Ch.1
"Just do it!" Amy yells from below.
"I will!" I yell back, not knowing if she can hear my voice.
I slowly climb up the rough brick wall of the school, holding on to any edges that I can find. I have never been one to break the rules, but I guess that my friends have had a greater influence on me then I have had on them. Besides, it's dusk, and hours have past since the school closed.
"Olivia can you even hear us?" Sofia and Amy say in unison.
"Yes." I say, still not knowing if I am heard.
My hands reach the cold metal that lies above the building. I swing my leg over and hoist myself onto the roof. My eyes peer at the ground below me.
"I did it!" I shouted.
My friends below me seem to be cheering, and one by one they climb up to join me.
"I told you it would be fun!" Sofia says.
"Yea, you were right." I say, astonished by the view.
"I can't believe you actually did it," Amy says.
"Well, it was the last day of high school, nobody's going to be here for a long time."
"You're right. I don't think that I would be up here either if it wasn't the last day." Malia states.
We were soon interrupted by a clanking noise on the roof. It was Rehan, trying so hard to get onto the roof with us.
"Can you guys help me?" He says, his body dangling off the side of the roof. Everybody ignores him, chuckling underneath their breath. I laugh and roll my eyes, getting up to help him. I grab his hand and pull him onto the roof. He collapses on the roof with another loud clank.
"I...did it...too." Rehan says, trying to catch his breath.
Once the whole group is on the roof, we go back to watching the sun set into the darkness.
"IT'S GETTING DARK OUT HERE!" Sofia yells as her and Amy pull out glow sticks while starting to crack them. They throw the glow sticks all over the roof, lighting up the darkness with a colorful glow.
"I was not expecting this." Says Malia.
"Me neither." Replies Rehan.
"WELL I BET YOU WEREN'T EXPECTING THIS EITHER." Yells Amy.
Sofia pulls out a Boze speaker and plays "History Makers", the opening to Yuri on Ice.
"SOFIA NO." We all say together.
"OH YES." She shouts back.
Sofia starts dancing as if she was ice skating. She attempts a triple axil, but fails, miserably. We all laugh, including Sofia. Malia sees a chance to fix the music, and turns off the speaker all together.
"Let's do something else." She says.
"What about hide 'n' go seek?" I say.
"Olivia, you're seventeen, not six."
"Who says I'm not six?"
"Who says I'm not six, either," replied Sofia, "in fact, I think everyone here might be six."
That gives use a good laugh, and we all agree. Amy wanted to count first, so we let her go.
We all ran and hid into our hiding spaces. We weren't exactly hiding, more like sitting in what we think are the darkest spaces.
"Thirty!" Amy shouts. Her footsteps echo, helping locate where she is. Our footsteps are also heard as we find new spots. Shadows are seen moving across the platform, being illuminated from the glow sticks. Giggles and laughs are heard all around. Someone screams.
"Who was that?" I say hurrying out from my hiding spot. "Everyone out, now!"
Everyone scurries out and gathers in the middle of the roof.
"Say 'here' when I call your name. Sofia."
"Here"
"Rehan"
"Here"
"Malia"
"Here"
"Amy"
Silence. Heavy breaths are heard, and we all start panicking.
"Okay, seriously," says Amy, "stop joking Sofia. Come out"
A shadow comes lurking out from the edge. Malia backs away, Amy hides behind her, I stand still, and Rehan squeals. The shadow moves closer, and a pink light illuminates it. We scream.
"Ha! I got you guys so good!" She says.
Sighs are released.
"That wasn't funny," Malia says.
"Yea. It really wasn't." Rehan agrees, his voice cracking.
"Sorry." Sofia replies.
Nobody talks.
"So, anyone want food?" I ask.
"OH YEEAAA" says Rehan.
"Ok, lets go grab something to eat." I start to climb off of the roof.
"Wait, where are you going?" Asks Malia.
"To get something to eat."
They look at each other, like they were confused, then look back at me.
"Ok, lets go," says Sofia.
Everyone lowers onto the ground, and we head to the streets.
We step foot onto the black pavement and stride past the bright street lights. No cars are driving this late at night, so the streets are completely empty.
"The nearest McDonalds is 5 miles from here." Malia states.
"Well, its midnight, and there is nothing else we can do." I reply.
Everyone nods there heads as a sign that we should walk.
We walk along the middle of the abandoned road, passing bright stores and billboards as we go by. Nobody talks for a long time, and it stays that way. The only sounds we here are our own footprints hitting the rocks below our feet. My eyes are locked on the ground as I bump into a pole. The ringing sound fills the air and we hault to a stop.
"Did you just...bang into a pole?" Asks Rehan.
"No. I just 'magically' made my ears pop with this horrible ringing sound...yes I banged into a pole!"
"Who does that?" Sofia says, as she bangs into a pole.
"Ouch!" She exclaims.
I can't help it. I burst into laughter, and so does everyone else.
"Oh, we're here!" Rehan exclaims.
Sure enough, we are standing right in front of a glowing yellow "M". Our hungry selves run into the McDonalds and Malia starts to order.
"Can I get the 1 dollar for 10 nuggets deal?" She asks.
The cashier looks a bit puzzled, and before he realizes that she thinks it's Burger King, I say "She wants 20 nuggets please"
"I don't want 20 nuggets! I wanted 10 for $1!"
"Malia, this isn't Burger King, this is McDonalds."
Malia gets this look of realization and quietly sits down at our table. Everyone else puts in their orders and soon join Malia at the table.
"So, what should we do next?" Sofia asks.
"Stop thinking so far ahead," says Rehan,"I just wanna eat." He pulls out a PopTart and starts to open the aluminum packet.
"Rehan no," I say, "have this." I toss him a Big Mac.
"Thanks." He replies.
Soon enough, Sofia starts to viciously open her box of nuggets.
"Sofia chill!" Says Amy, moving her hands in a "calm down" motion.
"But I'm hungry!"
Just to annoy Amy, I too viciously open my Big Mac.
"Olivia!" She says while laughing. The whole table is now viciously ripping open their food.
Food flies everywhere. Fries and nuggets are scattered over the ground. Amy pulls out her bag of carrots that she got in her Happy Meal, picks up 24 nuggets, smothers them in mustard and stabs carrots into them.
"LOOK WE HAVE 24CARROT GOLDEN NUGGETS" Amy says, as she is slapping her knee.
We all stare at her. Mustard now covers the table and our clothes.
"Amy!" Rehan says.
"What, don't you like mustard?"
"Yes
