Chapter 1
Aaron
No.My sunglasses are missing
Karen
What would you need your sunglasses for?
Karen
And it's the blood moon! It's dim!
Karen
Everything will be red!
Karen
And we wont even have to reach
Karen
George wants us to hurry and get out
of this city before his father discovers
that George has stolen his father's
car!
Karen
His father will call his friends in the
police department and they will patrol
the whole city in search of the car!
Karen
We will not be unable to get out if that
happens.
Karen
Tonight is our only chance to go to Mertson Woods.
Karen
Leave those sunglasses behind!
Aaron
I'd like for Grace to see me wearing them.
Karen
You think Grace would like you back if she saw you wearing your sunglasses?
Karen
What is it with you boys that are so simple-minded?
Karen
You think girls would instantly love you if you had this thing or that thing.
Karen
Has it never occurred to you that girls like the person, and not things?
Karen
How would you have Grace remember you?
Karen
The stupid, weird boy who fell into a ditch during our last vacation together because he kept on insisting that he'd wear his sunglasses even though it was the night of the blood moon.
Karen
Grace would grow up and go to college.
Karen
She'd get a job, be an adult, marry some other guy, have children, and grow old.
Karen
The memory about you will be so small to her, she'll forget it even before her hair turns white.
Aaron
Go on, try to manipulate me into leaving without my sunglasses.
Aaron
They've got to be here somewhere.
Karen
You're lucky George is here, so I have to shut up and go.
Karen
We're outside your house, Aaron!
Karen
You're the last one.
Karen
George, Grace, and Peter are already here.
Karen
Will you go out now?
Aaron
But I still haven't found them!
Karen
Those sunglasses aren't as important as Mertson Woods!
Karen
We get the blood moon only once at this time!
Karen
We get to sneak out of our houses with the car of George's father only once.
Karen
We get to skip school only once!
Karen
Everything that is hard to make right is currently right for one rare moment!
Karen
You can't let this unique chance go with something that might fail!
Karen
This is a Mertson Woods trip on a blood moon, Aaron!
Karen
We'll have our greatest dreams coming true if we got to travel through the forest during the blood moon!
Karen
Leave without those sunglasses.
Aaron
Something that might fail?!
Aaron
What are you on about?
Karen
Grace won't like you.
Karen
She likes older boys.
Karen
You don't stand a chance, so don't waste your time.
Karen
Just forget about her, leave those sunglasses, and join us so that we can hurry out of this city as fast as possible!
Aaron
Leave and go on with your escape.
Karen
WHAT?! But you're our friend!
Karen
You have to be with us!
