Fear/Scary Story
By David Tinoco
Wrong Day
“Is your girlfriend still coming?”
“Andrew for the 1 millionth time she is coming, I know you don't like her but it’s only one day.”
“Okay dang,”
“Did you get the boat?” Skylar's voice echoed as he left the room.
“Yes I got it.”
The door shut after I walked out to the kitchen. I grabbed his favorite box in the world. Pulled out my favorite pot and filled it with water. I turned on the stove; placing the pot of water on it. I pulled out the milk and butter from the refrigerator. I went to the stove and started to boil the macaroni. After I finished I poured out the water put in milk, butter, and the cheese. I loved macaroni and cheese. It was my favorite food in the world.
“BUZZZZ BUZZZZ BUZZZZ.”
“Are you still coming?” Skylar said
“Yeah, We are still going on the boat right?”
“Yeah, So i’ll pick you up after class?”
“Okay i'll be ready by then.”
“Alright bye.”
“Bye.”
I reached for the keys of his car laying on the table of the living room.
“I'm going to pick up Tory.” I yelled.
“Edwards or Smith?” Andrew said back.
“Edwards.”
“Okay.” The door closed at the end of the word.
“Skeert.” The car drifted out of the driveway and raced to the stop sign.
Skylar: What time are you out of class
Tory: I'll be out in 15 min
Skylar: Perfect I’ll be there
Tory: Okay
Skylar: I'll text you back when I'm there
Tory: Okay
I turned on the radio. “There has been a robbery in the downtown bank and the robbery has escaped the police, the suspect appears to be wearing jeans and a white T-shirt. He is a caucasian male with blonde hair and brown eyes!”I pulled up on the drive through, rolled down my window, and ordered.
“Can I have 2 medium sized soda’s and 3 cheeseburgers?”
“Yes, will that be all.”
“Yes.”
“Okay your total will be 17.38 at the first window”
“Vroooommmmm”
“Hello that will be 17.38”
“Here you go”
“Thank you”
“Your change is 2 dollars and 62 cents.”
“Blinngggggg”
Tory: I’m out. I'll wait for you at the entrance
“Vroooommmmm.”
The car went again to the next window. He saw kids playing in the structure. That took him back to when him and Andrew were in their house in Hawaii. He imagined himself playing and scraping his knee. Blood dripping down as he walked into the house with the help of Andrew.
“Oh honey what happened?”
“I'm bleedingggg,” I said crying
“It's okay we’ll get you cleaned up.”
“Here you go sir.” The woman working at the window said.
“Oh.” I blinked a couple of times “Thanks.”
I took the food in the hot bag and opened up the cup holders I placed the drinks down.
“Have a good day,” The woman said.
I drove off
Skylar: I’ll be there in 5 min
I put the phone down and kept driving. Getting every green light. The streets were pretty empty but that was because everyone was at school or at work.
Tory: Okay i'm waiting
Skylar: I'm here
Tory walked over to the car with her bag in her left hand. She got to the car and opened the door.
“Hey, How was class”
“It was good”
The rest of the ride we just laughed the whole time. When we got to the house Andrew was already left to the river. He left a note on the fridge.
“Want some macaroni before we leave” I asked her
“No i'm fine, Thanks”
“Are you ready to go” I asked
“Yeah i'm ready”
“Okay”
We were on our way expecting to see most people there and they were there just waiting for us. The river looked refreshing and accepting like if it was just there for us. We park near the boat dock. We walked over there happily waiting for an adventure of some sort. I caught up with some people that I haven't talked to in a long time.
“Okay guys let's get out of here”
I started up the boat and got everyone on. In total we were about 10 or 15 people. We were riding in the Miami River. It was 2:30. The time flew quickly.
“Andrew take the wheel.” I shouted
“Okay”
“Stop in a little so we can find a place to swim.”
“Okay I will.”
I grabbed a soda a chugged it down. Cola is my favorite. I took a second to myself just to take in where I have come from and where I am now. Growing up in a small home with Andrew as my best friend. My mom could barely put food on the table. My parents were a role model for me and I admire them a lot. On the other hand Andrew's dad died when he was young and his mom struggled to keep him happy. Andrew didn't find out the truth about his dad till he was 10. His mom had always told him that his dad was in the military. “When will my dad come back?” The only question Andrew every asked his mom.
“Is this good skylar?” Andrew shouted
“Yeah, I guess we can swim here for a little.”
I threw my soda away and walked to the back of the boat. I jumped off and with a splash everyone followed. Andrew passed in the beach balls and the floaters and we were all having a good time. I stroked my hands threw my blonde hair.
“What is that?” Andrew said. It had some sort of spikes on its tail. Its nasty scales gave me the goosebumps. I could see his eyes peeking out of the water. Staring me down. Then 2 more sets of eyes stated staring and the group. In no time everyone was swimming away. They were too fast for us. Everyone was swimming in a hurry away from the crocodile.
“Help!” Tory shouted
“TORYYY!”
She was being dragged down getting pushed underwater. She was drowning. The crocodile was not going to let her go.
“Luke and Lucy call 9-1-1 now!” I shouted with a lion's roar.
“9-1-1 what is your emergency?”
“We are getting attacked by crocodiles!”
“Okay remain calm, Where are you located?”
“We are in the miami river.”
“Help is on the way”
“We need help now!”
“Sir I understand, I will try to get someone out there as soon as possible, There is a robber that is loose so the police are trying to find him”
“plooop” Lucy’s phone fell in the river.
“Everyone get to shore!”
Andrew shouted at the top of his lungs. He was still on the boat. He jumped off and swam to shore. We all got together and they were 4 all together. We were on a small island. We didn't know what to do. The crocodiles were getting closer by the second.
“My dad used to hunt crocodiles in Alabama. He said that they are really quick like snakes.” Luke said
“Did he show you how to kill them?”I asked
“Yes but I need a gun.” Luke responded
“Well we don't have one of those” I said in disappointment
“Actually yes we do” Andrew said “There is one located in the emergency pack of the boat”
“How do we get there guiness?” Lucy said
“Follow me” Andrew said
We ran around the island and on the way andrew was picking up sticks. The crocodiles were following.
“Okay we are going to distract the crocodiles while skyler goes and gets the emergency pack.”
We all nodded because we had nothing better to do or had a better idea.
“Let's go.”
Everyone did what they were told to do. Andrew and his group distracted the crocodile. I ran as close as i could to the boat and swam to the back were the stairs were to get up. I walked up a couple steps and right next the the steering wheel was the emergency pack. It was bright red and had a first aid kit. I jumped off the boat and swam to shore trying my best to keep my mind off the crocodiles swimming in the river with me. Andrew saw me and ran back with everyone else.
“Take the gun out!”
I grabbed the gun and handed it to Luke because if anyone could do this it was him. He aimed down the sight of the gun with a clenched fist firmly grasping the gun. He looked scared like if his life was on the line. But that was actually true. He pulled the trigger and shot the crocodile but the crocodile did not die after the first hit. The crocodile kept coming at us and with an even more dangerous attitude. frightened luke dropped the gun. I knew that if someone did not shot the crocodile we would all die. I ran to luke picked up the gun and shot the crocodile twice. There was no motion at all. He was dead.
We heard sirens in a distance and fired another shot so they could know that we were here. When we saw the red and blue lights shine on us we all smiled. But that smile went away as soon as we saw the other 2 crocodiles walking towards us.
“Help, over here!” We all screamed
“Boom Boom Boom!” 3 gunshots went off and there was no movement in the crocodiles. The Police came out of there boat and walked towards us.
“Put your hands in the air!” They yelled “Drop the gun!”
“Get on your knees!” They said
They had their gun out with a finger on the trigger like if we were ready to pull the gun on them. We were all scared. We thought they were going to shot us. We never did anything wrong other than protect our own lives. We were on our knees tired and wet. We didn't know what we did. We couldn't do much. I was scared. I didn't want to get arrested. I didn't want to go to jail. There was millions of things running threw my mind. I couldn't think straight.
“Donald report this is now!” One of the police shouted
“Comander Comander this is river raft 473 we have found the robber I repeat we have found the robber!”
The officer told me to get up. He took out his handcuffs and placed them on me. THis was terrible. A fun day just became terrible. It was getting dark.
“Are you sure that's him?” Officer donald said.
“Well he fits the description perfectly.”
“Your right caucasian male with blonde hair and brown eyes.”
“You have the wrong person, I've been here all day!” I said
“Tell it to the judge!”
I waited there handcuffed. Looking at the dead crocodiles. When the other boat arrived I was sent without my friends to the county jail. This had been the worst day of my life
“Is your girlfriend still coming?”
“Andrew for the 1 millionth time she is coming, I know you don't like her but it’s only one day.”
“Okay dang,”
“Did you get the boat?” Skylar's voice echoed as he left the room.
