I WAS GENUINELY SO surprised that my parents agreed to let me go to Allison's party.
"Are you guys screwing with me?" I asked in honest-to-god confusion.
"As long as you take your brother, you can go." Mom confirmed, as she and dad filled the candy bowl for the trick-or-treaters. She and dad were dressed like Adam and Barbara from Beetlejuice.
"Go get changed, Eds." I sighed, pointing towards his room. "And please hurry up I don't want to be late."

Rolling up to a party with my little brother, dressed up as Scarlet Witch and a plague doctor, was definitely an unexpected twist to my night.
I knocked on the door of the Biddle house, before addressing Eddie. "No drinking for either of us, okay? Me, because I'm Designated Driver and you, because you're fifteen."
"Yeah, I'd rather not get mauled by mom for showing up drunk." He admitted with a shrug.
"Plus we have a deal, no alcohol until you're seventeen and have a sober DD." I reminded, as the door opened, revealing the mic drop kid from the pep rally.
"Hey, new girl! You're early, you know that right?" He laughed, letting us in.
"Yeah, I have a habit of helping set up parties and we brought sustenance." I joked, holding up the shopping bag containing spicy nacho doritos and puffy cheetos.
"Y'all are officially cool." He joked, before continuing. "I'm Isaiah, by the way. Not sure if Allison told you about the group."
"I'm Sue and this is my brother Eddie, he's my pass to actually be able to come to the party per our mom's orders."
"Hey, man." Eddie greeted, adjusting the plague mask to the top of his head.
"Hey, little dude." Isaiah nodded in greeting.
"What exactly are you supposed to be dressed as?" I asked in genuine confusion, motioning between the blonde wig and cargo shorts.
"I'm Thor!" He grinned holding up the construction hammer.
"In cargo shorts?" Eddie questioned in just as much confusion.
"That's what I said!" Allison exclaimed, as we joined her and a boy in a cat costume. "Thank you, random child!"
"Allison, this is my brother, Eddie." I introduced simply. "The only way our parents let me come to this thing is if Eddie tagged along."
