One Halloween night, Nicole decided to have a costume party at a real haunted house. She Invited all of the kids at her school. Erika, her best friend, was helping her fix up the haunted house with decorations. While they were decorating, they kept hearing creepy noises coming from different parts of the house. They were too excited to care..
The party was starting in less than an hour. People were starting to arrive. Everything was perfect until things started getting fun...
It was two hours into the party. The music was blasting. People were dancing. Then all of a sudden, everything stopped. The lights turned off, the music stopped. Then he arrived...
He was standing at the top of the stairs. Obviously, a ghost, he hovered. He told everyone to get out and leave. Then he disappeared.
No one listened and kept dancing. Fifteen mintues later, he came back. He started flying over people and taunting them. Everyone left the house. Erika and Nicole stood outside the house. They turned to look at the house, and it was gone. No sign of it anywhere. As a result, Erika and Nicole never had a party ever again.

AnOutsider'sView.
In the book, "Of Mice and Men", there is a character named Crooks. Crooks is treated like an outsider all because of the color of his skin. The other men won't let him play cards or even let him sleep in the barn with them.
I understand how he feels because I have also been treated like an outsider. As most people know, I'm pretty quiet in class and keep to myself. This one time I truely felt left out of everything. I was in class and we were told to find a group to do a project in. I knew no one in the entire class, so I just picked a random group and asked if I could join and I did. The whole time we were supposed to be working, not once did anyone ask me for help, advice, or an idea. It was like I wasn't even there.. Although of course, the other group members were all chatty and giving their ideas while I just sat there. After the group was finished, I just simply left and didn't say a word. I decided right then and there, I would never work with them ever again and I would simply work alone. Even after that, I never talked to anyone who was in the group. It was absolutely horrible..
