Deep Secrets

Chapter 1

Halloween is my favorite holiday. A day where everyone dresses up no matter how old they are, or how ridiculous they look. It's the best time of year to just be yourself. Aside from dressing up and getting candy, the haunted houses are my favorite part.

October 31st is coming up and my best friend and I are super excited. The only problem is my mom is beginning to think I'm to old to go trick-or-treating. She thinks that 17 is too old to go out with your friends and get candy or as she sees it staying out until midnight, taking candy from innocent people for nothing in return. Meanwhile she wants me to stay at home giving out candy while my friends go to all the richest neighborhoods getting king sized candy bars and going through the occasional haunted house. I guess my mom is right, 17 is a little too old for getting candy, but if I took my baby sister along it wouldn't matter. I asked my mom if I could take her along with us, but she said no, so i I told Mira, my best friend I can't go and she said she'd just hand out candy with me, but her other friends convinced her to go. I'm beginning to think they don't like me very much though. I'm a girl who doesn't care what other people think, I'm not all about clothes and shoes and nail polish, and I'm a girl who's not afraid to get muddy and they don't like me for that. Mira's one of those girls that has a good taste in fashion. She's always wearing the newest clothes and I suppose that's how she became friends with those girls. They're the type of girls who judge others on what they wear and honestly I don't understand why Mira even likes them.

Victoria the leader of their "pact" has hated me ever since first grade. No matter how much she deserved it she still holds a grudge. We're Juniors and I still get evil glares because of what I did. Mira was new in 6th grade so when she first became friends with them she asked me why we didn't get along. Victoria was of course eavesdropping and loudly piped in.

" It's because she put a worm down the back of my coat when I had done nothing wrong" she said in that innocent sweet voice as she smirked at me when she noticed that Mira was starting to believe her. When Victoria had gotten far enough away from earshot I told Mira the real story, and told her that Victoria, miss perfect, really had deserved it. But even Victoria has to have someone to look up to, that person being Amanda Kraft
