When I arrived at school this morning, I was surprised to see a note on my locker from Chloe and Jenny

NIKKI,
GUESS WHO'S GOING TO THE HALLOWEEN DANCE?! MEET US IN THE JANITOR'S CLOSET ASAP!!
CHLOE +
ZOEY

The janitor's closet, that's a weird place to meet as I look around

I decided to take the note down and throw it in the trash

As soon as I stepped inside, I could tell Chloe and Jenny were super excited

"Guess who's going I the Halloween dance?!!" Jenny says excitedly

"Um... who?" I asked

Jenny has already received loads of invitations but turn them down, same with Chloe with two guys asking her

But at the end they decided to decline them and go together as friends

"Since we going together I arranged for a guy to be your date! Sort of!" Jenny squealed

"sort of? What do you mean....."

I didn't like the sound of it

I was already starting to get a really bad feeling about this guy thing

That's when Chloe and Jenny explained their crazy plan for how I was gonna get a date

All in just five easy steps:

Step 1: I was going to join Jenny in the Halloween dance clean up crew

Step 2: We all was gonna arrive at the dance half a hour early

Step 3: We quickly spread the rumor that one of the guys onstage with the band is my date (even though it's clearly a lie)

Step 4: Since the band is going to be busy performing the entire night, I didn't have to worry about it

Step 5: we'll have FUN as the CCP gossip about my date

This plan was Almost as bizarre as the one where they were going to run away and live in the street underground tunnels of the New York City public Library

"Hold up Hold up"

"I appreciate the idea of not wanting me to be a third wheel or feel left out but I only have one guy in mind and that is Brandon" I claim

The dangerous part is that the whole thing could easily backfire and ruin our reputation

Jenny was part of the CCP herself so she be fine but for us

Chloe was the fifth unpopular girl well I was all the way at the bottom being eighth even the janitor and lunch lady was more popular than me

Since there would be a substantial risk I could end up more unpopular than black mold, we definitely needed a better idea

"Okay I think this entire this is out of portion, this is totally lame let's just drop it"

Chloe and Jenny got really quiet and just stood there staring at me, alarmist surprised

Despite the other part I still decided to sign up and help Jenny, and so did Chloe

The sign up sheets for the Halloween dance committee were posted on the bulletin board right outside the office door

Lucky for us only Jenny and a guy named Sebastian signed up

The thing that really bothered me though was the sign up for the chair person of the Halloween dance committee

Half of the names was crossed out, I beta the name Mackenzie had something to do with it

She was always competitive even resorting into cheating if she had to, so it wouldn't surprise me

I prayed that violet baker or Theodore Swagmire be selected as chairperson

Otherwise the clean up crew was going to turn into the worst
