Austin O'Connor always liked hanging out with Jonathan Blake. They had been friends a long time, although they didn't always hang out together as much as they used to. Or as much as either young man would like. Jon was busy with his music and Austin was busy with his sports. And both were still in school. To some people, they seemed like an odd pairing, but Austin was the type of person who could make friends with a stranger while waiting in line. He was pretty easy going on and pretty well liked.<br/><br/>His girlfriend of the last three years, Karen Reynolds, was much shyer then him. Again, it seemed almost odd. Unless she knew someone well, Karen was very quiet around them. Letting Austin do the talking. Although, she did know Jon and Megan Philips. So, she was more open to talking to them.<br/><br/>It was proving to be a fun night. Austin drank some beer, while Karen stuck to soda. She had never been a big drinker and was always Austin's designated driver.<br/><br/>"She's probably afraid to catch something from you, Jon."<br/><br/>Austin told his friend with a smirk, when Meg moved away from Jonathan. Karen just shook her head and leaned forward to see what was in the box. Karen bit her lip nervously when Jon pulled out the Ouija board, while her boyfriend got a big grin on his face.<br/><br/>Austin nodded his head eagerly at the suggestion. Karen, personally agreed with Meg. She didn't think Ouija boards should be messed with. Her grandmother had told her a story once about why it wasn't a good idea to play with them. Before she could speak, Austin said.<br/><br/>"I do! I watched a show where the people used one and found out there was a thirteen year old living in their house. It was cool, we should totally try it. I want to talk to a spirit, any type of spirit."<br/><br/>He grabbed a hold of the planchette. Karen touched his arm.<br/><br/>"Yeah, but....My grandmother told me that they are dangerous...."<br/><br/>Karen said with quietly. Austin replied to her.<br/><br/>"Your grandmother also throws salt over her shoulder and avoids black cats on Friday the 13th."<br/><br/>Austin did like Karen's grandmother but she believed in many old wives tales.<br/><br/>"Come on, trust me. It'll be fun."<br/><br/>Austin added and Karen sighed.<br/><br/>"Okay."<br/><br/>Although she didn't feel as confident as her boyfriend was about this.
