me and ash decided to do our hair and makeup first before putting on our costumes, so we could surprise each other later. as i drew on my eyeliner, ash looked over at me. "soooo, you wanna tell me about how you and sal hung out alone?"
i rolled my eyes. "we've hung out multiple times. we were just talking."
her eyes widened. "multiple???" a smile grew on her face. "and you are sureee nothing happened?"
"no."
she laughed and went back to dipping a brush in an eyeshadow pot. "i think that's cute though. go you!"
"whatever. he's.... a friend."
"i believe you. but like.. everyone says that when something like this happens! and c'mon y/n, did you see how nervous you got earlier?"
"i wasn't nervous. just, like.. explaining myself."
"you stuttered, y/n. you never stutter. you're usually pretty collected."
"okay well....." i tried to conjure up something to rebuttal her, but nothing came out. "whatever! it doesn't matter."
"if you like sal, you know you can tell me right? i won't snitch."
i thought for a moment. did i like him? i had honestly been brushing it off whenever the thought crossed my mind. having a boyfriend again made me feel sick. especially after the nightmare that is adrian. "..i don't know."
ash was silent for a moment. usually a sign that she was thinking. "alright. but when you do know, tell me." she rubbed my shoulder while adding fake blood to her face.
"i will, don't worry." after applying my lipgloss and adding some fake blood and cuts as well, i looked at myself in the mirror. "i think i'm done, are you?"
ash fluffed her hair and then nodded. "yup! okay c'mon, i really really really wanna show you my costume!" she grabbed my hands and pulled me up.
i laughed and let her pull me up. "okay okay! here, you can change in here, i'll change in the bathroom. i'll knock when i'm done, just tell me when you're ready."
she nodded, and i grabbed my costume from my closet and opened the door to the bathroom down the hall.
it made me sad that i had to take off my cute outfit, but it was going to be so worth it in the end.

i looked at myself in the mirror and smoothed my outfit. i was pretty proud of my costume.
i opened the bathroom door and walked over to my room, and knocked. "you done in there?"
"just a sec!"
i waited for a few more seconds and then heard her call out. "you can come in now!"
as we admired each others outfits, we both looked very impressed. ash was dressed as carrie, and wore a bloody silk dress with a sash and crown. it was perfect.
