The two meet in a coffee shop on there college campus. Henry went there to work on some history assignments that were do this week. He'd found this place was one of the best places to go for peace and quiet, besides the liberal. And it was later the usually for Henry to do his work. The liberal was closed by now so there he went. Joey goes to the coffee shop to get warm up after an investigation if it was cold out. Which it was that night. He would read a book he was on which at that time was a book oh true other worldly stories.

He was on a story about a girl that could talk to the dead, when he looked up and saw this guy his age paying for his coffee He was good looking in a nerdy way. But he was also a nerd to. Joey closed the book and got up, walking over to the guy who was waiting for his coffee.

He leans on the wall next to the guy. "Hey, you waiting for coffee?"

Henry looked at him. "Me?"

Joey nodded. "Yes. Sorry. You waiting?" Joey scratched the back of his own head, nervously.

Henry smiled. "No worries man. Yea I'm waiting for my coffee. Are you?"

"Uh. I uh already drank mine." Joey pointed to his table, failing miserably to ack cool.

Henry looked at the guys table and sees a book and a mostly empty coffee cup. "Your into that kind of things? Ghost and monsters?" There was no judgment in Henry's voice. It was all wander.

Joey smiled and nodded. Glad he didn't bale out by now when Joey was being awkward and glad he wasn't judging him. "Are you?

Henry shook his head no. "Nah. I never gotten into the paranormal. "He replied. The employee called his name and he grabbed his coffee and they both sat at the table Joey was a few minutes before. "Do you believe in it?"

Joey nodded without a doubt. "Oh yes. I don't just believe in it. I seen it with my own eyes!" He said passionately. "Do you believe in it?"

Henry took a long moment before shrugging his shoulders. "I'm not really sure. I mean there got to be other..things out there but I never really thought of these stuff, I guess." Henry sipped his coffee.

"Would you..like to see...?" Joey asked. "There are haunted places around here. I could take you if you like?" Joey offered

"I don't know..your not gonna murder be and make me become a ghost haunting a house right?" Henry Joked.

Joey chuckled at his joke. "Hmm not sure. I haven't decided what to do with you yet."

The two both chuckled for a good minute then Joey turns to him. " i'm serious. I'll show you the other side if you want."

"You know what, Sure. I'll take you on that offer." Henry nodded. And that's how Henry Stain gotten a date at an abandoned haunted house next Saturday.

On the next following Saturday Henry meet Joey in game room of there dorms rooms. "Are you ready?" Joey ask him once he got there. "You know you can back down at anytime you need to, right?"

Henry nodded. "I got it. I'm ready."

The two had to sneak around to get off campus. They hide behind walls, ran to the next spot and kept out of the lights so the security guards don't see them. When they made it off campus they could relax now as they walked to there location.

Henry followed Joey down the side of the  road then down a dirt path, leading deeper into the woods. it took a while but they came upon a run down house.

Joey slipped off his bag off his shoulder and unzipped it. "Couple things you should know first Henry. 1: because were you step. Lucky there's no basement but you have to be careful going up the stairs and walking around. Could be holes or the floor could be ready to cave in."
