“It doesn’t count if you’re already planning your defeat.” mocked Mandy with a tone of dominance in her proud voice. “We’ll see about that, considering my bestie has true talent unlike you.” Samara said, defending Chloe. “Oh really … ha ha ha!

He stared at me with his bloodshot eyes which gave me the feeling of creep rise from my feet throughout my entire body.
