hey! it's heather. wyd?

[Benjiman Burroughs]

graveyard girl. hey. smokin’. you?

[Heather Goodwin]

you want the truth or a safer white lie?

[Benjiman Burroughs]

are you wandering through the graveyard again?

[Heather Goodwin]

not exactly... why? you hoping i would be so you could see me again?

[Benjiman Burroughs]

i just wanna know why a pretty girl like you was wandering the graveyard all alone.

[Heather Goodwin]

i would have had my bff and her bf with me but they got too scared last time we were there. let's just say we saw and heard some spooky shit.

definitely glad i ended up with a cute guy's number the second time around.

[Benjiman Burroughs]

you’re not a shadysider are you?

[Heather Goodwin]

what gave me away?

[Benjiman Burroughs]

because you’re naive. no shadysider in their right mind would go looking in those tunnels. especially after such a tragedy.

[Heather Goodwin]

but don't you guys wanna know why all the shitty stuff happens to your town? maybe there is a way to stop it?

[Benjiman Burroughs]

it’s the witch.

[Heather Goodwin]

so you believe in the witch? what sort of things do you know/believe about her?

[Benjiman Burroughs]

of course, i believe. too many fucked up things have happened for it not to be a curse.

Before the witch's final breath,
She found a way to cheat her death
By cutting off her wicked hand,
She kept her grip upon our land
She reaches out from beyond the grave,
To make good men her wicked slaves
She'll take your blood, she'll take your head,
She'll follow you until you're dead
When she’s near blood will fall,
And the curse will last until body and hand unite

a copy and paste from max's blog.

[Heather Goodwin]

Have you personally seen anything? Do you know Max? Where is her body and hand? Why hasn't anyone tried stopping the curse?

[Benjiman Burroughs]

ight miss 21 questions.

yes, i know max. no. i've never seen anything. idk? they die?

[Heather Goodwin]

I can't help it, I'm a curious girl. One last question though, how hard do you think it would be to break into Shadyside High?

[Benjiman Burroughs]

relatively easy i'd say. jfc why are you going to break into the high school?

[Heather Goodwin]

I'll only tell you if you're planning on helping. Otherwise, the less you know the better.

[Benjiman Burroughs]

don't give me that shit. ima just need you to tell me what you plan on doing and then i'll let you know if i wanna help or not.

[Heather Goodwin]

Short answer: I wanna dig around in the school records. That good enough for ya?

[Benjiman Burroughs]

fine. i guess i'll go.

[Heather Goodwin]

Awesome! I'm thinking Friday, some time after 11, that cool?

[Benjiman Burroughs]

i gotta switch some things around but yeah. sounds good.

[Benjiman Burroughs]

where we breaking into next?

[Heather Goodwin]

You do know you can always just ask me on a date if you want an excuse to see me, right? But if you wanna go breaking into somewhere, I'm sure I could find something.

[Benjiman Burroughs]

nah. i ain’t doing that through text.

[Heather Goodwin]

You can keep me safe at Penhurst? I'm not breaking in so much as trying to infiltrate. After the dead end at the school, figured we could try there next.

[Benjiman Burroughs]

why? there’s nothing at penhurst.

[Heather Goodwin]

Then where do you suppose we break into next?

[Benjiman Burroughs]

the tunnels. i wanna see it.

[Heather Goodwin]

What?!? Are you being fr?

[Benjiman Burroughs]

mmhm. frfr.

[Heather Goodwin]

why? there's something seriously wrong about that place.

[Benjiman Burroughs]

because i'm sure that place has answers.

[Heather Goodwin]

the answer to what? all that we got from down there last time was a list of names we already have and some ptsd.

[Benjiman Burroughs]

hey wyd?

[Heather Goodwin]

research. you?

[Benjiman Burroughs]

smoking a joint and thinking about a particular red head.

[Heather Goodwin]

about how weird and crazy she is?

[Benjiman Burroughs]

lol no. i’m worried and wanted to make sure she was ok. so, you good?

[Heather Goodwin]

other than the recurring tunnel nightmares, I'm good. ready to be done with school so I can have more time to see a particularly handsome "bad boy".

[Benjiman Burroughs]

i keep telling you my weed would take care of those.

you gonna come to shadyside? i ain’t going to your side of town. I’d stand out too much and don’t wanna cause trouble with your football friends.

[Heather Goodwin]

and I keep telling you, my parents would literally kill me if they caught me smoking.

You could take them... if they actually fought fair. So yeah, looks like Shadyside is my summer vacation spot... Never thought that would happen.

[Benjiman Burroughs]

what if you don’t have to smoke it?

sunnyvalers don’t play fair. especially when it comes to shadysiders.
