I've currently just gotten finished getting ready for the day which has started earlier than usual for one reason only. 

It's Halloween. 

Not that my costume is anything extreme I just had to put makeup on and figure out how to make the wig work which took around an hour or so. Noah wanted to do a couples costume that I wasn't opposed to since I didn't have an original plan for myself anyway. 

He suggested that we dress up as Roxanne and Max from the Goofy Movie which like I said, is not that bad. My costume consisted of a teal shirt, denim shorts which were shorter than I anticipated, and white shoes as well as a wig. The makeup was sorta just a beauty mark and her nose on top of mine. Overall, not too long of a time to get ready. 

You may also be wondering, why am I doing a couples costume? Well, Noah asked me to be his girlfriend about a week or so ago. He's overall just so sweet and I can work on the whole kissing thing with him. Turns out I am his first girlfriend. 

And as for other things well...I've sorta just been avoiding him at all costs. Him being Brendon. 

I have yet to return his jacket because I don't want him to somehow flip things and make us have a moment for some reason. I don't want to give him a chance to have power over me once again and with his charm, it's not hard to do. He's definitely tried to speak with me a lot but I've just ignored him and blocked his number. It's been roughly 3ish weeks since the whole bathroom at the movie's situation happened and I've just given myself all the space away from him that's needed.

At least that I thought was needed. 

I make my way down the stairs as I grab my bag looking over at my mother who just has Halloween colors on for work. She looks up from her phone and smiles. "Don't you just look so adorable today." she coos causing me to roll my eyes. 

"Well, thanks. I'm going to a Halloween Party tonight with Noah if that's alright. I'll probably end up sleeping over Harpers if it gets too late." I explain and she raises an eyebrow. "Will you be drinking at all?" 

With a confident smile and give her the simple answer of "I will try not to." which earned me a sigh in return. 

"Please don't end up wasted on the street."

I open my locker throwing my desired books of the day into my bag when I hear footsteps trudge up next to me with an excited squeal. Good to know Harpers here. 

"You look so cute!!!" she smiles looking at me her body jumping slightly with joy. I look over at her and nudge her while looking at her little getup. She decided she wanted to be a hippie so she's got everything you could imagine. Bell bottoms, the hippie sunglasses, a flower drawn on her face. The whole look. 

"Thank you, honey. You look awesome as well." I told her while closing my locker. We both carried on our conversation as we started walking to our American History class. As the hours go by I have yet to even see Noah once and it's kinda frustrating. What's the point of having a couple's costume if the couple isn't even in the room together. While walking through the halls I look over at one of the classrooms and finally spot Noah and he is talking to some girl in a very well done skeleton costume and I mean like, super professional looking. She looked great as well. She had a white bobbed wig and her makeup seriously was just breathtakingly good. 

I go to walk in and slowly come to the realization that he's talking to Sarah. Why the hell is every man I know also drawn to her? I feel a ping of jealousy pop up as I go over to him and tap his shoulder. He turns to look at me and he smiles realizing who I am. 

"Hey, there you are! I've been searching for you all morning!" 

Yeah, sure looks like it. 

He looks me up and down as he slowly wraps his arm around me "You look amazing." he ends up resting his hand on my hip. 

"Thanks. Ms.O you look stunning. I'm very impressed with the look." I say giving her a fake smile.  "Aw thank you Liz. I've been up since 4 this morning and I'm glad it came out well. You two look adorable. I'm glad I'm not the only one who decided to do matching costumes." she smiles happily. Wait what? 

"Oh, who are you matching with?" I ask feeling curious but I should've just known who she was going to say. 

"Mr.Urie. Just wait till you see him in class later!" She says happily going back over to her desk. Once again a wave of jealousy washes through me and I walk out of her classroom, Noah still glued to my side. 

"You alright Liz?" he asks looking at me. Am I alright? I keep having this consistent battle with myself over Brendon and it's getting exhausting. I try to just remove him from my life but he is always a thought in the back of my mind. 

"Yeah just a bit tired!"


A couple of hours later and I've now arrived at french class or well at least the outside of it. I turn to Noah and peck his lips gently. "I'll see you at the party later okay?" I smile and he nods before walking off. I sigh before walking into the room full of dressed-up teens and walk over to sit next to Harper, not moving my eyes away from the seat. I set my books down and look over at her and her face is glued to the front of the room. 

Just ignore him. 

I nudge her side shooting her out of her trance, causing a splash of red across her cheek. "O-Oh hey Liz. Sorry." 

I roll my eyes opening my notebook before hearing him clear his throat causing everyone in the room, including myself instinctually to look to the front of the room, and god damn. 

He was simply a male version of Sarah's costume just with a little less detail in the body. I check him out as he starts to go on about something in french and I've found myself back to square one, starring at him not paying attention. He was sexy in a way with the way his hair was slicked down and I watched as he looked over at me his eyes scanning my body as well stopping at my legs. He pauses for a moment before continuing and I can't help but blush. 

Someone please just have the day end.
