Scream | Shawn Mendes

Chapter Three: Supplies

*Shawn's POV*
When I woke up the next morning, Kat was literally on top of me, Cameron was on the floor, and Andrea was almost off the bed too, Ashley and Daniel were the same as me and Kat, except Daniel was on top of Ashley sleeping. My body was drenched in sweat, it's too hot for this. Kats face is so peaceful when she's sleeping. A small drizzle of sweat is on her forehead. A small smile spreads across my face. I kiss her forehead quickly before slowly pushing her off of me and getting out of bed. My brown hair is stuck to my forehead from the sweat. I creep past Cameron and open a window. The crisp autumn breeze blows in making the room 110% cooler than it was. I walk into the kitchen and turn on the coffee maker. I pull out muffins that I bought from the store and pull one out. It smells like chocolate chip and muffins, of course.  I rip off the wrapper and take a huge bite. Muffins are my favourite.

As the coffee brews everyone slowly comes out, their hair caked to their faces. "Did you sleep good?" I ask, they all respond with the same thing and laugh. "Hot"  because it was, so hot. They all repeat the actions I did, and ripped open a muffin. "So what all do we need for this trip?" I say, my mouth full of muffin.
"Flash lights" Cameron mumbles through a bite, and everyone agrees. "Walkie talkies" Ashley says, her mouth empty. "black clothing so we don't get seen" Kat says, leaping onto the counter. "Good idea" Andrea smiles. "Anyone else just a tad bit scared? i mean this place is rumored to have held the craziest people.." I say, looking around them to see if there's a reaction. They all shrug. "Well, it was a mental asylum.." Andrea rolls her eyes. "Besides, ghosts aren't real." She adds on. Ashley shrugs and picks at her muffin. "Well,  i am scared. Man, what if something happens??" I say, my voice strained.

so many things can happen.. Someone can see us and call the cops on us, something can get us in there. we could get seriously hurt. Haven't any of them seen american horror story? fuck man, i don't want to get my arm ripped off by bloody face's son. That wouldn't be fun at all. Damn, this trip has just got my anxiety up. "Shawn, baby, we'll be fine." Kat says, grabbing my hand. I smile to show her that i'm okay, but i'm not. Fuck man, this is scary.

"are we gonna split up? or are we gonna stay in a giant group?" Daniel says, being the first to pour himself coffee. We all follow suit and pour some coffee. "Uh, i think it would be more fun if we just split up, cover different territories, then meet back somewhere?" Kat says, blowing her coffee before drinking it. "Yeah, that sounds fun" Ashley added. "So, it's a plan then??" Cameron says, looking at us all. "Yeah, it's a plan" We all say simultaneously. 

....

Everyone left to their houses to get ready. We all are going to meet at Walmart, so we can get our supplies for this trip that i'm just not ready for. but i guess each Halloween gets creepier and creepier. Me and Kat just brought along our black clothes to change into in the car because how bad would it look for six teenagers to walk into Walmart in all black? pretty bad. so i really hope that everyone else got the memo because i would really hate to explain to Walmart why we are all in black. 

"Are you really scared to do this?" Kat asks, grabbing my hand as i drive, i peer over at her. "I am, but it's okay. I'm just a baby" I assure her. I am scared, really scared, but  I will be okay, i don't wanna ruin her Halloween. "We don't have to go?" She suggests. I let go of her hand and place it on her thigh. "No, it's fine, i'll be fine" I smile, and squeeze her thigh. "Okay..." She sighs and sets her hand on mine. :I Love You." she reminds me with a small smile on her face. "I Love you" i say back, smiling over at her. I stop at a stop sign and lean over, softly kissing her. She smiles, and pulls away right when a car behind us honks. We both laugh. I look both ways before driving away. "What a dick" She says what we're both thinking with a laugh.

I make a right and i pull into the Walmart parking lot. Kat pulls out her phone to call the rest of the group to see where they are, but before she does Cameron jumps on the hood of the car. Kat jumps really high, making cam laugh harder. We both get out of the car, laughing "asshole!" she proclaims and laughs again. Everyone drowns in laughter for a second before we all begin to run into the store. Cameron grabs the shopping cart and rides it down the isle. He goes into the women's section and we follow. He then proceeds to put on a bright red lacy bra, and go ask the employee if they had anything bigger. Her face was completely horrified. She almost looked done with his shit, but despite her horrified expression, she ignored the rest of us and led him to another isle, (to which we followed) and pulled out a bigger version of the bra he has on. "Why thank you ma'am." He smiled, her face lightened up a little and she spoke quick "No problem, if you have anymore questions just ask" Cam nodded and threw the bigger size into the cart "Halloween costume." He says when he see's our expressions but there's nothing new with him honestly. Andrea shrugs and grabs one too, i'm guessing for herself, because i don't think the one cam is buying will fit her, i think its like a triple D.

He winks at her, and she rolls her eyes. Kat goes behind me and jumps on my back as we begin to walk through the isles to fine the flash lights, walkie talkies, lights that go onto your head, and go-pros. Cameron is still prancing down the isles pushing the cart in his red bra, everyone that we pass is either laughing or wondering what the hell is wrong with him. We eventually reach the flashlights, and Cam throws like, 30 lights in there and a bunch of batteries. "We don't have anything to carry all of this stuff." I state, staring at all the flashlights in the cart, we definitely have too many lights, i think he's scared too. but maybe he's not. should i be scared? 

I remember when i was little, when i went trick-or-treating. Why can't we do that? why can't we be like the innocent little trick-or-treaters? UGH. "Lets go get backpacks." Ashley states and we make our way over to the backpack isle. We all pick one out, mine being one with Iron-Man on it. Kat's has Batman on it, Ashley's has Spider-man. Andrea's has Superman. Daniel's has the hulk. Cameron has another superman one.  So now, on top of us all running like idiots down the isles in Walmart at 8 o'clock, we now look like children.

We finally find everything that we need, and go to the cash register. The cashier looks like she's probably in her twenties, i don't think she's liking working tonight by the look on her face, but she manages to force a smile and start ringing up the millions of items we have that we've just bought. The total comes out to $257.62, we all split the cost and get out items. 

As we make our way out of the store to our vehicles, i can feel the butterflies in my stomach. Shit man.
