Charlie's POV:

Now, I didn't feel bad about interrogating Sloane. She needed to know her place. That 'push' she gave me was probably trying to put me in mine. Honestly, I don't know why I'm letting her ruin everything. Games started in less than 3 months, plenty of time to get her off the team. Everything would return to normal. Just the originals.

Tonight, for the Halloween bash, all of the team were planning to wear our goodwill games jersey's. It would really establish a high status, I mean we were team USA after all. After practice we all got ready and met up in the quad. All of us had showered and cleaned up nice, Connie and Julie even curled their hair somehow. The school made a good Halloween themed dinner with Witches brew root beer, and some other fun foods.

Adam, Julie, Connie and I were talking. I noticed Adam and Julie had gotten weirdly close over the last few months, almost a little flirty. I wasn't surprised, though. He sort of ogled at her last year too.

"I'm so excited for christmas!" Connie said out of nowhere.

"It's only the end of October, Connie. We got a little bit of a wait." I responded laughing.

"Right....but its something to look forward to."

"Yeah!" Julie said agreeing.

"Dorks..." Adam muttered.

We continued to talk and eat dinner when out of the blue, Dean started yelling.

"WOAH! JULIET HUH?"

Julie looked around it confusion, "Me with a T? Who?" She questioned. We all then realized what was going on. Two figures walked out from underneath an oak tree, into the light. You've got to be kidding me.

Sloane's POV:

I had gotten dressed and ready, put my dress on, did my makeup, and then my hair. It was simple. Mascara, Blush, a little eyeshadow, then hair in a half up-half down braid crown. I felt pretty, and for the first time in about 2 months, I was really going all out to enjoy myself.

Finally, came a knock at my door. I opened it to see my romeo......Scooter. We started talking at the same time as I could barely hold it in. The shoes he was wearing were absolutely ridiculous.

"You-" We both said.

"Sorry, you first." He said as we walked down the hall.

"You look quite amusing good sir." I said, imitating old talk.

"Oh shut up!" He said, slightly pushing me. I laughed out loud stepping into the elevator.

"You look gorgeous Sloane."

"Thy chivalry tis nay deceased."

We poked fun at olden speech all the way down to the bash. I was laughing incredibly hard when we arrived. We walked under the trees, and the first person I saw was Dean. He got the reference right away as we were in the same English class.

"WOAH! JULIET HUH?" His loud yelling gained a little too much attention, and lots of heads turned. Julie, Connie, Adam, and Charlie came through to see the commotion. The expressions on their faces ranged from upset to extremely happy.

Julie and Connie nearly pushed Scooter over as they ran to me.

"Sloane! Oh my god you look so great! Connie, we should've gone with a prettier costume. The boys just made us wear the goodwill jerseys." Julie said,

"Oh come on guys you look gorgeous! This outfit was actually planned by Scott. English homework makes everyone real innovative apparently."

I could tell Charlie and Adam overheard that and viciously rolled their eyes. The rest of the guys were just trying not to get involved. I didn't blame them. The tension was kinda thick.
