Craig's/Mini's POV

"Are you sure we should do this? All of this paranormal shit freaks me out..." Brian questioned as we entered the store. "Don't be such a pussy, Brain. None of this hit is real anyways. It's just a waste of money." Tyler complained. I honestly don't know what we're doing... Anthony watched the movie 'Ouija' and now he really wants to buy a Ouija board. Of course, as the great friends we are, we decided to do the whole 'we get to talk to dead people' thing with Anthony. I'm slowly starting to regret it now that I've watched the movie, but I'm still a little curious. "Fuck off." Brian stated. We searched through the isles for the item, but to no avail.  Eventually, we decided to ask someone. "Excuse me, sir." Evan said while tapping on an employee's shoulder. He turned to face us. "Yes?" He asked as looked around at us. "Um, we're looking for a Ouija board, but we can't seem to find one. Do you have any in stock?" Evan questioned him. "Follow me." He commanded. We all followed the man to the back where they store all of the products when there's no room for them on the shelves. "May I ask why a large group like yourselves are interested in Ouija boards?" He asked. We all exchanged glances with each other. "Well, uh, our friend saw a movie based on a Ouija board and he thought it was interesting, so we tagged along with him." Scotty explained. The man nodded and grabbed a box. "Here ya go, but be careful. Kids like you don't need to be messing with this kind of shit. Just please, read the directions before touching the board." He stated while handing Arlan the box. "Yes, sir." Evan said as we all walked to the check-out area. Arlan handed the box to the check-out lady (I don't know! Don't judge me!) and she scanned it. Anthony paid her and we all left. As we left the store and headed home, I got a churning feeling in my stomach. This doesn't feel right...

~~~~Time Skip~~~~ 

We all walked into the house and placed the box on the table. "Remember, the guy told us to read the directions." Brock commented. "Speaking of which, where are they?" I questioned as if looked around on the box. "Craig, dot you think you should open the box before looking for the directions?" Tyler teased. "Well... Sometimes the directions are on the box!" I pouted. He chuckled causing me to smile. I love his laugh... "Hey Mini, let me see it." Marcel said while grabbing a pocket knife. I handed him the box which he immediately dug into with his knife. He pulled the board out along with a paper which I'm guessing is the directions. "Okay, who wants to read the directions?!" Marcel exclaimed, holding the paper up in the air. "Hey! Marcel! Pass it to me! I wanna read!" Jonathan yelled, throwing his hands in the air. Marcel threw the paper to Delirious which he easily caught. "Okay..." He said as he unfolded the paper. "Step 1: Do not use inside your home. Step 2: Never leave the board without telling the spirits goodbye. Step 3: Do not insult or trigger the spirits in any way, shape, or form. Step 4: Burn board after use," Jonathan listed as he flipped the paper around, "Is that it?" "I guess so..." Evan said as he peered over Jonathan's shoulder. "Well, I guess we can't do it." Brian stated. "What do you mean?" David questioned. "This is our house! The directions said we couldn't do it at our house." Said Brian. "Pft, I doubt it even matters. This shit's gonna be a bust anyways." Lui commented, crossing his arms. Brian rolled his eyes as we set up the Ouija board. "Okay, so, in the movie, everyone put their index finger (idk) on the little eye-glass thingy and relaxed their hands, then the ghosts are supposed to do the rest." Anthony explained. We all put one finger on the glass and relaxed our hands. "Is anyone here?" Luke asked. Everyone was silent... Waiting for something to happen. The glass started to move over to the 'Yes' on the board. "Holy shit! Holy fuck! What the hell!" Tyler freaked. Cody cackled causing us all to look over at him. "It was me! Sorry!" He apologized, still hysteric. Once he calmed down, we put the glass back in the middle and relaxed. "Is anyone here?" Luke asked again. Almost immediately, the glass moved over to the 'Yes'. "Dammit Cody!" Tyler shouted. "D-Dude... That wasn't me." Cody said as he began to tremble. This made Tyler tense. "Okay, who's the dirty fuck?!" Tyler asked. The glass moved to the 'M' and the 'E'. Is this real or is one of the guys fucking with us because this is freaking me out! Tyler began to shake. "Dammit Tyler! Now it's gonna think we insulted it! It said not to insult it on the damn directions!" Marcel yelled. "Guys! Calm down! We need to tell it goodbye and burn the board." I stated. "But I wan to know more! C'mon, let's talk to it a little more. Then we can burn this thing." Anthony whined. I sighed and nodded. "Okay, what's your name?" Anthony asked the ghost. The glass began to move again. 'D' 'E' 'A' 'T' 'H'. Once the glass landed on the 'H' my vision grew hazy. My eyelids grew heavy as I slowly lost consciousness.
