Liam smacked his hands on the table in front of excitedly, making me jump a little, "We're gonna go round to Taper's(made up place) tonight, right?"
 

 I had been kind of jumpy since I got up, I probably didn't get quite as much sleep as I needed. I could definitely deal with a little jumpiness though, especially since it was Halloween.  We were all staying at Niall's tonight, and with all the lollies and sugar I doubted that I was going to be able to catch up on any sleep until tomorrow night.

 Harry groaned, tugging on one of his curls with his face all scrunched up, "ugh, but that's such a long walk."

"Don't be a baby H, it's not even that far. And it's totally worth it, you know Taper's the best area," Niall said, rolling his eyes.

Taper's was the best area to trick or treat. It was kind of like the rich street, and pretty much everybody went all out on Halloween and gave out proper family sized chocolate bars and bags of sweets to anyone who knocked on the door. It was definitely the best place to be.

"You're keen for Taper's, right Lou?"

 I grinned with a definite nod, "of course I'm up for Taper's."

"Three against one Harry, sorry, you're outnumbered." Liam smiled, "I can't wait for school to finish!"

"I know. Hey Lou, are you gonna eat that?"

I heard my name and glanced over to see Niall pointing at the untouched sandwich in front of me. To be honest I had completely forgotten it was there. I wasn't feeling at all hungry for some reason and the more I thought about eating it, the more I realised that I didn't really want it so I shook me head in reply to Niall's question.

 I pushed it over to him, "nah, you can have it if you want Ni."

"Thanks Louise!"

"Do I look like a girl?"

Niall shrugged as he dug into the sandwich, "sometimes."

 I wished I had kept it, so that I could throw it at him.

"Aren't you hungry Lou?" Harry asked me.

 I smiled in response, feeling kind of uneasy about the whole thing. Usually lunch was a big event for me, I got through my own and then picked on everyone else's until there wasn't anything left, "just saving room for tonight"

 Harry nodded calculatively, taking a big bit of his muffin, "that's pretty smart actually."

After lunch was over we had to go back to class for an hour before we could leave. Our little group wasn't the only one buzzing about going trick or treating and I almost felt bad for Mrs Adrienne while she tried to keep us all under wraps. We weren't making it easy.

My stomach started making weird noises about twenty minutes before the bell was due to ring but I didn't think too much of it until it actually started to hurt a little bit a few minutes later. 

See, this was what happened when I didn't eat my usual lunch.

Finally the bell that let us leave rang out loud and clear and everyone leaped up onto their feet and dashed out of the room, ignoring the teachers cries completely as she tried to get us all to sit back down so that she could finish what she was trying to say.

Niall dragged me through the doorway with a firm grip on my forearm and when he did let go he left red fingerprints in place of his fingers.

"My Mum's waiting guys, let's go!" Niall yelled out over the buzz of noise as everyone rushed around grabbing their bags. I couldn't help but wonder how strange it must've looked to someone over five foot, to me it felt like a rampage, but to an adult I could imagine it all being quite scary. I supposed that was how it was for Nina, the tallest girl in our class and possibly the tallest eleven year old in history.
