chapter two:
the monster mash















FRIDAY: October 31st, 2027





"I look like a fucking dead possum" Claire's voice was loud and aggressive as she turned slightly to look at herself in the mirror. Alix chuckled softly as she approached the distressed girl from behind.

"At least you're a cute dead possum then" she wrapped her arms around Claire as she smiled softly. The girl sighed, Alix sighed back at her to lighten the mood as Claire sighed again. "Okay, no amount of sighing will make it look any better, why don't we just do a different costume? I mean you did black swan last year so ditch the feathers".

Clarie huffed "I barely wore it last year, besides we don't have anything that even remotely matches". Alix moved towards the bed and sat down "then we go buy something new, the party's not for another hour so we'd have time to find something then head there".

"Okay fine, but there's no way I'm dressing up as anything remotely furry. It's not cute at all. If I wanted to look like a dead possum, I'd be a dead possum". Claire moved away from the mirror as she looked outside her bedroom window, she could see the children wandering around outside. The sun was slowly fading away and the streets for the most part were empty aside from a few cars passing by.

"Do you really think everyone's gonna show? Benjamin didn't even show up last time we all were supposed to hang out, now Alexander is being awol and ignoring all of our messages. Everyone is drifting apart, and I thought that'd be a good thing".

"I think we're all still healing, I mean everything that happened last year is still fresh for some of us. They're only ignoring us because they're probably paranoid, besides it's the Halloween bash! Everyone always shows up for that, especially us".

Clarie smirked "and we're gonna look absolutely hot when we walk through those doors. This is our last dance at high school, we have to make the most of it before it's too late. No more ghostface drama, tonight is a ghostface free zone".








The entire gymnasium was loaded with teenagers, music blasted through the speakers and the bright lights flickered as smoke flew along the entrance way. Claire's arms were looped perfectly with Alixs as they walked through the tall arch where photos were being taken as students walked inside.

"What was that you said about no ghostface?" Alix whispered into Claire's ears as the camera flash went off. So many people wearing a ghostface mask wandered around the gymnasium holding onto orange solo cups, while a few wore the entire costume. The rest only put on the mask as if it was an inside joke, the sight of the mask made Alix feel uncomfortable.
