CHAPTER 1
"Mom, please stop that it’s really embarrassing!" I murdered under my breath.
"Oh my Katylin I'm just trying to have some fun! You should try it sometime."
"Please stop! I'm begging you please! This is a store not a dance! Just act like a normal mom for once please!" I said aggravated that my mom kept dancing to the song that was on in the store. What if someone I know comes and sees us! I would be so dead.
"Oh alright! Now, which pair of jeans do you want we can't get both and you know that, were tight on money because your father got fired from his job."
Dad had his job for 25 years and they let half the factory go because of finical reasons. This really was frustrating because our entire family is on very small budget. “I know mom. And I want the black ones."
After we checked out we got in the car and i bought me and mom Starbucks coffee, but no one talked the whole way home. I wonder if mom is still upset about dad, but with her you could never tell. She was like a woman of many secrets that no one knew. Of course with me though, I was an open book. Everyone knew everything about me; people knew my secrets before I knew them myself.
We walked inside and a burst of air hit my face. Dad must have the fan on again. I smelled pizza, which was my favorite food. I walked into the kitchen to see my dad devouring a piece of pizza.
"Dig in!" my dad said with his mouth full.
I grabbed a piece and started to bite into it when my phone vibrated. I got a plate and went into my room. The text was from my best friend Lynn.
“MEET ME AT THE PARK AROUND 12AM, WE NEED TO TALK. - LYNN"
This couldn’t be good, every time she says we need to talk it always ends bad, and it was weird she said at 12am, her parents would kill her if they knew she was out past curfew. I texted her back:
"WHY 12? THAT SEEMS A LITTLE LATE."
The phone buzzed almost immediately, which that was also odd it takes her almost 5 minutes to respond on average.
"JUST DO AS I SAY KAYTLIN."
This was very weird and it didn’t seem right, but of course I listened to her and went.
CHAPTER 2
It was midnight, just like Lynn said. I was standing agenst the big oak tree that has been around for a long time. Finally I see her car pull up next to the long slide, I walk over to her car useing my phone as a flash light becuase it was pitch black outside. I see her step out of the car in a black hoodie and skinny jeans with brown boots on. Her face is red and blotchy, as if she had been crying.
"Lynn, hey where do you want to talk at?"
"I don't care, but this is what i needed to tell you, my parents kicked me out of the house today, and i have nowhere to live. My aunt can't take me in becuase of the new baby so I was wondering if i could stay with you for a while."
"Umm Lynn why couldn't you tell me this during the day?" I could see my breath in the air as i spoke every word i said.
"Because if i couldn't stay with you I would stay here."
"Well, yes you can stay with me."
"Thank you Kaytlin"
We both drove back to my house and she halled her luggage into my room. As she was doing that I noticed a Camera was in her suitcase, one that i had never seen before. "What is that camera I have never seen it before" I asked her
"Nothing!" she said and snatched the camera and put it in a box with a combination lock on it.
CHAPTER 3
I was wondering what was on that camera that she didn't want me to see. I couldn't sleep that night becuase i just kept thinking about that camera. Finally i just got up and walked over to the box with the lock on it. First i gussed her birthday as the comination. Nope, that wasn't it. I tried about 25 diffrent combinations until the numbers hit me. 6-19-1. The day i 1st meet her. FInally the box opened. I took the camera out. I turend it on and it flashed samsung on the screen. Finally, it came on and I looked through but there was nothing on it. I kept looking then i found videos. There was one video. I clicked on it and a picture of Lynn on a couch showed up. I clicked on the videos to watch it. It was Lynn sleeping on a couch, which seemed normal. I don't see why she has to hhide that from me. But then something werid happend. Something really werid, Lynn begin to float in the air. There was no strings, no poles, no wires, she was floating. I was terrifed! Was my best friend some sort of witch?
" What are you doing?" Lynn said
"Lynn! Oh my gosh, umm I was just, looking"
"Looking through my stuff?"
"Why are you floating in this video!" I yelled.
Lynn sighed, she knew she was going to have to tell me, sooner or later. We both sat down on my bed and she began to talk.
"A year ago, someone sent me a chain text. I get them all the time so I though it was no big deal, so I deleted it. About an hour later I got anthor text, from an unknown number saying that something strange, something wierd would happen to me. I ignored it, but to be honest I was a little scared. So i set up a video camera in my room whie I slept. When I woke up in the moring I saw this, me floating. I was so scared, and I never told anyone. I locked it in a safe so no one would ever find it and watch it. But now you have an my secret is out."
