HALLOWEEN DAY
Dave hopped in his car and drove off to school. But today, he did
something he rarely did. He drove right in front of the Castle. It was
almost like the castle was calling him.
He stared at its dark windows. Chills ran up his spine thinking back
to when he and his 2 best friends were just 13. And one died.
Later that day, in lunch, Dave sat with a couple of his music loving
friends.
"Dude, there's a Deftones concert in Atlanta tonight. Wanna say
Screw the dance and drive to it. I'll bet we can get some tickets
there." His friend Rodney asked eating a hoagie.
Dave thought about then looked over at the "Popular" Table
where Barb sat with her boyfriend, Scott.
She looked so happy. Dave wondered, 'Am I falling for a girl I haven;t
really talked to in 4 years?' He wondered if it was just because they
shared a common bond, of that dreadful night.
"Dude? Earth to Dave, Come In Dave? Are you there Dave?"
Rodney asked.
Dave shook himself out of the trance and said, "Uh... I can't not
tonight. Its Halloween, and I kind of have plans..."
"What plans?" Rodney asked. He foowed Dave's bright blue
eyes as they stared at Barb.
"You have plans with Death? Cause if Scotty Johnson sees you
looking at his girlfriend like that, he might just kill you."
Rodney laughed.
"No... its... Nevermind." Dave said.
THAT NIGHT************
Dave put on some dressy corduroy pants and a vintage tee shirt, and
added a blazer for style purposes. He wanted to go to the dance, only
o dance with Barb. He usually hated that kind of school function, but
she was eally on his mind A LOT.
He thought about how could her perfume smelled when he dropped her off
at her house yesterday.
He started to get nervous.
He left for the dance.
That next day, HALLOWEEN, Dave got dressed for shool. He was trying to
think of the dance that was later that night. But all he could really
concentrate on was his dream, and the fact that 4 years ago to the
day, his friend was murdered inside that creepy old castle.
