I was walking home from school with Aaron when a foul smell assaulted my nose. Aaron being the stupid little boy he is, decided that we should follow the smell and see what it was.
"It's probably just the sewer," I tell him.
"No. The sewer doesn't smell like this," he says, his deep voice echoing off of the surrounding buildings. I don't even wanna know how he knows this stuff. It's probably something him and his friends dared each other to do. The alley starts to get darker when Aaron pulls out his phone and flicks on the flashlight.
Why'd I agree to do this again? Oh yea, so I didn't have to go home to a drunk father. That's sad. When your daughter would rather go off with her enemy rather than go home and deal with you because your drunk.
"Woah..." Aaron mumbles as the smell gets stronger. I pull my hoodie up over my nose trying to block out the smell.
"Geez. This is bad." I whisper to him as I follow him blindly.
"Oh my god..." Aaron says at the same time I let out a blood-curdling scream.
