    After the news, the birthday was not really birthday at all. We were so terrified we couldn’t sing happy birthday correctly, Mikuo couldn’t open his presents, we couldn’t eat, and jumped every time we heard a noise. “Lets sit in a circle.” Kaito finally replied with a shaky voice when it got darker. So we did, I bet you’re probably wondering why we’re doing this. Well, when we were in kindergarten, we’d get scared easily, so we sat in a circle and forgot about all of the scary stuff. Surprisingly it worked; we talked, laughed and played games. Everyone was having a great time until we all heard a shattering sound. All of us were dead silent as there was more glass breaking sounds. “I bet that’s a burglar.” Replied Gakupo as he grabbed Mikuo’s baseball bat in the corner and went into the room where the noise came from. We were all so scared when Gakupo didn’t come out when 5 minutes passed. I clung on to Mikuo’s shirt as I stared into the hallway. I swear, I felt his heartbeat against my hands. I looked around seeing Rin and Len clutching each other, Meiko looking like she was going to faint, Kaito’s colorless face, and Luka’s trembling body hugging Gumi as they both cried silently.
