Halloween :]]
Last night was Halloween, as most of you know. Most adults would see me as too old to go trick-or-treating, but they are quite mistaken. I will never grow up and therefore I will never b e too old to trick-or-treat. Now that I’ve said that; That is exactly what I did last nighttttt. Aha. The night was filled with a lot of different emotions and scenarios, so I doubt I will forget anything that happened.
The (starting) group consisted of thirteen people, thirteen! It was amazing. Never before had I ever trick-or-treated in a group larger than about four people. We startled every house we came to with our massive numbers, It made me laugh. However the large group was also a disappointment, it was hard keeping track of everybody and a half of the group was always too far ahead. We had dispersed into new neighborhoods unknown to me, and the group gradually separated into two different groups. The group I was in had five people in it. The reason the large group had split was because the other section (the one that was always ahead) had taken a road I did know, and I knew the road simply would lead them to Main Street and they’d eventually backtrack to us. I was mistaken.
Through the course of the night my group of five had wound itself so far into the uknown neighborhood that we had subconsciously become lost. My friends phone began to vibrate so she answered, it was a friend from the other group calling her. Apparently the girl who had called my friend had been separated from the larger group, and she was lost. Not until that moment had I really looked around and realized, we were just as lost as she was. It took about two hours until we finally found the girl who called and was lost. We(my group) had stumbled about for the two hours and walked about four miles… We hadn’t known where we were until we came to an intersection and Kings (a grocery store) came into view. But back to the main topic.. We had found the lost girl, and she told us her story with a heavy heart. Apparently the large group she was with had completely ditched her, and she had sat on a street corner waiting for us to find her. It made me very upset because this disgruntled little girl was one of my very best friends. With her as an addition to our group we had six, but shortly after a boy who was in the group went home so we were left back to five.
The rest of the night was remaining, and so gradually the five of us made our way back to my neighborhood (which we hadn’t pillaged yet). My hopes and head were high, of course we had lost two hours of valuable trick-or-treating time… But finding a friend was much more important than cheap candy. We had stayed out until ten o’clock , a lot of the houses we visited were surprised to see us. Mostly because it had been raining outside for an hour and we were soaked, but we had happy spirits and ignored the trickles of rain that would occasionally glide down our cheeks. I hadn’t gotten very much candy at the end of the night, only half a pillowcase… But near the end I started thinking about it and when I started the adventure I wasn’t excited for the candy. I was excited because I was going to see all my favorite people in the world that night, and on my favorite holiday. This morning my feet hurt, and I have the sniffles... But I wouldn’t have traded yesterday for anything, it was fabulous.
