CHAPTER 1
October 31, 2005 (HALLOWEEN). Being more mature than most kids at my age, I didn't dress up that halloween, then found that Sara (13), Carson (12), Megan (11), and Karen (13), had all dressed up. Megan and Karen were both police women (The cute kind, with the skirts and all that). Sara was a cheerleader, and Carson had dressed as Gordon Freeman, because Half-Life 2 had come out a year before and he loved that game. They all met at my house at around 5:30. There was a McDonalds nearby, so I bought us some cheeseburgers for dinner. At 6:00, the story began...
While we ate, I quickly snatched one of Megan's burgers. "Theif!" she cried out. "Don't worry, Megan. These burgers sit in the fridge for up to 3 years before being served, so you're lucky I'm doing this," I said, smiling. She frowned, then whispered something into her sister's ear. Karen nodded, smiling. 10 minutes later, all five of us were out on the streets. We went around two blocks, then approached the bamboo forest. "Come on, guys, the forest is a good place to hang out at," Karen said. "Sure," Carson areed. Sara and I were skeptical, but it didn't matter. We walked into the bamboo forest, and set up a place to hangout. We all threw our candy into a pile and began to eat. Suddenly, I was tackled and my hands were pulled behind my back, and cuffed in plastic handcuffs. I looked around and saw Megan right next to me, smiling. Karen handcuffed Carson and Sara too. "You are a theif, and you're friends are punished because of you," Megan said. "What the hell?" Sara asked. "Guilt by asscociation," Karen said. "Time to torture the criminal," Megan said triumphantly. I knew this wouldn't end well...
