"I was thinking we could do this at your house tonight" Scarlet says

I turn around to face her and take my eyes of the road for a split second. She has a Ouija board in her hands. I pull the car over to the side of the road immediately. I turn off the car.

"What the hell Scar?!" I yell

"What?!" She questions

"Get that out of my car!" I yell in anger

"Woah Aria chill!" Scarlet says

"Can you guys keep it down I'm on the phone!" Emily yells from the backseat

"Why the hell do you have that?! You know how I feel about that kind of stuff!" I defend

"I know but we haven't done anything all night! And it's Halloween I thought it would be kind of fun!" Scarlet yells back at me

I sit there in silence with my hands still on the wheel even though the car has stopped. This is exactly the kind of thing Scarlet would do. Always taking a risk on the wild side.

"Why does it have to be at my house?!" I say

"Because my house is far away and Em would never agree to this" Scarlet says

"I don't agree to this! And I wouldnt mind driving!" I yell

"Yeah but your easier to persuade" she says

"Uh! What are you trying to say!" I say

"That your to nice to turn down an offer" she says

"Well I'm turning down this one" I say

"Please! Pretty Please!" She begs

I hear Emily hang up on the phone behind us. She shrieks when she sees the board.

"Is that what I think it is?!" Emily says in fear

"Yes! It's a Ouija board!" I yell

"What the hell!" Emily screams

"Exactly my point!" I say

"Guys stop being so scared! Take a chance on the wild side with me!" Scarlet says

"I'd rather not I prefer my side better" I say

"The boring side?" Scarlet says

"You guys are insane!" Em says

"Whatever! We're not using that thing! Especially not at my house!" I say

*****

After about an hour of arguing I finally decided to agree to the insane idea. I knew Scarlet wouldn't stop until she had what she wanted so it was no use in fighting.

I give her a look. I start the car again and begin to drive home. I didn't want to do this what so ever. I'd rather be at home snuggled up on the couch watching Netflix. But NOOOOO! I have an insane friend who like to do insane things. I tried taking my time driving as much as possible. I didn't want to get to my house to play with that thing.

Sadly I finally pull up in my driveway. I park the car and turn it off. I inhale and exhale. I don't think I could do this. There is no way. I'm not going to do this. I hear my friends unbuckling their seat belts, I'm still in mine.

"Come one Aria! Lighten up, it'll be fine!" Scarlet says

She exits the car a closes the car door shut. Emily does the same. They walk up to my door. I wish it wasn't my door. I wish it wasn't my house. I wish we weren't doing this Ouija thing.

I unbuckle my seat belt even though I don't want to what so ever. I get the keys to the car and get my purse. I exit the car and close the car door. I lock it with my keys. Scarlet stares at me with excited eyes waiting for me to open the door.
