The House on Hook Street

Chapter 1

In the theme of Halloween, I'm throwing a birthday party at my house. I'm so excited. I'm inviting all my best friends. I'm making the invitations. The background is a dark grey, and in red letters says, "Costume party at my house. Bring this to get in!" I've been planning this party for weeks. I've never been so excited!!!

"Birthday party at my house tonight! Dress up in costumes. Bring this invitation to get in." I go around my high school passing out my invitations to all my closest friends. "Hey Val! What's that your holding?" Asks my best friend Jewls. "Well, I'm having a birthday party tonight and I'm passing out the invitations. Before I forget, here." I hand her the card. Presents arnt mandatory, but are always appreciated. I go on passing out the rest of the cards.

I rush home as quick as I can to start setting up the party. I slap on bloody-hand posters on the walls, I line the ceiling trims with red lights, I dim all the ceiling light bulbs to make it spooky, and I set up the snack tables.

One snack table has has three big glass bowls. I fill them with a mixture of vanilla ice cream, one litter bottle of sprite, and fruit punch. I even put gummy fingers in the punch so people can eat them out of their drinks. Then I place stacks of black and red solo cups on the table.

On another snack table, I place 4 large black bowls with pretzels, popcorn, potatoe chips, and gummy body parts. Then I place stacks of plastic black bowls for the food.

For the main food, my dad owns a pizza place, so I had him make three large pizzas in the theme of Halloween. Black food coloring with the dough made a black crust. Then the red sauce went on top of the pizza with white cheese. My dad carved ham to look like noses, linked sausages for fingers, and olives for eye balls. Sounds gross, but it will be delicious.

I sent my parents to there room for the night so they're not in the way. As I set up the music, I hear the door bell. "My first guest is here!" I race to the door and greet her. "Hey Jewls! Come on in!"

She's wearing all black and used eyeliner to draw a cat nose with whiskers on her nose. I'm wearing and orange shirt with black tiger stripes on it. Then I put on some black leggings with a tiger tail and black shoes. And for extra, I put on orange gloves and hot glued fake, black nails on the finger tips to look like claws.

"Love your costume Val! Where did you get it?" "No where, I made it. I love yours too!" "Thanks, so where should I put your gift?" "You can place it on the coffee table in the living room. Just take a seat til everyone else arrives. If you get thirsty, just get some punch over there on that drink table."

Everyone else arrives dressed up like animals. They bring presents and happy attitudes. I'm so excited to get this party started!

"Can I have everyone's attention, please? I have a couple games set up: pin the eyes on the demon, taste the body part, and truth or dare. After the games, we'll eat some pizza and dance. Then, we will have cake and I'll open the present. Then finally, we'll watch a series of scary movies and go to sleep. Let's get started!"Everyone claps and cheers.
