Ambrose and I sat quietly in my room studying for the makeup exam that was supposed to take place tomorrow. He was working on his art project and I was going over the questions that Ambrose said would be on the test.

This was becoming our routine ever since his suspension was done. Our videochat calls turned into actual study sessions in my room and he's been doing pretty good in all of his classes ever since.

I feel a tap on my arm and I look up at Ambrose.

What are you doing for Halloween?

"Aurora was inviting me to the Halloween carnival that's happening that week," I say, "What are you doing?"

He shrugs. I don't usually do anything on Halloween except black out.

He chuckles and I shake my head at him. "You should come with us," I say.

What's going to be there?

"Rides, food, scary mazes and I heard they're bringing back the corn maze," I say.

Corn maze?

"Yeah, they have scare actors in there and they scare people while they try to get out of the corn field."

Do you scare easily?

"I don't know. I don't think I've been scared before," I say, shrugging. Surely I used to be scared of the dark when I was five and then scared of death when I turned fifteen after my grandma passed away.

I don't watch horror movies and if I do, I don't get spooked because I know it's all fake. So I guess I haven't come across anything that is worth scaring me.

I think I could find ways to scare you. He has a devilish grin on his face.

"Have fun with that," I snorted, "by the way what are you doing for your birthday?"

He ponders for a second and shakes his head.

I don't really do anything for my birthday. I've always just stayed home and did whatever I wanted.

"You never had a birthday party or anything?"

No. My parents found out the hard way that I didn't like people. It was a couple days after my 4th birthday when I had a bad temper tantrum at a party they decided to throw me. Something happened prior to that and I just went off. I think they got the hint that I didn't like or want birthday parties after that so they usually just leave me alone and let me do what I want.

I really wonder what happened to Ambrose. There was this deep lore to him that was unknown and I would have to chip away at his wall to be able to get a crumb of that past of his. My only thought was when would I be able to actually learn about his past.
