I sit cross legged. The moonlight made everyone look good.
The wind blows, making tons of noise. I plug my ears and look around. Why didn't anyone else hea-
Oh.
But what else do I hear? A loud banging noise. And what do I see?
A terrified look on Wyatt's face.
"Oh God," he mutters. "He's mad!"
The 'wind' stops blowing and I look at Wyatt. "Who's he?"
"Mr. Bean. I call him Mr. Mean." He laughs, but nobody else does.
The laughter quickly dies down.
"Why are you here?" Josh looks at Wyatt, and I want to kill Josh for asking that question.
Wyatt awkwardly looks down and it's silent, until, in a whisper voice, he says
"I'm a runaway."
And that's even enough for Bridget to look up from her phone.
"Oh." Josh bites his lip.
Wyatt was no longer a happy, funny guy. Now he was just...
Wyatt.
"You should go." He looks directly at me.
Bridget scoffs. "Woah. Rude." She rolls her eyes.
I stand up. "Will we meet again?" I ask quietly.
"Maybe." His eyes shine once again and Josh grins, grabbing his phone and standing up.
"Can you guys go to the cemetery tommorow, at midnight?"
That reminds me. I nod. "Yeah. Have you seen a black cat?"
Wyatt leads us to Midnight and I clutch her, not sure if I should be yelling at her for stupidly running away, or smiling because I have her back. "Thank you." I nod.
Mr. Mean's breath was filling the hall. Wyatt whispers quickly. "You have to go. See ya tomorrow." So Bridget, Josh, Midnight, and I sprint down the stairs, killing my ankle. We leave the 'abandoned' factory.
Panting, we all get in the car and Josh drives us home.
Before I get out, Josh grabs my wrist. "See ya tomorrow?"
"Yeah. See ya tomorrow."
I sneak into my room and lay in my bed, Midnight resting on my stomach. We fall asleep,
And dream about tomorrow.
