chapter two: and the world comes crashing down
╚══════✮❁•°♛°•❁✮══════╝
SERENITY STOOD IN front of her closet, her eyebrows knit together in thought. Her hands were placed upon her hips and her eyes were scanning across all of her clothes. Turns out, she was right. Steve had insisted Serenity go to this Halloween party, promising her that she would have fun with him and Nancy.
Now, Serenity didn't want to be the third wheel at all, and Jonathan hadn't gotten back to her on if he was going or not. However, she decided to agree anyways. Hey, maybe she would take the advice Nancy gave to Jonathan and meet someone who could hopefully make her forget her embarrassing and totally pathetic crush on Steve. Steve had been ecstatic about her going and told her he would pick her up on the way.
And now was the more pressing issue. She didn't have a Halloween costume.
She should've been more prepared. Serenity should've known that something like this would've happened. Yet here she was, looking in her closet when she knew there was really nothing that she could do.
Her eyes scanned around the rest of her room in effort to give her some more ideas. There was her bookshelf, but she didn't know what book character she would go as. Her homework discarded on the ground (she's usually a good student, but Halloween night is an exception) wouldn't help her, unless she wanted to go as a square root. And it was way too late to plan to be a movie character from one of the posters on her wall.
Finally, her eyes set on a small tiara on the top of her dresser. The boys had given it to her about a year ago, claiming that even though she didn't play D&D with them, she was still the so-called Princess of their Party. Serenity hadn't worn the tiara at all, leaving it on her dresser as a momentum to her boys. However, considering desperate times called for desperate measures . . .
"Screw it," Serenity whispered.
She turned back to her closet. Serenity shuffled through her dresses for a moment until she settled on a pink dress that had spaghetti straps and silver gems on it. She took off her sweatshirt and jeans, swapping them for the dress. It was a little short, but hey, it was Halloween. Serenity then bent down and grabbed her pair of small silver heels. They weren't high at all since she knew she would be on her feet all night. She got the crown from on top of the dresser.
