"You're actually making us do this?" I ask in disbelief. Nina nods her enthusiastically and intertwines her hand with Malik's. "How we getting there?" Maya asks stuffing her camera into her bag.
"We're walking" she states simply and drags Malik along with down the sidewalk. "What?" I look down at my heels ain't no way I'll make it it these. During school I'm sitting most of the time so I had no problem.
"It's like a 15 minute walk. Come on" Nina calls over her shoulder. Everyone had started walking behind them making conversation among themselves. I groan as Julian drags me along.
"So what are we dressing up as?" He asks me. Shrugging I reply "No idea, you were the one that wanted to do the contest in the first place"
"True, true" he mumbles "What about I dress up as a cop you dress up as a sexy cop" I punch him on the shoulder. "Ow!" He rubs his 'injured' shoulder "What was that for?"
" Why do girls always have to dress up as a 'sexy' something. You look at guys costumes and it's cop,doctor,judge. And then you look at the woman's sections and it's sexy cop, sexy doctor, sexy judge. It's absolutely ridiculous. I mean what about the girls that don't have want to have their tits and ass on display-not that there's anything wrong with that- but still. It's demeaning of woman and objectifies us" I huff out the last part.
A silent moment passed between us. "Sooo, you don't wanna dress up as something sexy.??" Julian asks awkwardly
"Don't be ridiculous, of course I want to dress up as something sexy. It's Halloween and it's our senior year you know. I just didn't want you to digest I wear something like that and make sure I was the one making the decision" I explain with a satisfied smile.
Julian eyes me in disbelief "You went on that whole rant just so you could tell me that you're dressing up as something sexy because you decided to and not because I suggested it. "
I nod "That would be correct"
"You are unbelievable " He ran his fingers though his hair "That whole thing just to make that one point"
"I'm you're " fake I mentally add "girlfriend. Deal with it"
"Oh, I will" I can already hear the smirk that will be on his face. "What are you-" I shriek as I'm lifted off the ground. Julian had thrown me over his shoulder. "Julian" I shriek trashing my legs and arms around trying to free myself from his grasp. "Put me down" I laugh shrieking.
"You have a nice ass, have I told you that before" he asks and I assume staring at my ass.
"Pervert" I mutter under my breath "and Put.Me.Down"
"I'm giving you a piggy back ride" he howls with laughter. "This is NOT a piggy back ride" I protest. "Julian!" I slap his back trying to get him to put me down.
"If I give you a proper piggy back ride will you stop abusing me?" Julian asks. I stop for a second "Abusing you?" I ask slightly offended
"Yes, abusing me. You've been slapping my back" he retorts "Cause you won't put me down on the ground" I huff.
He laughs under his breath. "Fine. Give me a proper piggy back ride but the second we get to that costume store you're putting me down"
"Yes, ma'am" he says in a sarcastic tone. I roll my eyes as he puts me down on the ground. I cross my arms as we stare at each other unmoving. "You do have a nice ass you know " Julian remarks.
"I swear to god Julian" I say disdainfully. "Well you know me" Yeah, I do
I walk behind him and wrap my arms around his neck. I jump up on his back and he grabs my legs to keep me from slipping off. Laying down my head to rest on his shoulders I close my eyes.
"We're here!" Calls Nina out excitedly. I open my eyes and Julian puts me down. "This is the costume store you were so excited about?" Maya asks unsure.
"Yup, I know it's not
Party City* and whatnot but trust. We'll find something here" Nina says with a knowing smile.
"All right" Maya said in a sing-song voice.
The shop was small and local. Different costumes and masks decorated the windows at the front. The open sign was flickering and the big letters on the roof were falling off.
"Come on" Nina chirped and walked through the front door. Malik followed her in and so did the rest of us. A bell chimed when Nina opened the door.
Inside there were what seemed like endless rows of bizarre clothing and costumes. Racks full of make, fake weapons, jewelry and different accessories.
"You see" Nina says.
Maya wanders down an aisle looking at some of the pretty mascaraed masks. Julian slips his fingers though mine and we walk down the aisle. We walk past different era costumes from the 50's, 70's and 90's.
I put on red devil horns "What do you think?" I ask Julian pretending to pose for him. "Hot" he says his eyes looking over me. I avert his gaze and laugh lightly. "If I'm a devil then what matches that?" I muse. "A fallen angel" Julian takes a step towards "you know cause I fell for you." He stares at me intently, it was making uncomfortable. I roll my eyes and scoff "Yeah,okay"
"It's a good idea though" Julian points out. "True" I mumble.
"Alright so it's done. I'll be a devil and you'll be a fallen angel" I grab a red pitch fork and a red devil tail. Julian grabs a black feathered mask. We walk back to the front of the store, everyone else was already there waiting.
Maya had a cop costume in hand. Alissa looked particularly annoyed, it might have to do with the fact that she had Princess Peach costume and Connor was holding a Super Mario costume. He had kept good on his promise.
"Julian" she groans and stalks over to us and points to Connor "Make. Him. Stop" she grumbles unhappily "He won't leave me alone"
I try to suppress the smile that was threatening to take over my face. Julian smirks and shrugs "Sorry, Connor likes what he sees and what he sees is you"
