Paint It Black
" Halloween is in a week." Trish said to Torrie.
" Yeah, I know." Torrie said.
Trish laughed. " Your not going to get scared this year, right?" Trish said.
" From what?" Torrie asked, not remembering.
" Stop acting like you don't know." Trish said.
" No, really I don't." Torrie added on.
" Remember when you kicked a guy that was lying down in the floor because you thought it was a dummy." Trish said laughing histerically.
" I didn't get scared." Torrie said.
" When he came up screaming from the pain, you did." Trish said.
Torrie smirked. " Yeah, whatever. Start making up stories, Trish."
" I'm not !" Trish screamed.
There was a silence.
" Trish, this year I can't come trick or treating with you." Torrie let out.
" Why?'' Trish loudly said.
" I need to babysit this little kid and take her out trick or treating." Torrie said.
Trish laughed. " What the hell? Are you getting money for this, or something?" Trish asked.
Torrie sighed. " Uh, well yeah. My mom got me into this stupid idea. She doesn't realize how much I love Halloween."
Trish laughed. " Is this a joke?" Trish asked. " Cause it ain't funny."
" This isn't a joke, Trish! I really do need to take a child out trick or treating." Torrie said, packing her books.
" Okay." Trish said.
" So, are you going to Candice's Halloween bash?" Torrie asked.
" Hell no. She didn't invite me and I'm glad she didn't." Trish screamed.
" Oh, she didn't invite me either." Torrie added on.
" And your mad about it?" Trish asked.
Torrie scrunched her shoulders upward. " Well, I kind of do feel sad because everyone else is invited." Torrie said.
" So." Trish said.
" Yeah, I guess your right." Torrie lied. " Anyways, where are you going for Halloween since I won't exactly be with you, unless you come with me." Torrie said.
Trish looked at Torrie. " I'm gonna have to think about it. " Trish said.
Torrie nodded her head. " Let me know, then." Torrie said.
" Okay." Trish said.
" I'm gonna get going." Trish said and began picking up her belongings. " See you at school tomorrow!" Trish said and began walking out the door.
" Bye, Trish!" Torrie called over.
Trish looked back at Torrie and smiled, not being able to wave because of all her bags and books in her hand.
That next day ( At School )
Torrie walked through the halls, over to her locker. She opened her locker and put all her books in it. She turned around and saw Trish standing there with an invitation in her hand.
" Now Maria is having a Halloween bash." Trish said, ripping the paper up in shreds.
" She, uhm, invited you?" Torrie asked.
" Yeah, why?" Trish asked.
" No, nothing. " Torrie said.
John Cena and Randy Orton came by, walking. Torrie had this interest in John. She wondered if John had interest in her.
" Torrie, hello?" Trish said, snapping her fingers in front of Torrie's face.
" Oh, yeah. Sorry." Torrie quickly said.
Trish turned to the direction she was looking at. " John and Randy?" Trish said. Then a big smile came in her face. " Oh, you like John or Randy. Tell me which one it is!" Trish said.
" No, Trish. " Torrie said, trying not to let Trish know she liked John.
" Come on!" Trish said, shaking Torrie.
" Stop!" Torrie screamed, then everyone in the hallway was looking at her and Trish. Torrie smiled and rubbed her head. The she muttered," She what you did!" Torrie said, walking away to the classroom. When Torrie passed John, John looked back and smiled. He liked her too, he just didn't want her to know it.
After the bells rung, Torrie and Trish got up.
" Hey, sorry about that." Trish said.
" No biggy." Torrie said. " It was my fault I screamed."
" And your fault why you didn't tell me!" Trish said.
Torrie laughed. " Listen, I'm not going to tell you the true story as for as long as I live!" Torrie said.
Trish laughed. " I would just love to see that be true." Trish said.
Candice passed by everyone and sat in top of the bench. " Listen up, everyone!" She called.
When John wasn't paying attention she called him over. " It's all about me! When I speak, your job is to listen. Okay?" Candice said.
John just rolled his eyes and began talking to Randy again.
" So, I guess you don't give a shit, but oh wells." Candice said dramatically. " So, my Halloween Bash is going to be totally better than Maria's ! " Candice cheerfully said.
Maria ran over to the bench and stood in top of it. " I think my party will be so much better !" Maria complained.
Pretty soon, these two men seperated the school groups and rolled up a red carpet. Everyone knew Melina was coming. Melina came in walking down the carpet.
Torrie giggled. " It would just be so funny if one day someone pulls that carpet and she ends up falling." Torrie said.
Trish laughed. " Yeah, wanna make that happen? " Trish said.
Torrie laughed. " Okay !" She said in a cheery voice.
Torrie and Trish sneaked behind all their classmates and went to the bottom of the rug.
" In the count of three." Trish said.
" 1."
" 2."
" 3" Torrie said, and pulled the rug along with Trish. Melina fell on her ass and everyone was laughing at her. She looked back at who did it and took a glance of Torrie and Trish running back to the school, giggling.
Torrie and Trish were walking home from school.
" That was so funny !" Trish said.
" Yeah, I must agree !" Torrie said.
" But you do know we are going to pay hell to her at Halloween, if we happen to bump into her." Trish said.
Torrie laughed. " Like she will be able to kick my ass. Come on, Trish." Torrie said.
Trish laughed. '' Yeah, okay. See you in Halloween!"
Torrie had a confused look in her face. " Oh, you don't want to come over by anytime during the Halloween break?" Torrie said.
" Oh, whatever. I'll see because I need to do something important for these couple of days." Trish said.
Torrie nodded her head. " Okay, see you Friday, then." Torrie called over her shoulder.
" Yeah, see you !" Trish said and turned away.
Halloween night [ 6:00 p.m.
Torrie straightened her hair out and went outside the house.
" Oh, there you are." Torrie said.
Elizabeth laughed at went to hug Torrie.
The mother of Elizabeth smiled and said," Just make sure she doesn't cross the streets by herself and she doesn't take opened candy from a stranger. "
" I'll make sure." Torrie said, holding Elizabeth's hand.
The mother of Elizabeth smiled and said," Well, you two have a good night out here." She said and drove back to her house.
" I want candy !" Elizabeth yelled.
" Okay, okay. Just wait a second. My friend is supposed to be here soon."
Elizabeth folded her arms. " No!" She screamed.
" Geez ! Calm down little girl !" Torrie said.
Trish came running towards Torrie and Elizabeth. " Sorry I'm late! I got you two some chips !" Trish said, handing over bags of chips.
Torrie laughed." Thanks Trish!"
" I want candy !" Elizabeth yelled.
" Boy, she's a tough one to satisfy." Torrie said.
Trish laughed. " Let's get on to walking and getting some candy."
They walked across the block. Halloween night was a cool, chilly night and it was really dark. Elizabeth skipped across the blocks, a few feet in front of Torrie and Trish.
" Shit." Torrie said.
" What?" Trish asked.
" It's John." Torrie said, fixing her hair and Halloween costume.
Trish stared at Torrie. " So, it's John?" Trish asked.
Torrie giggled. " Okay, so it is. What are you going to do about it?" Torrie said fooling around with Trish.
" Oh, I'm going to get John and tell him !" Trish said, running towards John.
" No !" Torrie yelled over Trish.
Torrie was running after Trish, and Elizabeth was walking to houses getting candy. Someone watch Elizabeth !
Trish was laughing and then suddenly bumped into John. " John!" Trish said, out of breath.
John laughed. " What's the matter?''
Torrie came running and put her hands over Trish's mouth. " She doesn't need to tell you anything !" Torrie screamed.
" Yes, I do!" Trish called over.
John looked at Torrie and Trish with a confused look. " Just tell me." He said.
Randy, who was with John, rolled his eyes. " Come on, John. They are playing a little joke on you." Randy said and tugged John's arm towards him.
" No !" Trish called out.
" Yes, yes we are playing a little joke. " Torrie said and tugged Trish's arm.
While all this confusion and fooling around occurred over there, what was Elizabeth doing?
Elizabeth walked along the sidewalk. Then suddenly this van, with a skull icon, stopped over to Elizabeth. The door opened and loud Metallica music came by. " Yo!" The man in the van called out. The man was dressed as Michael Myers. Elizabeth replied," Hi! Nice costume." The guy laughed. " You want some candy?" The guy said.
Elizabeth nodded her head. " Yay! Candy!" Elizabeth opened the candy bar and ate it. " Come in here, there's some more candy." The man said.
" No, I'm too full." Elizabeth said, rubbing her stomach.
" Too bad." The man said and pulled Elizabeth's arm and tugged her into the van. Elizabeth kicked and screamed. But, she was inside the van now.
" What was that screaming?" Torrie called out.
Trish rolled her eyes. " Probably some kid trying to scare us." Trish said.
Torrie nodded her head then looked back. " Trish, oh God!" Torrie screamed.
" What?" John asked.
" Trish, where's Elizabeth?" Torrie loudly said.
" Shit. Elizabeth." Trish said, looking around.
" Trish, we got to go find her!" Torrie said running across the street.
" Okay. Bye John and Randy. " Trish said.
Then Trish turned back.
" Oh, Torrie likes you." Trish said.
" Me?" Randy smiled.
John just stood there,mad, because Torrie liked Randy.
" No, silly. John." Trish said pointing to John. " What am I? Cross-eyed or something?" Trish said and walked away.
John smiled to himself and looked at Randy.
" Randy, are you okay? " John asked.
Randy flew his hands in the air. " Just think about it, Torrie and I, Tandy." Randy said, smiling.
John laughed. " Just think about it, Torrie and I, Jorrie." John said.
" Mine's better." Randy said.
" You wish!" John yelled.
" Pshh." Randy said.
" Yeah, to you too." John said.
There was a long silence.
" What are you supposed to be, anyway?" Randy asked looking over to John.
John looked at himself. " Me." John said.
Randy laughed.
" Yeah, smartass. What are you supposed to be?" John said.
" Well," Randy said looking at himself. " I didn't really get the whole costume."
" Oh, sure." John said.
" But it's supposed to be Spiderman." Randy said.
John laughed. " Macho!" John said dramatically.
" Yeah, I know." Randy said, smirking.
