Im Jason, im 13 and i go to middle school at Lucky Duck in Dirtfield, Texas.
I havent always gont to public school, in fact most of my life i've spend at home with my mom as my teacher for homeschooling. But when my parents divorced over the summer that all changed and now im at Lucky Duck MS, what a dumb name for a school. The fighting "Luck-Ducks!"...not as cool as our rivals the "Tomahawk Tigers" Given the option, i would have choose there.
Anyways, being a Duck isnt so bad, ive made 2 really good friends here.
Christian, who was also 13, about my hieght (5,1) and we both wieghed about 100. Skinny, dark short spiked hair.
Josh was older and Christians brother. He was 14, 5'5, 120ibs, short dark hair.
They seemed to get along ok, i had classes with both of them. I only knew Josh because of Christian, we all usually sat together at lunch.
It was kind of strange because we wern't the "outcasts" but were no where near being the "cool kids" So we generally sat of to the side and kept to ourselves.
Finally it was friday!!! I had planned to have my first sleepover at a friends house in over a year! I was finnally going to see Christian's house, he always talked about how big it was, and his room was on the second story and his parents were on the complete opposite of the house and just said sleepovers at his place were epic.
/knock, knock/
I knocked on the door, my dad was waving to me from the car, I non'chalantly waved back as the door opened, and there was Josh.
"Hey man, whats up! That your dad?" he asked waving to my dad.
"Hey, yeah thats him." i responded grabbing my bag i had set down.
"Cool, come on in- Christian will be down later, he's tied up right now- lets put your stuff in the den, follow me." Josh said grabbing my sleeping bag.
"Tied up huh? With what? What could he possibly be doing thats more important than me being here?" i joked, I mean the whole reason I came was to hang out with him and now he's busy? It didnt make sence to me.
"Haha, den is over here. Dont worry, ill drag him down here soon enough," he smirked opening the door to thier guest bedroom, "Im just glad its the weekend! Tonights gunna be great!!!"
"Cool, what are we gunna do?" I asked.
"Eat, video games, hide'n'seek, other stuff..." he listed.
"Like what kind of 'other stuff'?" I asked suriously.
"Just....stuff haha. Hey, let me go check on Christian and see if he is ready to join us, stay here ill be back." he said as he darted up the stairs outside of the den.
I looked around, nice room. Complete with aquarium, lava lamp, big screen tv, xbox, 4 rolls of duct tape and......wait, wow thats alot of tape! What could you possibly use all that for?
I then began to notice various things in a tipped over paper bag on the ground. I noticed a few long coils of rope, a long sleeve shirt, bandanas, shaving cream, markers....perhaps they were for artistic purpose's?
What a strange combo, its almost like they were going to try and kidnap me or something. What a silly thought right? I mean i havent even known these guys two months! Haha.
Just then Josh came back in
"Hey, wanna go 'get' Christian?" he asked grinning from ear to ear.
"Sure, haha- lets use the duct tape! You have plenty haha" i joked.
"No need, he has enough on already! Come on!" he said as he turned torwards the stairs.
I followed right behind. Could Christian really be duct taped? Actually 'tied up'? People do that?
I guess ill find out in the next room....and you will find out in Chapter 2!!!
