Carter and Jamie waited behind the bush.

Everything was dark, except for the single porch light from their house.

Carter's breath was hot against the hockey mask pulled down over his face.

"I spy a gaggle of witches," Jamie said through his own hockey mask.

"Ugh," Carter said. "You're such a f***ing dork."

"Whatever," Jamie whispered. "Get ready to jump in..."

Carter gripped his rake tightly.

"3... 2... 1..."

The two friends jumped out, growling and brandishing their rakes. They landed their jump in front of the three girls, and the girls screamed.

The girls turned around and began to run.

Fantastic. Carter thought this was only gonna be a jump scare, but this made it even more fun.

He chased after them, relishing the sound of their terror.

Carter lagged a little bit so there was some space between him and the girl he was chasing, and used it to swing the rake around, grunting loudly as he did it.

The girl glanced behind her as he did it, and it caused her to trip on an uneven square of the sidewalk.

She tripped and fell down on some grass. Carter didn't really pay any attention. He passed her, running harder to catch up to where Jamie was chasing the other two girls into the woods on the other side of the road.

The girls scrambled down the woods into the dark. Unfortunately, Carter and Jamie did more scrambling down the hill than running.

Jamie slipped on some leaves, and like the idiot he was, fell down on his a**.

"Sh*t!" Jamie said.

The girls spun around.

Jamie's mask had fallen off, exposing his face in the moonlight.

"You dipsh*ts!" Olivia shouted at them. "I should've known it was you."

The jig up, Carter raised his mask, exposing a wicked grin.

"You guys should've seen your faces!" Jamie laughed. "I've never seen anyone so scared!"

"I can't believe you two...," Olivia fumed. "You're.... you take pleasure from the pain of others. You think you're so funny, scaring people, playing pranks, and you never know the pain you make everyone feel."

"Chill out guys," Carter blew raspberries, "we were just messing around."

"Augh!" Ellie groaned, "I hate it, how people think they can just say 'it was a joke,' and that makes everything right."

"And," Olivia scowled, "we aren't 'guys'. I don't like being called a guy, and I also don't like the other use of it, treating us like we're your friends or something. We are not your friends."

"Well, um," Jamie muttered.

"Wait a second," Ellie said, "where's Rachel?!"

"I dunno," Carter shrugged, "she tripped or something on the sidewalk."

"And you just ran past her?" Olivia exclaimed. "You two... you just... are complete bast*rds!"

"Olivia...," Ellie tried to calm her.

"No!" Olivia snapped at her, "I'm done with these two tormenting all the girls in school."

"Stop Olivia," Ellie said, "you're not thinking straight..."
