The 7 Nights of Halloween

Chapter 9

Chapter 9

       There was more room switching before any of the animatronics could make it to the control rooms. Now that the animatronics were trying to get into the rooms, it was best to separate Johan and Giovanni, otherwise they would be hiding together which only left two people to do all the work.

       Mason and Daisuke had to stick with me and Ray because, apparently, I was being too horny? I didn't see how wanting to kiss my own boyfriend made me horny. 

       In the end, the groups ended up being Sterling, Johan, Mo, and Stetson, and Maddox, Giovanni, Scott, and Nico.

       Maddox and Mo wanted to be together, but it was a good thing they weren't because then Stetson would have been left alone in the room with Giovanni. Yep, both Maddox and Mo decided to leave their control rooms to run amuck in the arcade.

       Daisuke groaned as he rubbed his forehead, watching the troublemakers on the camera. Honestly, if Ray hadn't lost his vision, he would have one-hundred percent joined them. "I swear, they're giving me a headache. How do I not have grey hair yet?"

       "I know how you feel," Mason said with a heavy sigh. "Is it bad that I still think they're part of it?"

       "No, they're definitely not," I said. "It includes hacking and, no offence to them, they're not smart enough for that. Let alone make the prank this elaborate."

       "You're one to talk," Ray spoke up.

       "Huh?" I asked.

       "You're dumb."

       "Excuse me? You're dumb too, dumbass. How many times have you failed a test in school?"

       "The same amount of times you failed. We always studied together, and failed together because you kept trying to cheat off of me."

       "What? No, you kept trying to cheat off of me."

       "...Oh, no wonder we kept failing. We were cheating off of each other the whole time." Ray laughed. "Wow, we're so stupid."

       Mason sighed. "I don't think that's something you should be proud of."

       "It's okay," Ray said. "We ended up graduating anyway, and my mom never cared too much about my grades as long as I didn't fail a class."

       "Yeah, same with my grandparents," I said. 

       Daisuke hit his head repeatedly on the desk. Mason tried stopping his boyfriend from getting a nasty headache, but Daisuke wouldn't stop. Not until Mason slapped him upside the head. "Get a hold of yourself, Daisuke," Mason said. 

       "I can't!" Daisuke said, gesturing to the cameras. "Not when Mo and Maddox are doing this!"

       I looked at the camera footage before my eyes landed on one screen. Maddox and Mo were following the clown animatronic around, keeping their distance so they could run if it turned around. But still. They could just not be running around.

       "Archie, I'm bored," Ray whined. "Tell the animatronics to get closer."

       "There's no way I'm doing that," I said. "I don't know what those people have planned if we annoy these stupid tasks, or if we fail one, but I would rather not find out. Not when they can hack and probably do a lot more."

       "Ooh, is someone worried about your internet history?" Mason asked.

       "Not really," I said. "It's basically just anything baseball related."
