You scream like a girl as something grabs your foot! Blinded by the sudden bright lights you can't make out what or who it is, and you run like mad, screaming the whole way down the hall.
Finally your eyes adjust a little more and you hazard a peek over your shoulder... to see Dana Pendrell rolling on the floor in hysterical laughter.
Despite your mad adrenaline rush, you find the composure to stop yourself and regain a semblance of unaffectedness as you turn to face her. "WHAT was that!?"
She can barely talk through the laughter, and finally it dies down to wheezing. She gets up on her knees and wipes tears away from her eyes. "You should have seen the look on your face! It was priiiiiiiiceless!" She stands up and laughs.
"Yeah, haha very funny!"
"Yeah, well you ate MY sandwich you little twerp!" Dana suddenly gets angry, and almost all traces of humor are gone from her face.
"That wasn't very nice."
She laughs maniacally again. "You should have seen your face," She repeats. "You are SUCH a wuss! I mean, jeesh!" She mimics your stance and recreates the scene, pretending to be an exaggerated you being grabbed at the ankle and freaking out. "Aghhhhhhhh! Boogey man!" She doubles over in laughter again.
"Ha ha ha like I said, very--"
"Wait." Dana's blue eyes get wide and her smile drops into a frown. "Did you hear that?" A little panic is in her voice.
"Trying to get me again?" You chuckle a little and take a few steps toward her casually. "Well it's not working. Nice try, but it's a little too obvious--"
"NO!" She cuts you off.
She's shaking, you notice as you get closer. You stop and listen, still suspecting it to be a prank.
Tap tap. Scratch. Tap. Ping.
"What is that?" You ask.
You both lock eyes, neither really looking at the other, both with far away looks on your faces as you listen to the tapping get closer and closer.
"WHAT IS THAT!?" You start to get hysterical.
"I don't know!" She spins around, trying to pinpoint where it's coming from.
