This Is Who We Are (Sequel of Somewhere over the rainbow)

Boys will be boys

" You disgust me. I better get a good reward after this. "
They scoffed in my face before walking off, becoming one with the large blend of kids leaving school.

" Oh trust me, it'll be fun~ "

We all agreed to ride our old silver matching bikes through the small, loud town. Taking any short cuts we could find to get there and back before sundown.

" Alright gang. "
Caleb announced once we reached our destination.

3 of us sat in a large patch of grass in front of the dark, empty shell of a house while Caleb told us what to do,
but I couldn't help but notice Prims mental absence.

The way her eyes were locked on a single piece of grass, the scrunch that made a frown between her brows. Her heavy yet silent breathing.

" AJ? Are you paying attention? "
Caleb knelt down in front of me with a suttle small glare as his gaze trailed from me to prim then back to me.

" I'm listening. "
I finalized, giving him a blank stare before sighing in his face.

Caleb stood up, continuing his lecture about sticking together at all costs.

<< POV Prim >>

I gotta lose them... Just for a second... I need to see her...

" When we go in, we'll be sticking together at all and any cost- "

" I think we should split up... We'll get to see more of the house instead of staying together... "
I mumbled interrupting Caleb.

" Exactly. We should split up like what prim- HEY WAIT A SECOND THERE MISSY. "
He nodded in agreement before pausing, turning his body to face mine.

" We dont know whats in there. Other kids come here daily, we have no clue whos in there. Gangs, scary teens, druggies- "

" Well then what about we make small groups to split up into? "

" I agree with prim "
AJ said raising a hand in the air, tilting his head back a bit.

" ... Fine... We'll split in 2 groups of 2 then... "
Kim said with a bit of a fearful tone as she glanced to me.
" BUT I CALL PRIM!! "

" B-but I wanted to go with kim... "
AJ calmly mumbled under a sorrow filled tone.

" sorry honey buns, but I gotta go with my gal before my pal!! "
Kim snickered gripping tightly onto my shoulders and shaking me.

" Y-yeah! Gals before pals!! "
I joined in with less enthusiasm but enough to keep the conversation going

" Ahem, but Im pretty sure that saying is for the boys ya know, "pals before gals" not the other way around. "
Caleb explained wrapping an arm around AJ's shoulders

" Ugh, whatever... Boys will be boys... BUT WHATEVER, POSSIBLY HAUNTED HOUSE!! HERE I COME! "
Kimberly shouted, grabbing my hand firmly.

She wrapped her fingers around my palm like snake coils, charging up to the large and dark house with zero regrets or hesitation.

Once we made it up to the door, kimberly inspected it carefully, looking through all the small holes, checking out the dents and ridges.

Kim finally reached for the door nob, turning it slowly, but she still somehow carried this excited and impatient expression on her face.

The door creaked, echoing through the house as I pushed it open. I glanced behind me to see Caleb already looking at me with a look of determination.
