I wake up to the distant sound of ringing in my room, forcing me to get up. Groggily, I rub my eyes lazily as I unlock my phone, swiping the green symbol across the screen.
"Hhello?" I answer, still in a daze.
"Hey girl, we're still meeting up later at 3 to get you a costume for the party right?"
Crap, so the Halloween party was today. I vaguely remember being handed an orange paper by one of my classmates a week ago, but it had slipped to the back of my mind. I answer her with a calm voice, hopefully indicating I'm ready to be there:
"Yup.."
"Perfect! see you later byee." Ino chirps before abruptly hanging up
I swiped out of messages and take a glance at the time, "12:00 PM"
It's not that I'm in a rush— I have plenty of time, but It's twelve?? I wonder how I slept for so long? My mind traces back to yesterday, piecing back everything:
If I remember correctly, Sasukes older brother—Itachi drove us home from the library, huh. It's a bit hazy, maybe I really did need that nap.
I relax for a bit, clearing my mind as I later throw on a baggy off-the-shoulder sweater and some jeans, letting my hair loose today. It's just a quick trip to the mall; the make up and dressing up can happen later at Inos.
After a quick breakfast I wait on the couch for my mom to finish her daily crossword, I swear she takes her sweet time on purpose.
Finally, we get in the car and by 3:10 im waving goodbye to my mom as she goes her separate way, surprisingly trusting me to go alone.
My eyes dart back and forth as I realize I don't see a familiar blondie here. Where is Ino??
Just as I look for her, someone comes up behind me and grabs my shoulder, making me jump and squeal.
"Surprise!" Ino laughs, her voice full of mischief.
"Ino, you scared the shit out of me!" I said seriously, clutching at my chest.
"Gosh relax up will you, the party is todayyy!" She says in a singing voice.
"What are you going as?" I questioned breathlessly.
"A vampire, duhh" she said matter-of-factly. "The real question is, what are you going to do?"
"Hmm.." I hold my chin, there were almost no Halloween costumes left the day of, so I would just have to put together my own.
