    "We are going to have so much fun at my house Nina!" June linked arms with me as we made our way out to the buses.

    I glanced at Julian warily sending a distress signal, to which he just shook his head. So I was dragged onto a bus and sat right beside June, Julian sat across the aisle by himself-not seeming bothered.

    "You're gonna love my house! It's old but amazing!" June squeezed my arm and squealed excitedly.

    "I...Can't wait?" I nervously smiled and subtly pushed June away.

    "Of course you can't!"

    I sit awkwardly next to June through the whole bus ride, June informed me, her's was the last stop. I hadn't expected the bus to stop beside what looked like a forest.

    "Here we are!" June sprang up and pushed me out of the bus hastily.

    "Where is here!?" I shouted, looking around at the foliage in awe and worry.

    "We just need to walk deeper and we arrive at my house~" June started walking along a small dirt path that led deeper into to forest.

    I bit my lip, this was some sketchy stuff. Julian patted my head before following behind June. Sighing shakily, I decided to check my phone for a signal just in case...There was one, thank goodness. I had only one option though, and that was following June and Julian, hoping they weren't going to kill me.

    The light began to fade as we went on, the trees were starting to cover the sky more, there was even some creepy birds. My stomach tightened and I had a really bad feeling about June and Julian's home.

    "Home sweet home!"

    I looked forward and gaped, in front of us stood an old Victorian styled mansion. June and Julian lived an the creepiest place I had ever seen.

    "Th-this is your house!?" I was about ready to sprint away if they made any sudden movements.

    "Yeah, it's a little old but our moms family lived here, so we moved from New York to here because we wanted to keep the...Tradition?" June shrugged and skipped up to the dark entrance.

    "June...Are your parents home?" I stood next to Julian, he didn't seem to happy about my reaction of the house though.

    "Well, my mom works late at the hospital today..." June crossed her arms and smiled. "So just us~"

    I frowned in confusion. "What about your dad?"

    June laughed. "He's over there." She pointed to a grave and I felt my heart stop.

    "Wh-what?"

    "He died a few months after we moved here." June reached for the door handle. "Come on, I wanna show you my room!"

    My thoughts were racing, this type of thing was in horror movies! I bit my lip and reluctantly walked towards June. This is what the stupid protagonist of said horror movie would do! Nina you better run now! Despite my thoughts, I still went into the house, like a stupid horror movie protagonist.

    It was actually really beautiful on the inside. Even though the outside was...creepy and not in the best condition.

    "What do you think so far Nina?" June eagerly asked, grinning in excitement.

    "It's really pretty June!" I smiled back, the feeling of uneasiness never left however.

    June nodded and dragged me up the staircase in front of us, we entered the first door on the right. I was welcomed to the sight of pink and a bunch of plush bunnies. June had a surprisingly girly room, it was filled with stuffed bunnies too.

    "So~What do you think of my room?" June shyly asked.

    "It's really cute." I leaned over and touched one of the stuffed bunnies.

    "Thank you!" June grabbed my arm and pulled me out.

    "Julian I'm gonna show Nina your room! Then we're going to the kitchen for food!" June reached for the door knob of Julian's room.

    Before she could throw it open, Julian grabbed her hand and shook his head, throwing June and me through a loop.

    "What?"

    I glanced at June's surprised face, judging by how Julian usually was and June's shock, I could assume Julian never really refused any of June's ideas. He again shook his head and slipped in front of his door, blocking it.

    "N-Nina's a guest! We have to show her our rooms." June frowned and let go of my arm.

    Julian shook his head once more and flicked June's forehead. She glared at him and huffed with frustration.

    "Okay fine, she's more my guest, but still!" June crossed her arms.

    Julian rolled his eyes and sighed.

    "Guys...I have homework I need to do, I don't need to see Julian's room June." I attempted to ease June away from Julian by pulling her arm.

    "Fine! But if you ask me it's like he's hiding something!" June stomped down the stairs and I paused before following.
