One stormy evening a 14 year old girl, named Stephanie was in the 

kitchen begging her mother to let her stay home from school the next 

day. Stephanie only has one friend, named Alicia. Everyone at school 

makes fun of Stephanie because she's different. But, of course her 

mother makes her attend school and says to her, "Just ignore them 

Steph, it's what's on the inside that counts." Stephanie thought that 

was bologna.

Stephanie stood in her room and just thought to herself. 

"Why are the other kids so mean? Why don't their parents 

tell them it's all about what's on the inside?" As Stephanie 

was thinking she heard the phone ring. "Oh, who could that 

be?"

Stephanie answered the phone. it was her best friend Alicia.

Alicia asked, "Hey Steph, are you coming trick or treating with 

me tomorrow?" Stephanie replied, "Of course! Halloween is my 

favorite. I've had my costume picked out since July!"

Alicia said, "Yay! I can't wait. I'll see you at school tomorrow."

"Oh yeah...school," Alicia thought.

Alicia then went to bed and a huge storm blew in. 

Somehow the entire town slept right through it. 

Something about this storm was different. It almost 

seemed...magical.

Then the morning came and the storm blew 

away. All was peaceful in the city.

Alicia woke up. "It's finally Halloween!" she yelled. 

She quickly put on her witch costume to wear to 

school for the party and went to meet Alicia so 

they could walk to school together.

Alicia of course was a beautiful princess. So the witch 

and princess walked to school.

Stephanie really didn't want to go to school. 

She was afraid of what all the other kids 

would say to her.

To Stephanie's surprise, none of her classmates made 

any mean comments. They were strangely nice to her. 

Stephanie thought maybe it was because it was her 

birthday, but they've never been nice to her on her 

other birthdays. "Maybe it's just a Halloween prank," 

she thought

Stephanie couldn't wait to get home and tell 

her mom how weird today was. Maybe her 

mom knew why everyone was suddenly so 

nice.

When Stephanie got home she found her mom in the kitchen 

wearing a witch hat. "Mom everyone at school was really nice to 

me today. Why do you think they were like that?" Stephanie 

asked. "Well Steph now that you're 15 there's something I need 

to tell you." her mom said.
