Chapter 1
Knowing that the old man was gone for good, I decided to throw a Halloween party at his house. With the help of Andrew the house was the scariest on the block.
"I can't wait until your Halloween party, Yvett," said Sam.
"Cathy, why are you being so quiet, today," I questioned her.
"I'm upset, Dwight told me he would come to your party and now he has to take his little sister trick-or-treating."
"Well get over it, maybe she won't be out long and he'll show up but late," I said . "I want you to have fun at my party so I'll talk to him for you."
"You would do that?"
"Yeah, anything to make you happy."
"Oh Yvett, you're the best!'
"I know and my party's going to be too."
Weall went to the mall to pick out a really scary costume. It turned out those weren't for us because when we saw them we freaked out. So I'm a bunny , Cathy's a puppy, and Sam's a kitten.
"I heard you freaked out when you saw the costumes," Andrew said chuckling.
"Yeah, so now I'ma very sexy bunny. Just unlike some of these girl at the school I cover up my private parts. I'm not like all them hoes coming to my party."
"Well I like you in what ever you wear," he said as he gave me a kiss. "Well see you later, I got to help my mom pick out candy," he paused then asked, "Want to come?"
"No, I need to settle down for the day, I've been going everywhere today, so bye."
After he left, I went home and went to see what dad was doing. He was cooking dinner when I got in the house.
"Mmm, what you cooking, it smells good," I said sniffing the air.
"Your favorite, cheesburgers and fries," he responded. ' With mom's favoprite dessert, cottage cheese."
'This dinner goes to you, mom," I said with tears in my eyes.
"Why do you have to do that, you're always making me cry," dad said also with tears in his eyes.
I gave him a big hug then said, "Sorry dad, it just hurts to think of her.
"It's ok we'll get through it together."
Chapter 2
At school it was a party day because all the students are celebrating Mrs. Brownings marriage.
"Yvett, you didn't have to do this for me," Mrs. Browning said.
'Anything for my favorite teacher and anyway's I owe you for helping me get a job," I explained.
"Oh, thank you sweetheart," she said giving me her nice big white smile.
The man she married was my father. They have beengoing out isnce I was thirteen. Now that I'm sixteen I finally have a complete family. My stepmother is going to be moving in with us sometime today.
"Mrs, Browning can I talk to you after class," I asked.
"Sure," she said.
After class I went up to her desk and asked, "When will you be changing your last name?"
"The school says I can't change my name until next year but you can call me Mrs. Martinez," she said. "Your father is a really nice man."
"I know, my mom said the same thing befor she pasted away," I said as I started to cry.
"Oh sweetheart, come here let me give you a hug," she said crying herself. "I know how you feel, I lost my mom at a young ahe too.
When we stopped crying I was twenty minutes late for class, 'Yvett, you should get to class. If they call home, I'll explain to him for you."
"Ok, bye. I'll see you after school," I paused. "Are you going to give me a ride home?"
"Yeah, I'll call your dad to tell him."
When I got to class Mr. Jordan was furious. "Where have you been, Yvett," he yelled.
"I was talking to Mrs. Browning, she wanted to talk to me."
"We'll have to see about that. I want to see you after class, he said getting frustrated.
"Ok," I nervously said.
When I got to my seat, Andrew asked me, "What she want to talk to you about?"
"Well I wanted to talk to her but if I told him that he would be even more mad at me."
I know you're probably wondering why I'm in a class with Andrew but I guess I can tell you. It's because we have Gate together, gate is a place for really smart kids.
"Oh, after class, when he done talking to you I'll be waiting for you so you don't feel left out," he told me.
"Thanks but go to class. I don't want you to be late for class so you can be yelled at."
"Don't worry, I'll take care of it. I'll make up a lie."
"Ok, lets get to work."
Mr. Jordan told us what the work was and we got it done.
Chapter 3
When I got home, dad wasn't home. I knew something was wrong because normally he waits until I get home to leave.
"Let me call him to see where he is," I said taking out my phone. "make yourself at home."
I dialed dad's number into the phone and wiated to see if he was going to answer.
"Hello," dad said.
"Dad, where are you, Susan is over here with her stuff and wants to know where to put it."
"Just tell her to wait, I'll be there in an hour," he responded. "bye sweetheart."
"Bye, dad," I said hanging up. "Susan, he said he'll be here in an hour.
"Oh ok, so what can I do to have fun around here?"
"Watch movies, that's all I do because most of the time I'm gone."
"Oh, what is there to eat?"
"I'm cooking lasagna tonight."
"Really, do you always cook?"
"No, sometimes I cook other times dad cooks."
"That's cool, but now I'm taking over tomorrow, no more cooking for you guys," she said. "You need a brake don't you?"
"Not really, I love to cook, it keeps my miind busy."
When we stopped talking dad finally came home.
"Yvett, Andrew's outside for you."
"Ok, bye dad. I'll be back before dinner."
"Jacob, where should I put my stuff at," she asked while he came and gave her a kiss.
When I got in Andrew's car, I gave him a kiss.
"Where are we going,you normally call when you're going to take me somewhere."
"It's a surprise."
"Can I know now?"
"Not yet," he responded as he took something out of his poclet.
He finished taking it out of his pocket and it was a blind fold.
"Put this on."
"Why?"
"Because it's a surprise."
"Ok," I put the blindfold on then asked, "Is this good enough?"
"Yeah, now just wait a little bit," he said smiling, "we're almost there."
Like thirty minutes later he stopped the car, "We're here." He got out of the car, came around to my side and helped me out of the car. A few minutes later I was sitting in a chair. Then my phone started ringing.
"Dig in your pockets and give me your phone."
I did just that because I didn't want to make him mad .
"Hello," he said into the phone.
"Andrew, where you taking Yvett to that you guys are still out, she is late for dinner."
"I took her out to eat, sorry to keep her out late."
"It's ok, as long as you bring her hom before nine."
"Ok, bye," he said as he took the blind fold off.
"Oh my gosh, Andrew why did you do this?"
"So your parents can ahve some alone time."
"Really," I asked getting disappointed.
"No, so I can be alone with you, I need to talk to you."
"Oh ok, lets eat first, did you make this food."
"Yes."
We started eating and he can cook. I mean I was in heaven.
"You like the food don't you?"
"Yes, it's delicous. When did you learn how to cook?"
"When I met you because I knew one day I would be takiing you out to eat."
"Aww, how sweet. Come here I'm going to give youa big juicey kiss."
When we got done kissing, he took me back to the car and showed me what he bought for our date.
"Why are you always buying me stuff, how can I pay you back?"
"Because I'm being thoughtful. You can pay me back by being my girl."
"Oh, I can do that," I said with a big smile on my face.
Chapter 4
When I got home it was ten minutes until nine.
"Dad, I'm home, what did you guys have for dinner," I yelled.
"Sweetheart, why is your hair wet?" Susan asked.
"Andrew tool me to the beach and we had delicous food, you wouldn't believe that Andrew did all of this for me."
"Oh, darling isn't that sweet what he did for you?"
"Yeah, I guess but you still haven't answered my question," I rudely sad.
"Oh, we ate take out, chinese food."
"Oh, sorry I couldn't come home to cook, I promise I'll cook tomorrow.
"Ok, well good night," they both said.
'Good night."

The next day I got a call from sam.
"Hello," I said.
"There's five more days until your party and guess who's coming as my guest?" She said.
"I don't know, who?"
"David, he asked me out and I decided to invite him since all of my friends are going."
"Cool, I got to go get ready for school, bye."
"Bye," she said.
When I finished getting dresse I remembered I left my wallet in the old mans house.
"Susan, Im gong next door to get my wallet."
"Ok, don't be long, breakfast is almost ready.'
"Ok."
When I stepped ouside it felt good. I went over to the old man's house then went around back.
I was so freaked out I couldn't move.
"Aaahhh," I screamed as I was staring at a dead body.
"What sis it?" Andrew asked running over to me.
"It's starting again. Why is this happenening to me?" I cried.
"Oh, darling who- oh dear what has happened here?" Susan questioned.
"I can hadle this, come on Yvett lets get you to school."
"I can't go to school knowing there's a killer on the looses and he/she killed a sweet girl."
"Oh, come one lets take you for adrive then," he said.
"I guess I can handle that but first I want to talk to my dad."
"Ok, lets stop by his job," he paused thinking of what to say next. "Do you want to do that?"
"Yes," I said right before my phone started ringing. I answered it and said, "Hello."
"I told you I would come back for you," a man said.
"Who is this and how did you get my number?"
"Oh, I'm just an old friend. Why it's only been three years."
'What do you want from me, just leave me alone," I said hanging up.
"Who was that and what did they want," Andrew asked.
"I don't know and I don't care, I just want them to leave me alone."
Andrew helped me into the car because I was all shaky. He was driving slow today, he only drives slow when he is thinking.
"What you thinking about?" I asked looking at him curiously.
"How
