dear delilah,
i have no words. so I'm going to take one biiig long giant breath and start from yesterday morning. pheeeew. haven't talked to maggie yet about this wow I'm freaking out. fuck.

the beginning. so on wednesday harry tells us about his brother's halloween party. and we'll be the only 9th graders there, everyone else i think is a junior or a senior. but we are super happy we are going to a bug major high school party. so we ask our parents. nope. because "you'll get drunk" "someone will take advantage with you" "its a highschool party" well i mean DUH. MOM IM IN FREAKING HIGHSCHOOL!! i should be able to go to one of the fucking highschool parties.

so i figure out a way to get us to that party. thursday we get costumes. and we make sure to get costumes that are full body non revealing. so we are twin kitties cuz thats all cutesy and shit. so friday is party night. i know i was pretty bummed that we wouldn't be able to trick or treat but hey high school party.
so at 11:30 i climb out my window in costume and head over to your house, where i help you climb down the window. and i feel like a prince charming and your hand touching mine sends tingles everywhere. but we walk over to harry's house where he is waiting for us at the door. so we go in and
OH SHIT!
its midnight and i hear my mom
bye,
jade
ps continue story tomorrow!!

Dear Jade,

I'm confused.

Very

Confused

And I don't know what to write but I guess I'll tell of what happened.

On Wednesday we were at my locker, talking about the play and what not when Harry comes over. I still haven't totally forgiven him but he smiled at you so I was fine and didn't give him a cold smile. He told us that his brother was having a Halloween party and he wanted us to come. He said he needed help pulling pranks on the older high schoolers. It sounded totally up our alley so right away we agreed.

When I got home I asked my mom, distracted by "Say Yes to The Dress" if I could go. She gave me her usual "yes, yes, of course Delilah" and made a swatting motion with her hand, indicating that I was blocking the TV and had to move.

I walked upstairs to find my sister in her Halloween costume.

I wouldn't even call it a costume.

She was dressed in basically underwear and had a tail and ears on. I was so revolted by it. I quickly sat on my bed, trying not to stare at her. It's so weird how different we are as sisters. I looked down at my own clothes. A sweater and jeans. Marie was checking herself out in the mirror when she finally saw me.

"DELIAH!!!!" She yelled running across the room to hug me. Trust me it was a weird hug.

"What do you think of my costume?"

"Ummm what are you?"

"A bunny. Duh" She said indicating towards her ears.

Thankfully she decided to put on some clothes when she heard the TV being switched off. Mom would never let her wear that. You then texted me saying your mom said no but you're going to sneak out of your window and wait for me. Thankfully you only live like a block away.

Costume shopping was fun. For some reason I kept getting tempted to get the more "adult" costumes but I knew I wouldn't like being in them. My body is nothing like my sisters for sure. We finally settled more cute kittens. We had black ears, shirt, tail, leggings, and boots.

I tried to do a little trick-or-treating before the party, but every adult wouldn't give me candy. I'm kinda bummed I'm "too old". Anyways, Marie gave me some huge cat eyes and whiskers. I could hardly recognize myself. At 11:35 I heard you calling out. Both Marie and I, I was actually sneaking out with my sister for once!!!, climbed down the window.

When you held my hand I could feel you shaking. Or maybe that was me. The confusion again!!!! You smiled at me so hugely like you were so happy with this. We hold hands all the time Jade!!!! I just ignored it and the beating of my heart and ran towards Harry's house with you and Marie on our tails (no pun intended).

It's like 2 am and I have a test tomorrow. I will write the rest tomorrow.

Your confused friend

Delilah
