To say they were going to Uncle Gaten's was a bit of lie. They were going to the house owned by him but they weren't gonna see him. Gaten and Lizzy were away on vacation for their fifteenth anniversary. Therefore someone would be there just not them. 

Scarlett watched lazily out the passenger window as the scenery whizzed past around them. "I'm so excited." She breathed. 

"I bet we haven't seen Kela in a couple years." Mike agreed from the driver's seat, glancing at the girl through the rearview mirror. 

"According to Mama, Carlie is staying with Kela while her parents are gone." She said excitedly.

Mike groaned. "I did not sign up for that witch." He stated, disgust clear in his voice. 

From beside him the brunette gasp, her hazel eyes filled with shock. "Carlie is my absolute baby so shut up, Wolfhard." She said sharply.

Mike didn't say another word on the subject but he wanted to. Carlie was the vain of his existence. Out of all the kids of his parents friends she was his least favorite-even worse than Chris or Mackenzy.

Scarlett on the other hand was closest to Carlie if you could believe that the brunettes were inseparable and dangerous when they got together. Maybe that was a good thing since they were only gonna have 168 hours to stop Blaine after reaching the house.

"You did not just post about this." Mike said dryly. 

He had to drive for over two hours while she got to play on Instagram? Not fair.

Scarlett shrugged and put her phone away. "Does it matter? Now drive."

It was a little after six when the group arrived at the Matarazzo residence. Saying Scarlett was excited was an understatement. She was almost bouncing with excitement. 

"Chill, Scar, remember why we're here." A not so thrilled Mike said as he climbed out of the car. 

"Chill?" Scarlett repeated. "You chill, Wolfhard." With that she ran toward the front door, completely leaving the kids and Mike behind. 

The door was surprising unlocked and so she went right in. "Hello?" 

There was noise from down the hall, followed by the sound of feet hitting the wooden flooring. Carlie Grazer appeared in the hallway entrance a moment later, her dark hair back in a bun. "Scarly!" She squealed and jumped on the girl.

They fell back onto the carpet with a soft thud causing them both to burst out in laughter. 

"I missed you, babe." Carlie sighed, wrapping her arms tightly around Scar once they sat up. 

Scarlett hugged her back tightly. "I missed you too, Car." the brunette smiled and kissed her  cheek. "Where's Kela?" 

"She went to pick up pizza with my dad since Postmates isn't working." Carlie explained, not letting go of her. 

 Carlie Liliana Grazer was the eldest daughter of Jack Grazer, one of Scarlett's dad's close friends from teenage years. She was adopted due to the fact that he wasn't married nor even had a girlfriend. 

Carlie was beyond pretty in Scar's opinion with long dark curls that never seemed to stop and chocolate brown eyes. She was half Mexican on her mother's side and that made her even prettier. 

"Look what the cat dragged in." Carlie sneered, watching Mike walk through the open door. 

"What did you see yourself in the mirror again, Grazer?" Mike countered.

"Very funny, Michael, so funny I forgot to laugh." the Latino rolled her eyes. 

"Guys!" Scarlett cut in before they could get much farther. "Can we not tonight. I'm hungry and tired and don't wanna listen to this right now." 

The dark haired girl sighed. "Anything for you, baby girl." Carlie kissed her cheek then rose and walked into the conjoining kitchen, making sure to bump Mike on the way.

No one was sure what had transpired between Mike and Carlie, but something must have because ever since they were little kids they hated each other-much to their parents disappointment. 

"So Maye...." The Grazer girl started. "He's back?"
