paying attention. Then me watching Rachel, trying to read her mind and find out what was wrong.

Of course that didn't work.

"Anyone wanna play a game?" Rachel sat up from the couch, she had oddly sat on the opposite side of the room from me.
"Rachel this is scream not saw."

"Ha ha, not that kinda game, I don't have the guts for all that blood." She grabs the paper bag beside the couch. "I was thinking a game in the drinking variety."

We all look around at each other kinda unsure but surprisingly Mikey tosses his comic book aside. "Fuck it, why not."

"Hey as long as nobody damages anything why not?"

All eyes on me. "Hella yes let's do it!"

Rachel sets 12 shooters on the floor in a circle, how drunk did she want us all to get.
"So you will spin the bottle in the middle and whatever it lands on, bottoms up!.
