Haunted house- fun
Them being mean to a stray dog- crappy

[Elaine · Rating 3 out of 5]

The members of Eight Prime are planning a haunted house to continue to raise money for the purchase of a bus for the program Peter heads up with his friend Chris.

In Promises, Promises we find out what Miguel’s been hiding. He scoffs at Peter’s telling him that he’d be praying.

Peter usually asks Jenna to the homecoming dance which they attend as friends. She’s distracted as to why he hasn’t asked her yet to this year’s homecoming.

Melanie seems interested in Peter. The only thing Jesse seems interested in is getting back on the football team after being caught with liquor in his locker.

This one in the series seems to be missing something. Or else it's merely that there's nothing which draws the reader's interest.
