Deathly Private

Chapter Four: The Queen

        "Alright girls, we are going to play a nice, and fair game of soccer. Number one's join up and decided positions, number twos do the same." Coach Margot said. She was burly woman, broad shoulders, with short curly hair and hard jaw. Carter and Emma quickly got with their team. 

        "Okay Emma, is goalie, Carter you are starter..." One of the girls, Rachel, quickly handed out positions. Emma took the gloves and quickly got into goal. The game started shortly after. It was pretty tough, the two teams staying neck and neck the entire time. Emma had blocked and caught countless balls, only letting one slip through her fingers. By the end of the class, they had won the game 2-1. 

        Breathing heavily, and sweating bullets, the girls went inside and took quick showers before the next class period. When the school day was finally over, everyone gathered in the cafeteria, tired and hungry. Emma and Carter each got a hamburger and double side of fries. The girls all sat at their table, gossiping as usual. 

        "So I went to the Student Council meeting today, and found out the next planned trip." A scrawny girl, Emma had still not been able to remember the name of. "It seems it's going to be a shopping trip and a Halloween Fair thing. It sounds pretty awesome." She spoke nervously as the entire table was staring at her in anticipation. Chitter-chatter erupted across the table. Carter immediately turned to Emma, clutching at her elbow. 

        "What do you want to be?" She asked. Emma bit her lip, she hadn't even realized that Halloween was so close. She also knew that her budget would be tight, as she didn't plan for shopping trips at a private school. 

        "Well usually, I dress up as historical figures such as Mary Queen of Scotts--"

        Carter cut off Emma, "You are not dressing up as some stuffy figure head, okay? Halloween is the one time during the year, modest girls are allowed to be sluts. Well look like one anyways, what you do behind a close door is up to you." She winked. 

        Emma rolled her eyes, "I guess we'll see." 

        At the end of dinner there was a tap of a microphone, coming from the small stage often used for announcements and debates. The principal stood there, in a blush-pink suit. "Hello my brilliant students! I am here to congratulate you, for be such wonderful students, and abiding by the rules with no hiccups. So in return of being so well-behaved, the school board and parents have agreed to fund  Halloween Fair! There will be many activities, such as a horror house, roller coaster, and many fun fair games!"

        There was a slow rumble of approval through out the crowd of students. "Also we will be taking two shopping trips. Freshman and sophomores will go one day and juniors and seniors the other day. We will be traveling to Gatlinburg, which is only about an hour and half drive. So please make the proper preparations, as Saturday will be upperclassman and underclassman will go Sunday. Thank you guys, and keep up the good work." She smiled stiffly and walked off the stage handing the mic off to someone. 

        Emma contemplated what she was going to wear, while walking with Carter up stairs. She stopped at her door and said good night to Carter and then went in. Emma quickly fell into her normal routine of, showering, changing into pajamas and finishing homework before going to bed. When she was done with her homework she grabbed her laptop and laid down in bed. 

        "Halloween costumes...." She said while typing it into the search bar. 

        Quickly she slammed down the screen, as there were many inappropriate costumes, that made her feel uncomfortable. Great...I'm gonna look like a slut....she fell asleep dreading this upcoming weekend.
