    “You’ve got two choices,” The man with a black mask says, “One: it’s you, or two: it’s her.” He points at us and then at the picture.***I was walking home from an after school activity, my parents had called and said they were going out for a bit and wouldn’t be home till late, maybe even the next morning. I decided I’d go to Chloe’s house, she said earlier that she’d be inviting the rest of our friend group, so if I could make it we’d all have a little get together because we haven’t seen each other since we changed schools.  By the time I’d called my parents back explaining that I’d be sleep...tWXone door
