"So, Eve... what are you going to be for Halloween?" Kelly asked me through the phone, and I smiled.
"I'm thinking about that... loony girl... the one who fell for the guy with the scissors for hands. Remember that old legend?" I replied, and Kelly laughed. I tried to shove the fact that I just called my grandma a loony out of my head.
"Right, okay. Good luck with that."
"So, what're you going to be?"
"Probably a princess."
"Cool." I nodded absentmindedly.
I found the dress that she described in her closet a while ago, and it gave me that idea. I do kind of look like her. With some makeup and color contacts, it could work.
It was kind of weird that this "Scissorhand" legend actually walked through this house at one point in time. It kind of creeped me out, actually. Maybe that was why I was having those dreams.
"So, I'll talk to you tomorrow at school?" Kelly asked me anxiously after the few seconds of silence.
"Right. See ya." I pressed the "End" button on the phone that I bought with the money from my parent's will. Well, she needs to give me SOMETHING in return for killing herself and my father.

I shuddered in the corner, staring at my sculptures. It was two days now until Halloween. That evil holiday. It really just means more people than ever trying to break in, ringing the doorbell and expecting treats. I just hide upstairs, hoping they wouldn't look up here if they end up bursting in.
But then my mind hatched an idea. I've always seen people dressed up as me for Halloween (I just credit it to the fact they think I'm a monster), so I can just pretend that I'm wearing a really good costume, and look for Kim. Yes, this year I'm going to see her, after all this time. I can't wait.

"Please be Edward! Please? I want to MATCH!" I begged Paul as the bus careened away from us and we stood on the side of the road. He sighed.
"But he's a PANSY. I wanted to be a hot dog." Paul insisted, and I crossed my arms, putting out my lower lip.
"...Fine." He caved, and I grinned, and kissed him on the cheek, running back home. I hoped nobody saw the direction I ran.
