It was Halloween. Children were crawling the streets wearing costumes. It was getting late and most of the houses had stop giving out candy. Alex's parents didn't let her trick or treat. She didn't mind though cause she don't care much for sweet things. She was in her room reading a book. Her parents were out of town for a party. Alex had her librarian glasses on with her black hair pulled back in a sloppy pony tail. Alex loved to read. She would she read all day if she could. After all the kids had cleared off the streets Alex decided to turn off all the lights and watch a scary movie in the living room. She made her some popcorn and sat down on the couch to pick a movie. But then she heard a knock on the door. All the trick or treaters have gone home she though as she ignored the knocking and continued to look for a movie. Around five minutes later she heard a knock on the screen door by the backyard. She was tired of hearing the knocking so she grabbed her phone and called the cops. They told her to make sure all the doors and windows are locked, stay on the phone with them and hide. She decided to hide in the attic which was just above her room. She ran to her room, went in her closet, and pulled down the string for the attic. After she got into the attic she told the police where she was. After that it went silent. Then she heard footsteps coming towards the attic. She heard the intruder open her closet the the attic. She was face down under a tarp. The footsteps got closer to her. The footsteps stopped right behind her. Then she heard a soft whisper, "Hello Alex." She pulled the tarp back to reveal a tall figure. She shined her phone light at the face. "James?" She said standing up. "I told you at school I was going to come over tonight," James said in his nasally voice. " Sorry," Alex said, "I must have not been listening." "It's okay," James replied. "So do you want to go watch that scary movie?" He asked. "Sure," Alex said bringing her phone to her ear. "It was just my friend," she said to the police then hung up. "You called the cops on me?" James asked laughing. They went downstairs into the living room and watched a scary movie.
