My name is Kasey James. This story is about 

I guess I should say, my former best friend, 

Fay Orchid. Fay Orchid was like any other 13 

year old girl. Fay liked desserts, the color 

pink, puppies,and even skittles.Fay was a 

very dark person so to speak, she loved the 

color black,it was her favorite color, and 

horror movies,she loved to be scared. 

Fay's favorite holiday was not Christmas it 

was Halloween. Fay loved Halloween, she 

counted down to October the 31 every year. 

Fay had no idea what was going to happen on 

that Halloween, but no one did.I guess I 

should begin where all of this started.  

The day was October 29, 2002 Fay was 

counting down to Halloween as she did every 

year. The first two days were pretty much 

like the two days before Halloween were 

every year, crazy and long. Fay said, "Yay 

Halloween is almost here!" She always 

sounded giddy a couple of days before 

Halloween. 

I didn't exactly think it was the right 

time to bring up the Halloween dance. We 

had liked the same guy for a while and he 

asked me to the Halloween dance. His name 

is Seth White. "Um, I'm not sure how to 

tell you this, but i'm going to the 

dance." I said. Fay replied," Well, that's 

okay I guess this year we can go to the 

dance. I had an awesome night of horror 

movies planned, but that's okay." I said," 

Well I kind of got asked to go by 

someone." Fay's face sunk when I told her 

the news, her favorite day and her best 

friend won't even spend it with her, I 

felt horrible.

All of sudden she cheered up I could tell by 

her face that she had gotten an idea.  

"What?" I asked. Fay replied,"Nothing!" She 

was still smiling but I didn't want to 

question her because she still didn't know 

who I was going to the dance with and if she 

didn't pester me about who I was going with, 

then I was not about to get in her business. 

I thought too soon. "Who are you going 

with?" Fay asked. I couldn't tell her she 

would be heartbroken, so I said,"On second 

thought, maybe we should stay here and watch 

horror movies." Fay looked at me really 

funny but she didn't mention it anymore that 

day. 

A day later October 30, and Fay was even 

happier than yesterday. We went shopping 

for Halloween snacks, we had already put up 

the decorations the first day of October. I 

didn't like to go shopping with Fay, 

because she always got carried away, and 

tried to get me to buy stuff I didn't need. 

Fay knew I would never use the stuff she 

picked out, but she didn't seem to mind. 

"So, are you still not going to the dance?" 

Fay asked. "Well, I have thought about it 

more, and I have decided maybe I should go 

to the dance." I replied. 

Fay brightened up the room with her smile 

"Good, because when you told me I was kind 

of sad, but then I got an amazing idea." 

Fay told me. I guess my face showed how 

nervous I felt because she asked me what 

was wrong and I told her nothing. Fay 

bought a whole bunch of snacks. Then I 

realized if she had a plan, and was glad I 

was going to the dance, then why did we 

need snacks? Fay's mom waited patiently in 

the car for us, she always waits for us. 

She dropped me off at my house and I 

thanked her for taking me shopping and told 

Fay I would see her tomorrow.

The next day at school they announced the 

details about the Halloween dance "Due to 

technical difficulties we will not have our 

dance in the gym. One of our students 

graciously informed us that the dance could 

be held in the ballroom at her house." The 

voice on the intercom buzzed. My mouth fell 

open, so that was her plan. She was having 

the dance at her house since we wouldn't be 

watching our annual horror movie marathon. 

I was shocked Mrs. Orchid let her have it 

there, because she doesn't like a lot of 

people at her house at one time.

The intercom told all of the details on how 

to make it to the dance, then for a split 

second it was quiet. The day was a blur I 

didn't see Fay until fourth period and we 

can't really talk in that class. She met me 

after class "Hey, did you hear the news?" 

she asked happily. "Um,yea." I said 

hesitantly. She was swept away by a crowd 

of giggling girls. I wasn't paying 

attention to the time and I was left 

stranded, staring blankly into space as 

students cleared the halls. The sound of 

the bell awoken me from my gaze.

As I turned to walk to my class I hadn't 

noticed, but I wasn't alone in the hall when I 

looked up it was Seth. "Hi." he said shyly. I 

replied cautiously "Hi." For a couple of 

seconds we just stood there staring until he 

broke the silence. "Do you still want to go to 

the dance with me?" he asked. I hesitated 

before I answered "Yes." I hope he didn't 

notice that I hesitated. "You don't have to go 

with me if you don't want to." Seth replied a 

frown on his face . I said,"It's not that I 

don't want to go, I just don't want to upset 

Fay. She tends to be a little dramatic 

sometimes." He smiled at the last part and 

added "I think Fay will live."
