One night, Jenna Smith, Veronica Quinn, and Reagan Gray were at a sleepover at Veronica's house. They went home with her after school that day. Veronica's mother turned onto the road they lived on. They passed Jenna's house. Jenna's mother was outside with her dog.
"Blow the horn at my mom." Jenna shouted over the music.
Mrs. Quinn obliged. Jenna's dog barked as the car passed. They drove into the wooded part of the spaced-out neighborhood. As they turned into the driveway, the sun was blocked out by trees. The farther down the long driveway they got, the brighter it got.
The house was in a little clearing in the woods. It was a long trailer with yellowish siding and a dark roof. A porch was connected to the front door. Plants were sitting all over the porch. The steps were too close together and Jenna and Reagan took them two at a time. The woods to the right of the house belonged to the Quinns until you got to the road. The woods on the left were cut off at a sign that said no trespassing, but that was a little way in. The girls knew this because they'd been there before. They walked in the creek that was in the right woods.
The inside of the house was cluttered. Yard sale stuff was piled against the unfinished back porch. The reason for this being that the doors were there, but the porch wasn't. You would fall six feet if you tried to go out those doors. The furniture was different, but only Reagan noticed. The kitchen and computer area was to the left of the living room. Unbeknownst at the time, but Mister and Mrs. Quinns' bedroom was back there too. To the right was Veronica's room, a bathroom, and a guest bedroom, also filled with yard sale stuff. That was the room that Reagan and Jenna had slept in last time. A deer head sat on a pedestal before you turned into the bathroom.
The girls played on the Wii for a while before creating Sims. Veronica's was a human, Reagan's was a vampire, and Jenna's was an alien. They didn't want to build a house, so they tried to buy one. Eventually, Veronica got a house up and running. It was late, so Veronica fell asleep on the couch while Jenna and Reagan continued to play on the Sims. They didn't play long before they, too, decided to go to sleep.
Reagan got up from her chair and screamed. There was a spider on the floor. It was about 3 inches long and its legs added another 3 inches. It was brown and black and you could see it's hair. Jenna stood up to see what Reagan was screaming about. She saw the spider and stifled a scream of her own.
"Roni. Wake up. There's a monster in your house." Reagan said.
"What is it?" Veronica asked.
"It's a tarantula." Reagan said.
"Just leave it alone and go to sleep." Veronica said. She got up and went to her room.
Reagan, who was an aspiring YouTuber, decided to livevlog the entire thing. The spider was in the little walkway between the kitchen and the computer area. Mr. Quinn had left his dinner sitting at his desk and it was gathering gnats. Jenna wasn't bothered by them, because, for once, the bugs weren't bothering her. Reagan, on the other hand, freaked out again.
"Jenna, get rid of the ga-nats." Reagan said.
"It's pronounced nats." Jenna said.
She stuck her hand out and the tiny bugs swarmed around it. Jenna shook her hand to get the gnats away from it. She grabbed the plate and walked the long way to the trash can. Reagan was looking around for something to kill the spider with. She found some sticky mouse traps and called Jenna over.
"I found these." Reagan took one out of the package. "How do mice get stuck to these anyway?" She asked after sticking her finger to it.
"They chew their legs off," Jenna said. "I'm going to throw this at the spider."
