BEEP BEEP BEEP!
"Turn it off!" Phil said, sleepily, rolling off the bed and blindly hitting his alarm to make it stop, identically to every morning.
As he was halfway downstairs, the phone rang.
"Who could be calling us at this time in the morning?" Phil heard his mother thinking out loud, while he was wondering the exact same thing. He crept back upstairs, and swiftly tiptoed down the hall, dodging every creak, which he knew by heart. He carefully picked up the phone, pressed the mute button and raised it slowly to his ear.
Sorry! If we told you who was calling, and why, it wouldn't be a mystery.
Phil backed up slowly into his room, but jumped when he heard a "YOW!" He spun around quickly to find Pim listening in on Phil's phone.
"What are you doing?" Phil hissed.
"What are you doing?" Pim asked as she tapped her foot on the hardwood floor.
"Well, it's sort of odd for this household to get a phone call at this time, ya know?" Phil said.
"Yeah, let alone get a phone call from anyone except little Miss Sunshine." Pim teased.
"Speaking of her, why was she here the other night?" Pim asked and she made direct eye contact with Phil.
"How'd you know she came over?" Phil asked.
"I have my sources, don't change the subject!" Pim said.
He told her all about what Keely had told him the other night, about possibly having to move to Colorado.
"You know what we're going to have to do, right?" Sighed Phil.
"No, no, no, no, no, no way. I'm not going to just let Blondie get to the grand prize. What, do I look like some charity?" Pim asked.
Phil tried to persuade her, but he was gonna be late meeting Keely, to walk to school.
Eventually he gave up. He would just have to race Pim to the prize.
Pim and Phil jogged to the meeting spot, to find Keely in a mess. She had monstrous circles under her eyes, her hair was frizzy, she had no make-up on, and she was wearing a big T-shirt and shapeless jeans.
She just didn't look like a Keely anymore, the Keely who took the time to straighten or curl her hair every day, who protest against wearing anything other than bright, colorful clothes.
Phil and Pim didn't even know what to say to this girl they were staring at.
"You can just say it, you know. But what's the point of having a fashion reputation if you aren't even staying in this place for more than a month. Yeah, I'm moving to Colorado." She said in a hoarse voice. She bit her bottom lip hard, but couldn't keep a tear from rolling down her cheek.
They walked silently and very awkwardly to school with this stranger who was suppose to be Keely. Phil shot Pim eye bullets the whole way behind Keely's back, and Pim kept glancing around nervously until she finally mouthed to Phil. "Ok, ok, I'll help. You owe me big time."

I don't think we'll be reaching our deadline of Halloween, because Cammi and I want to write the rest together and we're really busy all this week and next Monday my mom is going in for major surgery.
