CHAPTER SEIS








I hop out my window to catch up
with Charli. My parents sleep
early, are heavy sleepers and
usually have the tv on. Of course
it'll be easiest to sneak back in
through the front door because
my mom is kind of gullible but
I hate lying or disobeying the rules
for the most part.


Charli told me she's waiting
for me by the porch,because
I can't take my car. But good
thing we just planned to walk
down to the corner store
and/or find the "tunnels."


I don't understand why the
tunnels scare people, oh
graffiti, ahh. The tunnels have
nice spots for dope ass pictures
I can't post on my main.


"Took you long enough, and your
parents really sleep at ten? Mine
stay up until like one." Charli
chuckles as she goes in to give
me a hug.


"Want to go to tunnels first or get
snacks?" I question as we walk
in the direction of both, not really
knowing what we'll actually
do in the tunnels.


"Snacks of course, who do you
think i am? And wouldn't it make
more sense to get snacks to
eat while chilling in the grimy
tunnels?" Charli states shaking
her head.


Charli nearly skipping down the
sidewalk, I love that she's always
in this pure softie mood. Like how
is someone this happy and cute.


The door to the 7-11 corner
store jingles as we head inside
to buy like gummy worms,
chips, and maybe even like
a slurpee or some other drink.


"What's the snack limit?" She
asks cutely with a small smile
as we move through the isle.


"We aren't moving out there so
we each just need a drink and
like two snacks we can share."
I answer with a shrug, grabbing
some sour gummies.

we both climb down the latter
into the channels where the
tunnels soon start. Our
phone flashlights turned on.


if anyone catches us we could
be in some troubles because
I'm pretty sure this is trespassing.
I guess I must be the boyfriend
of the relationship or some.


"Hurry up slow poke." Charli
chuckles waiting for me at the
bottom looking all cute.


"You're acting like you're the one
that's been here a million times." I
tease as I hop down so we could
head into the tunnels.


There isn't much to do in tunnels,
but Charli knows I like exploring
and she's claimed to never have
been in the tunnels so we took
this opportunity to go.


It's dark enough so no one could
see us unless they see the light
from our flashlight. But who is
going to be outside like we are
at 12 am?


We hear crunching of leaves from
above us, meaning someone is
near. Probably about to tell us to
get out, there has only been a few
occasions where my friends and I
have been caught..


"What are you two doing out
here so late? There are storm
warnings. I recommend y'all
children go to the park or some
if you want to be doing stuff late."
A man says, looking down on us
from the above ground.



We both sigh but I motion Charli
to listen because one time my
friend's didn't listen and the cops
were called. I mean we didn't go
to jail or anything, but like fuck
the police.


We head towards the park which
is back past the 7-11. As we both
get more tired, the more paranoid
we get at little sounds.


We hear a scream, not to close but
not to far. We look at each other
wide eyed and bolt back towards
my house.








*****








"I'm sorry tonight was kind of boring,
there is only so much you can do
when you're grounded and sneak
out." I chuckle as we sit on the curb
waiting for Charli's Uber.


Charli lays her head on my
shoulder before talking. "it's
alright, I just wanted to hangout
anyways. It's still an interesting
night, I mean we heard someone
get murdered." She jokes as she
looks at me, kind of pulling a
Debby Ryan shy face.


"Your Uber is here." I frown as the
white car pulls up in front of my
house. We say our goodbyes
and I watch her leave.


Now I have to sneak back in the
house. But as I get to the door, it
opens and my sisters boyfriend
is leaving. I forgot my sister was
sneaking him in, works for me
though.


"What were you doing sneaking
out late at night?" A voice asks
from somewhere around me,
which only happens to be my
sister who is teasing me.
