Milo and Me

Lane

Her room was an explosion of clothes and miscellaneous items. Violet's mom liked to say that her room was something to fear but she disagreed calling it "organized chaos". She forced herself out of bed tripping over the sea of clothes barely making it to her dresser.
She began to apply her concealer packing it gently onto her face when her phone buzzed catching her attention. She put her beauty blender down and swiftly putting in her passcode to reveal an unexpected text.
Lane?
Lane was the boy that she had been smitten about, she knew everything about him. What his favourite movies were, how he preferred his pizza  (in slices not in squares), she even memorized how his laugh sounded, it was stuck in her mind like a song on the radio. She pressed on the message, butterflies fluttering in her stomach.
Lane: Are you going to Lacy's party tonight?
Shit!
Lacy had thrown a halloween party every October for the last three years, everyone went to her parties. It had totally slipped Violet's mind.
Violet: Yes! wouldn't miss it 😊
Lane: Good :) Wouldn't wanna go if you weren't gonna be there..
Violet was internally freaking out, kicking her feet around in excitement.

Violet arrived at school basically plowing through the door to spill to Nala about the text she had received this morning. Nala and Violet had been friends ever since the third grade. Violet had just transferred schools after her father's death and Nala was the first to welcome her.
She met up with her friend instantly spotting Lane in the crowd. "Girl who are you looking at??" Nala asked looking around the hallway catching a glimpse of the blonde hair in the crowd. "Girl he's nice to look at but he's kind of a jerk.." "But he's nice with me, and i think he really likes me."  Violet whined. "Okay girl..But I'm warning you if he stops playing nice I'm gonna say something." Nala warned. "He's coming over here!! What do i say?!" Violet began to panic fixing her fair nervously. "Don't panic!" Nala walked away giving them a playful glance. "Hey V."  Violets heart fluttered. She loved it when he called her that. "Hey! excited for tonight?" she asked.  "Yeah it's gonna be a blasttt! What are you planning on being?"  Shit.
She had completely forgotten that costumes were required.  "I'm not sure yet." she smiled lightly. "Well...uh maybe you could be mine?"
Violet blushed hard, social anxiety engulfed her. Nala, still watching them, rolled her eyes and made a gagging motion with her fingers.
What was Violet supposed to say? "Are you okay?" Layne asked with a worried expression.  "Yeah! Uh i'm late so um..see you tonight!" She rushed off wishing she could go into hiding. Nala basically tripped over her feet trying to catch up with her awkward friend. "Bro what the heck was that?? 'You could be mine.' UGH gag me." Violet shrugged her off giving her a glare. "Sorry." Nala apologized and Violet put her arm around her best friend giving her a quick squeeze and walked into class.
