Halloween

October 23rd

Laurie was just another pretty petite girl who went to the local Highschool in town she had it all,good looks,good friends who were considered popular and Great grades and a somewhat decent love life or love interests for a girl her age but one thing she didn't have like everybody else was a family a real family.She always knew she was adopted and thanked her family for giving her the best upbringing and then some,but one thing she always wondered was what ever happened to her real family her real birth parents,she doesn't remember too much about them but she's thankful that if they were bad people or knew they couldn't care for her when she was a infant that they decided to give her up to a family who would give her all the love that a daughter deserves.It was last period when Laurie was getting ready to head out the door to go meet with Kate who's  been stressed lately due to her fathers nonstop working and her mother nagging and bad mouthing of her dad doesn't make her wanna go home at all but the little after school walks with Laurie helps her talk to someone and most importantly someone who cares.
Laurie was walking to her locker when Gregory,(who was the captain of the football team at the time) had approached her.
"Hey there Laurie you looking beautiful as ever today,I like your skirt"
She slammed her locker closed and looked at Gregory in disgust.
"First off Gregory don't look at my skirt and second of all what do you want?,shouldn't you be at a game or something costing our team a win like always"
As Laurie headed out to go outside Gregory followed.
"Ha I see you got jokes you pretty and funny,look I just wanted to see what was you doing on Halloween maybe we can hang out"
"I don't think so the last time we hung out it was a night full of dry jokes and corny pick up lines"
"Okay okay look...just think about it? Okay? I'll stop with all the dumb stuff and maybe we can really get to know each other I don't want you to see me as another lame"
"Too late for that don't you think"  a voice shouted out.
It was Kate,walking up to them to see what they were talking about.
Greg looked unpleasant watching Kate walk up to them.
"Hello Katie,I haven't heard from you in forever"
"Cut the bullshit bench warmer,look Laurie  are you ready to go cmon I gotta go see my dad today"
"Yeah I'm ready and Gregory I appreciate what you said but I'll still have to think about it,you can call me later and we can talk about it"
"Great that's perfect have a good day,you too Katie"
Katie rolled her eyes at Gregory trying to be nice which seemed like a first time,maybe he was trying that hard to impress Laurie to even be nice to her friends to prove he was serious about her.
"Up yours bench warmer" Katie said.
Her and Laurie started to walk off with Laurie in disbelief how Katie was acting.
"Katie why where you being so mean to Gregory more than usual?,what's going on?"
"Laurie that guy is no good for you,he thinks he's a jock but got the height of a sophomore and he can't score or run to a touchdown even if his life was on the line plus he's a loser why would you want that?"
Laurie laughed at the description that Katie had gave Gregory even though a little of it was true,Laurie felt that he has been trying to make a good impression on her.
"well I think he's doing just fine to impress me but I still gotta show a little tough love"
"or even better you should show him no love"
Laurie had rolled her eyes at Katie,she couldn't believe how over exaggerating she was being.As the girls were walking by a few blocks they had bumped into Johnny who must have bunked school earlier that day cause the girls didn't see him after lunch at all.
"Hey Johnny!"
Laurie shouted from across the street,Johnny had a little smile on his face of excitement and joy,Johnny and Laurie have been best friends ever since they were little,his mom use to babysit Laurie when her folks would go out for their dates or vacations,they have a strong brother and sister bond.Johnny came running across the street to get them hoping he doesn't get hit by a car for not looking both ways first.
"Laurie!" Johnny said with excitement.
He gave Laurie a big bear hug almost knocking her over by accident as Katie watched their little greet.
"Hey Johnny I heard what happened to your mask I'm sorry it got robbed" Katie said with a little pleasure,knowing the awkward brought up about the mask would ruin the mood a little.
"It's all cool cause I know it's not gonna happen again"
"Did you already find a new mask?" Laurie asked.
"No but I'm packing now",Johnny then put down his bookpag and opened it to shows the girls what appeared to be a handgun.
"Is that a gun?" Katie asked in disbelief.
"It sure is now I want somebody else to try to rob me again"
"Johnny are you crazy? It was just a mask a cheap mask that gun cost more than that mask!" Laurie said with anger.
"I got the deals,plus with all these killings that's been going on lately in the town,we gotta be prepared"
"That's why we got my dad and the other officers for you fool" Katie said.
"Well princess where is your dad now?"
"Really Johnny you wanna take it there? My dad could've died you dumbass!"
"Guys no stop it don't start this,Johnny you're wrong for saying that and Katie you're wrong for being a smart ass,friends?"
"For now sure" Johnny said.
As they were all continuing their walk with Johnny now joining them a strange car was slowly riding by them as they were walking.
"Who's that? Is that someone from school?" Katie asked.
"I don't think so I never seen that car at school before" Laurie said.
"Maybe its a pervert or something" Johnny said.
"Hey!,me and her are lesbians!" Katie shouted to the car hoping it would drive the creep away.
"Katie! stop it don't say that" Laurie said.
The car was black and they could Hardly see who was driving the car.The car had sped off back into regular gear and went down the street.
"Told you it would work" Katie said.
"Oh shut up" Laurie said.
Laurie has noticed that Johnny's walk became slower and his face of excitement became a face of confusion and Disturbia.
"What's wrong Johnny?" Laurie asked.
"His hands did you see his hands?" Johnny said.
"Oh yeah cause we got 20/20 vision like you oh bravo Johnny" Katie said.
"He looked familiar that's all" Johnny said.
"Must be to you cause we could hardly see anything of him" Laurie said.
"Yeah...yeah maybe it is just me?"
