A Romeo And Juliet Kind Of Story

Chapter 7

(Can't find anyone that looks like Chloe's dad) :/ Sorry! But here's an idea of what Chloe's costume is

********************************************************************************************

CHLOE POV

"Oh my gosh Chloe! You should totally wear this!" Trina squealed, holding up a costume that even sluts wouldn't wear.

"Hell no Trina, compared to that thing, I might as well go nude."

We were at Verona's local costume shop, class ended long ago and Trina and pulled me away to go shopping. I remember Jared's face as we walked away, he looked bummed. I then began to blush as last night's events came to me.

"Why are you blushing? Thinking about what Jared might think or do to you when he sees you in this?"

"What!? No!" I pushed the costume away, "Let's find something less slutty."

We walked around the store, looking at all the cheesy masks and fake blood.

"Do you even know what you want to be?" she asked, "Are you two gonna be the same thing? Or...?"

"I never really put much thought into it," I admitted with a shrug.

"Okay, text him right now, see what he's thinking."

I grabbed my phone from my purse I had and dialed Jared's number. It rang once before he picked it up.

"Chloe?"

"Hi," I greeted.

"Hey, what's up?"

"Nothing much, it's just Trina here's trying to make me a stripper because I- we haven't decided our costumes yet."

"Stripper sounds nice," Jared said, "As long as I can be the pole."

"Jared!" I hissed into the phone, blushing uncontrollably.

He chuckled and replied, "Alright alright... I was thinking we could match, you know, so we don't lose eachother?"

"Okay, fine... ideas?"

"Gangsters," he instantly answered.

"Wow, that didn't take much thought."

"Thanks, I'm smart that way."

"And highly annoying," I muttered.

"Ha ha, well enjoy your shopping spree with Trina, I'll see you at my place after words?"

I was blushing once more and I nodded, then realized he couldn't see so told him, "Yeah, sure."

"Cool, bye Princess," we hung up.

"So, what is it?" Trina asked, her back to me as she scanned the shelves.

"He said gangsters."

She giggled and turned to me, her hands giving a little clap.

"Oh that's so cute! You two could be the smoking hot badass duo!"

I rolled my eyes and headed over the the hat section. There tons, jester hats, bunny ear bands, top hats. I looked around more until I found a dark gray fedora. I put it on and turned to Trina.

"Well?"

She put her hand on her chin as if deep in thought and studied me. Then she nodded and smiled.

"Yes, perfect, I know exactly what this needs."

She darted around the shop, grabbing items left and right, soon she came back to me and handed the items to me.
