The Devil's Game

Chapter two

Waking up the next morning, Friday has finally come. It's Friday the thirteenth. A great day to have a party. Getting ready with my music on blast is great. Singing along to my favourite tunes. It takes me around twenty minutes to get ready.

Packing my things in my school bag, I head upstairs with my things, packing my lunch. Grabbing leftovers from before, I chuck everything in my bag. Grabbing an apple, "bye Mom, bye dad." I say before leaving the house. Just as I was about to close the door, my mom said, "don't forget to take out the garbage on your way out. And that your father and I are leaving for the weekend so when you get home, we won't be here."

"Okay, have fun."

Walking down the front, I grab the garbage bin, rolling it to the curve and leaving for school. Walking along the side of the busy road, I eat my apple, ingesting every bite, every juicy bite. Throwing the core into the trash can, I walk up to the school yard meeting Melody, Jane, Kristy and Justin.

"Hey girl, ready to get this sluggish day over with so we can party!" Melody bursted rubbing her shoulder against mine. I giggled at her enthusiastic personality.

Heading inside, we took a seat on the steps talking of what tonight's going to be like. As the time passed, the school began to fill quickly. Soon enough, the bell rang as we all hustled to our classes. Settling in my seat, I took my books and got ready for the first class. The announcements came on as we sat there quietly listening. Then the national anthem came on as we stood.

"Okay class, take out your books and turn to page 181 and start reading, jotting down important notes. Reading the book, I got side tracked as I got lost in my own mind. Snapping out of it, I continued reading.

During lunch, I sat with my friends. As we ate around our table, the two guys we bumped into yesterday, came up to us. The one who I don't know stayed back a few feet. Hudson came up to Melody.

"Hey, nice to bump into you again."

"Yeah, nice." Melody rolled her eyes while drinking her water. "Look, Harold."

"Hudson."

"Hudson, go before you're sorry." she threatened. "Well, I'm going to do just the opposite." 

Hudson pushed his way beside her.

"Hudson, let's go." his friend said.

"Just wait, I got something for this chick."

"You've got ten seconds to get out of here before I beat you."

"Hudson," his friend said with stern. 

He wrapped his arm around her neck smiling. "If we do something just the two of us, I will leave you alone."

"Like what?"

"You, me, alone in a bedroom tonight. I heard there's a party going on,"

Melody smiled one of the smug smiles. "Okay, just you and me crawling into bed together. Fooling around." Melody grabbed onto his shirt, leaning ever so close to his face giving that evil grin. 

"Yeah, just tonight and I will leave you alone."

"In your dreams." She pushed him off the bench landing on the concrete. "Now I thought that went well." Hudson got up running his head. "Bugger off."

Flipping him the finger, the five of us chuckled. "This isn't the last of me."

He stormed off. His friend is still standing there. Looking up at him, I responded, "You do realize that your friend there is a creep."

Without saying a word, he kept staring at us, his expression not changing. "You seem innocent, come sit with us." Justin invited. He didn't budge. "Come, we don't bite, plus we aren't going to get mad." Kristy exclaimed, waving him over. Hesitated, he glanced over his shoulder before slowly making his way over. Melody patted a seat beside her where Hudson sat. He sat down looking petrified. We locked gazes. "So, what is your name?"
