Halloween Night At Sunset Creek
Halloween was approaching and I was dreading hanging out with my friends for the first time ever. Everyone at our school was talking about meeting up at the old creek behing the railroad tracks. Sunset Creek was always the talk of our town. There was a splendor of creepy stories in our small town about Sunset Creek. People disappearing, ghostly apparitions, and everything else in between that you can imagine. One thing for sure is that in my 6 years of living here I had not gone anywhere near that creek. It was our senior year and unfortunately, one of our high school's traditions was to take a trip to the creek on Halloween night. I was still contemplating if I would even go through with this tradition or fake a situation the night of. "Jonah!", my teacher called out my name for what might have been the 3rd time before I came to. "Huh?" I said, still in my daze of thinking about Halloween night. "Your homework, do you have it?" "Oh yea", I replied as I reached in to my bookbag to retrieve my homework. I stood up and walked to the teacher's desk to put my paper into the homework tray. The bell rang and we all shuffled our belongings to race out of the shcool. "Have a great weekend!" our teacher yelled, as we flew out the classroom door. I met up with my friends outside of the school and we all walked home. Terry & Steven were excited about the weekend's events. "Homecoming game tonight, & Sunset Creek tomorrow night I can't wait!!", Steven said. "Yea, me too!", Terry exclaimed. "You dont seem too excited, Jonah. What's up with you man?" Steven said. "Uhh, I don't know about tomorrow guys, I don't think I'll go." "Aww come on, it'll be fine!", Terry said. "I guess", I said as I walked up the steps of my house and waved goodbye to go in and get ready for the night's homecoming events.
