Meeting Him Again.

" In this game, you'll be given people to find, and before thirty minutes is over, you must find them.

"There will be no light, and only the top three, will be recognized as winners, so how many people do you recognize here?" He asked us, and I felt a sick feeling in my stomach.

"Lots, can't count." One girl said.

"Like more than sixteen?" Another said.

"Um…" I counted Chris, Mera, Val, Sam, Mike, Peter, Drake and maybe Whitney.

"Eight." I said.

"Can't count." another girl said.

" I'm pretty popular, I know most of the girls here." a guy said.

" Perhaps three?"

"Some people, not much."

"Lots and lots of people."

" All my classmates."

"Just one."

"Just one?" The Host repeated.

"Good luck finding that one person. Okay guys, you have to find two out of those people you know, except for the young lady here who knows just one.

"So if you can find two people or more, You signal by saying 'Found', and those people you found, will have to give you something."

"Ooooh!"

The crowd cheered.

" Now start!"

All the lights went off.

Okay, if I can remember where I saw Mike or Sam…

Or Chris? Though, Chris was around the lower seats on my far right.

Mike was on my right around the top seats and Sam… sam, sam was row… row… row… row 4!

I bounded up the stairs, counting each row.

" Excuse me, please, excuse me!"

" Hey, Chris, she's coming for you." Someone said, and I started touching the guys heads frantically, and they all started laughing.

"Chris isn't even here, baby." a guy said, and they all started laughing.

Amidst the laughter, I felt I heard sam's.

Wait, how was I to identify him in the dark… I never touched him, so I didn't know how he felt.

"Sorry." I said as I touched a guy's head, felt his hair, face and clothes.

I moved on doing the same for the other guys, apologizing.

Wasn't there any girl on this side of the arc?

All of a sudden, I tripped, fell flat at people's feet, and they laughed more than ever, I immediately stood up.

What if they turned on the lights?

"Ow! Who poked my butt?" A girl from the far right on the row above me said.

" Hey everyone, no butt poking." The host said.

" You have less than 20 minutes left, fellas."

Oh, I couldn't bear to lose.

I kept on walking, touching people's heads, and climbing the stairs.

About five minutes later, a girl screamed in delight.

" Prey found!" She said.

" That's the first! Drag he or she down here, " the host said.

"Oh come down here boy." She said happily.

I climbed rows and rows.

" Val…I can easily find her large pizza costume…" I said to myself and started touching people's costumes, but minutes later, I gave up somewhere along the far right.

"Okay, I'm on the far right, and I know I saw Chris somewhere here." I said, trying to encourage myself.

" Chris?" A girl repeated.

" Yeah." I replied.

"Two minutes more, babies." The host announced.

Two minutes??

"Two minutes!"

I heard some other people panicking and a lot of laughter from the other side of the hall.

I started searching carefully, but when I reached the third boy, searching his face, hair, and clothes…

"Time up!"

The lights came on immediately, and I was looking straight into Chris'eyes!

"Aaaah!" I screamed because I had been so foolish.

I had touched his hair, clothes, glasses, why didn't I guess?

" Awn, the lady in red there almost had a chance, but unfortunately, she couldn't recognize her cousin." The Host said, and I looked back.

How did they know he was my cousin???

Wow. News in Archville sure traveled fast.

They gave us cold drinks for trying the game out, and the only girl who won, got a golden wristwatch from the first boy, a necklace from the second, and we returned to our seats.

Next, they announced the dance competition, and I sat back to enjoy it.

The first group did a kind of ballet dance in which they all wore white tutus.

Then a guy in all black came to seduce the main lead with his moves, and the girl fell in love with him.

But eventually, it turned out he was a vampire that came to suck her blood.

They did incredible moves, twisting and turning their bodies in ways I could never imagine turning my body in.

The second group wore black, ripped jeans, jackets and scary masks.

Just one girl wore a long black, seductive skirt which was slit from her upper thigh, and her black top actually seemed like a scarf round her chest. Then she finished her outfit with a fox mask.

They danced this kind of fast dance that got people off their seats to video their moves.

Then when the music became stronger. They danced like monsters, in which some hung their arms in weird positions, some sat and put their legs on their shoulders, some did the back bend and walked around…

All of them were shaking vigorously like zombies, and everyone screamed in excitement, then the girl in black came touching them one by one, while swaying her hips seductively to the rhythm.

As she touched them, they became normal and not long, a girl in white came along the scene, and they all danced around her.

At first, the girl in white didn't want to dance, but later she started dancing and while she was engrossed in dancing, they all turned into monsters and pounced on her!

When they left her, she was bathed in red.

It seemed like they ate her!

Thereafter, the lady in black came and started touching them, as she touched them, they fell lifeless on the floor in a creepy way.

The girl danced a kind of spooky dance, and with the last beat, she slumped on the floor, leading to loud applause.

I clapped hard, too.

"Wow! That was some dance we got there!" The host said, and after some minutes, silence fell in the hall.

" All in favor of team one, hands up."

Lots of hands reached towards the ceiling.

They were much, I felt the first team was going to win.

"All in favor of team two?" He asked, and I raised my hand along with others. It was then I saw that Oh! Team two was going to win, the hands were too much!

" And Team Two, takes the day!"

Screaming filled the hall to the extent I had to put my hands over my ears, then they gave them a medal and the singing competition started.

The first was a slow, boring song about the girl finding love on Halloween, and the choir had boring voices…

It was a blue song, yeah I loved blues, but on a night like this? Come on, they shouldn't make the audience sleep! They could do better!

The second song started with a rock beat, and people started screaming in excitement.

It was about a guy who walked into the streets, and famous Halloween characters were roaming around.

The chorus was…

"And I saw Chucky cookin' slicing meat that was screamin'

And Dracula for vampire's blood he was pumpin'

And Hannibal lecter was eatin'

And the whole street was runnin'

And then they came for me

Oh it was Halloween

The worst ever seen

Yeah it was Halloween

That scared I've never been

Hallow!"

I liked the song.

And, yeah, it won, and they got their Halloween medal as well.

The next was the spooky story and the lights were turned off.

The host spoke with his mic in a gentle voice.

We couldn't see a thing, we could only hear.

And he started, his story.

At first, I wondered why the girls were gasping.

Okay, it was creepy, but not to the extent of me showing my fear.

"And she said 'Hello, hello please something is in here with me…' and the phone got disconnected and something broke something, she jumped and then, watch your back ladies…"

For some reason, I turned back.

" And then she heard something breathing rapidly on her neck. So scared, she turned, breathing heavily (His voice was getting louder.) with her heart rate unsteady, she gazed into the eyes of the bloody NUN!" He said and suddenly the light came on, on only the large picture of the nun, and it was all we could see.

" Aaaaaaaah." I screamed with countless girls, and some shameless boys.

"Okay that was startling, it caught me off guard." I said. The lights went off again and I wished they didn't have to turn it off.

" And then she ran! Before the nun could grab her, she went panting, her hair flying in her face, sweat pouring over from every direction and the nun appeared in front of her holding her with her scabby hands!"

" Oh, please stop it!" A girl screamed and some guys laughed.

The lights came on.

"Sir, they're they're doing stuff behind me, and it's scaring me, they're saying the nun will come get me." the girl said in a frightened way, and almost everyone laughed.

The host cautioned the boys and the lights went off again.

"She was taken into a dark place underground where other nuns were coming in for the kill and large spiders…"

"Please, excuse me…" I said, making my way out of the arc of seats.

After the long arc, I ran out to the toilet.

I looked at myself in the mirror, and smoothed my hair.

"Yeah, that story was spooky, and I don't want to dream about it." I said to my reflection, and decided to wait in the toilet until their stupid not-scary story was over.

It was then I spotted the hem of my Mina dress, there were footprints on it.

Dirty footprints.

That happened when those girls pushed me in the hall because they were chasing a guy I never got to see.

I raised it up, into the sink and started to clean it off, then I looked in the mirror and faked a guy's voice.

" Pris, you're beautiful."

I laughed and said in a girly voice.

" Why, thank you, Chris?"

"Would you be my girlfriend?" I said, still in that same bold guy voice.

" Why not Sam?" In a girly voice.

" I discovered I love you." Guy voice.

"Really? I'm flattered Mike." Girly voice.

" I'm jealous of the way other guys roam around you." Guy voice.

" I'm sorry, I'll make it up to you, Peter." Girly voice.

" Can we be more than friends?" Guy Voice.

"Oh Drake, I would have loved to, but I'm in a relationship." I said and chuckled to myself.

"You didn't tell me you were that jobless." Someone said, emerging from the door.

It was sam!

I turned around immediately

"Oh oh… I… I… No, it was… forget it please!" I stammered, and ran out the door, but not before I heard him laugh.

Aaaaaaaah! Sam heard me saying those stuffs.

He's never going to forget it!

What if it was Chris?

No peter?

Aaaaah!

I entered the hall because, that was the only way to avoid sam after my embarrassment.

The lights were on.

" Phew!"

" Oh, there she is! Our Queen Halloween!" The host said, and everyone started clapping.

I joined in the clapping, and started to look around for Queen Halloween to see what she looked like, only to discover everyone was looking at me!

" Priscilla Davids! Come, come, come up here."

I stood frozen on the spot, amazed.

" She was the only one who chose the lovely outfit of Mina! The wife of Dracula!"

More applause.

" And it so happened that the dress is so fabulous, and is the only match for our Dracula here!"

Wow, so someone had decided to be Dracula.

I walked up gingerly with all eyes on me, and subconsciously tried to smoothen my hair.

I walked to the stage, and stood next to the guy, looking at my shoes and his shoes.

" These two are hereby crowned King and Queen Halloween! Please sit on this chair." he said, and I sat on Queen Halloween's chair.

He put the giant skull on my head, and it instantly sank, covering my eyes, then he adjusted it for me.

I still couldn't look up… it was still shocking to me.

How could I be Queen Halloween?

Oh, over three hundred people were staring at me.

" Now these two will share a bracelet that cannot be removed except with the help of its key.

"The sweetest part is, the King's key will be kept by the Queen, and the Queen's key will be kept by the King."

"Awwwwwwwn!" Most of the girls cooed and screamed.

"And at last, they'll be having a romantic dinner alone, in the inner chambers… while we enjoy ours here!"

The students cheered, then someone came and put the bracelet on my hand.

It wrote 'FRED GOLDSTEIN'

Fred?

I don't really have affection for that name.

He locked it with the key and gave it to the guy next to me, and I saw on the bracelet on his hand 'PRISCILLA DAVIDS'

Awwwwwn!

Although, I wondered how they had the time to inscribe our names on it.

I watched them as they locked his and gave me the key.

The bracelet was simply beautiful, it looked like it was made of twisting ice chains, each letter of our names was inscribed on icy hearts, and two chains dangled from it.

" Please arise, King and Queen Halloween." the man said, and added. "Face each other, smile and say 'Finally I have found you' in turns, starting with the Queen."

Ah… if only this was Chris or Peter!

Maybe we would kiss on stage. I thought and smiled.

Then I moved, and accidentally stepped on the boy's shoe.

"Ow." he said flatly.

"Oh I'm so sorry!" I said and looked up into blazing green eyes.

If beauty was a person, then it'd be him.

I was shocked to be staring once again at GREEN-EYED BOY!

The one I had been looking for.
