Get Out-Personal Narrative

I remember it was a chilly October night, everyone running around in their costumes, and I myself, in a pink princess dress. My mom had spent all night doing my hair in perfect curls and I just couldn't wait to get my plastic clear heels on from Walmart that almost every 8-year old had. I knew that this Halloween would be the BEST.. Little did I know, it would, in fact, be

I just stood there looking out at the dead, mud covered grass sledding hill watching my brother fall out of this sled causing me to laugh. Little did I know this night would be the last night I though God was there watching over me. That hill that almost killed me was a barren wasteland of ice that still to this day scares me. After my dad walked back down and up with my brother it was my turn to go down the hill. I wasn’t nervous, but thinking back on it sends my stomach into a frenzy of butterflies. Anyways, my dad pushed me down the hill, half way down the hill all I remember hearing my dad shout was “Bail out!” What does that phrase even mean to a 6 year old 1st grader who can barely read, almost absolutely nothing is what I questioned in my own mind.

Get me out of here. I know something is about to happen, I feel it in my gut. It's a setup for failure, really. A party at an estranged house on the edge of the city full of nothing but intoxicated and incapacitated teens. Something is bound to go down. I started to think of ways to get out without just bluntly saying it.

I woke up, got ready for school, as I got to school me and my friend was talking about girl stuff our way to our lockers, then you know who (Agatha) walked up to us and said “ I’m having a costume party and everyone

I was going for a run even though I was super out of shape. I saw Frank Porter running. At the orchard when he told me he wanted me to help him run I didn’t think that he actually wanted to. He saw me and stopped me. Then he asked if I wanted to run with him so I agreed. Then he asked about when I was at the orchard and asked me if I was alone; he asked where Sloane was. We were really close to his house and he wanted to race; I beat him. We went inside because he was going to give me a water but then we heard his parents fighting so I left. I was at work and this girl came running in and she looked very upset.; it turns out that her boyfriend was cheating on her with her best friend. The worst part was they all worked together at the

I remember it, like it was yesterday; the Naperville High School was having its annual Halloween dance. What costume should I wear? The choice was obvious. When I was a little girl, with pigtails and a blue fancy dress blowing in the wind, I would run to my castle, our tree house. I would pretend, like I was in a deep hibernation, waiting for my tall dark and handsome prince to awake me. I would open my eyes only to see my dog, Polly, licking me with her wet little coarse tongue.

“Come on, let's go,” said Kathie. “No, we can just sleep here in the park, behind the bushes. Did you bring our sleeping bags?” I said sarcastically. “Em, come on, seriously,” said Katherine. “I'm not joking anymore.” “Ok, fine. Just wait,” I said, trying to peer over the bushes. “Hey! Kathie, look there's a shoe over there.” “Who cares? Someone probably dropped it,” she replied. “Yeah, I'm just gonna leave my shoe behind the bushes,” I responded smartly. As I advanced on the bush, I gasped. Suddenly unable to find my voice, I spoke “K-Kathie…,” “Yeah?” she called out. “C-can you come over here?” I stammered. She slowly walked over, approaching the bush, I heard her gasp quietly. We stayed there a minute or two listening to our heavy breaths.

I scared trick or treaters from behind my house.I sat the bowl of candy on the

While trick-or-treating, my friends, and I decided to explore a dark street, we had never noticed before. As we were walking towards we saw a clown me and my friends Coralie , Bri ,Allie,Izzy scream really loud.As we pass the clown slowly Coralie flys off like a unicorn but really she’s skipping down the sidewalk ,not only that its really foggie says Allie .When we saw a house Izzy says let’s get CANDY !!! and then I say where’s Coralie ? Bri said she’s skipping like you said as we look around we don’t see her but after we got candy from the old lady at the house.Then we saw coralie she said she got lots of candy from the neighborhood I said how? did you go around the neighborhood ? She says yup.Izzy says I WANT UR CANDY !!!! NOW!!!.

Down the block stood the start of a line made up of band shirts, colored hair, and Vans. Each person sitting with the hope of being one of the first fifty fans to show up. My strides elongated from their normal petite distances not allowing anyone else to get in line before I had. Seventeen blocks trekked across from my stop at Spring Street over to Elizabeth Street in NoLita. Never would any other kid be up at this ungodly hour in the summertime, but it was worth it all for us. My friend, Maddie, kept her pace as she walked right by my side. I took one last step to the shady spot in line where I immediately pulled myself down onto the cool pavement. I pulled out my phone, which had now been burning from the heat and saw that we had another

Now it was six thirty and we were ready to go Trick or Treating!! I tried to scare kids some got scared and some did not. I started going to door to door and neighborhood to neighborhood. At this one house, this guy pretend to kill this kid

As I turned the corner, a sign announced we had one mile to go. Just as I turned to share the news with my friend Baylee, she hit the ground.

After about 5 minutes of walking, we stopped and sat down just along the water's edge; Grayson and Elaine sat across from me, a small fire we started in the middle.

First of all, Halloween is probably my second favorite holiday. (After Christmas.) This will probably be the last year I'll go trick or treating. I'll definitely take my little cousin trick or treating in high school, I just won't actually get any candy! I might dress up in upcoming years if I'm going to a Halloween party or something along the lines of that. This year though, I'm going to be a Gumball Machine. It's a DIY (do it yourself) costume that I'm making with my mother. (I'm praying it will look nice.)

Driving to the new house was the most longest I have ever sat in that car. When we got there I run to the door were I opened it and ran inside. It was about 4oclock when we got there. I asked if I could put up things for Halloween and momma said yes. When I got done it was dinner time. I and momma ate together. The doorbell rang I went to go who it was when I opened the door smoked filled the house and there was a tall man standing there with a really long nose piece on a gas mask.
