Holding Tight
I tie my hair up in a ponytail, and check my phone. Kay texted me, saying she's coming to pick me up now. I wince. My parents forced me to make friends with Kay. They thought she was lonely. So, knowing that I'm one of the most popular girls at school, they picked me. Great. I walk outside and see a black Audi on my driveway. I wave and plaster a smile on my face. I see Kay driving, and she points to the passengers seat. I open the door and hop in.
"Hey." She says.
"Hi." I reply.
"What's up?"
"Nothing." This goes on. Me dodging conversation, her shying away from any questions. We finally pull up to her house, and she gives me a wicked grin.
"I have an amazing game for you." She say. I laugh nervously.
"Okay." I reply. My parents are picking my up at 4. It's noon now. I just want to get this over with. She grabs my hand, and I nearly jumped. Hers was like ice. She pulls me to the old shed, and shows me this little red button.
"So, what happens when I push this button?" I asked.
"Nothing."
I pushed the button, grinning.
"It's when you let go things get nasty." She says, grinning like a madman.
"What?" I shriek.
"Don't let go," she whispers, and walks out. My breathing becomes rapid, and my thoughts a million miles an hour. I hear a flick, and a light whir, like in a camera. Suddenly, a crackle came aloud.
"Round One. Let go, and you lose."
"Help me!!" I screamed. No response. I heard light little taps, and looked down, holding the button down for dear life. There were spiders, everywhere. I yelped as one slowly up my leg, as hundreds followed suit. I screamed and tears started to slowly fall down my cheeks. This continued until the spiders were up to my neck. The only intercom made a little ding as if crackled to life again.
"You have survived round one. Round Two is now starting." Instantly, the spider retracted. Instead of little taps, I heard a slither.
"Oh, god." I whispered. I couldn't do it. I let go. I heard a couple groans, and fell through the trapdoor, and fell into water. I hit my head on the bottom, and passed out.
