"97, 98, 99, 100" I said uncovering my eyes standing up from my crouched position in the corner.
"ready or not here I come" I called as I walked throughout Marissas house looking for both her and Julia, Marissas 6 year old sister. Just then I noticed a strange lump on the couch and smirked slightly.
"I guess I can't find anyone" I sighed dramatically as I collapsed onto the lump as Julia exploded into a fit of giggles causing me to laugh to.
"I found you" I smiled tickling her as she flailed her arms continuing to giggle.
"do you know where Marissa is?" I whispered
She nodded motioning for me to follow as she walked over to the kitchen. When I walked in I noticed a pile of pots sitting on the countertop, above where I'm almost positive they're supposed to go. I quietly reached over to the handle and yanked it open
"found you!" I yelled as I looked into the empty cupboard. I turned to talk to Julia.
"Julia you lied to-" I started before realizing she wasn't there.
Confused, I jumped up and looked around. For some reason I just felt like there was something spooky going on, and it didn't help that Halloween was just a few nights ago.
"guys, this isn't funny" I said as I pulled out my phone, scrolling up and clicking on the flashlight as I walked up the stairs into the dark.
"I thought upstairs was off limits" nervously I scanned the rooms looking for them
"Marissa, it's not funny anymore. Come on I'm not playing around" I let out a small screech as I tripped over the rug lying on the floor of the hallway.
I could've swore I hear a very slight snicker as I fell to the floor with a thud. Quickly, I regained my feet as I walked to the end of the hallway. I turned hearing a scratching sound as behind me Marissa slowly opened the door and pulled me in causing me to scream in fear.
I spun around and glared at Marissa attempting to kick her shin, and missing, as Julia came running out of a room laughing hysterically.
"oh chill Brooke, that was hilarious" Marissa said inbetween laughs.
"we scared Brookie, we scared Brookie" Julia chanted as she skipped in a circle
"oh come on, I wasn't even scared" I told them rolling my eyes as I fixed my hair
Marissa then walked over to her dresser and picked up her phone that was sitting at an angle you would use to record something.
"I guess we'll just have to see how scared you really looked" she smirked as she sprinted out of her room and into the bathroom locking the door.
I pounded on the door "no! Marissa delete it right now or I swear-"
Just then Julia cut me off "swearing is not nice" she scolded as if she were my mother.
"my apologies Julia, what I meant to say was. DELETE THE VIDEO BEFORE I FREAKING KILL YOU!" I yelled through the door
I felt a stinging on my arm and I realized that Julia smacked me "ow, why'd you hit me?" I asked her raising an eyebrow.
"because you're being bad, mommy and daddy are sleeping you know" she said simply before walking off to her room closing the door. I rubbed my arm for a second before continuing to pound on the bathroom door.
Suddenly the door opened and I hit Marissa in the face "oops" I said taking a step backwards.
"well now I shouldn't feel bad about posting that video on Twitter" she shrugged starting to walk back down the stairs. I followed her.
"you what?" I called after her.
Marissa laughed turning around as she walked back into the kitchen "relax, so far only 16 likes and 9 retweets" she paused "make that 10 retweets" she added.
