Ch. 3
"What are you wearing?" Sarah laughed. "I could hardly even recognize you.
"Do I look like a real zombie?" I asked doing my best zombie limp.
"You're absolutely horrifying," she winked. She had invited me to her friend Lanie's Halloween party and they were both dressed as cats. Music blared and people sat on couches eating candy and caramel-covered apples in pirate and witch costumes.
"Let's dance!" Sarah smiled and Lanie nodded excitedly. She grabbed my hand and pulled me into the middle of the living room. Every song that came on was fun and easy. And although she danced with everybody, I still smiled when Sarah took my hands and spun around.
We danced all night.
"Oh my gosh, you have got to be kidding me," Lanie growled as we helped her clean. "I told Justin and his crack head friends they couldn't light anything in the house." I leaned over and saw where they had burned the couch when putting out their joint.
"Let's get them back," Sarah suggested giving Lanie a hug.
I turned off my headlights and gave each of them a handful of eggs. "On three," Sarah whispered bursting with anticipation. She held up three fingers and we sent our eggs flying.
"Take that!" Lanie yelled sending one at Justin's window. "And that!"
His front door opened and I tossed the last of the eggs at his feet. "See ya!" Sarah and Lanie waved, jumping in the bed of my truck. I will never forget the look on Justin's face as he stood in his boxers staring in disbelief at the ground.
