"Alright honey, we should be home around 10! We might be a bit late because of traffic though so don't worry!" My mom shouted over her shoulder as she wrapped her plaid scarf around her neck. "Okay mom" I yelled back from the couch, parents explain too much sometimes. Just because it's Halloween doesn't mean I'm nervous about being home alone while they are at Liam's football game. In fact, I was elated! A whole 3 hours alone, watching spooky movies with a huge bowl of m&ms and popcorn!
I heard the door slam as she and dad exited the house, then flicked on the first movie and settled in for the night.
