CHAPTER THREE

“You know that you don’t have to do this, Taylor,” said Hannah

“I don’t mind coming with you to the registrar’s office. It’s nice out, and I’ve been cooped up inside all day. Gotta enjoy the autumn weather while it lasts.”

“You know that’s not what I mean. And it’s technically still summer until the 22nd.”

“You’re such a nerd, Hannah.”

“I’ll take that as a compliment.”

“You should. It’s weird that we’d be in school during the summer, though. Seems… wrong somehow.” Taylor had experienced a variety of summer climates in all the moves she experienced growing up, and September in New York City didn’t feel particularly summery in comparison. It was sunny and warm enough, but the breeze felt crisp on her cheeks, and it hinted of cooler weather to come. “And is it really still September?”

“Apparently so,” said Hannah.

“Wow. I feel like this might be the longest month of my life.”

“Tell me about it, hon. But seriously, to the point, I want to be sure that this isn’t something you are going to regret.”

“I don’t think this could be any worse than having to listen to you complain about computer programming all semester,” Taylor said, giving Hannah a playful nudge. “Besides, I like the idea of having you in one or two of my classes. Just not all of my classes.”

“Okay… As long as you mean it.”

“I do. We just need to strike a balance.”

“That sounds good to me, hon. Just make sure that you…. Wait.”

“Make sure that I wait?”

“No, I mean wait. Stop. Look,” Hannah pointed ahead at the corner where Guardian Square Park began.

“Uh huh. That’s the park. Same as always.” The view from the street was just brick walls and tree tops, but it all looked familiar.

“But that’s what I was talking about earlier. Don’t you think that’s just a little bit weird?”

“I think everything in my life is weird right now.” Granted, this was the kind of weird that she should have had every reason to take note of, but now she just wanted to leave it alone. While the park did look exactly as it had when she first arrived at school, that was exactly how it shouldn’t look given recent events.

“We should go check this out. Don’t think you think, Taylor?” Hannah had that little twinkle of eager curiosity in her eye, but Taylor did not share the feeling. Taylor wanted nothing to do with the place and its mysteries.

“No. I really don’t.” Taylor stopped and stood still, and Hannah was halfway down the block before she realized that she had been too busy staring at the trees to notice that Taylor wasn’t following.

“C’mon, don’t you think it’s a little odd that the trees are all back in place?” Hannah asked.

“No, I don’t think it’s a little odd. I think it’s a lot odd. Everything about this park is weird and awful.”

“Exactly. That’s why we need to investigate.”

“Can I remind you that it’s dangerous in there? I have shed blood literally every other time I’ve stepped foot inside that stupid place.
