64th+Avenue+-+Saffy+-+Halloween+Story

__Oct.22.09 by Saffy__ __64th Avenue__   “This is….PERFECT!!!!” Chloe screamed. She had on a long pink gown with a silky white dress underneath; there was a glittery ring on her middle finger and her long golden hair sat down neatly on her shoulders. Chloe and her mum were getting ready for Halloween. They looked all around the mall until they found the perfect dress. “But sweetie don’t you want to be… I don’t know…a little scarier?” her mum said softly. Well…. //Chloe //  found the perfect dress.  “Muuuumm pleassee? You sound just like my friends.” Chloe’s mum sighed. Then eventually she gave in. That night Chloe looked for the accessories, she soon found a pink headband and some pink glittery flats. After she did that, she turned on her laptop and went on MSN, sure enough one of her best friends, Samantha, was on there. She’s on there 24/7! <3princesschloe: I found the __perfect__ outfit for Halloween!! SaMAnThaRoX: really?...oh….wait your dressing up as a princess aren’t you? <3princesschloe: yeah…is something wrong with that…? SaMAnThaRoX: noooo…it’s just, can’t you be scary? __Every__ year it’s either a fairy, a princess or even a pumpkin! Look, if you want come over to my house I’ll help you get a good outfit. When Chloe saw this, her face went from white to red. How could she do this? Soon Chloe calmed down and she went to her bed and grabbed her cell. Chloe: sigh, why does Samantha have to be so bossy? // Beep beep, // Natasha: okay let me guess this time. You want to be a princess but Sam disagrees with that because //she// wants you to be scary. Chloe: ha, you guess it right every time =] Natasha: okay Chloe don’t get mad but I actually agree with Sam because…Halloween is __meant__ to be scary! Sorry if you’re mad. Chloe was getting __really__ annoyed now and she couldn’t even ask Alisha because she would just say the same thing! Chloe finally decided that she didn’t care what they thought; she __will__ dress up as a princess. __On Halloween Night….__  “Sam! You look G-R-E-A-T!” shrieked Alisha. Chloe was still mad at her so she didn’t say anything, although she did look great. She had her black hair pulled back into pigtails and cuts covered her grey face, her outfit was faded red and blue with dirt everywhere. She was a dead cheerleader.  But Natasha looked great too; her long golden locks were curled into tight curls with a cute devil-horn headband inside, she had a short cape on with a devil dress underneath. Chloe suddenly felt really left out, she should have dressed in a scarier outfit, even Alisha was scarier then her and she usually dresses in a cute skirt with matching jewelry and shirts everyday! She was dressed in a long gown with black fake spiders dotted around the waist; her hair was open and straightened with a big, black witch’s hat on top. As soon as Sam saw Chloe, she rolled her big hazelnut eyes and started walking away. Alisha caught up with her and Natasha stayed behind with Chloe. “Where are we going anyway?” Chloe asked confused. They had already passed their neighbor’s house. Now it was Natasha’s turn to roll her eyes. “Duuuhhh…64th Avenue of course.” Chloe still looked confused and Natasha sighed and explained. “64th avenue has the haunted house there…where nobody goes…” “Ohhhhh…” Chloe’s voice trailed off. 64th avenue ? Even the //street //  sounded scary. When they got there, Chloe saw a big, gloomy, house at the end of the cul-de-sac, its big windows creaked and there were spider webs everywhere. Soon Chloe and Natasha caught up with Sam and Alisha. Chloe’s eyes where still fixed on the house. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">“Chloe...Helloooooo? come back to earth” Sam waved her hand in front of Chloe’s face, and Chloe finally broke away from the stare. “ha! You’re //scared//” “So? So is Alisha and Natasha.” Their eyes were fixed on the house too. “Well at least they’ve dressed in scarier costumes, //you// can’t even do //that”// Sam said eyeing Chloe up and down. Fury rose inside of Chloe, why is she being so //mean?// There’s no need! Chloe wanted to show everyone that she could be brave too so without even thinking, she opened the creaky gate, marched up the path and pushed open the big, dark door. Watching Sam’s mouth drop open. Then she slowly walked inside while the floorboards squeaked underneath her. “h-h-h-hel-l-lo? Is a-a-nyb-bo-d-dy hom-e-e?” no one answered. //Slam!// the door closed behind her. Chloe shut her eyes. //It’s just the wind. There isn’t anyone here. It’s just the wind.// She slowly walked into the kitchen, then the living room ..then all the other rooms, they looked quite familiar to her. It was then that she realized that it was Aunt Caroline’s house! She used to live right here but then she moved away to Hawaii ! Chloe ran down the stairs to tell her friends but suddenly she had an idea. //She// would trick //them!// She could scare them! Chloe quickly raided her Aunt’s bathroom for make-up she found, black eyeliner, white blush and bright red lipstick. She quickly applied them and ran into the laundry room. She found thick black paint there and a tattered old paintbrush. She quickly ripped her dress a bit, then outlined the holes in black paint. Then she quickly scuffed her hair up a bit, then looked into the mirror. She looked like a whole different person. Chloe squeezed into the gap between the dresser and table then she screamed, “Help! Save me! Plea-ease!” //that will get them coming,// she said to herself//.// She heard the front door creak open. “Ch-lo-e?” stumbled Samantha “Wh-e-r-r-r-e where are you? “Help! Guys! Hellllllllpppppppp I’m up in the bedroom!” shrieked Chloe. She heard some people stumbling up the stairs, and finally she saw Samantha’s shaking body walk through the doorway, Alisha and Natasha followed. “Y-y-o-u-u he-r-re?” Alisha stuttered over the words. When they finally reached the dresser, Chloe jumped out and shrieked. “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!” they all screamed their heads off. Chloe stopped screaming and laughed. “Chloe? Oh my goodness that was NOT funny!!!!!” Natasha said but then she started giggling. Alisha and Samantha joined in. When they finally stopped Chloe explained to them how it was her Aunt’s house and how she transformed her dress from a pretty in pink princess to a dark, horrid zombie. When she finished, they all laughed again, her friends realized she wasn’t such a baby after all. They left the house, arm in arm and carried on with their trick or treating. This was the best Halloween ever!! The End.
