A Short Story

He was going back to a place he'd hoped he would never see again, his middle school friend's house. Chris dreaded walking to Yu's house, remembering the last time he went there. He got a black eye, and a broken wrist. Luckily the damage did not take too long to heal. He reached the front yard, but stopped and stared at the house. Wondering if he should have not come there at all, but the front door swung open. "Chris!" yelled Shafaath, Chris hid his surprise. He did not know Shafaath would have been there. "Hey Shafaath!" Chris yelled while walking towards him. "Come in quick Chris, we were waiting for you!" replied Shafaath and shut the door behind Chris after he got in. Chris looked around, he spotted Yu on the ground with a bag by his side. The bag was small, but it looked like it was stuffed with something. Chris sat by him, " What happened?" asked Chris, Yu looked at him and pulled out a stuffed file with papers almost coming out of it, from the bag. On the front of the file, in print, it said " Project Fox". Chris was shocked, " I thought you hid that!" Chris said sharply, " I did, but a problem arose." replied Yu. "What problem?", " Phil The Hotdog". Chris stayed silent, he remembered the project. It was 1 month ago when they finished it. He knew they should have talked to Phil, but they didn't so now they have to pay the consequence. " What do we do now? Do we talk to him?" asked Shafaath, Chris was so deep in thought, he forgot Shafaath was there. "No. Its too late. We have to visit him. Shafaath get his address and Chris get the Pack" said Yu. The Pack, we used it for extreme measures, he remembered where he hid it in a second. "Get everything in 30 minutes, then let's meet up here again.". About 30 minutes later when Chris got the Pack and Shafaath got the address, they all went in a car with Yu's mom, "So who's house are you guys going to?" asked Yu's mom. " Our friend Phil's house." replied Yu and gave her the address from Shafaath. They stopped a block from the house, and when Yu's mom left they all started walking to the house. When they reached it, they rang the doorbell and after 5 seconds it opened. "It's you guys!" yelled Phil when he recognized them, he tried to shut the door but they already passed him before he could. Shafaath shut the door and Yu, Chris and Phil continued talking. They used things from the Pack and talked about Project Fox. After 2 hours, Yu came up with a deal and they all started heading back to Yu's house. "That went well." Shafaath commented, "Yes, it did." replied Yu. Chris knew they shouldn't have handled the situation as they did, but it was the only way where Project Fox wouldn't be exposed. They reached Yu's house and Chris got ready to say goodbye to both of them. " Ill call again when a another problem comes up." said Yu to both Chris and Shafaath. Chris nodded and stepped outside and stopped in front of Yu's house. Chris hoped he wouldn't see this house again in a long, long time.
