Chapter 10

KATH

I bid farewell to my mom before leaving the house. As soon as I opened the gate, Daniel's face greeted me with some flowers, "Good morning, beautiful. Flowers for you, my princess."


"Aww, it's so cute," I said in turn and immediately picked up the flowers.
These flowers are so beautiful!


"I told you that even if we do, I will still court you.
"


"That's so sweet of you," I said and pinched his cheeks, "We'll have our breakfast at McDonald's, am I right?
"


"Yeah.
Come on, let's go."


He opened the door for me in the passenger's seat and I got on.
He turned around to get in his seat and immediately started the engine and started driving.


As soon as we arrived, we went downstairs and quickly ordered because there weren't that many people inside the fast-food chain.


Once we got our food we immediately looked for a place and we ate well, also talking about things.


"Oh, right.
What did your siblings say about us?" he suddenly asked me, "All I know is that they don't like me."


"Don't mind them and just ignore them.
If they don't like you, I'm sorry but they can't do anything else. I love you so much," I just answered and smiled at him.

"I love you too. Anyway, I have a random question. Are you afraid of horror houses?"


I looked at him, "I'm not scared because they're not real.
Why did you ask?"

"About that, Agusan National High School is having their high school days and anyone can go there and seem to be having horror houses. It just opened yesterday and the name of that famous horror house is SCREAM."


My eyes widened and I froze, "SCREAM?
It's just like a movie but I heard about it yesterday. They said that it's scary because it seems so real, especially the sound effects and the quality!" I exclaimed, "I thought they meant the movie, it was a horror house?"


"Yup, baby!
My friends said that they were together with his girlfriend. He said he was so scared that he immediately grabbed the hand of his girlfriend who was next to him but he was very surprised that his girlfriend was just behind him and they are far, far away," Daniel said and I laughed because I got his point.

"You mean it's the ghost he touched?"


"He can't be sure because it's so dark inside, but I feel like it's a ghost.
"


"Wow!
I want to go there," I excitedly said to him.


"All right.
Here I bought two tickets. Of course, I can't use one so are you willing to come with me?"


My eyes widened in shock, "OMG!
Seriously? You have bought it already?" I looked at the tickets held and it was true! "How much is this ticket?"


"It's 150 pesos.
I don't know why it's so expensive. Usually, in horror houses, it only costs five pesos."


"Of course, it's a famous horror house and everyone is looking forward to it!
What time does it start?"


He smiled at me, "Actually, we can go in now if you wanted to.
"


"All right, all right!
So? Come on, let's go!"

"Wait! Let's eat first," he said and I realized that we weren't done eating yet so I ate it right away so we could leave.


Soon after, we left immediately and went to Agusan National High School and I realized that it was the school of all my siblings, except for Camille and Raffy.

The school is really big but the people are just too crowded. There are lots of polite people here and we also saw the place and exactly something was coming out of there and you can see that it was really scary because the people who entered the horror house were very scared.

"Are you ready, Kath? Just hold my hand, okay?" I smiled at him and immediately held his hands.

"You're next!"

"Come on and let's go inside."

We immediately entered the horror house. It was very dark and we were surprised when the door suddenly closed. Well, we really can’t get out of here.


"Psh, it's not scary," I said when I suddenly felt like someone had passed behind me.
When I turned around, I saw nothing.

"Oh, what's that?"


"N-nothing.
Do you feel something behind us?" I suddenly asked him.


He frowned, "I don't feel anything.
Let's go here," he pulled me once, and as we stepped there was a door there that we had to enter and just as we opened that door someone was hanging there.


"AAAAAAAHHH!
" we both cried out in fear. It's really scary. After all, it looks even if it's just props because it looks real!


"Let's get out of here, it's really scary!
" we immediately went back to the front door where we entered but it was locked from the outside so we could not go out.


"Ugh!
They closed it!"


How is that?
If I had only known that it was so scary, I would not have entered here again. Some of our colleagues disappeared upon entering, the two of us separated.


"Kath, don't tap me first.
It's so dark, I can't see," I heard Daniel speaking who was just behind me so I turned to him.

"Uh, babe? I'm just here in front of you," I said to him and he immediately took my hand.

"Shit! I thought you were the one behind me, I was holding it before and patting me. Let's go and get out of here!" I don't know how he did that but we also saw the exit right away and it was really scary! Another white lady showed up at the don side and like crazy chased the two of us until we were out of that room! I'm not going back there!


KATH

We were panting our breath as we got out of that scary horror house! Daniel even turned to me and grinned, "What did you say earlier? It's not that scary?" he asked jokingly and I looked at him. My heart is beating so hard! He was a little overwhelmed by fear, nervousness, and panic!

"Did I say that?"

"Yeah, you did! HAHAHAHA."

"Oh well, I'm taking it back! It's really scary and it seems so real! That white lady is also annoying!"

"That's why. Come on, let's wander to another room," he said so I just followed him and I peeked through a classroom. I noticed some familiar people and I would have approached but Daniel pulled me into a room.

DANIEL

I pulled Kath into a horror house that is named, Anabelle. Unlike Scream, it's super lame and nothing scary because such concepts seem cliché. At FSUU, the concepts are the same but there is a twist, so when there are events like this, many people attend that horror house.

"I don't know why I'm afraid of horror houses now. I know that ghosts aren't real," said my girlfriend as she walked through the dark part of this horror house.

"Yeah, I was traumatized to scream earlier," I said with a laugh, "I just hope it's not scary anymore."

We are quiet and continue walking. It's pretty okay inside because we have a guide, unlike when there was no one to guide there.


"It was like someone was holding my neck," Kath said.

"For me too, poking my back. Let us just go," I said and calmed myself down.

As we walked I noticed that Kath and I were the only ones being haunted by the ghosts here. Does it seem like we are the main target of the event?


We were just about to leave when Kath suddenly shouted, "OUCH!
Someone pinched my butt!"

I couldn't help myself and pulled the last ghost there to pinch Kath. He was the one he was looking forward to so I pulled him over and was about to strangle him when Kath looked at him.

I was about to punch this teenage guy, when Kath suddenly stopped me from punching him, "Wait a minute! I know you. Drake?" Kath asked in astonishment and I looked at her.

"Do you know this rude and pervert boy?"

"Well, kind of. He is one of Nicole's classmates! Wait a minute. Come here you, young man. Why did you do that? You know what you did was out of the line." Kath asked him in surprise and Drake didn't like what he was doing to Kath.

"N-Nicole just ordered me to do so. S-she said when I do that, s-she'll let me be my date a-at the acquaintance party," he stammered and bowed slightly, "I-I'm sorry, Kath."

"Nicole ordered you to do this? Are my siblings here?" Drake nodded and there he led us into the room where Kath seemed to stop and peeked and we saw his five siblings, even Rafael is here!

"Oh, crap! What a nice scene, guys!" Kath shouted angrily towards her siblings and they immediately turned around, shocked, "What is this, huh?! Can you please explain this? Are you guys following us?!"

"Obviously, yes," Camille replied coldly to her sister, Kath.

"UGH! How could you do this, guys? I mean, we didn't plan this horror house thing?"

"It's simple, Kath. We followed you to Mcdonald's so we found out that you will go straight here at school," Nicole replied, "That's where we entered the second horror house you entered because I begged Drake to do something."

"Don't you trust me?" Kath gently asked her siblings.


"Of course, Kath!
We have a lot of trust in you," Camille looked at me, "but we don't trust that man," Alas, I'm sick of sticking and butting my life to her siblings, but I love Kath so, I can do this.

"How can you do this to me?! You're too much! This has to stop, now!" she shouted before she pulled me away from that place.

KATH

I'm annoyed with what my siblings did today! They are getting into my nerves! They even dragged Rafael and Drake into this.

They could have destroyed my whole being and my whole life! What should I do to get them right?


"Babe, calm down," Daniel hugged me from my back.
I invited him to come home to our house especially and that mom isn't here right now. I didn’t know where my siblings were as long as I just locked my bedroom door.

"I can't calm down, babe! I mean, how can they do this to me? It's annoying because it's always like this. I don't know what to do with them anymore."


"Just let them do what they want.
I don't care if they don't like me as long as I know in myself that I love you so much."

I looked at him and smiled, I am so lucky to have him as my boyfriend, "Let's just do a movie marathon. What do you want to watch?"

"Anything. You decide," he said and I leaned my head on his shoulder.

It was six o'clock when I finished watching the movie when I looked at Daniel next to me when he fell asleep. I just looked at his face and I was lucky because I had a handsome and smart boyfriend.

I don't want to be compared but of all my lovers, he is the most handsome and smart, as well as the quality I am looking for is already in him. I stroked his hair and I remembered what he said earlier about how he loves me.

“I love you so much,” I said even though I knew he couldn’t hear.

"I know that you love me, Kath," I was surprised when he suddenly spoke and his eyes opened as well. He looks handsome!

"You're already awake."

"Yeah, just now. You're staring at me too much. What time is it, babe?"

"It's going to be six o'clock in the evening. Aren't you going home yet?"

"I think I have to go," he replied and kissed me on the cheek, "It's already late and my parents are looking for me, that's for sure. I love you, babe."

"I love you, too," I answered and we both got up.
