"Ophelia," Cory calls, "you look like a total babe."

"Don't you think it's too much?" I glance at myself in the mirror. I'm wearing a short off-white flow dress with a brown lace up corset over top of it, fishnet stockings with black heeled boots that go up to my thigh. On my head, I have a silky bandana with small braids in random places in my hair. Topanga let me borrow a bunch of chunky gold rings and bracelets, and I brought a long gold chain from home. My lips are a dark red and I have a bold, thick eyeliner cat eye with gold eyeshadow.

"It's Halloween," Topanga reminds me, "It's perfect."

I thank the both of them, and then pick my camera up to take pictures of them together. I figured tonight would be a great night to use my camera, since I have not in a while.

"Okay, now Cory get on Topanga's back," I joke, but Cory takes this request seriously and jumps on her back.

I take a picture at the two laughing at each other, reminding myself to give them this picture once it dries.

"Let me take one of you and Topanga," Cory puts his hand out for my camera. I hand it over to him and stand next to Topanga.

She wraps her arms around me and smiles widely, me doing the same. "Say cheese!"

I smile until he takes two of the same picture, letting go and going to look at the polaroid. It's a great picture, I hand one to Topanga for her to keep.

"You two are adorable," Cory smiles at the photos.

We all agree and then decide to take a shot before walking over to Shawn's apartment. I throw the shot of vodka back, and grab my bag so that I'm prepared to go.

We quickly make it to the boys apartment and start our rounds of saying hello to everyone.

I spot the two older boys that live here and head in their direction. Eric's back is to me so Jack sees me first, "You look fucking amazing."

Eric's dressed as Dracula, and Jack is dressed up as Frankenstein's monster, sans the green.

Eric's head whips around and his eyes find mine quickly, "Ophelia, you continue to make me shocked by your beauty."

I walk over and hug them both, "That was so corny."

"Where's my brother?" I point in the direction of Cory and allow Eric to go say hello to his sibling.

Jack takes my hand and leads me to the drink table where the cauldron I picked out yesterday is filled with juice. "There is not a lot of vodka in it though, make sure you pour some in your cup. We're not telling everyone else, we figured it would save more for us."

He pours me a cup with juice and vodka and hands it over. I talk to him for a bit until Topanga walks over and interrupts, "Ophelia, I'm sorry in advance. I completely forgot."

I'm about to ask what she forgot, when Shawn Hunter emerges from his bedroom dressed up as a pirate. Mother. Fucker.

I make eye contact with Topanga and she smiles sheepishly, "I guess you are matching with someone."

I shake my head and smile at her, showing her I'm not mad. I down the rest of my drinking, not feeling anything yet and pour a little extra vodka in my next cup.

Walking to the middle of the room, Topanga follows and we start dancing together. A couple of people join in and soon we have a group dancing together. I sway to the music, feeling someone behind me swaying with me. I face the person and see a boy that's the same age as Eric. I recognize him from high school.

We don't say anything, just continue dancing against each other. I turn back around so my back is against his chest. In an instant, my back is no longer against him.
