[SHOCK'S POV:]

"Are you going trick or treating, Tori?" My best friend, Carly Marta, asked me during the end of the day at school. She sat in back of me. Our teacher, Mister Smith, wrote a bunch of stuff on the board. He let us talk at the end of the lesson.

"Of course, I am! You can't get rid of the Queen of Halloween so easily." I bragged. Our teacher turned around.

"Who can tell me where Halloween came from?" Mr. Smith asked. A boy raised his hand.

"I know! I know! Halloween is the devil's birthday!" He exclaimed. Mister Smith smack his head with his palm in disapointment. It wasn't long til he picked me.

"Tori Matthews! Help us, please." He pleaded. I slipped my hand behind me and under my desk. Carly and I proceeded to start our secret handshake. Mister Smith stepped to the back of the room. Carly dimmed the lights by using the dimmer switch. One light didn't turn off so I pulled out my slingshot and slammed an egg into it. I pulled out my flashlight and switch it on. I lowered it under my chin to cast a shadow and make it look scary.

"Year after year, children dress up as scary creatures such as -"

I jumped onto the table and placed on a bloody witch mask.

"AAAAH!" The classroom shrieked. I jumped onto a boy's desk and flashed a devil's mask.

"AAAAH! SHE'S GONNA KILL ME!" He yelled and ducked under his desk. I pounced on the main table in the front of the class.

"Where did it all start, you ask? Halloween originated in latin where the rich gave the poor sweets for scaring away demons or ghost." I explained and hopped off the desk. Everyone seemed to calm down.

"Phew!" A girl wiped off some sweat from her fourhead.

"Some people say it's just the devil's birthday." I paced back and forth, slowly examinating my fellow classmates. I threw the flashlight on the floor.

"I say it's a mith!"

Every one was white with fear.

"Other say that they sacrefice three souls to -"

I jumped onto each one of their desk until I was face to face with my crush, Tyler James.

"THE BOOGIE MAN!" I exclaimed. He sunk into his desk with fear.

"It could be you! Or you! Or even you!" I pointed to different people. As I hopped on floor in front of the class, I lifted the flashlight up and looked at my classmate's terrified faces. Carly flipped on the switch and I shoved the flashlight into my pocket of my dark blue, skinny jeans. I adjusted my tiny black leather jacket that layed over my orange and black striped T-shirt. Tyler slowly started to clap. Everyone joined in and clapped at my wonderful performance. I leaped into my chair as people laughed and laughed.

"Good one, Tori!" A girl giggled.

"Yeah! You really had us fooled." A boy laughed. Carly covered my eyes and I laughed in reply.

"Queen of Hallo- ween! Queen of Hallo-ween!" She started to chant.

"Queen of Hallo- ween!" Tyler joined in. Pretty soon everyone was chanting it. The bell rang and they all cheered it out loud as they bolted out the door. I picked up my backpack and threw it over my shoulder.

"Hold it, 'Queen Of Halloween'." Mister Smith grabbed my by the the back of my backpack.

"That was some performance you pulled off." He crossed his arms.

"Thanks. Just being me." I bragged.

"Not a lot of people can be that brave in front of people."

"Don't make me blush!"

"Maybe, you can share some of the boldness with the class."

"Hm..."

"It'll improve your grades."

"I'm an A+ honor roll student."

"It'll make you popular."

"I already am."

"It'll improve your sport performance."

"I'm a sport all star."

"You won't ever get detention from your pranks."

"Deal!" I exclaimed, as I shook Smith's hand.

"You start today." He ordered.

"What? No way! I have things to do this week! I need to find my costume. I need to decorate my house for trick or treaters! Mister Smith, without me, Halloween is ruined!" I tried to explain.

"Fine."

"Don't worry. I'll be back." I said.

"You sure?" Mister Smith asked.

"Please...What's the worse that could happen?" I bragged, shrugging. I bolted out the door and into the courtyard.

"Hey, Tori. You're invited to my halloween party. See 'ya there." Tyler winked at me.

"Wouldn't miss it." I replied. A boy jumped in front of me with a mask on. I placed on a scarier mask and let out a mighty, fake roar. He screamed in reply.

"Dangit! Looks like The Queen of Halloween is gonna stay queen." He sighed.

"You better believe it." I laughed and threw an egg at him. "And don't forget it."

I realized something. Everything in my life was perfect. For now. A girl was tramatized from the devil mask. I comforted her by saying,

"It's okay. Who's actual dumb enough to dress up as the devil?"
