I stare at myself in the mirror. I hate to be so narcissistic but I looked good. A tight red dress gives my body. It was a pretty simple dress but it worked. I had a pair of blood red pumps on. Along with my pitchfork, devil horns and a tail, my costume was complete.
My hair was pin straight not in its usual wavy style. I used a matte red lipstick and created a smoky eye on my eye lids. It really brought the whole outfit together. I tugged down the bottom of the dress, it might be a little short. As long as I wasn't caught by any teachers or chaperones I'll be okay.
If I could avoid Julian at any cost would be great but looks like that isn't happening. As long as he can't corner me somewhere and make me talk to him, I'll be good.
My door been rang. I quickly grabbed my red clutch and walked down the stairs. I opened the door. I stood there staring back at a cop,Harley Quin and Princess Peach.
"Hey girl" said Harley Quin, well actually it was Nina but you know its Halloween. To be quite honest I had no idea Nina was going to sneak into the dance in that outfit.
It was almost an exact replica of the wardrobe from the movie. Sneaker heels, fishnet stockings, a pair of blue and red shorts and the ripped baseball t-shirt. Her hair was put into two high ponytails with the ends dyed.
Maya looked miserable to put it quite simply. I imagine Nina had to shove her into the costume. She looked good no denying that. She had fake cuffs and and gun hanging on her waistband. She had shades and a cop hat to go along with it.
Lastly Alissa, she had somehow cut the costume and re-sewed it so instead of the hen falling to the floor it fell just above her knees. And had a pair of bubblegum heels, gloves and a little tiara to complete it.
"Heyy" I reply enthusiastically. "The boys are meeting us at the dance" Nina explains. I nod "Okay, sounds good" Locking the door I follow them down the steps to Nina's car. As we drive to the dance we sing loudly to Katy Perry's 'Teenage Dream'.
"You make me fell like I'm living a teenage dream!" We sing loudly. We're all laughing and having a good time. Even when we're parking the car I can hear a faint trace of music. I could see the pulsing lights coming from inside. At the entrance there were orange and black balloons. Hay bails, fake blood prints and a creepy looking scare crow.
Walking to the entrance with the girls I let out a low whistle "Wow, Alissa you really out done yourself" she nods and smiles at me greatfully. "Thanks, I worked really hard"
As groups of friends and couples walked through the doors we spotted the boys waiting by the entrance. The first thing I noticed is that Connor and Thomas had both dressed up to match with Alissa and Maya.
"Dude you look ridiculous" I heard Julian say to one of them. "It's not that bad" retorted Connor.
"Super. Freaking. Mario. I'm pretty sure my 8 year old cousin dressed up as Mario this year man"
"Shut up, at least my costumes legit. What are you even supposed to be?" Connor points out.
To be honest if I didn't already know I wouldn't be able to figure out what his costume was.
Julian wore a black tight fitting shirt, black jeans and the feathered mask he had bought while we were at the costume store.
I step beside Julian and put my arm around him. "He is my fallen angel" I say pointedly to Connor. Malik wolf whistles "Damn girl"
Nina then appears beside him and slaps his shoulder "Excuse me?" She says in an unimpressed tone. "Uh, I mean-" Malik stutters nervously. Nina's face breaks out in a playful smile and into a fit of giggles "I'm just kidding, relax."
"Oh" is all that Malik says in response. He shakes her head and loops her arm with his. "Come on" she mutters pulling through the front door.
"Stop following me!" I heard Alissa practically shriek as Connor just laughs. "But I have to protect my Princess Peach" he proclaims rolling her inside. Maya had disappeared inside the building already. Probably to help take pictures. So had Thomas, Julian and I were the only ones left. I slid my arm off his waist.
"Hey" Julian says looking down at me. "Yeah?" I ask looking right back at him. "You gonna be okay?" He asks softly. I felt my stomach twist. I had already revealed too much to him. Plus now was not the time to talk about how I was doing.
"I have no idea what you're talking about. I'm fine, let's go" I say promptly and turn to go inside. "Lilly!-" he calls after me but I just keep walking into the music and flashing lights. I didn't dare look back. I handed my ticket to the person at the grim door entrance. I left my fake pitchfork at coat check and stepped in.
I could make out the crowd of people dancing to the loud, up beat music. Against the wall in the left was a large table with drinks and food. I grabbed myself a cup of punch. Taking only a sip of it I knew someone had spiked it. I drunk it gladly, I didn't want to have a clear mind tonight.
"Lilly Parks!" I heard shrill voice shriek. I already knew who it was, I sigh and turn to face them. "Hello Monica" I greet her politely. Monica was dressed up as 'sexy' maid, so it was kinda hard to take her seriously at the moment.
"Where have you and Nina been?" She demands "You've skipped practice last week. I am not impressed."
Taking another swing of my intoxicated drink I respond "Look, it's Halloween I'm not having a good day so...It won't happen again I'll talk to Nina, if you want to talk to her herself she around here somewhere dressed as Harley Quin."
Monica looks at me as if I'm the gum stuck to the bottom of her shoe "It better not. Next time you skip practice without a reasonable excuse, you're benched and running laps instead of practicing the routines at practice. Got it?"
I nod "Crystal"
Still sneering at me she walks away from me into the crowds. Probably looking for Nina, or maybe just to look for her victim. Who knew?
Finishing my drink in one swing I set my cup down back onto the table. I attempt to stalk off and try and find Nina but unfortunately I stumble in my heels. How much alcohol was in that punch?
Before I can fall a pair of strong muscular arms wrap around my waist from behind me, holding me up. "Julian, I really don't want to talk about it. Especially not here" I murmur.
Julian holds me tight to his chest "I need to protect my princess" is all he says back. I shake my head "Im not you're anything."
"Come on princess lets go dance"

Teen FictionI stare up at his gorgeous face., giving him a flirtatious look "I heard you're a player." "Yeah, so?" He asks, smirking at me. I straightened, trying to make myself look taller than I actually was "So let's play a game." "What kind of game?" He...
