IT WAS HALLOWEEN SEASON, WHICH MEANT ALCOHOL, PARTIES, SLUTTY COSTUMES, AND A SHIT TON OF SUGAR. So obviously it was June's favorite time of year.

'While we're all looking forward to the Halloween dance, let's make sure our costumes are culturally sensitive. For example, instead of "sexy nurse," maybe try "gender-neutral hospital employee"."

"I'd be a hot gender-neutral hospital employee," June stated, a little louder than intended. There were some whistles and laughs, and one "yeah you would" across the cafeteria.

The teacher awkwardly cleared her throat and continued droning on about the dance. Aisha swiveled her chair and faced the girls.

"Hey, I got a great idea for our costumes this year." She spoke to Sam. "I was thinking... I go as sodium, and you go as chloride. And when people ask what we are, we do this." She grabbed the salt shaker, spilling some on the ground.

"What is that, some dumb inside joke you guys have?" Yasmin butted in. How unexpected.

"I mean, it's not really "inside." Sodium chloride is table salt."

"We actually decided to go as Laker girls," Sam responded.

Aisha, Sam, and June had met each other on the first day of elementary school. Some boys had been picking on Aisha, stealing her lunch, and kicking sand at her on the playground.

June had seen this and ran to help. "Stop being meanies!" She screamed at the boys, who only laughed in response, just as they were about to take June's bag, Sam went up to them.

"If you don't stop, my dad will hurt you, he knows karate." To further illustrate her point, she put herself in a fighting position. This seemed to do it as the boys walked away. The two helped Aisha up, dusting off her sandy knees.

"Thanks." She said. "I didn't know you knew karate."

Sam laughed. "I don't."

That was the day the Powerpuff Girls were created. But then high school came around.

"Oh." Aisha was obviously disappointed.

"I'll be your chloride," June said. Powerpuffs stick together.

"That's the sweetest thing anyone has ever said to me." She joked, her mood lifting.

"I have one condition though, I get to be sexy chloride."

"How can you make a chemical compound sexy?"

"I have my ways." The two laughed.

Before they could plan the rest of their costume, the new kid came up to June. She had been asked out quite a lot of times, most of them by nervous, shy guys who kept fidgeting with their hands. But he was weirdly confident for the new guy.

"Hey." He greeted.

"Hey, new guy." June smiled.

"It's Miguel. Miguel Diaz." Pretty name. Pretty guy.
