Jax's P.O.V.
"Jax! Get down it's time to roast marshmallows!" Shouted my friend Elijah. "Coming!" I yelled back. I am Jax a 15 year old male idiot, and I am sitting here on the roof while my friends eat all of the s'mores. "Thump" I quickly jump to the ground, and ran to get my share of the s'mores. "Hey Jax." "Hi, bye" I quickly ran past my grandpa, to see that kyler had the last s'more and was about to stuff it into his mouth. I ran up and snatched it before he could take a bite. "Fuck" he swore under his breath. I then sat down beside him on one of the wooden logs beside the camp fire and ate it. "That was all of them boys" said my grandpa. My grandpa was the one who owned the cabin me and my friends would be staying at for the rest of the summer. He was gone most of the time but came back to check on us and fill up the fridge. "I'll bring more next time I come back." "Kay" said Elijah. "Well, guess i'll see you guys later." "Bye" we said in unison. Then my grandpa got in his truck and pulled away. "I'm going to bed", said Kyler after yawning. "Yeah, me too" said Elijah. "Really?",I asked,"it's only 9:00." "Yeah, well we're tired so good night" said Kyler. "Good night" I said reluctantly. Then once they were inside I walked around the cabin to the side where I could climb onto the roof from. Once I was up I sat down and looked around at the scenery. The cabin was completely surrounded by dense forest other than the lake that the cabin sat next to. As I observed I heard the sound of leaves crunching close by. Probably just an animal I thought. But it still reminded me of the plot of a scary movie. Being a fanatic of scary movies, stories, or anything of the like, I should know how the plot would unfold. And this was perfect. Three teenage boys alone in the woods with the only parental figure having left. It gave me chills to think about. I closed my eyes for a moment to concentrate on calming down. Then I heard a twig snap on the roof, behind me. I got startled and jumped. I accidentally knocked myself off the roof. I landed on the ground with a loud "umf", and winced as I sat up to see what had scared me. Sitting there directly behind where I had been was a porcelain plate with a blue striped design, and on the plate was a cupcake with blood red icing and a candy finger on top. I just sat there for a while dumbfounded and a little shaken. I slowly got up and climbed onto the roof. Under the plate was a note. It read: Hello, my friend. I noticed that you rather like scary movies, I do as well so I made this for you. - sincerely your neighbor Blake. Well, that was odd. But at least I had no reason to be freaked out now, right? I mean it was just some odd neighbor, he probably lived at the other cabin a mile from here. No need to wake the guys up over nothing. With that in mind, I grabbed the plate and climbed off the roof. Once inside the house I tiptoed to the kitchen. I debated with myself on whether I should eat this amazing cupcake. Honestly whoever made this had talent. But also may have been crazy and drugged it. No, I told myself, just an odd guy trying to be nice. Shouldn't let this cupcake go to waste. So then I popped the cupcake into my mouth. It was delicious. the icing tasted like strawberry and the cake part was chocolate. The finger was made out of chocolate as well. I moaned out loud because of the taste. "Hey, whatever you're doing please stop. I don't need to be scared like that. I'm coming to get a midnight snack." said kyler. "Oh, eyem um ust eatin uh upake" I said with red strawberry flavored icing oozing from my mouth. "What the hell are you eating?" I swallowed wiped my mouth and said "a cupcake." "Where did you find a cupcake?" He said looking around. "I didn't." "What?" He asked. "I didn't find this. Someone gave it to me" I said honestly. "Who in the hell..." kyler started to say. But I shushed him by putting my index finger against my lips. It couldn't be could it? Soft laughter coming from a broom closet Filled the room. It could be. I silently walked towards the closet, and swung the door wide open. There was a boy maybe 6-7 years older than me and my friends doubling over with laughter in the closet. And so it was. "Sorry, it was just to easy" he said. "Are you Blake?" I asked. "That's me" he answered. "Who is Blake?" Asked kyler. "The one who made the cupcake" I stated blatantly. "Oh, you mean the cup cake you were moaning about earlier" he said chuckling. "Yes" I muttered, blushing. "I'm a good cook, am I not?" I didn't answer, not wanting to embarrass myself more, so we sat in awkward silence. Thankfully, we all turned our heads; hearing Elijah loudly walking up to us. "Not to ruin the fun or anything", he said, "but how the hell did you get in here?" "The doors were unlocked it's not rocket science Elijah." I said curtly. Blake gave me a weird feeling, but that didn't mean I didn't like him. I didn't know why Elijah was being so rude. "Dude, why are you defending him? He was hiding in the closet for God's sake!" Maybe I just wasn't thinking, he wasn't wrong about one thing, Blake was just a random guy hiding in our closet. "Yeah, I guess he's right, who are you anyways?" Kyler asked, speaking my thoughts. "Blake, as we've established, and I'm your neighbor" Blake said with an amused smile and a strange gleam in his eyes.
