A heap of faith, my love

Chap 2: Trick or Treat, Freak

Amelia's POV :
(Edited)

My mom takes loads and loads of picture of me in my 'Dream Ghost' costume.

I blow a kiss at the camera, "Okay, mom, that enough" I protest after probably the a millionth picture now.

"Fine, just one more," she smiles and conitinues with her camera.

I groan loudly.

.

Me, Lucas, Dustin and Mike all sing 'Ghostbusters' loudly while biking our way to school.

"Who you gonna call?!"
"Ghostbusters!" Will, who is behind us, finishes our sing song.

"Hey, Spengler!"
"Egon! Yeah!"
"Venkman!"

Will and Lucas give eachother a big hug.

"Whoa! Whoa!" Mike stops Lucas and looks at his outfit.

"What?" Lucas looks at him in confusion.

"Why are you Venkman?"
"Because I'm Venkman"
"No, I'm Venkman" Mike points at himself.

"Why can't there just be two Venkmans?" Will asks the two boys.

"Because there's only one Venkman in real life. We planned this months ago. I'm Venkman" he points to himself once more, "Dustin's Stantz" he pointed to Dustin, "You're Egon" he pints at Will, "You're dream ghost" he motions at me. I wanted to be dream ghost to look like a magical mystique, it didn't quite turn out like that, but I'm going to pretend it did, "and you're Winston" Mike finishes, pointing at Lucas.

"I specifically didn't agree to Winston"
"Yes, you did!"

"Uh, I'm pretty sure he didn't" I remind Mike, wanting to cause more drama.

"No one wants to be Winston, man"

"What's wrong with Winston?"

"What's wrong with Winston? He joined the team super late, he's not funny, and he's not even a scientist" Lucas names lots of facts.

"Yeah, but he's still cool" Mike tries to convince Lucas

"If he's so cool, then you be Winston"

"I can't!"
"Why not?"

Mike stutters, "Because..."
"Be-be-because you're not black?" Lucas mocks Mikes stuttering.

"I didn't say that!"
"You thought it"

"Yeah, but, I didn't say that!" Mike continues arguing with Lucas

"Guys!" We hear Dustin shout at us.

I look at where he's looking, at all the kids coming out of the school bus. But none of them are wearing a Halloween costume. Oh, shit.

"Why is no one else wearing costumes?"

The school bell rings behind us.

"Crap"

The five of us walk down the corridor.

Everyone's eyes on us, giggling.

I hate this so much.

"When do people make these decisions?" Dustin asks.

"Everyone dressed up last year" Will says quietly.

"It's a conspiracy, I'm telling you"
"Just be cool"

Some random boy shouts from somewhere, "Who you gonna call?"
"The nerds!"

Me, Lucas and Dustin are at the lockers when we see Max skate down the hallway to her locker.
