Chapter 8
*Delia's POV*
When we finished decorating it looked like a Haunted House threw up. But in a good way. The only way it could be better is if there was a fog machine! There were cobwebs everywhere and a zombie in the corner opposite the skeleton. There were lights along the walls as well as a black cat figure on the desk. I rolled out my sleeping bag on the floor and sat down.
"Aren't you sleeping on a matress or something?" Jasmine asked me.
"No, I want to rough it like Penelope Harkniss!" I told her.
"The floor is awfully hard to be sleeping on," Lindy commented.
"I'll be fine, " I argued and got in the sleeping bag for the night.
The next morning was Halloween. My back was really sore from lying on the floor all night, but I didn't admit it.
*Lindy's POV*
Instead of having normal classes like most universities would on Halloween, they let students stay in their dorms and frat houses to plan for any parties. Also, the Dean and professors set up workshops for any students that aren't throwing parties. One of the workshops was pumpkin carving and another one, obviously done by the biology professors, was a disecting workshop. I guess it brings out the whole gore part of Halloween but I don't see how it's different from a normal biology class.
There are rumours going around that during Halloween there are students that deal eggs and toilet paper to the students that would rather trick than treat. But I don't understand why, I thought you were supposed to become more mature when you hit university.
Jaz, Delia and I didn't go to any workshops. we spent the day catching up on what was happening with our lives and planning where we were going to "trick-or-treat".
*Jasmine's POV*
When it was getting late, we started to get ready. I put on my Scarlett Thunder costume and Lindy wore her black cat one. Delia, once again, was Penelope Harkniss, who she had been for at least three years.
"Come on Deels!" I said. "Can't you wear something else?"
"Nope!" she replied. "Let's go!" Lindy laughed and we went out to get free candy.
*Lindy's POV*
After we went to several dorms and got a lot of candy, I stopped being worried. I was worried at first that people would think it was weird that college students were actually doing the trick-or-treating thing. But I was wrong; there were a lot of other students walking around in costumes collecting candy. Also, the people at the doors seemed to like handing out candy, and I think that they found it cool. That is, until we got to one door. The woman that answered was Sherri. She wasn't dressed up and she looked disgusted.
"What are you doing here?" she asked.
"Trick-or-Treat?" I asked, nervously.
"Why do you think I would hand out candy?" she asked.
"I don't know, because it's Halloween maybe?" Delia piped up. I wished she hadn't.
"Get lost!" Sherri shouted. "I'm trying to make out with my boyfriend!"
"Boyfriend?" I asked, peering over Sherri's shoulder to see a man with dark hair sitting on the bed. "Wait, Cole?"
"Oh, hi, Lindy," he snarled, walking over with his arms crossed. It was my worst nightmare. Halloween just got scarier!
"Wait, you two are dating now?" I asked.
"Of course we are!" Sherri replied, gleefully. But I could tell by the look in her eye that she was evil. We quickly left. The two people I hate the most, dating? Oh, I was mad, and they knew it.
