7 Ch7-The Halloween Monster!

Chapter 7 The Halloween Monster! "Boo!" the horrible creature yelled at us. He was waving his hairy arms around in the air. "Ahhhhhhhhh!" we screamed. I think the three of us jumped about ten feet high. "Take our candy!" Ryan yelled. "Take it

all! Just don't kill us." It was a hideous creature with thick brown hair all over its body. It even had a hairy mask on its face. The only thing the creature was wearing over all that hair was a pair of underwear. Tighty whities. I thought I was gonna die. "Are you... the Halloween Monster?" I asked, trembling. "No, dumbhead," the thing said as it took off its mask. "It's me." It was my friend Billy who lives around the corner! "Hey, that costume is cool!" I told Billy. "What are you supposed to be?" Ryan asked. "Take a guess," Billy said.

"A vampire?" guessed Michael. "Nope." "A werewolf?" guessed Ryan. "Nope," said Billy. "I'm the underwear- wolf! Get it? A werewolf in his underwear is an underwearwolf!" Well, the only thing funnier than getting someone to say "underwear," or seeing someone in their underwear, is a kid dressed up as a werewolf in his underwear. Billy is weird. "Where are you guys heading?" he asked us. "I'm finished trick-or-treating." "We're going to 176 Norman Road," Michael said, showing Billy the map. "Our school secretary lives there!"

"Wait a minute," Michael said. "Why

did she chop his head off if he was already poisoned?" "For the fun of it," Billy said. "I told you she's a witch. I'm warning you, stay away from that house." It was hard for me to imagine Mrs. Patty poisoning her husband or chopping his head off. Every time I get sent to the principal's office, she seems so nice. One time she even gave me a lollipop. I really wanted to see what kind of candy Mrs. Patty was giving out. But if she chopped my head off, I wouldn't be able to eat the candy anyway. I didn't know what to do. "I don't believe you," Ryan told Billy. "Mrs. Patty isn't a witch. And she's got
