His locker door suddenly flew shut, missing his fingers as it slammed back to its hinges, causing him to react by dropping his books to the floor where he was met by a skull.
He gasped a little, taking a step back.
"Yo, Fowler! " a boy called from across the halls of Barnstable High, "do you mind? "
Of course it was a fake skull.
The boy named Fowler grabbed the skull and lifted it to his face. The two dark holes for its eye orbits seemed to be staring back at him as he felt himself somehow drawn to its gaze.
"Boo!"
He gasped again, this time in embarrassment when the boy who had tossed the skull towards his locker suddenly appeared next to him.
"Very funny, Cole," he sighed and handed the skull back to him.
Fowler, Jake Fowler or Jake as most people at the school identified him(except for Cole-the deranged sicko who also happened to be the class clown who never called him by his first name) shook his head when someone called out his name.
"Did you drop this?"
Jake turned and instantly froze after seeing who it was.
"I...I..."
His whole face was turning red as Nicole stood there before him, waiting for his answer.
"I don't think there's another J F in our class...so... "
Nicole went on, adding a smile this time.
"Oh... right, " Jake quickly took the books from Nicole.
"You're welcome..." she added, all the while making Jake feel confused.
Jake was about to open his mouth but words failed him like the always did. He ended up nodding and smiling nervously.
A kid then yelled after he was supposedly hit in the face by a skull.
"Oookey...I guess I'll see you in class..." Nicole shrugged, her face lighting up with a smile as she turned to leave.
Jake still said nothing.
Fuck!
He cursed, marking yet another day of being unable to overcome his fear of talking to girls and in particular-Nicole Parsons.
Sure, I can work out the Quantum theory in twelve seconds but I can't make up even a word! Way to go, Jake!
The school bell went off, drowning his fucked up thoughts.
Towards the end of school, Jake met up with Matt and Gabriel-his high school friends whom he met back in Sophomore year, 2019.
"Mr. Dinkley's just full of shit!" began Matt, a fairly tall African-American and in this case, the same height as Jake, only more built than him.
"Language!" came Gabriel who was much shorter, probably the shortest kid in class.
Matt threw him a fuck off look before getting back to his story.
" He called me after class and started pointing out how my grades in Biology were so bad..."
"So bad...?" Jake and Gabriel asked.
Matt sighed.
"Oh, alright, he said my grades were so terrible that they could kill you from just lookin' at them!"
Jake and Gabriel broke in short bursts of laughter.
"Nice," Matt added, eyeing them both, "you guys are real friends!"
"We're sorry, man," Jake responded, hiding away the rest of his mockery.
"Even my Bar Mitzvah wasn't that bad," Gabriel added, still chuckling.
Oh, another thing about Gabriel. He is Jewish.
"Hey, J F, " came a girl's voice as the three turned to see Nicole brush past them with a group of girls, most of which giggled as they walked on.
"Have you talked to her?" Gabriel asked, kicking a small piece of rock across the sidewalk.
"Well, does her picking up my books for me count..."
"Dude!" Matt interrupted, "you still haven't talked to her!"
"Hey," Jake shot back defensively, "who have you been talking to lately, Casanova?"
"Oh, I don't talk..."
Both Jake and Gabriel muttered under their breath in annoyance.
"You guys still don't believe me. "
Apparently, the three had made a pact to get girlfriends(as silly as it may sound...oh, who are we kidding!...As silly as it is) by the second year of highschool and there was this one time Matt "manned up" and approached a senior girl. He ended up with a drenched shirt and it did not take Jake and Gabriel long enough to figure out what had happened or rather what didn't happen.
"Let's face it, we're never gonna go through with this," Gabriel added, sighing.
"We still have seven days before Halloween..." Jake said with a shrug and a slight agitation at the word 'Halloween'.
If there was one thing Jake hated more than his brother, it was Halloween. He just simply never understood how people could put on ridiculous costumes to celebrate such a ridiculous holiday!

THE SMALL town of Cape Cod in Chatham, Massachusetts, was in preparation for Saturday-the one Saturday before Halloween which would mark exactly seven days to Halloween and Jake and his pals passed by the place where the event would be held in less than two days from then."Man, I cannot wait for Pumpkin People in the Park!" Gabriel was saying as they watched pumpkins get unloaded from trucks and into warehouses.The popular multiday event would have contestants come up with creative pumpkin displays which they could pose before they met the judges on the main 'Oktoberfest' event."Still not into it, huh?" Matt spoke after noticing Jake's head shake a little in disapproval."I donno about you, man," Gabriel added, referring to Jake, "but I know this year's Halloween will be super awesome!"Jake's mind drifted off for a moment as his Halloween-bedazzled friends went on chattering about the

"DUDE, WHERE were you?" started Matt after Jake entered the hall.There were other students seated all across the large hall which was designed to serve the purpose of a theater and Jake faltered a little when his eyes met Nicole's, who was sitting two rows behind where he was.She smiled slightly, causing Jake to react by quickly turning his head down and then back to Matt all the while feeling his face flush."Oh, I just had to pass through the library.""Well, you're just in time for the play," came Gabriel, who happened to be writing something.Jake sat next to Matt with Gabriel on the other side as Mrs. Fenway, the music and drama teacher walked in and ordered all students to be quiet."Now, today we're going to venture into the world of fantasy...""What is this, Hogwarts?" joked Cole from the middle row as a low clatter of laughter followed.

"BREAKFAST'S READY!" came Jake's mom from the kitchen.Jake appeared from his room and headed to the dining table where he met his dad who was filling a mug with coffee.He gave his dad a 'what the hell is going on' look."Don't look at me, I had nothing to do with this," his dad responded before taking a sip from his mug.Jake's mom had prepared some pancakes, okay...a lot of pancakes; croissants; eggs, which came in scrambled, beaten and even a few pouched ones; bacon and sausages.Jake grabbed a pancake just as his mother returned from the kitchen with more pancakes."Wow, you were up early..." began Jake."What? Can't a mother cook for her family?"Jake's mom grinned widely and took off her apron and had on a black skirt topped with a white blouse."Where's the party?" Jake's dad spoke this time."Well

HE WATCHED her smile at him. Oh, how she had such a pretty smile with her short dark blonde hair and those wide brown eyes. She was in a ‘Pocahontas’ costume, a black weather with a white tip sticking out at the back of her hair which kind of confused him. Why was she dressed like that? She approached him slowly and he could feel her warm breath causing his face to flush but he felt different this time. He felt confident. She touched his hand, making him to look down and could see the shadow cast on the ground where there was a picture of a lion’s head—Barnstable High School logo. He savoured the moment, raising his head to look into her eyes which sparkled under the moonlight. He noticed the small white reflection of the moon in her eyes begin to loose its color and darken. The moon began to turn red and the warm feeling in him waned and was replaced by fear and terror. The ground beneath him was shaking, shaking slowly then

"YOU DID what?" exclaimed Matt during lunch.Jake explained to them how he used the book to hypnotize his brother.They; Matt, Gabriel, Julia and Jake, were all seated at a table next to a window overlooking the Barnstable High's football yard."I'm serious, guys," Jake went on, "it was like his own mind had snapped leaving him with no choice but to...""Smack himself in the face!" Gabriel finished, "you could've done better than that.""Yeah," Julia chimed in, siding with Gabriel, "like making him drink out of the toilet."Gabriel chuckled, hitting Julia's open palm with his own."You know I'm seating next to you, right?" Matt asked sarcastically, raising his brows at his sister."Oh, I'm sorry," Julia added, raising her hand and exposing her palm to Matt."So, how about we try that hypno thing you so claim you d
