Authors Note: Hello readers! I'd just like to state that this is my first story so sorry if you are displeased by my story in any way! I also apologize if any characters seem Out Of Character. I'm doing my best on that one. Anything else? Hmm...yeah. Enjoy! I at least hope you will. :)
It was mid October at Ring Worm Junior High and all the students were buzzing with their plans for the coming day of Halloween. Some students were discussing costumes while others discussed party plans and some even started spreading the usual scary stories/warnings that floated about to make the day even scarier.
Abby Archer was rummaging through her locker for her math homework when she felt a tap from behind. She turned quickly to see the smirking face of Paige. "Hello Paige." She said in an already irritated voice. "Now, now Abby," Paige said, shaking a finger at her. "Is that really any way to talk to a person who's just inviting you to a party?"
Abby raised an eyebrow but before she could speak, Paige handed her an invitation. It read "Halloween Party and You're Totally Invited!" at the top in big pink bold letters. "Um...thanks Paige?" She said questioningly before a suspicious look crossed her face. "What?" Paige asked as Abby closed her locker. "Why would you invite me to your party? What's the catch?" "No catch. I'm inviting everyone in the whole school. Daddy just bought an even bigger house than before and wants there to be a kind of house warming party, or something like that. So he told me to invite anyone I wanted and I chose to invite everyone, which includes you and your brother." With that said, she handed her another invitation and walked off with her posse who had returned from handing out other invitations.
She watched them go before glancing down at the invitations. Half of her kept up the option "It's a trick, don't go. She might do something to embarrass you." while the other half said "C'mon! This might be the coolest Halloween party ever! We can't miss it just because we're not on good terms with Paige! Greg might be there!"
"Abby!" Ty's voice snapped her out of her inner discussion. "Wha-What? Oh, sorry Ty. I was just..." She didn't really know how to explain what she was doing. "Are you okay? You're making funny faces." This caused her to glare before she handed him his invitation. "What's this?" Ty scanned it before smiling wide. "Wow! You got two invitations to Paige's party! Holy cow! How?!" "Paige gave them to me herself. She said she's inviting everyone in the school but I don't buy it. I think something's up." Ty's expression turned from the initial excitement to one of unconvinced disapproval.
"C'mon Abby! I know you like to think rationally, um, most of the time but can't you relax just once! This party's gonna be big! And probably fun! With lots of candy!" At the last statement, his eyes lit up like he had just been granted a wish. Abby shook her head but couldn't help but smile at her brothers excitement. "Well...fine. I guess I'll go. But if I see anything suspicious, I'm heading out of there with or without you." He shrugged. "Fine, as long as you give it a try. Ooh! I wonder if Naomi's received an invitation yet! I'm going to go ask."
However, before he could run off to wherever Naomi was, their Grossometers gave the usual signal that they were being called. "Ooooh!" Ty groaned, annoyed. Abby opened hers up and they both looked inside to see Lab Rat and Hermes. "What's up?" Abby asked. "I don't know yet" Lab Rat stated. "But the Director wants you two to come in so he can talk to all of us." "Wow, it must be big then." Ty guessed, glancing at Abby. She nodded. "We're on our way." And so, the two left through their respective lockers, the invitations tucked into their pockets.
