791 V3 ch26 (Halloween/Birthday Party)

Noah didn't sleep well that night. And thanks to him, neither did I. He fidgeted back and forth, occasionally mumbling something about the A's. The both of us woke up Thursday morning with dark circles under our eyes and moved sluggishly. 

"Did you boys stay up all night?" Mom asked at the breakfast table. 

I shook my head, but stopped because it made me dizzy. 

Noah spoke up. "Not intentionally. Just restless knowing that the A's won the series." He grinned and pointed at the A's shirt he was wearing. "I bet everyone is wearing A's gear today."

"Or costumes because it's Halloween." Kyle pointed out. 

"Lame." Dave chimed. "Costumes are for kids."

"So you're not dressing up for tonight's party?" Mom asked him. 

"I'll put on a baseball hat and pretend to be a player." Dave shrugged. 

Noah laughed. "Yea...pretend. I guess even you don't think you're a baseball player."

"Noah." Dad sighed.
