Ash, Cass, and Axl are sitting in class
Ms. Childs: I know it's not in two month but whose excited for prom?
Some kids raise their hands. Some don't. Ash and Cass do but Axl doesn't
Ms. Childs: It's one of my favorite events. I get to watch you all dance, have a good time and of course the outfits
The bell rings. Everyone gets up, grabs their things, and starts walking out while saying bye to Ms. Child's. Axl and Cass were by Ash's desk again
Ash: Girl talk Axl
He laughs then walks to the door
Axl: Bye Ms. Childs
Ms. Childs: See you tomorrow Axl
He leaves
Cass *whispering* What were we going to ask her again?
Ash *whispering* You know
Cass *whispering* Oh yeah!
Ash: Sh!
Ms. Childs: What's going on girls?
They both look at her
Ash: We wanted to ask you about prom
Ms. Childs: Alright. What's on your mind?
Ash: We were wondering if you can help us pick out our dresses?
She smiles big and hugs both of them
Ms. Childs: I would love to
Ash: This really means a lot to us
Ms. Childs: I'm happy to help and hey maybe you both can pick out a dress for me?
Cass: Of course we can!
They all laugh
Ms. Childs: Well, you don't want to keep Axl waiting
Ash: Thank you again Ms. Child's
Cass: Yeah thank you
Ms. Childs: You're both welcome
Ash and Cass start heading to the door
Ash and Cass: See ya Ms. Child's!
Ms. Child's: Bye girls
Two Days Later...
Ash, Cass, and Ms. Child's come out a shop holding their dresses they picked out for each other. As they're getting ready to leave, Ash sees a gift shop
Later That Day...
Ash knocks on Ethan's for. She was holding a present behind her back. Ethan answers the door
Ethan: Ash what a surprise
Ash: I wanted to thank you for the other night so I got you this
She shows him it
Ethan: Aw Ash you shouldn't have
He takes it from her
Ethan: Come on in. I was just making dinner
She smiles and enters. He closes the door behind her. They go into the dining room
Ethan: Have a seat at the table
She sits down. He sits across from her, putting the present down on the table in front of him
Ethan: Let's see what we have here
He opens her present. It's a cup with writing on it
Ethan: A cup that says...
He looks at the writing
Ethan: "Write like a motherfucker"
He starts laughing
Ash: Just a little boost for when you write your books
He smiles big at her
Ethan: This is a very lovely gift Ash, thank you
Ash: Your welcome
The timer goes off
Ethan: Ah! Dinner is ready; will you be staying?
Ash: What are you having?
Ethan: Spaghetti
Ash: Spaghetti sounds delicious
Ten minutes later...
They finish eating. Ethan takes both their plates
Ash: Thank you. That was delicious
Ethan: No thank you for staying. I haven't had a guest at the table in a long time
Ash: I'm glad I did
He smiles at her as he goes into the kitchen, puts the plates in the sink, and turns the water on
Ash: Where's your bathroom?
Ethan: Down the hall to the right
She gets up and goes to the bathroom while Ethan puts the pots and pans in the sink as well. Couple of minutes later, she dries her hands then leaves the bathroom. She gets ready to walk back to the dining room when suddenly, she hears something. She stops and looks at the door where the noise came from. It was the door Ethan told her was off limits. She hears the noise again. Ethan was washing the dishes while humming so she goes over to the door, slowly opens it, heads in and quiet closes the door behind her. She didn't expect her surroundings to be dark and creepy looking. She hears the noise clearer so she heads down the stairs. She sees the same black trunk Axl helped Ethan with. There was something inside making the trunk itself move
Ash: What the hell? Books don't do that
She goes up to it. It moves again, making her jump
Ash: Shit
She sees that it's locked so she unlocks and opens it
