CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE
COSTUMES

Kimmy, Aaron, Dustin and Lucas were crouched behind a car, waiting for Max to arrive at the arcade.

Despite Kimmy knowing that Max was MadMax, she didn't tell the boys, finding it to be much more amusing to watch them figure it out for themselves.

Lucas and Dustin were hunched over the car with a pair of binoculars that they shared, whereas Kimmy and Aaron were sat side by side leaning against the car with their legs out in front of them. Neither of the two caring if Max was at the arcade or not.

Dustin and Lucas hadn't told the two with them what they'd be doing, leaving Kimmy and Aaron bored out of their minds.

"Still no sign?" Dustin asked, sounding tired.

"Jack shit," Lucas muttered in response as he looked around with his binoculars.

"Oh, damn it." Dustin groaned in annoyance, huffing dramatically as he spoke. "Look at the time, my mom's gonna murder me-"

"So go home." Lucas was quick to dismiss, a faux sense of sincerity to his words. "I'll radio if she comes-"

"Nice try." Dustin scoffed. "You just want me out of here so you can make your move."

"Oh, 'cause you're such a threat." Lucas retorted sarcastically, removing the binoculars from his face as he rolled his eyes.

"That's right," Dustin nodded, purring slightly as he showed off his new fake teeth. "She will not be able to resist these pearls."

"Guys," Aaron huffed from next to Kimmy, messing around with the bottom of his sweater out of pure boredom. "Can we do something else? I'm bored."

"No." The two replied instantly, causing Aaron to groan in annoyance. "We need to catch her-"

"Jesus christ," Aaron rolled his eyes, turning to look up at the two despite the fact they weren't looking at him. "You sound like perverts-"

"No we don't." Dustin was quick to protest, shaking his head in offence, yet still never looked to Aaron. "We are children, how can we be perverts?"

"Fine, whatever," Aaron mumbled, leaning his head against the car door looking incredibly bored. "You're perverts in the making, I don't know-"

"Ten o'clock!" Dustin practically screeched, cutting Aaron off as he repetitively smacked Lucas' arm to get his attention. "Ten o'clock!"

Lucas was quick to bring the binoculars back up to his face searching to try find the girl, he soon did.

"They're arguing, they're arguing!" Lucas blurted, sounding excited, much to Kimmy's confusion.

"Oh, my god!" Dustin gasped, leaning further over the car to get a better view.

"Guys, Aaron's right." Kimmy said gently, turning to gaze up at her two friends. "Do you want to go do something else?"

"No." The two replied instantly, still not looking down at the two sitting against the car.

Kimmy sighed, rolling her eyes as she tried again. "We could get ice cream?"

"Yes, thank you!" Aaron exclaimed, raising and dropping his hands down dramatically as if to prove his point. "This is so boring."

The two boys didn't answer, still watching the girl from afar before rushing away. Kimmy and Aaron looked at each other confused, stumbling to stand and looking over the car at their friends.
