I can't wait to see her. I feel like jumping around the room just thinking about her.

I carve the last eye on the pumpkin with my knife and look at it, the whole pumpkin, my Jack-o'-lantern.

"Your smile is creeping me out" I turn to the side as I hear Mason's voice, he is sitting on the couch with his legs up eating the cookies mom made this morning, I roll my eyes and look back at my pumpkin "Didn't you say you were here to help me?"

"Yeah I brought that knife for you from the kitchen and now I am taking a break that I deserve" he says and I turn around with the pumpkin in my hand, "Wow thanks alot" I say walking towards the table to keep the pumpkin.

"Your welcome" Mason says as I keep my pumpkin down on the table of the living room.

"Want some more cookies?" mom asks Mason with a smile, walking in the room with a plate full of cookies in her hand.
"I would like to but I gotta stay fit for the match" Mason says, flexing his biceps.

Mom laughs softly and looks towards me, "Want some?" She says bringing the plate closer towards me.
I smile and put one cookie in my mouth and take another in my hand, "Time to feed Valerie" I say chewing the cookie, "Oh! I totally forgot I should give her some cookies too"

"No cookies are bad for cats" I say eating another cookie.

"Oh really?" Mom says eating a cookie from the plate, "since when did you know so much about cats?"

"Uh..." I look up thinking "I searched alot on the internet to be safe" I look at her again, smiling.

Mason coughs.

"Oh you guys gonna go out in evening?" Mom asks going back in the kitchen, "Yeah" I say and look towards Mason and I find him grinning at me.

"Didn't know you were such a cat lover" he says, still grinning.

I take a pillow from the couch behind me and throw it at him.

I text her then put my phone back in my jacket. There's pumpkins everywhere, near every doorstep, lights, kids with buckets already filled with candies, everyone dressed up in weird costumes.

I am probably looking like the weird one standing here with just black pants and leather jacket.
I turn to the left and start walking straight on my way to meet Elise.

"Hey! Drewww" I stop walking and start looking for Mason cuz no one else calls me like this other than him.

I turn back and see him standing near a car with his other friends, wearing black shades and surprisingly Mason is the only one not wearing a costume, "Weren't you going to dress up as a dog?" I ask walking towards them.

"I was but I got no black cat" he sighs with his head down, "That's why I am dressing up as something more iconic" he looks at me again with a grin and I keep looking at his clothes trying to understand what's the costume.
"Nah I am not dressed yet" he says making it clear, "I will be dressing later" he takes off his black shades with a grin, "at night when it's time to partyyy" he turns around looking at everyone, "WOAHHH" everyone screams with him.

"Where are you going by the way" he turns back towards me again, "Um" I know the second I say Elise's name he's gonna tease me, "to meet Elise".

"Woahh Drew's got a dateee" he turns around towards everyone and they all start making weird noises teasing me, "Woooooooh".

Knew it.

"Bye" I turn around and start walking again while they all continue laughing at the back.
