1. Tomorrow Isn’t Now

1 Tomorrow Isn't Now My name is A.J., and I hate October 30. If you ask me, October 30 is the worst day of the year. You know why? Because I'm not allowed to eat any candy on that day. We have these giant bags of candy all over the house, and my mom won't let me touch them. "No candy, A.J.!" she always says on October 30. "That candy is for the trick-ortreaters." "Oh, come on, Mom! Can I have just one piece?" "No! You can have all the candy you want tomorrow." "Yeah, but tomorrow isn't now!" I hate tomorrow. Tomorrow is the worst day of the week, because it isn't here yet.

Waiting for tomorrow feels like forever. The good thing is, tomorrow is also the best day of the week, because the day after the worst day of the year is the best day of the year: Halloween! You can eat all the candy you want, and nobody can stop you! The other reason I don't like October 30 is because it's Mischief Night. Teenagers in our town go around throwing eggs, soaping up windows, ringing doorbells, and doing other mean stuff. At seven o'clock I went to peek out the front window to make sure our house was safe. And you'll never believe in a million hundred years what I saw outside. Our trees were covered with toilet paper! Somebody TP'd our house! Can you believe that? What a mean thing to do! And I knew exactly who did it, too. Andrea Young.

She is this girl with curly brown hair in my class at school.* It had to be Andrea! She hates me. Last year me and the guys TP'd her house. Now she was getting me back.

Well, two can play at that game, Andrea. Revenge will be mine, and revenge will be sweet.
