"Come in!" He called to whoever was behind the door. The door squeaked open to reveal Corey in basketball shorts and a plain tee shirt. I mouthed a 'help me' and Colby slapped my thigh softly at my cry for help. "Whatcha need, brother?" Colby asked.
"I was gonna see if you wanted to go to the gym with me, brother." Corey responded while leaning against the doorframe. Colby looked up at me and I nodded for him to go, that I would be fine. I didn't mind being alone considering I knew everyone in the house. Kat and I were probably here more than some of the roommates at times. Colby told Corey that he would meet him downstairs to go. He rolled over off of me and into the floor and I groaned as he weight shifted over my whole body.
"You could have made that so much easier," I say after he hit the floor with a thud. He laughed and shrugged his shoulders. I watched as he changed into a pair of gold Nike shorts and a plain black tee shirt. He come over to the bed and kissed my forehead, making me blush lightly and smile before he pecked my lips.
"I'll be back in about in hour or two." Colby tells me and I nod in response. I grab his laptop and search up Netflix, sitting it on my thighs and leaning back against the pillows as Supernatural begins to play. The faint shouts of Corey and Aaron filming a video can be heard but it's impossible to tell what was going on. A faint glow was cast through the window as the sun began to set, and the door squeaking open caused my tired eyes to move away from the computer screen.
"Wanna help me with a prank?" Sam's familiar voice asks. I motion for him to explain further as I move the laptop next to me. His camera is dangling from his hands and a smile is on his face. "I'm thinking about doing a Bloody Mary prank on Colby and have you just scare the shit out of him." He explained.
"Don't have to fuckin ask me twice. What's the plan?" I say with a bright smile. My arms are supporting my weight underneath me as I sit up slightly in the bed. Sam nods and sits down on Colby's couch, bringing his camera up to film him explaining.
"So basically I'm going to get Devyn to do your makeup all scary and have Colby think we're filming one of my scary videos. I'm going to tell him we're playing Bloody Mary and you're going to wait outside the bathroom door while we do it. Just make some weird noises here and there and then when Colby opens the door to leave just jump out and scare him." Sam explains to me. For someone who explores abandoned and haunted places for a living, Colby absolutely hates jump scares. Hopefully he's not a hitter, but it would absolutely hilarious nonetheless. We agreed that I would text Colby and tell him Adrianna was having girl issues so she picked me up and that I would be back later. I wouldn't have to move my car because Colby stayed with me last night and I just came over with him this morning. Sam went to talk to Devyn and before long I was getting my face caked with black and white paint and fake blood.
Colby responded telling me that he would see me when I came back right as I heard him walking up the stairs and laughing about something with Corey. I could hear Sam faintly talking to him about the video. When Devyn finished my makeup with a little 'ta-da' I laughed at the way I looked in the mirror. Colby was going to absolutely shit himself, and Sam probably would too. I waited in the hallway until I heard the boys go into the bathroom and slipped into Colby's room, making sure to make a tiny bit of noise to unease Colby. I heard a quiet 'Bro what was that' and laughed silently to myself as I slipped one of Colby's black hoodies over my bright pink shirt and leggings.
"Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary." I hear them chant. They start talking about the game a little more and I wait before slightly tapping my finger on the handle of the door.
"Woah, what was that? Did the door just move?" Colby asked to Sam who acts as if he's freaked out by it as well. It's so hard to keep in my laugh that I'm practically not breathing. Colby starts freaking out and laughing with Sam and I'm almost crying at how much I'm silently laughing outside of the door. "Can we turn this off for a second?" He asks, then the water shuts off.
"What was that?" Sam asks quietly. I have my head close to the door so I can hear what they're saying so I must've touched the door again on accident.
"Bro, I swear I just heard the door move." Colby whispers. I step on the part of the floor that I know will creak and whatever they're talking about goes silent. They whisper to each other so quietly that it's barely audible. I begin to get impatient as they try the ritual one last time, but more lengthy. When they finish chanting I shake the door handle again and bite my lip harshly to not laugh at Colby's yelling. Sam starts to talk about leaving so I move slightly back from the door and wait for it to open. The handle moves slightly right before the door opens. I scream at the top of my lungs and watch as Colby's eyes widen, his feet shuffling as he falls backwards toward Sam. "Oh, Jesus! Oh god! I just crapped my pants! God damn it, Cami!" He screamed loudly.
I was laughing so hard I had to sit down. Colby was still so shaken that he couldn't even get up off the floor. His face was flushed red and his eyes were wide and watery. I couldn't control my laughter to the point that my stomach started to ache. When he can finally stand up he holds his hands out in front of him to show them shaking intensely. My mouth drops slightly as I continue laughing and I hug him, feeling his heart pounding against his chest as he hugs me back with a laugh. "I've got to take a picture of you, holy shit." He breathes and pulls his phone out of his back pocket. I can see in the reflection of the mirror that it's a Snapchat video so I make funny faces and dance around as he records, smiling as he laughs.
"I got you good, babe!" I say. My laughter had calmed down and I was now just smiling brightly. Sam had already stopped recording and we were all standing in his room after doing the outro just talking about the prank.
"Oh, don't think I won't get you good later tonight." He says cockily with a wink. I shake my head and giggle as Sam's eyes widened uncomfortably.
"So I'm going to stay at Kat's tonight," Sam says jokingly and we all laugh.
Colby later helps me take all of the makeup off as we continue to laugh and talk about the prank. The clock next to his bed reads three thirty and I yawn loudly, kissing Colby softly before turning on my side. I soon feel his arm snake over my waist as his body curves into mine. His body heat radiates onto my cold skin and soon enough I feel myself drifting off.
I literally suck at ending chapters wow but this chapter and the next one we're in the outline as just cute random stuff so I'm just winging it. But anyway yeah if this chapter sucks blame Bri & Nic for making me update while sleep deprived.
