Halloween

By: Averi Westerman
Samantha was really excited for this Halloween. It wasn’t because of the candy, it was because she was sixteen and she was finally allowed to go the haunted house on her street. Samantha has been looking forward for this year since she was a child. She picked out a group of friends that always had the guts to come with her.
The night went on. She heard the doorbell ring. It was her group of wide receivers ready to take on the challenge of going to the haunted house. As she walked down the dark windy driveway Samantha could hear the screams coming from inside. “Ready set go”. Samantha and her friends sprinted up to the front of the house and suddenly stopped. They were all discouraged and did not want to go on that first step. Shivering Samantha urged to put out, “ Whho wants to gooo firrrstt?” in that weird whispering voice. Drew, her friend, said, “ I will”. He picked up his foot and placed it on the first step determined to keep quiet. There was a little creaking sound. One after another and he finally made up to the top step and said, “Come on. It's fine” So Samantha and Alex came up the steps. The steps made creaking noises again. They got to the top step and grabbed each other's hand and walked up to the front door and wiped their feet on the mat. Samantha dropped hands and swiftly turned the doorknob opening the heavy door with a goblin knocker on it. “Boo” Alex, Drew and Samantha screamed. At the front door was the little kid who was supposed to be sleeping instead of a scary old lady with a mole on her nose.
