Almost Done with Halloween (Sorta)
Night...Ball...Lady...Person..., Age 14
High-school is often the time where people go through many awkward stages. I had already started my awkward stage back in grade 3, and had long ago decided that I wasn’t going to try to be “cool.” But even still, Halloween during my first few years at high school confused me. My trick’r'treatin’ years were done (my height made candy-givers suspect of my age), I’m not a party gal, and I wasn’t impressed with the costume scene at the school’s Halloween dances. I wore this…stuff…in grade 9, to a friend’s party, I think, then sadly hid away from Halloween for a few years, not showing my true love for the holiday until my last high school year when I finally went to class in full costume, and relished handing out candy to little kids (and scaring the odd one).
