ONE LITTLE HALLOWEEN ISSUE
In a far, far away town, there was a girl named Caroline.
She was walking in an empty street. It was middle of October and it was snowing. Except the noise of the cold wind, there was no sound. While Caroline was walking, she saw something shining brightly. She was a little curious. So, she went towards that light and she found out that the light was coming from a mirror, which was hidden in the snow. She tried her best to dig it up. After some painful work, the mirror was in her hands.“ The mirror must be old.” she said to herself. Then she remembered her mom who was waiting home for her. She took the mirror and started walking … She was late for home. Her mother was scared. When she saw Caroline she said“ Get ready for the lunch dear!” After Caroline changed her clothes, she took the mirror out and cleaned it gently.“ Caroline, lunch is ready!” Her mom shouted.“ Ok, mom!” Caroline left the mirror on her bed and then rushed through the stairs, straight to the kitchen. Caroline was only 13 years old. She had blue eyes and blonde hair. She was pretty, friendly and smart. As I said before, she was a little curious. She had so many friends, but her best friend was Bonnie. Bonnie was brunette. Both Bonnie and Caroline was not too short, or not too tall. Bonnie was also friendly, kind and sensitive. It was morning, 7 o’ clock. Caroline woke up by the alarm noise coming from her clock. She dressed, she brushed her teeth, she made her breakfast, finally she wore her shoes and she jumped into the bus and went to school. When she met Bonnie she told everything about the mirror to her.“ I didn’ t like this mirror. It is ugly.” said Bonnie. However, Caroline replied:“ I just loved it!” Later that day, Caroline arrived home. She again left the mirror on her bed. She went downstairs to finish her homework. While she was doing her homework, a strange noise came from her bedroom. She went nervously into her room. She came closer to the mirror. There was nothing strange … The days passed by. It was near Halloween. Caroline was still in a wonderment. She was sure the peculiar noise came from the mirror. But for one and a half weeks, the mirror didn’ t make any noise. Thus, Caroline decided to forget what happened one and a half weeks ago. Caroline checked her messages. She found out that, her other friend Elena( She had freckles all around her cheeks.), had organized a party. A Halloween party. Bonnie had a boyfriend. She said“ I am going to the party with my boyfriend.” Caroline needed a partner.“ Caroline! Did you hear about the guy who registered our school. He is so hot. Everybody is talking about him. I’ d like him to come to the party with me!” said Elena.“ I invited him too.” She added.“ Do you have a partner?” she was talking endlessly.“ No, I don’ t.” said Caroline.“ Poor Caroline.” a sarcastic expression appeared on Elena’ s face.“ See you next class.” she said.“ Bye.” said Caroline while waving her hand and thinking about the new guy. The next day, Caroline arrived class. She sat next to Bonnie, where she usually sits. After a minute or two Caroline noticed Bonnie was grinning at her like a Cheshire Cat.“ What?” said Caroline.“ Klaus is staring at you.” said Bonnie.“ Who is Klaus?” Caroline also started grinning.“ The new guy.” Bonnie realized that Caroline’ s cheeks were red. After the bell, Caroline saw Klaus walking towards her.“ Hi, I’ m Klaus.” He smiled to Caroline.“ I’ m Caroline.” She felt her heart thumping like crazy.“ I heard that Elena is having a party, so I need a partner, want to come with me?” he smiled even bigger. Caroline hesitated.“ Ok. I’ ll come with you.” On the day of the party, Caroline was having problems with what to wear. As a result, she decided to wear the T-shirt which Harley Quinn wears.“ Daddy’ s Lil’ Monster” she said to herself and smiled. She was ready. Everyone was excited for the party. Around noon Caroline wore her shirt and put on makeup, which was pink and blue, like Harley Quinn does. She drew a heart to her left cheek and she tied her hairs from two sides of her head. She went downstairs and she got in the car. When she arrived to the party, she started waiting for Klaus. Klaus arrived. He smiled gently and he grabbed Caroline’ s hand. Caroline could feel the butterflies in her stomach. She took a deep breath. They went inside. Inside of the party was great. Foods, decorations, music … She met Elena and said“ Elena! I wasn’ t expecting this much!” said Caroline.“ Thanks!” Said Elena while having a hug to Caroline. After that Bonnie arrived. She was happy also she was wearing a witch costume.“ Loved your all of your costumes.” she said. Elena was a vampire.“ As we do!” Said both.“ Oh my! My favorite song.” Said Bonnie. She pushed Caroline to the dance floor. They started dancing.“ Ah!” Elena yelled. The electricity was gone. It was all dark. After a minute generators started working.“ What happened mom?” asked Elena’ s mom.“ It may seem extraordinary, but nothing. Nothing happened.” said Elena’ s mom.“ Ok. Don’ t
