"ME" The Story of Lyric Rayne

Ariel and Eric

October 31, 2013

Today is Halloween and I am in no mood of partying or doing anything. But I do have to ambit that, that candy and chocolate sounds absolutely divine at the moment. Every year on Halloween my dad takes Nix, me, and Angie to go trick or treating. But this year I doubt that is going to happen. I don't even have a costume.

Later.

My phone rings and I get out of bed. Still in my PJs. I left Nix's house this morning super early so my dad would not completely freak. Even though I am pretty sure he knew where I went. I pick the phone to answer it.

'' Hello?'' My muffled voice cracked.

'' Come on get dressed. We are going to buy costumes. We are all going to go trick or treating. I invited You, Nix, Angie and Holden.'' Embry's voice ran super-fast as she talked. I tried to keep up. She was like race car as her words ran across the track.

'' Okay just pick me up in an hour.'' I hang up and go get in the shower. Blasting the music so loud I can't even her the water hitting the tile of shower. I dance around singing along to the music. In the back of my head I know everyone can hear me. But ha oh well. Getting out and seeing the steam fading the mirror. I slowly wipe the condensation away, slowly revealing me in the reflection. I stare at a moment. Thoughts begin to cloud me. I feel overwhelmed. I pull the towel around me and secure it, as I leave the bathroom. Leaving my staring reflection.

Nix- What are you wearing tonight to trick or treating? I mean should we match? Or should we not be that weird couple who are matchy.

I laugh when I see the text message. Wait! Hold up! Are we a couple? Like is this official?

Me- Well, I haven't given it much thought tbh... But are you saying we are dating?

Nix- Well I guess it does. I sort of wanted to ask you in person to be my girlfriend. But will you do me the honors of being my girlfriend?

My heart practically jumped out of my chest.

Me- Hell ya

I knew Nixxon would be laughing after that one.

Nix- Ooo! What if your Juiliet and Im Romeo?!

Me- Way too cheesy. But it is cute. I'll be ' hip' version of Ariel, and you can be maybe Eric.

Nix- Coolio! See you tonight beauty.

I giggle and throw on some clothes. I go downstairs sighing as I see my dad at the kitchen counter, he was the last person I wanted to see. We walk around each other like we are walking on egg shells. Scared of who will blow up first. I knew I was getting pretty close to exploding like World War III.

Me- Get here faster.

I quickly send to Embry as I ate my cereal really fast. Shoving it down my throat, till I heard the sound of Embry's car's honk.

'' See ya later dad, going to the mall with Embry.'' I yell to him as I ran out of the door.

'' Go!'' I yell to Embry.

'' I'm glad I don't live in your house at the moment. Sorry not sorry.''

A laugh at the statement. But it sadly it is true, our house is hell at the moment.

'' Okay any ideas of who you want to be?''

'' I think I will be sort of a 'hip' Ariel and Nix is gonna be Eric.''

'' That's going to be cool. So does this make you and Nix a thing now?'' Embry pries at. I blush and give a shrug.

'' I guess so.'' Smirking, I look for a green skirt, and a purple shirt in Forever 21.

'' You know they have little mermaid outfits.'' Embry tells me.

'' Ya but I don't want to wear a fin.'' We both giggled. '' So what are you going to be?''

'' I was thinking some badass girl. We can all go as Disney characters! I think I will just go with Merida from Brave.''

'' Dude yes!''

I look around the stores, I found a purple crop top with a green skirt. I looked everywhere for a seashell necklace I jumped for joy when I finally found it.

'' Hey lets go get some food.''

'' Ya sure.'' I agree with Embry. Walking into the food court the smell of all delicious food slams me in the face.

'' Mmm.'' We both hmm to the smell.

After both getting something to eat. We sit there in silence enjoying our pizza slices.

'' Embry?''

'' Ryan! Hey!'' Embry greets a tall boy with perfectly swopped brown hair.
