"Hurry Lilith we have to get dressed so we can give ut the candy!" Alisha yelled from the hallway.

"Yes Ali I'll hurry. This costume is just so confusing!" I yelled back. "Why does it have to have so many holes!" I asked in frustration.

Once i had gotten the costume on right i opened the door. Alisha and Mary stood outside the door and hurried me down the hallway.

"Ali! We should do Lilith's makeup!" Mary jumped up and down from excitement.

"Omg yes! That would be so much fun! And you will look beautiful Lili." Alisha grabbed my arm and sat me down on a chair in the dining room. They grabbed a mascara tube and started applying it to my eyelashes.

"Just dont poke out my eyes!"

"We wont. Now stop talking or else it wont turn out perfect." Alisha ordered.

After what seemed hours but was most likely just ten minutes, they finished.

"Ok lili i think we are done." Mary handed me a mirror and I looked at their work.

"It looks good." I finally answered. I didnt like wearing make-up but i guess since it was Halloween i could make an exception.

*DING DING* The doorbell announced the first person.

"OHHH! The first trickortreater!" Mary and Alisha said in unison. They both truned to each and other and started lauhing. "Jinx!" They both yelled at the same time. This lasted for a while until the doorbell went of again.

"I'll get it." I let them two continue their little twin moment.

I opened the door and was greeted by a small 8 year old.

"Trick or treat! Can i have some candy please... I really want candy. Candy is really good. It taste nice. Do you like candy? I like candy. Did i mention i like candy? Cuz i really like candy." The little kid rambled on. Jeez should i even be allwoed to give him any more? It seemed as if he had already had tons of it.

"Um yeah candy is nice." I dumped a handful of funsized candy.

"Byue!! Thanks for the candy. You are nice. You gave me a lot. I will eat it all. Maybe tonight. Did i tell you i like candy?" The little kid's parent came and dragged him to a next house.

Wow. He obvioulsy didnt need anymore candy.

"That kid was hyper!" Alisha said.

"Youre telling me. Now come on we should play a game while the people come." We sat down at the dining room, since Mary's mom was already in the living room.

"OH! We should play truth or dare!" Alisha suggested.

"Sure." We sat down and started the game.

"Lilith, truth or dare?" Mary asked me.

They had boh been picking truths so i decided to be the one to take a dare. "I choose dare."

"Ok. Let us think of one." They both turned around so their backs were facing me, and started to whisper to each other.

Once they had figured out what they wanted me to do they turned to face me. "You have to flirt with the next person that comes. And ask them out on a date."

A date? Why a date? What if the next person is a 5 year old? UGH.

"Ok i'll do it." I stated. Just because they werent going to do dares didnt mean that i shouldnt either. No matter how dumb or pointless my dare was.

"Wow. Youre a strong little rascal!" Alisha seemed surprised that i was willing to flirt with a random stranger. I couldnt blame them, after all i barely even liked to talk about guys, much less flirt with one.

*DING DING*

"Ohhhh.... Lilith this one's all yours." Mary said in a funny tone.

I took a deep breath before opening the door. "Hello." I said with a smile.

"Hello. Trick or treat." The guy said holding up his basket.

"How old are you?" I asked as i placed my arm on the doorway. Man i hope i dont look ridiculous.

"Im 14. This is for my little brother. Hes too shy to come up here." He pointed to his brother that was standing on the sidewalk.

"Aw that is so nice of you." I smiled again.

"Yeah i guess." He smiled back. "Hey dont i know you from somewhere?" He asked. He studied my face, most likely trying to remember where he knew me from.

"Oh thats right. You were the girl that went around the neighborhood selling chocolate bars werent you?" He asked.

"Yeah. It actually is my friend's neighborhood not mine. Im just here for a sleepover." I went with the cliche flirting thing and started twirling my hair. I started giggling like crazy, mostly because this was not how i was.

I handed him a handful of the good candy. "Here some for you and some for your little brother. Try not to eat too much candy, you are already sweet enough."

I heard Mary cracking up at my horrible line. After a second Alisha joined in. They both gave me a thumbs up, encouraging me to continue.

The guy started laughing as well. "Um thanks. Whats your name?"

I stood confused for a second. Did the flirting actually work? Who in the right mind would like a girl who twirls her hair to get guys?

"Her name is LILITH!!" Mary yelled from the dining room. Great they were listening. They would probably never let me hear the end of this. Lucky me.

"Yeah my name is Lilith. Whats yours?" I asked smiling once again. Man after this i am not flirting ever again.

"My name is Owen Pham."  He leaned in closer to me. Was he going to hug me? What should i do? Ugh! They said i have to ask him out so i couldnt just go back inside.

He whispered into my ear, "I like your name Lilith. Its unique."

"Um thanks." I backed a little so he wasnt standing so close. "Hey would you like to go out some time?" I asked. I really didnt care if he rejected me. I would rather have him turn me down than to have to go out with some random stranger.

Owen stared at me as if trying to decided whether he wanted to or not. "Sure souns like fun. Here i'll give you my phone number. Its 2145679846" He wrote it down as well and handed me the piece of paper. "Text me when you want to get together. Now im sorry but i have to go. My little brother wants the whole basket full." He turned aroudn to make sure his brother was ok.

"Yeah no thats fine. I'll text you later. Bye. Good luck with the basket." I gave him one last smile before turning to close the door. Before i could slam the door, he gave me a hug. I stood stiff not wanting him to be touching me. I patted his back twice before getting out of his embrace.

"Bye Lilith." He waved goodbye and walked off to his little brother.

I sighed in relief once he was gone. Man all for a stupid game.

I closed the door and was attacked by Alisha and Mary smiling and giggling.

"Oh!! Lilith has a crush! Lilith Loves Owen. OWEN OWEN OWEEEEEN!!" Mary screamed in my ear.

"You two are crazy. It was a simple dare that is it." I crumbled the piece of paper up.

Before i could throw it away like i was planning to Alisha grabbed it from my hand. "Lilith you have to go on a date with him. So you have to keep the number." She handed me back the paper.

"Whatever." I put the paper in my pocket. Hoping i would "accidentally" lose it.


Ok sorry if this is all over the place. I kept getting interrupted by Ansa texting me. And then with her spamming me it took me a while. I also had to write this in a hurry because my cousin will be here any moment and im not even ready. The things i do for wattpad.
