The afternoon rolled by quickly and night was coming fast. Nick and I hung out most of the day and that's normal for us. To some, its not and they think we are going out or something. Ew.
Well, Nick and I did nothing but stare at the t.v. all day and talk about our plan to break into the cemetery later on tonight. Great, I'm going to be so dead when we get caught and grandma finds out about this. She'll surely stop sending money for my every day needs. Should have thought this through before I agreed to my idiotic friend.
~~TIME SKIP~~
It was nearing ten o'clock and the streets are almost deserted. Nick and I are hanging out at the convenience store less than a block away from the cemetery. We were eating hot dogs and talking about random non sense just to pass the time. We were waiting for midnight. I know that it's not the greatest time to be inside the cemetery looking for a haunted mausoleum but Nick was right that if we don't want to get caught, we'll go at midnight.
I suddenly became curious if Nick's parents okay with this. That Nick was wandering around town in the middle of the night. So I just have to ask him.
"Hey Nicky. Are your parents okay with this? That you are roaming around town with criminals lurking everywhere in the dead of night?", I asked through a mouthful of hot dog.
"Yeah well, I kinda lied to them and told them I would be crashing at your place for a few days cause you got sick and you need someone to take care of you.", he had a sheepish grin on his face while taking a swig of energy drink.
"If they ever caught you lying, leave me out of it Nicky. I'll whoop your a** if you put me in on this one.", I bluntly told.
He just chuckled and tousled my short hair.
"Don't worry dude. You're all clear.", he smiled that beautiful smile of his.
I snorted at him and took a bite out of my hot dog.
~~TIME SKIP AGAIN~~
It was past midnight when the coast was clear and Nick cautiously ran to the gate of the cemetery. He motioned me to come over and did the same slow and silent running till I was next to him. Dang. I feel like an escaped prisoner.
"Come over here. I'll hoist you up.", Nick held my hand and my face felt hot. He lifted me up so I can climb up the wall next to the gate which thankfully doesn't have any barb wires or broken glass embedded on top of the wall.
I was gonna push myself up when my hand slipped and my butt fell on Nicks head. I swear I didn't mean it and it was freaking embarrassing.
"Sorry.", I softly and awkwardly said when I regain my hold on the wall and took my butt away from his head.
"Good thing you didn't accidentally fart or I would've moved and you would fall. Next time I go first and just pull you up.", Nick said while landing next to me on the other side of the wall.
"Next time? We're so not doing this again.", I pushed him a little and he smirked.
"Well, come on. Let's look for that creepy place.", he said bouncing around like a little boy who just got his present.
I followed Nick into the cemetery and said "Okay okay. Let's do this"
