Chapter 729: DISTRACTING CAYENNE II
The following day, Cayenne went back to the university to submit her projects and hang out with her friends. This time, Faith and Noah was tasked to distract Cayenne from thinking too much. Stefan wanted her days to be occupied with different things in order to keep her mind from wandering somewhere else.
“Yen.” Brian called out her name during his class and Cayenne stood up immediately. She walked in front and handed in her project since they needed to go one after another for the teacher to check if they are missing anything. “You’re good to go.”
“Can I wait for my friends here. I won’t make any noise.”
“Sure.”
Cayenne went back to her seat and waited for her friend’s turn. Although she wasn’t making any noise, she was chatting with Stefan through messenger since there was no discussion going on.
Cayenne: I heard that there’s a newly opened horror house nearby. I’d like to check it with my friends ??.
Stefan: Don’t you have anything else to do? [He asked even though he would still indulge her with what she wanted despite having another task at hand. And he knew that Faith invited Cayenne to go out because they planned all that.]
.....
Cayenne: We won’t take long. Also, Faith and Noah promised to come home with me and check the package that we bought in London??.
Stefan: Alright. Have fun! ??
As soon as he agreed, Cayenne wrote something on a piece of paper and showed it to Noah and Faith; My husband agreed.
Noah and Faith smiled happily at her message, hiding the fact that they knew very well that Stefan would say yes.
Taking out his phone, Noah sent Stefan a message. “The horror house won’t take so much time. Do you mind if we go to Dale’s café?”
“I don’t mind. She has bodyguards anyway.”
And just like that, Cayenne will have her day fully scheduled until evening came. And there’s no need to question what her evening would be like. Sure enough, Stefan has his plans.
At noon, Stefan came to have lunch with them but went to work as soon as he finished his meal. Although Cayenne was wondering why he was in a hurry, realizing that he could be busy with work, she didn’t question him anymore. Unlike her, Stefan has many other things to do.
In the afternoon, they went to try the horror house which was called Asylum. The entrance alone could spook many people already if they aren’t fond of scary things. When they got there, they discovered that many of the university students have come to try it as well. They even found some of their classmates waiting for their turn.
“Not many places would offer this kind of thrill so a lot of people have come here.” Noah commented as they walked to the ticketing booth where they’ll pay for their tickets. “Thankfully, two of our subject professors in the afternoon couldn’t come.”
“But I preferred if they would come today and give us a free day tomorrow.” Faith expressed since she thought it was a hassle to come to school when there was no formal discussion going on. “I wish I could be like Yen who can take several days off from school.”
“You have to study hard for that because Yen is compensating her lack of attendance with high scores.” Noah retorted which stumped Faith and earned him a pinch on his arm. “Violence is the key if you couldn’t retort my words, huh.”
“Hmph! It’s because I couldn’t understand the professors when they discuss the topic.”
“You still don’t understand it even when I discuss it with you.”
“But I didn’t fail!”
“You barely passed.”
Cayenne didn’t know why their topic shifted to class and their scores but one thing was for sure; Faith and Noah were getting along just fine.
When it was their turn, Noah walked first followed by Faith and then, Cayenne came last. The moment they passed the threshold to the entrance, a rattling sound came from the coffin in front of them and the dim lamp on the side died out. The place suddenly turned very dark and they heard the lid of the coffin was pushed aside.
“Welcome to our home.”
Faith tightly gripped Noah’s arm and buried her face on his back. “Let’s move forward. I want to end this soon.”
“Where’s the thrill if we’ll end this so soon?” Noah commented and took several steps with his hand stretched out in front of him to feel the way. Few seconds later, they found a faint light in front of them and followed it. There; they saw a clown holding a balloon. He was standing on the side and they thought he was just a statue.
“Boo! Hahahaha”
“AAAAAAAAHHHHH!” Faith and Cayenne yelled out at the same time and pushed Noah to move forward in haste.
White ladies came out crawling from different crooks and crannies. A man with a chainsaw prop came out of nowhere and chased them. There was a doll on a rocking chair and the eerie laughter sent chills and goosebumps on them.
“I don’t like this anymore.” Faith yelled with her eyes closed in fear. “I want to go out now.”
“We’re on our way out.” Noah stated while looking back to check the women behind him. “Where’s Yen?”
Faith looked back and Cayenne jumped up from the ground where she squatted. “AAAHHHHHHH Help!” Faith screamed which caused Cayenne and Noah to laugh so hard at her. “I hate both of you. I don’t like you anymore.”
With staggering feet, racing hearts from adrenaline rush, accompanied with loud screams and gibberish curses; the three of them finally made it out of the horror house. The three of them looked at each other and laughed. Despite the sticky sweats clinging to their skin, the three of them had fun like never before.
“This is the last time I’m ever getting inside a horror house. There will be no second time.” Faith declared while glaring at Noah. “I’m sweaty.”
“Likewise. Since you planned this, did you guys bring a change of clothes?”
Noah and Faith looked at each other and shook their heads. “How about you Yen? Oh. Nevermind. I’m sure you do.”
“Ah? Hahaha. Stefan always put a bag of extra clothes in the car for me.”
“No fair!”
