Nestor rolled his eyes. He knows that the four-eyes was scared—but Colton, as always faking to look so brave infront of the group.
"Put down notes if he craps his pants, will you? " Nestor asks his buddy, Ricky.

Colton gets forward to the estate, each steps are making him want to take back his long yet struggling legs back to where his foots stand awhile ago. Colton's stomach churned, maybe one of the guys would win the bet and he would run with his tails behind his legs.
He looked back once, saw the guys were watching his every movements. All wore the same wide eye, open mouth expression that would make them idiots-like that they were ready to run off any moment. "Keep walking, keep walking, my friend. " wide eyed Reese teased.
Colton continued walking, reaching the base of the building— seems like a tower over him. Its shadow loomed across the front.
He took a deep breath and climbed a step. He was half expecting some booms of thunders and strikes him with lightning bolts, but nothing.
Gathering up more courage is the hardest.
He pressed on and climb up small stairs to reach the front doors. Large wooden planks scattered on the floor, probably taken off from the door to let kids in. Colton half hoped that they were bolted shut so he couldn't go in. He prayed it was locked.
Colton grabbed both of the rusted handles with his shaking hands, and with a grunt yank them open. The doors made a loud groaning sound as they eerily opened out for him. Inside the house, strong wind blew past him out of the house with bits of dust carrying from the wind. Forcefully, he gets inside by covering his face with the jacket sleeves.
The wind died down, he coughed as he waved away the remaining dusts on his clothing.
He is wondering why and how did this wind come as this powerful if the insides are closed from the outsides.
Colton hissed. He looked back if the boys are can still be found behind him.
Discarded bag of popcorns rolled on the ground with the breeze and huge metal gate swinging back and forth. Colton heared some screaming from the distance, everyone are screaming their lungs out just want to run away from the place or about Ricky whinning about his popcorn.
"Jerks. " Colton hissed again.
