five: it's like some fucking children of the corn shit.

THE THREE TEENS WALKED INTO THE CORN MAZE.

"I bet we're gonna die. This is why I love Christmas. Not Halloween, Christmas!" Cece shouted, becoming nervous.

"Girl, take your chill pills." Megan whispered, nudging her shoulder.

"If you get scared, you can hold onto my arm." Tommy assured the blonde.

Cece scoffed.

"I'm not scared."

A crow came out of the corn field next to the three, making Cece scream.

"OH MY GOD, IT'S GONNA KILL ME, OH MY GOD!" Cece cried, basically jumping onto Tommy's arm.

The three stopped walking, and watched the crow fly away.

"Sure you're not scared-"

"Shut up, Megan."

"Hubie!" Megan called out.

"Mr. DuBois!" Tommy yelled.

"Cool thermos guy!" Cece shouted.

"Hubie!"

"Hello?!"

"Where are you?!"

"Should we split up?" Tommy asked the two.

"I don't know. This sounds like a big boner." Megan cringed.

"What?!" Tommy asked.

"I'm just kidding." Megan smiled, "Yeah, you two go that way."

Tommy and Cece turned right and began walking down that part of the corn maze.

"This is gonna sound...so awkward." Tommy started, as the two walked next to each other.

Cece looked up at Tommy.

"How come you and Megan don't look too...similar?"

Cece laughed and adjusted her Santa hat.

"Oh. I'm a foster kid, just like you. The McNally family tries to make me feel like I'm really apart of the family by saying I look like my quote on quote 'mom.' It just makes me feel..."

"Weird?" Tommy asked.

Cece nodded, kicking a rock with her high heels.

"Doesn't mean you're not apart of the family. You've been living with them for a long time now, you and Megan have grown onto each other, and your parents seem to like you. You're winning in life." Tommy shrugged.

"Same goes to you, I'll say?" Cece asked.

Tommy nodded, smiling.

"Well, it seems we both fit our new families." Cece smiled.

Tommy smiled down at the shorter girl.
