It was finally the night of your party. You had decided that going to a Halloween dance was not your style and you would skip. You did know some people were going to that first and your house as the after party. Which you were fine with. It gives you more time to get ready.

You knew that you were going to dress up. Halloween was always one of your favorite holidays. What you were going to dress up as was still a mystery. You had options to go sexy, funny, scary. Mean Girls was kind of right when they said girls only have so many options for costumes. While you liked going the funny route and a few times went the scary route; you have never really had a sexy costume. Which granted, you were still a teenager. But at the same time, you wanted to look good for this party.

The biggest reason you wanted to look good was 1.) Heather and Madison were coming and you knew they were the type to look good and you didn't want to be shown up. 2.) They were definitely going to take pictures since you were going to have the best party ever 3.) It was your 18th birthday and you were going to celebrate.

You also hadn't told anyone it was your 18th birthday. You never really liked your birthday anyways. Moving a lot meant no one was close enough to you to celebrate and those close to you (kinda?) like your Father were never around. It was luckily on Halloween of all days and that made your life so much easier. Birthdays on holidays meant you could just not stand out.

But it also meant that if Rodrick found out it was your birthday, you weren't sure what he would do. He was officially the first person to be close enough to you to celebrate a birthday. For now, you wanted to keep it secret because what if he overreacted and then tried to do something crazy? While Rodrick was not always the sentimental type, you figured he wouldn't have the critical thinking skills to realize that you, in fact, loved Halloween but hated your birthday.

You had decided to go with a mermaid costume. You wore a shimmering iridescent dress that came to mid-thigh. Not exactly mermaid-cut, but you looked hot. You had used gel to slick back your hair, making it look wet, as if you had just stepped out from the ocean. You had decided to bust out the old costume makeup and used fishnets and eye shadow to give yourself scales. You then placed tiny rhinestones around your eyes with little pearls. Hey, you liked to get dressed up every once in a while too.

You didn't know what anyone else was going to dress up as but you did say that people had to dress up. You also had no idea what Rodrick was going to go as. He seemed really excited about this party, but did say he regrets that you invited Greg and Rowley. You did explain to him several times that if you hadn't, they would have snitched that you spent the night at their house. In Rodrick's bed. With Rodrick. This was the best option at the time.

You were playing some Halloween songs quite loudly to get you excited for the occasion. You heard your phone ding just barely over the music and saw it was a text from Madison, who had somehow gotten your phone number two weeks ago. Somehow people got your phone number too and also asked for an invite. You had to ask Madison if they were 'cool' or 'uncool' to invite. She apparently knew everyone in the school and of course knew their entire life stories as well.

She sent you a picture of her costume which was what you imagined to be, a sexy deer. You thought about sending a picture back, but you wanted your costume to be a surprise. But you also liked the idea of having a friend who you could send pictures of your outfits to.

You quickly shake your head, trying to not overthink and take a picture in your floor length mirror and hit SEND. You then receive another text within two seconds of yours being delivered and this time it was a candid shot of Heather in a fairy costume. So they must be going for a woodland theme. Which sucks for you since yours is water-themed.
