When Paul went to the drama club, he saw some familiar faces. His دوستوں were there. There were also some acquaintances he had been with in school plays in the past. He saw one girl who he had not seen before. She kept her long, brown hair in a ponytail, and she wore blue jeans. She seemed laid back and fairly quiet. Was she the one for him? At the very least, they could possibly be good friends. She took notice of him too. She said, "Hello." He thought she seemed friendly enough, so he کہا "hello" back. She said, "I'm Maeve. What's your name?" He said, "I'm Paul. Are آپ new here?" She said, "Kind of. I came here last year, but I wasn't involved in any کلب یا anything. To tell آپ the truth, I was scared." He said, "Don't worry. You're محفوظ here, Maeve." She smiled. She said, "Thanks, Paul." Pretty soon, it was time for the tryouts for the upcoming school play. Paul and Maeve were chosen to go first. They were asked to play out a scene where one character was injured, and the other character helped the injured character. Paul naturally was able to pretend to limp. Maeve was able to convincingly pretend to be concerned, wanting to help. This impressed Paul. It seemed that Maeve was equally impressed with Paul's ability to pretend to be injured. After the tryouts ended, Paul and Maeve were told that they both got the lead. They congratulated each other. Paul said, "I'm not surprised آپ got the lead. You're good at acting." Maeve smiled. "I say the same to you. I look آگے to rehearsing with you." He said, "Likewise." After a pause, he said, "I know we just met, but would آپ like to go out for رات کے کھانے, شام کا کھانا later?" She said, "Certainly. I'd like to get to know مزید about you." He said, "I'd like to get to know آپ too." Paul couldn't wait to tell Hank that he got a date. He wondered if maybe Hank got a تاریخ as well.
Una, Everett, and Kaitlyn had رات کے کھانے, شام کا کھانا at a nice restaurant. As they ate, Una asked, "So, Kaitlyn, what are آپ majoring in?" Kaitlyn replied, "Well, I'm a biology major. I'm hoping to be a veterinarian." Una said, "You're an animal lover. That's great!" Kaitlyn said, "Yes, I've always been an animal lover. How about you?" Una replied, "Well, I always wanted a dog, but my mother is highly allergic. With that being said, I'm so busy with acting, I'm not sure I'd have time for one now." Kaitlyn said, "That's true. Dogs do require a lot of attention. I'm hoping to get one after I finish with veterinary school and get مزید settled." Everett smiled as he listened to Una and Kaitlyn's conversation. He was happy to see that they were getting along so well. He thought, This is wonderful. I think it'll work if Una and I decide to get married.
THE END
THE END
"What do آپ mean?" Una once again prepared to listen. Everett replied, "While my immediate family was supportive of my dream to go into film editing, not everyone was kind. Lots of people told me that I couldn't do it: most of my schoolmates, some teachers, even my extended family." She said, "How awful!" He said, "I know, but I didn't let that keep me down. My father even told me that I should go for it, no matter what anyone says. I looked at different film schools, and I got accepted into one that is fairly close to where I grew up. Upon graduating, I started preparing to go to film school. I started that fall, and I got a job at the local ڈنر, کھانے to help my parents cover the apartment rent." Una added, "And that's where we met." Everett smiled. "Yes, Una. My life only got brighter from there." She said, "Aw! I say the same to you, Everett." With that, they kissed.
Some time later, Una and Everett were settled in a cozy small cafe eating sandwiches and sipping کدو, لوکی spice lattes while foil cutouts of cute ghosts and pumpkins hung from the walls around them.
"Thanks again, Una," Everett کہا after a time. "I just... I don't like small spaces very much."
Una smiled at him and reached across the میز, جدول to touch his hand. "Hey, آپ saved my life once. It's time I saved yours."
They sat in a comfortable silence for a bit, enjoying this much calmer stage of their Halloween celebrations. Una was first to break it.
"I can't believe we solved a real mystery! I can't wait to go ہوم and tell Mother what the secret of the haunted house is."
"Yes," Everett smiled at her. "The secret is my talented actress and her ghost impression."
Una beamed.
