Chapter 16: My Guardian Devils

We reached the carnival. The whole atmosphere seemed to scream excitement when we got there.

Wow. It’s been a while.

I then remembered the times when I go to carnivals. The times when my mother is still alive.

Hey, Cassie. Are you okay?
Yeah, I just remembered someone. Oh look, a haunted house! Let’s get in there!
Yeah!

…

Attendant: Oops. Sorry. But we only allow two persons at a time. The first two, please come in. Remember, there’s no turning back.

The first one in the line is Galvin, followed by Harris and me. So that meant, the two boys are going together inside.

What the f*ck --
Sh*t! No, wait!

But they can’t do anything. Rules are rules. I just laughed. I wonder how they did within the freaky mansion. I snickered again.

After they all got out…

That was fun!
It wasn’t even a bit.
They name it HAUNTED? Huh, I call it a joke. I wasn’t scared by their phony effects.
Yeah right pal. By the way Cassie, who was your partner?
Some guy. It wasn’t as if I have a choice. I can’t get off the line.

All of the sudden, a wavy-haired girl approached me and slapped my face! I gape at her in bewilderment.

Girl: You deserve that for going with my boyfriend inside the haunted house!
B*tch!
Hey, hey what’s up with you woman?
Girl: Woman? Do I look that old to you, cutie?
Yeah, I’m afraid you are. You did not just hurt our friend here, didn’t ya?
Girl: Er-- You know her?
She’s our girl. And it’s not as if she wanted to be with your boyfriend inside the house. We ourselves didn’t have a choice.
As were saying, if you mess with Cassie here again, you know what you’ll end to.
Girl: W-whatever.
Hey, wait up. You forgot something.
Girl: What?
Apologize to her.
Girl: Why would I do that huh?
Will you or---

Galvin raised his arms. The girl looked terrified.

Girl: I’m sorry okay!

Then she ran away.

Hey you guys, that was bad. She was a girl you know.
But she harmed you.
And she was unforgivable.
Aw, thanks guys. The b*tch deserve it anyways. (giggled) C’mon, I’ll treat you guys with ice cream!
Cassie, puh-lease. Do we look like kids to you?
What flavor do you want?
Chocolate!
Hey me too!
