School had finally let out for summer vacation my Junior year of high school. I had nothing planned but wasting the days away surfing the internet. Well, that had been the plan until Brandon my best friend decided the summer would be better spent investigating the girl in the mask at the carnival. I was reluctant, but Brandon as always knew my weakness, girls and mysteries. He told me the girl sat out front of the fortune  tellers tent all day and night. He knew that I would never approach her, no matter how curious I was. So Brandon's bright idea was this, he would place his cell phone in his back pocket and have me on the other end of the line listening.

Brandon had me stay a bit away from the tent over by concessions that way I blended in with the crowd of others using their phones. Seeing as I could no longer see the tent, all I could do was listen.

"Nice day we are having, no signs of rain." There was nothing but silence for the longest time then Brandon spoke again.

"I have to know what is with the mask? I mean one side has beautiful cherry blossoms and the other that wide grin. " Then I heard it, the most soothing voice.

"I will make a wager with you based on a flip of a single coin, heads I will tell you about my mask, Tails and you will answer a question for me. Fair enough?"

I could hear Brandon's excitement "Your on."

"Then follow me inside and we will make the deal," she said as I heard the curtain being pulled back. All I could think was Brandon was an idiot.

After a moment of silence, I finally heard her speak again. "Alright, I am ready to flip the coin, remember if I win you have to answer my question with honesty." I could hear the slap of a hand that I could only assume was the coin toss coming to an end. "Aww, it looks like tails, I win"

"Alright, a deals a deal what is your question?" I could hear Brandon's disappointment.

"What made you think you had a chance?"

"There's tails on both sides you cheating Bi---, ugh"

That is when the phone went dead and I ran.
