In the end

32

**That next Friday**

I wake up and hop in the shower. It's halloween so we're allowed to wear a small costume that will get judged later in the day. I usually go allllll out for this, but I'm so busy with softball that I sort of went everything last second. I sighed and looked in the mirror. I was beginning to stress out. I noticed my hair was a bit puffy from after the shower so I stuck my head under the cabinet and began digging through the old hair products. I discovered an old make up box from when I was younger, a Kim Possible box. I smiled and decided I'd be Kim Possible.

I blew dried my hair and straightened it, considering I'm up early for once in my life. I ran down stairs in my pajamas that found their way back onto my body, and decided to make breakfast for everyone. I was up before my dad..... this is terrifying. Anyways, I ran back upstairs while I waited on mine to cool and pulled on a pair of army green skinny jeans, a black long sleeved crop top, and a pair of black combat boots. I skipped down the stairs and almost began eating when Dylan came down the stairs.

"What are you doing?" He asks raising an eyebrow at me.

"Eating." I responded.

"Are you forgetting something?" He asks laughing a bit. I looked at him weird and then realized he was talking about my retainer still being in my mouth.

"Thanks bruh." I respond and he laughs. We eat our food while talking about this and that. I finish and run upstairs to brush my teeth. I skip to my wall length mirror and sit infront of it while I do my makeup. Concealer, a super thin line of eyeliner, tight line with black eyeliner, and mascara. I put on some chapstick on my already pink lips and smiled. I threw my back pack on over my shoulder and grabbed my phone. I was about to walk out the door when Dylan stopped me.

"Kim Possible wears a belt and gloves silly." He laughs and hands me a belt that he found from moms closet and a pair of small black gloves.

"Thanks Dylan." I smiled and he nodded.

"Are you gonna be home early tonight? I mean I know it's Halloween but still." He says and I cock an eye brow.

"Why do you ask?" I question.

"Because it's your birthday.... and we usually go to the movies and go party for you... But we can't tomorrow because you have a softball tournament." He states obviously. I laughed at myself for forgetting my own birthday and told him we can do something tomorrow before or after the tournament. He gave me a ride to school and dropped me off at the front of the school. I waved goodbye and plugged my headphones in as I walked towards the school. The front doors were locked. Hmmph... weird.

I walked around to the side doors, still jamming to mix that was playing and had adjusted the belt so it was angled sideways. I smiled and tried to open the doors again. No luck. I shrugged and danced to the other doors not that far away. I had gone through a couple songs and was becoming annoyed. I groaned and pulled my phone out of my back pocket. School doors open at 7:45 and it is indeed 8:27. School starts at 8:35. I saw a group of girls open a door from the inside giggling. I ran up and snuck through them and skipped to my locker. I got a lot of hellos and how are yous as I skipped through everyone.

A few people gave me a subtle Happy Birthday, but I didn't care, I wanted to go trick or treating. I skipped to my locker and opened it quickly. I was attacked by ping pong balls and a giant teddy bear fell out of my locker and onto me. I smiled widely and saw a Happy Birthday card. I opened the card after putting away my binders and useless items and collecting the stuff I needed for 1st period.
