chapter XVIII - boo!

          They arrived barely on time at the school given that Mary was even speeding. When they got there both girls separated quickly because unlike Mary Kylie actually had a job, a job that she had the first and second shift of. This meant for the next two hours she was to be a wondering ghost spooking teenagers in a haunted woods.

        Mary ended up heading off to the field where one half was a survival zombie paintball area and the other was concessions and a lot of other fun games for the younger ones. During that time Kylie was to scare kids and Mary searched for the one she was to be meeting there. The next two hours after that seemed to pass by quickly. 

     Quicker than Kylie actually thought when she felt a gentle tap on her shoulder, "Hey your shift is over, I can take over from here," the words came from one of the other girls who was to work tonight.

      "Thank god," Kylie sighed in relief as she backed away from her spot to sneak out of the haunted house.

     By the time she did was when she was suddenly taken by surprise when somebody grabbed her arm pulling her into them. Before she could even yell out a hand clasped over her mouth to muffle her voice.

     "Before you start to panic, it's Julian," his voice gave her tensed body relief.

     He dropped his hand from her mouth and Kylie automatically whirled around to face him but was faced with an old plague doctor's mask.  Upon further examination she noticed he was really dressed like a doctor back in the time of the bubonic plague. Just with a modern twist to it.

     She gave him a smirk, "Nice costume, 'doctor' Monroe."

     His sigh was easily heard as he pulled back the hood of the hoodie he wore and removed the birdlike mask, "I swear you and Mary must hang around each other way too much."

     "Maybe, but who is rubbing off on who though?" she responded with a sly smile.

      He shook his head trying not to laugh at her remark, "That's actually a really good question."

     "So, Julian, where exactly are you headed to that required the pulling of me over here?" Kylie inquired from him.

    Those blue eyes of endless deep blue shone with something she knew meant no good but yet she smiled anyways, "Well, it's Friday, and a Halloween night, so I was going to see about kidnapping a beautiful student and bringing her to somewhere a little fun say like an abandon, or forgotten, church that I promise will be worth your time."

     Kylie looked at him, studying him, "You know I think I'll take you up on that offer," she told him with a smile.

     He returned that smile right as he put the mask of the plague doctor's back on and pulling the hood of the black hoodie he wore back up. He took her hand in his and lead her to the back of the school where they would sneak out the door to the parking light. She smirked seeing his bike knowing that now this was going to be a night to remember.
