Like young volcanoes

Oh gosh, I love Halloween. I always make my own costumes. I’m already planning for this year’s.

What are you going to be this year?

Auditions tomorrow at my community theater group!

Awesome! I know you'll get it. What are you auditioning for?

Never try eating a fireball.

You mean like the candy? Ugh, I hate those things.

[is sitting under a tree reading a book. Looks up when a shadow appears on her page] I’m sorry but you’re in my light.

Oh, I am? Woops, sorry. I didn't really see you there.

—Can this day get any worse?

If you say that, then it probably will.

How many times have you had to say you’re an apple? Did you dress up as one for Halloween? I love Halloween.

No, I didn't have to say that exact sentence. I just kinda put the words together. And I don't even think I dressed up for Halloween. But I do love the holiday.

I don’t know…Maybe it’s the stress from the last few months of school.

Well we only have a week or two left so hopefully you won't be too stressed. And if it ever gets too bad, you can always find someone to hang out with.

Oh, trust me. I had to ask my cousin to help me with all of it. Spanish is hard!

Every language is hard. I once tried to learn German on the internet and gave up after a few lessons. But I did learn how to say "I am an apple."

I, uh,….I don’t know. You’re very pretty…I mean, well…Uh…What was the question?

Any reason why you were spacing out?

Oh…Thanks.

No problem. So, any particular reason why you spaced out? Or am I just that special?

You would think out of all the gyms in Phoenix, there would at least be one that didn’t suck.

Well, that depends on who you talk to as to whether or not this place sucks. I'd say right now every woman in her right mind would love this place.

AHEM!

I would say something in Spanish but my knowledge consists of numbers and days of the week. Happy Cinco de Mayo.

I was? I’m really sorry; I didn’t even realize. There’s definitely nothing wrong with your face.

It's no problem. And thanks. There's definitely nothing wrong with your face, either.

So, obviously you don’t have to, but it’s there if you need it.

I very highly doubt I'll need it, but thanks for the suggestion.

I thought that too honestly, then I tripped on DMT. My imagination ran quite wild that night.

Mm I'm sure it did.

Yeah, well, you always have imagination. And drugs if you can get your hands on them. 

I think I have enough of an imagination without drugs.

Yeah, just dump some ice cubes in it and spend the whole day inside it. Sounds pretty nice to me. Digging a hole could be messy, but if that’s something you prefer, I wont judge.

That's true...but a bathtub pool just doesn't sound as fun as a regular one. I think I'll pass for now; unless I get really desperate.
