halloween spirit week day 1
i set up my camera on the edge of my desk, careful to keep it angled low and out of our teacher's line of sight. "hi, hello, good morning, guys," i whispered into the mic, leaning close so my voice would be clear. "we're currently at business management class." i panned the camera slightly to capture camila, who was sitting next to me, focused on her glitter pen rather than the lecture. "it's honestly really boring, but! today's the first day of our school's 'halloween spirit week,' and i'm dressed as a fairy with my sisters, look."
i lifted my arm to show a hint of my costume without drawing too much attention. blue wings pinned to my back, subtle glitter dusting my cheeks, a blue flower crown on my hair, and a soft flowy lingerie-kinda-dress; just enough to give the spirit without going overboard in the classroom.
"i'll show you guys our costumes better when we're with my sisters at lunch." i finished with a quick smile, hitting pause before anyone noticed. normally, filming around school was fine, but this teacher had a serious issue with it, calling vlogging 'a waste of time and attention.'
i slid the camera back into my bag, catching camila's amused grin as i did. "you know she's going to flip if she catches you," she whispered.
"she won't," i mouthed back, hoping i was right.

nicole tilted the camera toward her and kenzie, flashing a wide grin. "hey guys! look at how cute we look!" she spun around, making her green fairy wings flutter in the light. kenzie followed suit, doing a little twirl to show off her costume; another fairy, but pink. "where's cam?" nicole asked, glancing around.
"asher asked her to take pictures of him. says he looks 'too good' in his werewolf costume," kenzie replied, rolling her eyes.
"he's barely wearing a shirt," nicole scoffed, raising her eyebrows.
mackenzie shrugged, unfazed. "you know asher. his ego's practically a separate entity by now."
just as she finished, camille came bounding across the courtyard with her camera in hand, a small smile playing on her lips. you guys missed the asher one-man modeling show. i swear, if he flexed one more time, his bicep was gonna burst out of that sad excuse for a costume." she said, slipping in between her sisters. "he's officially a menace."
