28. Boo Who?

It was spooky season again which means that the Booing would start. For those who are confused a Boo is a Westport tradition where you get a Boo which is mainly food. This morning we all gathered by the front door and it revealed nothing. "And every time I think we've hit rock bottom... you two, your fault." Oliver said before walking away.

"I can't be a public humiliation anymore." I said before walking away with Taylor and Anna-Kat. I wonder if we'd ever get booed. But yet again we never would so I'd might as well give up hope. Once I got to school I saw Javi.

"We got booed." Khadijah said with a smile, I looked at her.

"Your so lucky." I said to her with a smile.

"Still no boo?" Lilli asked me.

"No boo at all." I said to her while shaking my head.

"Maybe some other time." Hattie said to me making me smile.

"I maybe stupid but what's a boo?" Javi asked us making us all look at each other. We then explained to him what it was. When I got home I went to my room to do my homework when I heard screaming coming from downstairs. I decided to investigate.

"Anna-Kat! Honey, what happened? Why'd you scream?" Mom asked as I came downstairs, that was an Oliver scream.

"It wasn't me. It was Oliver. I jumped out and scared him." Anna-Kat said to us, I started laughing.

"You really need to get a better scream." I said to him before laughing again.

"Dude." Mom said to him.

"Oh, it wasn't a scared scream. It was more of an excited scream, like..." Oliver said before doing a high-pitched scream. I started laughing even more. "'There's my little sister. I missed you'." Oliver said to his, he really wasn't helping himself.

"Dude." Anna-Kat said to him.

"Fine. This sucks. I have plans to go to Cooper Bradford's haunted house this year with Alice McCarthy. What am I gonna do? I scream like a girl. And not a brave girl, like Wonder Woman. I'm like the girl that Wonder Woman saves." Oliver said to us, he was going to suffer and it was going to be funny.

"I overcame my fear if water by going into the water. Maybe Oliver needs his own immersion therapy." Anna-Kat said to us, we're we about to have a horror movies marathon.

"That's actually not a terrible idea." Mom said to us with a smile.

"Uh, no, it is." Oliver said to us, I looked at him.

"Shut up." I said to him.

"Go for it Anna-Kat." Mom said to her, this was going to be fun.

"Roger that." Anna-Kat said while acting like she had an ear piece in.

"Anna-Kat, please, I ask you not to do this." Oliver said to her in a begging tone. She'd ignore him.

"Right, because you want to be surprised when I scare you. Smart." Anna-Kat said, that really was a smart idea.

"No, because I don't want you to do it." Oliver said to her, secretly he did.

"Gotcha." She said while walking away. I followed her upstairs. This was going to be a good hilarious. I then started on my homework again. When it got to the next day I knew what it meant.

"Costume check! Get 'em on and line 'em up!" Mom said to us, I then got on my Corpse Bride outfit. Everyone on my friendship group were going as different Tim Burton characters. Once it was on I walked outside and lined up outside my door.

"Oh, now, that looks great! A Princess! So much better than that drowned zombie from last year." Mom said to Anna-Kat as she got out first.

"No, I'm going as a zombie princess. Grand-Duchess Anastasia of the Romanov family. She was murdered by the Bolshevik Secret Police mid-1918. There were rumors of her escape, but I'm not buying it." Anna-Kat said to her, her mind truly scared me sometimes.

"Great. Just as long as it doesn't involve me having to go to Sue-Ann Fabrics at the last second. I still have not recovered from last year's rotator-cuff injury. You see this? This is as high as I can go with my arm." Mom said to her, she then looked at me. "What are you some kind of dead bride?" She asked me, I looked at her.

"I'm going as Emily from the Corpse Bride. The Tim Burton film." I said to her, she looked over my costume.

"I recognize it now, but you need to be blue." She said to me, I put my head to the side.

"I will on the night." I said to her, I heard a door open. Out walked Oliver.

"Look at you! Let me guess- -a nerdy, young, Silicon Valley dork." Mom said to Oliver making me burst out laughing.

"These are my school clothes, Mom. And I have no need for a costume. Because the scare therapy is not going well." Oliver said to us, that was true I've heard him scream nonstop and every time I heard it I fell to the ground laughing.

"I wanted in that bathroom hamper for three hours. I now know things about all of you I wish I didn't." Anna-Kat said before going in her room. She'd seen me at my worst then.

"You're getting over your issue with being scared, because you're not going trick-or-treating with me and Anna-Kat. It only takes us 20 minutes. We hit two houses, then I take her to CVS and buy all the crap on sale." Mom said to Oliver.

"And you're also getting over your fear because I don't want to say my twin is a wimp." I said before going into my room to change out of my clothes.

"Guys, get down here quick." I heard Dad say before we all went downstairs. "My fellow Ottos, today is a proud day. I think it was the orator Cicero- -" Dad started telling us, I couldn't help but yawn.

"I swear to God, Greg, if you teach me something right now..." Mom said to him, he then opened the front door.

"We've been Booed." Dad said making me gasp. Finally.

"No way!" Taylor said to us.

"My poster was right. Dream it. Believe it. Achieve it." Oliver said to us, that was something that would be right.

"I wonder if it will help with your phobia as well." I said to him, he glared at me.

"Shut up." He said as Dad picked up the Boo.

"Oh, hi! We just got Booed. No biggie." Mom said to someone outside, Taylor and I were looking through the basket.

"I thought you didn't care about getting Booed." Dad said to her confusedly.

"I don't. Don't be ridiculous." Mom said before the 5 of us started walking away.

"Come on." Dad said before we started looking through the basket. Once I changed at got to school I ran over to my friends.

"We got Booed!" I said to them all. Then all smiled.

"I'm so happy for you." Hattie said while hugging him, we then went if with our day. When it got to the weekend Hattie, Lilli and I were doing the Zombie run again, we had fun and afterwards we went to Khad's house. She needed help with her Sally costume. We all helped up before we headed home. I saw Dad pass me and didn't think of it as anything.

"Where's Dad young?" I asked Mom as I walked in.

"To speak with Chloe Brown-Mueller." She said to me, I looked at her.

"That's not gonna go well." I said before going to the couch and waiting for Dad to return. I may have fallen asleep a little bit. When the front door shut I woke up.

"So, um, how did it go?" Mom asked him, I sat up and looked over.

"I accidentally pretty much obliterated the place. I destroyed thousands of dollars worth of valuable items, any I have glass in my boots." He said to us, that was funny in the way of how much he messed up.

"Did you film it?" Mom asked, I hoped that h did.

"No." Dad said to us, making me me sigh.

"You never film things. Y/n go with him next time and record it." She said to me before standing up. "I love that you went down there for me and tried to do so that you're terrible at. Plus knowing Chloe Brown Mueller's shop is destroyed pretty much makes up for everything." Mom said to him, that was sweet.

"Just hearing you say those words makes the cut on my foot that's slowly filling my boot with blood worth it." Dad said before they hugged I then went upstairs, when it got to bed. I heard Oliver screaming which made me laugh so much I fell out of bed.

"What the hell is going on?!" I heard Mom say before I got back into bed and fell asleep. When it got to Halloween I made sure that every last thing if my outfit was perfect especially the makeup. "Alright, everybody, come down and show us your costumes." Mom said before we all started coming downstairs. "Oh, honey! You look beautiful! Glowing, even." Mom said to Taylor with a smile.

"Why do I want to kill whoever fake did that to you?" Dad asked.

"Honey, looking drop dead beautiful. And you're sparking!" Mom said to me with a smile.

"Why do I feel sad that you fake died before I walked you down the aisle?" Dad asked while looking at me making me shake my head. Then Oliver came down.

"Bane is here." Oliver said his voice was deep due to the mask. Anna-Kat then jumped out and scared him making him scream. But it wasn't high pitched. "It worked. I sound like a dude." Oliver said after he took his mask off.

"Very clever." Dad said to Mom, I felt bad about what Mom went through.

"I had to go back to the store." Mom said to us before looking like she was relieving it. "For the record that movie 'The Purge' is based on Sue-Ann Fabrics on Halloween day. Next year, costume check July 4th. Alright, Bride, Bane and Preggers, you've got parties to go to. Come on, Zombie Anastasia. Let's go trick-or-treating." Mom said before opening the door to reveal a boo. "What the...? Who would have Booed us?" Mom asked I had no idea.

"Boo." Dad said making Mom smile and kiss him. "Well, if you need me, I'll be at Chloe Brown Mueller's shop working off my debt." Dad said before leaving. That was going to be fun. Oliver and I then headed to our party. Once I got there I saw that all my friends had stuck to the theme. A week after Halloween I was in my room on the phone with Hattie when we both heard Oliver scream again. It wasn't over.
