Screaming and Running

Chapter Two: AshiYama

The screams of Kaminari and Jirou could be heard from inside. Ashido looked around at her fellow classmates. Some were laughing nervously, others were talking about how scared they were, and a few were talking about what they thought Denki and Kyouka were doing.

The pink-skinned girl looked at the crippled "haunted" house. She could see the electrical cords running into the building, and a few people (who probably were working there) were drinking from water bottles in the back.

Nah, this isn't scary. It's so fake, it's really just a bunch of people with makeup on yelling at you. Heh, kind of like my mom!

So, who am I gonna go with? Hmm, I could go with Sero. But maybe Tsuyu wants to go with me-

Ah, no. She and Ochaco should go together. What about Shouji? Ehhh, Nah, he's too big.

Oh, I know! The biggest scaredy cat beside Kyouka? Aoyama! Oh my god, he's so twitchy, this is gonna be so much fun!

She ran up to the spooked Frenchmen, touching his shoulder. This caused him to jump, and he shakily regained his composure, saying; "Oui, Ash-shido?"

"We should through the haunted house together! I'll protect you, okay?" The teenager said with a big grin.

Aoyama nervously waved his hands, declining. "Non, non. I'll be just fine."

"Aww, come on! I need to go in with someone, and it should be you! We'll be fine, okay?"

"Umm, well-"

"Come on Aoyama-kun! It'll be great!" She grabbed onto his arm, getting very close to his face. "Please!"

Ashido obviously is not going to back down, so he reluctantly agreed. "Okay, fine."

And with that, Pinky was happily skipping through the hallways, wearing a wide smile and excitedly looked around everywhere. Aoyama, however, was doing the opposite. His knees were at the edge of collapse, and his arms were tucked in his chest. His face was blue and his eyebrows were furrowed.

And when a monster popped out from a hole in the wall, or a creepy creature started to antagonize them, their reactions were completely opposite as well.

Aoyama would scream, his tones shifting much like someone singing in an opera, saying things in his native tongue like "OH MOM DIEU" and "POURQUOI". He would flail his arms violently, and slam himself in the opposite side of whatever was attacking.

Ashido, however, wasn't paying any particular attention to the things that were supposedly supposed to scare her. Her focus was on Aoyama, who's a reaction to each jump was comically priceless. She couldn't stop laughing, and when she did, another spooky actor would race at them, sparking another screech from Aoyama, making her guffaw again.

By the end of the journey, both were gasping air, of course for different reasons.

Another thing happened in the end; their picture had gotten taken, while another actor yowled at them. It was Ashido laughing, and holding hands tightly with Aoyama.

Yeah, she totally is pinning that one to her wall.
