Chapter 8-Boredom maneuver A-739

“Psstt! Kinya!” Emma whispered as the two girls walked through the halls that afternoon. “What?” “Hi.” They stopped moving. “Why are we whispering?” asked Kinya.
I don’t know. Let’s stop.” “Okay. Can I come over to your house tonight?” “Sure. Oh wait, Peter’s gonna be there too, is that okay?” “Yep.” They sat in the grass and looked at the clouds waiting for Peter to join them. All three bells rang before Peter finally rushed through the doors of their school. "What took you so long Peter? Let's go!" "Sorry, I-" Emma grabbed his arm before he could finish his reply and the way towards her house. They walked past penny’s pizza twice before Emma remembered to take a right-turn at the park. When they finally got to her house, their jack-o-lanterns’ eyes followed them inside. “No offense Emma, but that thing’s kind of creepy.” Said Kinya. “Yeah, I know, but dad really likes it, he wouldn’t take it down until Halloween is over, or if he sees a flying pig.

Kinya as Peter tried hard not to laugh. “What! I did.” Peter’s response was drowned out by Kaylie and her dad’s yells from inside a closet in the living room. Emma slipped over to the door to listen. Kinya and Peter followed. “ …. She’s better behaved”“Why? shouted Kaylie. “I told you you can bring her, but you have to take the other four too!” "Why? I mean Katie and Kinya are okay, but Emma and Peter?!” “You have to! You’re lucky no to have the younger kids, I’m taking them!” “Fine! Fine! But if they do anything, ANYTHING, stupid you are raising my allowance!” “They’re walking to the door! Whispered Emma. “Quick, boredom maneuver A-739!” Emma and "I’m taking you three and Katie trick-or-treating tomorrow and if you do anything stupid, I get an allowance raise. Oh yeah, and I’m also bringing Lesley.” “What?!”
