Everyone (Andy, Carolyn, Ashley, Lizzie, CC, Kelly, Jake, Rachel, Jinxx, and Sammi) was all at Rachel's house to celebrate her 18th birthday.

Being around all his friends made Andy feel more relaxed; especially since he had been stressing the whole week studying for a big Calculus exam the following Monday. If he failed, there was little chance he'd pass Calculus this year, which could affect him graduating in general.

Carolyn seemed happier too. The more she was around them, the more she smiled. But it still killed Andy to not know what else had happened to her. But he could wait. He didn’t want to scare her or anything.

After the party, he and Carolyn walked home. They would have driven home, but Andy's car broke down and his dad was fixing it. He hated not having his car. It made him feel slightly more trapped.

“That was really fun.” Carolyn said. “I didn't know you were good at Twister.”

“Being good at it comes with a price.” Andy said and tried to straighten his back again with no success.

Carolyn laughed. “Let me help.” she put one hand on Andy's back and the other on his stomach. She titled him back until she heard a crack. “There.”

“Remind me to keep you around for whenever the guys and I wrestle.” Andy laughed. Moments later they reached her house. “Well I'll see you tomorrow.”

She put her arms around him and hugged him, which surprised Andy, but he hugged her back anyway. Too soon they pulled away.

“Bye.” she said.

“Bye.” he said back, but then remembered something. “Wait!”

She turned around. “Yeah?”

“On Halloween night there's going to be this festival/carnival thing at the park like every year. Wanna come?”

She smiled. “Sure. Do I have to wear a costume?”

“If you want to,” Andy smiled. “I'm not. I don't have a clue of what to do. I'm out of ideas.”

“Okay. Bye.” she said and went into her house.

The whole gang decided to meet up at the Festival instead of going there at the same time. The festival gets better and better every year. Perfect for Andy's favorite holiday. At the last minute, Andy decided to dress up. This year he was Sweeney Todd. He even called Carolyn and asked her if she would be Ms. Lovett, and he was extremely happy when she agreed.

Andy checked himself in the mirror. His black skinny jeans had a little bit of 'blood' on it, and his white button down shirt had a lot. Over his shirt he wore a black vest. His black hair was straightened and perfectly messy enough to be a demon barber. His eyeliner was smudged as well so he would look a little dead. He checked the time on his phone. 8:57 pm.

“SHIT!” he exclaimed and bounded down the stairs. He opened the door and went to his car, but it wouldn't open.

“Andy, you forgot your keys!” his mom yelled from the front door.

Andy mentally slapped himself. He blushed and ran back to the door, got his keys, and gave his mom a quick hug. “Thanks.”

Carolyn was already waiting for him when he got to her house.

“You look lovely, Ms. Lovett.” Andy said.

Carolyn giggled and curtsied. “Why thank you, Sweeney Todd.” she said and stepped in.
