Once again, he began pulling me along with him. I cursed the fact that we were here on a weekday. Since there wasn’t a lot of people at the park, we were the only ones in the haunted house as far as I could tell. If we had entered as a larger group, maybe I’d feel less scared or there would be someone else who would also be scared like me. Then we could be friends.

The reality was that I was alone with Hayden, and he didn’t seem scared at all. I doubt Hayden would be scared of anything. He did invite me out at night to a graveyard...
