Juliet's POV

It was Halloween, and it was 6:30 in the morning.

I can't tell you how many times I've seen spider webs and guys in weird outfits come in and out of the apartment building, and I saw all that in January.

Anyways, I was putting all the candy in bowls when someone knocked on my door. I opened it.

"Trick or treat!" A little girl in a witch costume said. I let her take her candy.

"Thank you!" She smiled, and I closed the door.

"One down, many more to go." Matt laughed.

"You need to help me. I'm not doing this by myself."

Once again, my mom was in the hospital, working the night shift.

"Of course you are." Matt said.

"Stop being lazy and help me!" I whined.

He rolled his eyes, got up, and stood next to the bowl of candy.

"Thank you.." I smiled as I relaxed on the couch.

"Your welcome." He said as he went on his phone.

Someone knocked on the door.

"Trick or treat!" I heard someone say.

"Nice costume! Here have some candy." Matt said.

"Thank you!" That person said and Matt closed the door.

"I actually like this." Matt said.

"Then you don't mind doing this for a while?" I said.

"No, I do mind." He said as he joined me on the couch.

I laughed.

Then someone knocked on the door.

"You'll get it." Matt and I said at the same time.

"Fine, I'll get it." I said as I got up, went to the door.

It was Aaron, carrying a baby.

"Oh my god, who's this?" I said.

"It's my nephew, Greyson. We're here to get candy right before I go to school." He said.

I gave him a handful of candy.

"Here, I have a lot more candy, anyways." I said.

"Thanks. I'll see you in school!" He waved as I shut the door.

I walked back over to the couch and sat down.

"You're not going to school in your costume?" Matt asked.

"Nope. Why? Is there something wrong with my outfit?" I said as I looked down at my outfit.

I was wearing an Arctic Monkeys shirt, a flannel tied around my waist, and ripped jeans.

"You just seem like you'd be the type of girl that would wear your costume. But be careful. People like to pull pranks on other people that aren't in the spirit." Matt said.

"But you're not in the spirit."

"People don't mess with me."

"That's true." I said as I grabbed my things, and followed Matt out the door.

We went down to the subway and walked to The Coffee Shop.

I got my usual and so did Matt, and we walked to school. We went our separate ways, and I went to my locker.
