This was for the TCH Halloween writing contest but I had to put a copy of it in here, too! Happy Halloween!
Spoiler
I bet I know what you are thinking. How could I be on a date with Matt Harper? Well, there is a simple answer to that. I am on a double date with my brother, Brian, my best friend, Megan, and us.
Here is how it happened. Megan and I had gotten together with our guys on the camping trip. You see, I had almost died, which is how Matt realized he did love me, too. He admitted it while we were at the hospital afterwards.
Anyway, we had decided to go to the movies on our double date, which is why we are here now. Brian and Megan sat side by side sharing a medium sized box of popcorn. Megan was sipping a small diet soda. Brian had also got himself a bag of beef jerky and bag of Goobers. I was munching on my popcorn and sipping my own diet soda.
The movie itself was a zombie movie which Meg and I let the guys choose since its Halloween season.
I finished snacking first and drifted off to sleep slightly as the movie continued….
I was stunned as a zombie headed toward me craving my brains. I screamed as I whirled around and took off running. I raced toward the mall and inside where a group of other teens from the high school were waiting. I saw Megan first, so I ran to her.
“Took you long enough.” Megan snapped at me, angrily. “You could have gotten any of us caught and eaten.” She sighed and then stomped off.
I was in shock after hearing this. I then glanced to Matt and asked, “What’s with her? I’m suppose to be her best friend.”
Matt shot me a shocked look. “You don’t remember?” He saw me shake my head in reply, so he added, “Your recklessness is what got both Brian and Zack killed. They are both dead.”
“What?!” I exclaimed as fresh tears filled my eyes. “Oh God!” I really felt guilty just then. Yes, I was adopted by Brian’s dad, but it did not make Brian any less my brother. Before he adopted me, Brian was my stepbrother. I began to walk off a little to try and calm myself down, while Meg was doing the same.
Next thing I know, I hear her scream for help and then out of pain. I run to her just as she is being attacked by four zombies. I grabbed a rifle and began shooting them, but not before they manage to bite and kill her. Because she was bit in the throat, she quickly transforms in front of my eyes and then begins to attack me, too.
“No!!!” I screamed as I woke up. I could feel all eyes on me. By now, the movie has ended and only a handful of movie watchers are still in the theater. I sighed and mutter, “Please tell me I did not just embarrass us all like that.”
Megan shot me a sympathetic look and said, “I’m afraid you did.” She grabbed my left arm while Matt grabbed my right. They then pulled me to my feet, and we left the theater. We headed home for the night.
