Halloween Magic

Halloween had always had a special kind of magic to it. Becky Lump was about to discover some of that magic for herself. It started out as any other typical October afternoon did. She swept the floor and took inventory of the costumes in Uncle Sal’s costume shop. She was fifteen and did not always feel like being under the constant surveillance of her Uncle Sal. Uncle Sal worked the cash register.

He always had to work the cash register. He did not trust people when it came to money. He knew how to count it and he knew he could count on himself not to steal any. Her work day started after school everyday. Luckily the shop was open all year long and that gave Becky a steady job. Uncle Sal had raised her from birth.

Becky never got to know her parents. She was glad.

‘’Anybody who would abandon a beautiful child like you did not deserve to know you,’’ Sal would frequently tell Becky.

This always made Becky feel special. As a child, Becky would be ostracized. This was especially prevalent in elementary school. Some of the children even made up cruel songs like, Becky the Unwanted or Orphan Becky. The girl escaped through reading and through the apathetic nature of teens, middle school was a breeze and high school was not too bad, yet.

In fifth grade: Becky met her current best friend, Tamika. Becky’s friend, Tamika, was a half inch taller than Becky and her black frizzy hair looked the leaves on a palm tree. After work, Tamika and Becky went out to a local pizza place. Kevin’s Pizza Shack. The video arcade machine made a series of zapping noises and the boy playing the machine poured about a year’s allowance into the machine.

The girls ordered a large cheese pizzas and a couple of diet Coke’s and grabbed a seat in a booth. They spotted a boy from school. Of course this was no ordinary boy. The boy was her crush, Cory Brown. There was a problem with Cory. He was a total hunk but he had a girlfriend. Her name was Julie Gray. She was a total stuck up snob and was rude to everybody.

She pushed Tanya Hankins in the mud and told her she looked like a pig in mud. Tanya was so upset, she punched Julie and got suspended and of course Miss head cheerleader, Julie Gray, did not receive any kind of reprimanding whatsoever, ‘’Isn’t he so cute?’’ Becky asked, as she stared at Cory.

Tamika just shrugged. ‘’He’s ok I guess, if you’re into white guys.’’

‘’Ha hah:’’ Why you have to make everything about race?’’

‘’My dad says, the day I bring a white guy home is the day I pay for college alone.’’

‘’Ouch,’’ Becky said. ‘’You’re dad sounds kind of harsh.’’

Tamika just shrugged. ‘’He’s ok I guess. He just comes from another generation. ‘’

‘’That’s still no excuse,’’ Becky replied. ‘’Love is love.’’

‘’That should totally be a bumper sticker,’’ remarked Tamika.

‘’You really think so?’’ Becky’s voice sounded chipper.

‘’For sure,’’ Tamika answered.

‘’How are you and Walter doing?’’ Becky asked, before taking a sip of her Coke.

Tamika looked down, stirring her drink with her straw. ‘’Walter and I broke up.’’

‘’Oh, I’m sorry. When?’’

‘’This afternoon,’’ Tamika said, looking up into Becky’s blue eyes.

‘’Bummer,’’ Becky stated. ‘’It must feel awful. Do you want to talk about it?’’

‘’Nothing to talk about; he met this other girl and likes her better. That’s the end of it.’’ Tamika shrugged. Her lips started to quiver. Silence fell between the two friends/ ‘’It’s his loss,’’ Becky said.
