School Dance

Kimberly stepped forward.

"It's about the Halloween dance." She was tall with curly blond hair. Her lips where painted red, but she wore no other makeup.

"Oh?" I shuffled around some papers on my desk, waiting for them to go on.

The last two years, on October thirty-first, the ballroom was transformed into something out of a scary movie with blood spatter on the walls, cobwebs dangling from the ceiling, eyeballs floating in the punch bowl, and ghosts flitting around the frigid air.

The decorations were awesome, but change was good too.

"We know the student body officers are in charge, but we were hoping to do something a little less blood and guts and more light and fun," Kaylan chimed in.

She didn't wear make-up either, except her for lashes, which were thick and black, accentuating her brown eyes and brown skin.

Her hair haloed her face in a short afro.

"Yeah, like based on the movie, Hocus Pocus," Kimberly added.

Kaylan and Heather agreed.
