Not So Fun Fun House

Chapter 1

I sit patiently as the time ticks away. My dad was supposed to pick me up half an hour ago to meet my friends at "Rollerway" to roller skate. I check my phone every ten seconds to see just how late he is. When I here the doorbell ring I rush out of my room, grab my purse and open the door.

"Sorry I'm late , I-" he starts to say but I cut him off.

"I don't care what your reason is let's just get going." I say as I storm to the car. My dad frowns then joins me in the car. We never have had that father-daughter connection but after my mom died, we are like strangers. I hate thinking about that cool summer night in 03 when I was 5. We are just sitting in the car in silence when he pulls up to the curb. He looks down at me and pouts .

"Are you just going to stare at me or can you be useful and unlock the door?" I snap. People get angry at me for being this disrespectful to my own dad but if they knew why , they would understand.

"Are you ever going to get over it?" He pleaded.

"No and I never am." I say as I pull the tab to unlock the door and get out. I slam the door behind me and enter the building. I look around .When I spot my friends with their skates already on I smile and jog their way. My group of friends is small but I wouldn't change anything about us.

"Where have you been?" Elana exclaims. Elana is the girl I'm closest with. We have been best friends since third grade. Ever since we met , she has always been a witty leader. Every time I am sad she finds a way to make me laugh. Elana is a tall blonde with a hipster sense of fashion. Today she is wearing grey moon sweater with a blue skirt. No matter what season or temperature it is , she won't let it interfere with what she wears.

"Oh my gosh, first that is such a cute outfit!" I squeal , she smiles and I hug her.

"C'mon Clara we are here too!" Mira giggled. Mira was our sassy but never trashy fan girl . We are all , but mostly Mira, is obsessed with the band 'Many Ways'. There are five Australian members named Henry, Lane, Luke, Nick and Zach. Mira's , Elana's and my favorite favorite member is Nick but I also fancy Henry. We were 14 and they were all only 16. Mira can find out anything about the boys like where concerts are and even where the boys are. We actually met her at one of their concerts. After talking to her we realized she went to our school and we all became instant best friends.

I hug Mira and then hug Evie. Evie was the well the eye candy of the group. She always wore tube tops, like she is wearing today, with short short or super skinny leggings. Her long brown hair matched her emerald eyes. She has dated more people than everyone in our group combined. She never seemed to run out of funny poses or faces to show us.

I then turn to the boys in our group. There was Brett and Leo. In 7th grade I took French and got assigned to sit next to Brett. He has brown hair and brown eyes. At first he was shy but I got his number from another friend that used to like him. While I started liking him so did Elana. Elana actually got him number first, then she gave it to me. After many weeks of flirty texts he ended up asking out Elana. Elana was ecstatic while I was heart broken. I thought I actually had a chance but I knew that Elana was just so much prettier and nicer than me. The day after he asked her out I got over my broken heart and was happy for Elana. Brett also started hanging out in our group to get closer to Elana. Brett and I still remained friends even though he knew about my crush on him that I no longer had. Even though I thought I got over my broken heart I was still a little sad when they held hands or hugged. Since we are now in the 9th they are still dating and I'm still soft about the affection between them. Recently they had their first kiss ( they like to take things slow) and I started getting better about them being together.

Leo was the best person you could ever ask to be your friend. Girls always say " I want a gay guy best friend" well I actually had one. In 5th grade when Leo came out and told everyone he was gay, everyone started to pick on him. By this time Elana ,Evie, Mira and I

were all best friends . We saw how the socials , the popular kids, we're treating him so we all stood up for him. Ever since , he hung out with us and we have become super close. If he wasn't gay we would have all tried to date him. Brown hair, crystal blue eyes, tan skin, and a six pack. That boy was hot, many girls have asked him out but he always denied. Sometimes he fan girls with us over Many Ways.

"Okay , let's stop standing here and go roller skating!" Brett say " I wanna be out there before they play a slow song." Brett winks at Elana and she giggles while the rest of us pretend to throw up in our mouths. Except for Evie , she was too busy checking out a waiter. We all head to the empty roller shop to rent our shoes. When we enter the dim lighted room, all I see are rows and rows of skates of every color and size. I'm a size 10 so I have to go to the back of the store to find a pair of skates. When we all get to the back, we see that there are only two size 10s left. A puke green and a pastel pink. I grab the pink and it doesn't fit. I look at the ugly green skate and push harder on my foot. This has to fit! As I try to stand up and push the skate on, I slip and hit my head on the cold cement floor.

"Guys! Help me!" I cry . They come rushing to my side and help me up. When I got up I noticed that we weren't alone at the store. A hooded figure strolls it and stops only a few feet in front of us. We could not see a face, only a black hood, black sweats and black tennis shoes.

"Hello there?" Leo says. The figure doesn't move at first , just turns it's head to look at each one of us. I shake off my shoe and start to head out.

"We'll we better get going guys so-" I say but before I can finish the hooded figure sprints to the entrance of the store and pulls down the cage that the store puts down during closing. We all stand there for a second in shock. We are trapped in the store with this creepy hooded human. We all run the the entrance and bang on the cage.

" Help us please!" We all shriek . No one comes to help us. The store is no where near the rink or the employees station. We are helpless.
