Haunted House

Last night we volunteered at a haunted house between Waverly and Cedar Falls. It was quite the experience! I went with Sarah, Kellie, and Emily, and we all had no idea what we were getting ourselves into. When we got there, it was a little awkward. Most of the people that were working there have worked there every day since they’ve been open. Everybody knew what they were doing, and we just kind of stood there until someone told us what to do. Sarah got picked first for her job, and then it was Kellie. Emily and I were left, but we got put at the same place. Emily and I were both clowns. We weren’t only clowns, we were creepy clowns. We got to wear clown like costumes with creepy masks. Our job was to come out and scare the people that walked into our room. Sometimes we didn’t succeed, but most of the time we got people to jump or scream. The people’s facial expressions were the best! There was one other boy that was in the room with us, and it was a good time. During the time that nobody was coming through, the people around our room came and talked to us. Some of them were so weird! We had one boy in the room that stared at us and had an obsession with light bulbs, but he was so funny! He made my night. I had a fantastic time. I got to meet a lot of new people and be with my best friend. Sometimes we’d just giggle because one of us did something embarrassing. I love to spend time with my friends when I know I have homework to do. It’s a good day to get things off your mind for a little bit, and it’s just a good way to get in a good laugh. I don’t know what I’d do without friends! Last night was fun and scary all at the same time. Sarah gets really scared with haunted houses, so she was hugging us and making us feel needed. It was good! We ate afterwards, and they all made fun of my driving. We had a wonderful night together, and it’s 110% better than going out partying and being stupid. It’s good to volunteer and give your time to other people. The proceeds go to the county and the organization that sets up the haunted house to better improve the haunted house for the following years. It feels good to give your time to others.
