Cassidy POV 

"I just thought of the greatest idea ever!!! We should all go to a Halloween party, and go in haunted houses!!!! After all, it is Halloween?" It is 11:45am, and I am sitting with Adrian, Genevieve, Levi, Baden, Caden, Logan, Sam, Naima, and Dai. We are in the cafeteria eating lunch, Cameron, Taylor, Carson, and Daniel stopped hanging out with us ever since Daniel started dating my sister......... Ugh!! (Barf)

"That would be like the greatest idea ever!!" Dai exclaims. I honestly think that Dai and Baden would be the greatest couple ever! Adrian, Genevieve, and I have been busy making lots of new friends.

"How 'bout you guys? Do you guys wanna come and get our scare on!?" Baden asks again. He is like the gamer geek/class clown of the school.

"Sounds great!" Naima shouts. Jumping up and down, she is the perky, out-going girl. We all agree to go.

"So who's driving?" I ask puzzled.

"Well, doesn't your mom have a van?" Caden requests.

"Yeah, but it only seats eight people."

"Well, we can fit in each other's laps, can't we?" Levi asks staring at me, and wiggling his eyebrows up and down. Everyone starts cracking up.

"That's a great idea!!" Adrian shouts copying Levi.

"Looks like someone's jealous!" Logan says looking straight at Adrian. Adrian starts blushing and looks away from me.

"Ok then, I will drive my mom's minivan." I say ignoring Logan's smart-ass remark.

The bell rings, time for fifth period.

*Time lapse: 6 hours*

6:30pm
Time to meet my friends. "Bye mom!! I'm going to some haunted houses, and I'm gonna be hanging with my friends! We are using the minivan!" I tell my mom walking out of her room, grabbing her keys.

"Bye sweetie! Make sure to be home by midnight!!" She is taking a shower, so her voice barely echoes. Then she says something that I wish I could ignore......

"Take your sister with you!" Ugh!!! Why am I in charge of my little sister, this is supposed to be a friend thing, not a family thing.

I barge out of my moms room and yell for Violet.

"Coming!" Violet yells stomping down the stairs. She is dressed in a long ripped gown, her face is painted white, and she has knotted hair. I am guessing that she is like a zombie bride or something. I am dressed in something more simple, I am the dressed as the Where's Waldo guy, except in girl form. All ten of us are all dressing as Where's Waldo. It's gonna be pretty interesting.

I hop into the minivan. Violet hops into the passenger seat, and we head down to Helden's creek park. That's where we decided to meet each other.

"Umm..... Cassidy?"

"Yes?" I reply courteously.

"I was thinking that maybe you could drop me off at Daniel's house?" She begs politely twiddling her fingers.

"I thought you'd never leave!!!!Of course, I'll drop you off at Daniel's!!! But you absolutely have to be ready for me to pick you up by 11:50pm." I leave it at that, and I drive by Daniel's house and drop Violet off.
----------------------------------------------------
I finally arrive at Helden's Creek Park. "Hey!" Adrian yells running over to me. He grabs my hand and pulls me over to where the group is, and tells them that we should get going. Then we all run towards the minivan.

Genevieve wants to drive, so I let her since she desperately wanted to drive. I made sure that Dai got to sit on Baden's lap, then Naima sat on Logan's lap, Caden sat on Sam's lap, and I chose to sit on Adrian's lap because I am kind of scared to sit on Levi's lap, I'm not sure how he would act, so Levi sat shotgun. The drive was kind of awkward since everyone was sitting on each other's laps, but Dai and Baden seemed to hit it off!!

*Time lapse: 3 hours*

The past three hours have been filled with thrilling surprises!! We have probably been in like ten different haunted houses!!! They were so amazing!!

"So, does everybody have a ride home?" I ask making sure that no one is left behind. Everyone says yes, and I wait until everyone is gone........ I walk to my car and hear someone shout my name, I turn around and see Levi leaning against a tree coming his fingers through his hair.

"Hey!" I reply with a big smile on my face. He probably can't see it, but my cheeks are burning, I'm probably blushing. I am actually kind of glad that he stayed here, it's only like 9:30pm, and I don't have to be home till midnight.

He walks up to me and grabs my hand. Instead of walking towards the car, we start walking towards the creek.

"Have you ever been to the creek before?" Levi asks. The moon light reflects off of the water. It's so beautiful!! I get so caught up in the view that I forget Levi's question. I guess that he probably already knows my answer though.

He takes me to a little patch of grass closer to the creek, and we sit down.

We don't talk for the next few minutes. I look up at Levi, he is so cute! I love his hair, I don't know what he does to it, but it looks really good!! Then he looks back at me. I am so nervous. I decide to start talking. "So, um......" Before I can finish my sentence, he grabs me, and pulls me close. My face just centimeters away from his. "Yes?" He asks with a cocky smirk. He then closes the space between us, our lips meet! He grabs my back and pulls me closer........................
