  I stared at the pizza delivery guy, he wore a black hoodie covering his face, a white shirt too small for his body which exposed his dark skin and a pair of black shorts.

 I coughed and asked, " where is the pizza?" The pizza dude dropped the remaining empty boxes and pulled out something from his pocket.

  A gun.

 Some girls screamed. "Put your phones and valuables in the boxes know!" Pizza dude said, "or else I'm gonna kill somebody,"

  Everyone started dropping our phones and other stuff. "None of you got cash?" Pizza dude asks menacingly. "How are we supposed to go home?" Jamie asks.

   Pizza dude points his gun at Jamie, "You idiot. " he shouts and then pulls the trigger.

  BANG!!! Jamie falls to the ground groaning. Everybody is freaked out. Pizza dude laughs, "who's next?"


  "Am I dead?" Jamie asked the crowd. Everybody laughs but only for a little while. Pizza dude raises his gun in the air and shoots till we quiet down, "how come you're not dead?" Jackson asks Jamie, " I think I dodged the bullet" Jamie replied. I groaned out loud, " If there was a bullet we would have heard it drop or something, I think the gun is a phony," I say. People listening to me agree.

  Pizza dude passes by me monitoring the filling up of the boxes, "hurry up I got to go before the cops come" he says. I notice something familiar about him, he smells familiar, very familiar.

 "You almost had me fooled... Joe" I say to Pizza dude, everyone is confused. "what in the world are you talking about?" someone asks.

   "I swear I'll shoot you,"  Pizza dude says. "Then shoot me," I say regretting every word.

  Pizza dude points his gun at me and shoots. I'm still standing, no pain, no blood, no sound of a bullet dropping to the floor.

  Joe removes the hoodie from his head and grins at us, "booh!!" people shout at Joe. "you're lucky this guy interfered or else, I'd have more phones to play table tennis with." Joe says.

   We all collect our properties from the box when a guy named Clint asks " what happened to the pizza delivery guy?" he asks Joe, " I attacked him on the way here and ate the pizza, yum! " Joe replies. " Is the gun even real?" Jamie asks " Of course not, I got it for my birthday." Joe says.

  And then it hits me, "You threw the ballon into the pool," I say to Joe, he nods."Hope I ruined your party?" he asks. " Yep you sure did, the party is over." Zee says " Go home, everyone."

  Everyone obeys, Joe stops me before I leave, "Read my lips skinny man, get your coffin ready cause   in two days you'll be six feet under." Joe says to me, I gulp painfully.
