"Tell me later when I get to Rubys, okay."
I told Jamal on the phone as I walked into my house. Supposedly he's got a lead on Rollerworld and now Ruby's grandma is in it to. I know Rollerworld is true. I went to my room and started to change into my costume. I put on some makeup and left to go to Ruby's. I walked right in, Monse dressed as a lifeguard, Cesar was dressed as someone from Greece, Jamal, a injured person, and Ruby was dressed as a vampire.
"Hey guys!" I greeted everyone as I stepped in. Rubys eyes grew and pulled a pillow close to him.
"That looks nice." He mentioned.
"A witch, it suits you." Cesar laughs,
"At least I'm wearing something from my closet, not from my bedset." I told him. Cesar glanced at me. I got him. Ruby patted a seat next to him and I sat next to him. Olivia comes out and smiles.
"So, when are we going out?" She asked.
"Never. Trick-or-treating in Freeridge is a no-go." I told her as she sat on the arm of the couch.
"Why?" Ruby then sighs.
"I'll be brief. In 2012, Prophets rolled up on us. Glocks to our heads and snatched our bags. 2013 we were kissing pavement all night. Caught in a drive-by. That night, we lost our candy and perhaps our innocence." As Ruby was telling Olivia, I was texting Willy about that im at Ruby's, not worry and I'll text him when ill be at home. I was ignoring everything around me. "Scary movies, artisan pizza, and most of all, new experiences."
"You're right. We should go out. I'm feeling like this could be our last Halloween trick-or-treating. And frankly, it's feeling a little cramped in here. You feel me?" Monse said. I put away my phone and started to listen,
"I vote for Brentwood." Jamal threw out, looking at his phone. "It's safe, rich, and I bet they've got full-size candy bars." I nodded my grad Ruby.
"Shut-ins are tradition. And I ordered the pizza. Did I mention it's artisanal?" Ruby was freaking out, why though?
"Why can't we go somewhere else?"
"Brentwood." Jamal whispers,
"There's gotta be other places."
"Brentwood." Jamal kept saying.
"How about Brentwood?" I asked.
"I'm down. Good call, Val." Jamal smiled and I smiled back
