Forced Love

Chapter 19 Halloween Dance

It's today, the dance, and the Guardians and I are frantically putting everything together.

"Make sure the lights are okay." Klaude shrieks.

"All good." Charlie says. Twins and I are bringing in the refreshments while everyone else is just running around like chicken. Alex rushes with more paint for the gates that we're painting and he looks like he's having fun.

"Is this the first dance you guys have ever pulled off?" I asked to the twins as we were running right behind him.

"No, it's just I heard a lot of people might come." Andrew said.

"Yeah, a lot of girls that weren't invited asked me where it'd be." John said right behind. We came into the place and it was looking good as ever.

"Looks good." The twins said together, I agreed, it was looking much like a haunted house. "Okay Guardians, I think it's time for us to prepare." Alex said and they all cheered and the twins took my by the arm and we headed to the Rose Palace, the garden place where we usually did our meeting and chill time. Everyone went everywhere and I was left by the table, I guess they went to change. The twins were first to come out, they were both dressed as angels.

"That's a terrible costume, it doesn't represent you at all." Charlie said coming out. She was a pirate I presume, and she widened her eyes at me. "Where's your costume Katie?" she asked.

"I didn't know we had to dress up."

"It's a costume party so obviously you need to dress up, Jokers!" she commands. They grab me by the arm and salute Charlie. "You know what to do." she smirks evily. "Yes Queen." They say and they take me back into a dressing room, since when did we have this? They push me in there and they hold up a black packaged thing and grin evily.

"It's time." Andrew said.

"We've been waiting to do this for a very long time." John says.

"Please have mercy." I say terrified about what they're going to do. "Time to change." they smirk and before they can do anything I snatch the package and psuh them out, I don't want to be stripped by them.

"I'll do it myself!" They both start laughing and I don't think they're leaving until I come out. I look at what's inside the package and I'm a bit wary of putting it on. I slip on the dress, it goes just over my knees, it's a bit saggy but I guess that's how it's supposed to look. It has red on both of my shoulders like a little wizard's costume, there's a hat in it so I guess I'm supposed to be a witch. I put it on and look at myself in the mirror. Before I do I slowly take off my ponytail and my glassese off a nd set them down in front of me on a table.

"Are you don-" Andrew says coming in and I turn and he completely forgets what he was going to say. "Is it bad?" I ask. He doesn't answer immediately and then he says, "No, it's perfect on you." he guides me out and John is turned around but then he slowly turns to face me.

"I knew it'd look good on you." he smiles.

"Thanks." I say, he gestures me over to the round table and places a chair and I sit on it. "I'm so glad you took out your hair an glasses, why do you wear those?" John asked.

"So people don't notice me." I simply say as he brushes my hair. "It's so beautiful though, mm shall we put it up in pigtails or just curl the ends?" he asks, I shrug because I honestly didn't care what it looked like. "So I can do anything then?" he asks.

"Sure, but make me the laughing stock and I'll kill you." I jokingly said, well half jokingly. He laughs and I guess he's going to curl my ends.

"Why did you guys choose to be angels?" I ask.

"We're the exavt opposite of angels so we chose this." They both grin.

"Where's the irony in that?" I chuckle, they both laugh again, John finishes and holds up a mirror for me to see, surprisingly he did a really good job on it. "Does this mean I can have the first dance?" John asks with a happy smile. I chuckle and nod at the same time, he's a really good friend. No, they're both really good friends.
