There’s nothing like riding the team bus home after a big win over your rival high school. I don’t think I ever felt closer to my teammates. I wished the night would go on forever. But it was late and up ahead was our high school parking lot where our parents were waiting to drive us home.
Quickly, we said our good-byes and headed toward our cars. I searched the dimly lit parking lot for Mom’s blue car. It wasn’t anywhere. Halloween was a few days away and an eerie wind blew leaves across the lot.

The teammate smiled. “You sure?” We were good friends. At the meet that evening, I had won the mile race and she had won the 440-yard dash.
“Yeah, I’m sure,” I said. She held her index finger high, signaling that we were number one. I waved good-bye. She and her mom drove off. The last thing I saw was my friend’s big grin. When her car disappeared into the darkness, I was alone.
