Everyone stood and I stood a second later. Someone lead the Pledge of Allegiance and then we all sat down. “South High Students, this Friday is Halloween and we are too old for trick or treating, and too young for bar-hopping. Instead we are having a high school dance. Wear your most scariest costume and the winning boy and girl will be crowned Halloween King and Queen.”
I leaned over and looked at Robbie. “I wish you could take me.”
He looked back at me. “I was going to go with Amy…”
I shrugged and gave a disappointed look.
“…but, why not. It’s not homecoming or prom. Maria, will you be my date for the Halloween dance?”
