The opposite me

The house

A sign saying Brook street past me. I looked for a house number that said 118.

'110, 115, 117... there it is,' I say in my head looking at a big house.

I look at the house In shock. It was one of the biggest houses I've ever seen...

I head to the door and see a door bell. I pressed on the door bell and I could here a "ding ding" sound coming inside the house.

"Mum there's a beggar at the door," a voice said, it came from this odd looking speaker.

"Oh, it's just Paloma," a familiar voice said.

The door opens and I could see Venessa and Julia.

"Hi Paloma," Julia said.

"Sup," Venessa said.

"come in," Julia says to me as she does the "come" signal.

"Don't forget to take of your shoes." Venessa says to me in a mean way.

I took of my shoes and entered the house.

"Hi, you must be Paloma, I'm Julia's mum," she says to me kindly. "where's your mum?"

"At home," I say to her.

"Didn't she drop you here?" Venessa says, looking a little surprised.

I shake my head saying, "I Walked here..."

I wasn't sure what they we're going to say to me.

"Wow, you really are poor, and here I thought you were joking," Venessa says in a not-so-nice way.

I stand there Blankly with nothing to say. I wasn't really sure what to say for that.

"Paloma, Vanessa come," Julia says to us.

We walked toward the stair case. I look up to see how tall they were, pretty tall. I look at Venessa who is looking at me like I've done something wrong.

"are you going to come up or what?" Venessa says meanly again.

I don't know what's wrong with that girl? She seems so different to Julia. I look at her, then look back at the stairs and walk upstairs. Upstairs was amazing. it was really colourful. We walk into Julia's room. I had never seen so many posters in one room. I look around looking shocked.

"Like my anime posters?" Julia says seeing how shocked I was. "Do you want me to help you with your stuff?"

"I Only have this," I show them the tooth paste and both of them were shocked.

"That's all you have?" What about your PJ's? What about your hair brush?" Venessa says.

I shake my head.

"But you have tooth past, wouldn't you have a tooth brush?" Julia says to me.

"I don't have one," I say going a little quiet.

"Anyway, follow me. we're gonna have some spooky fun." Julia says.

I was a little confused when she said 'spooky.' I could see Venessa was looking at me.

"Do you know what today is?" She says to me.

"No... what is it?" I say looking confused.

"It's October 31st," she replies to me.

I didn't know what was surprising about that? And by the looks of things Venessa could tell that I forgot.

"it's Halloween... ring a bell?" she says to me.

I stand there thinking. 'what was Halloween again?'

"it's when people go out and eat candy and tell scary stories," Venessa say to me.

"Oh that," I say remembering Halloween. When it was Halloween my mum and I would see so many people walking by. They would all dress up looking scary and sometimes ask 'trick or treat' to us. My mum and I didn't know what that meant so we just stood there not saying anything.

"Hello? Earth to Paloma?" Venessa says to me.

"What happened?" Julia says.

"Oh, I just had a flash back..." I say.

"Ok? Julia are you gonna take us there or what?" Venessa says.

"yep. Follow me,"
