Guess what I found on the notice board? A notice for the annual Halloween Dance! Great. A dance means another chance for Ethan to be seen with me. I don’t exactly want people to know that we’re dating, but since Brad knows, he’ll probably tell all his friends…

As I walked down the hallway, Jessica came up to me, all bubbly and happy.
“Hey Scar!” She exclaimed.
I glared at her.

“Don’t call me that!” I yelled. Some people looked at us, and I saw Ethan glance at me from his locker and wave. I fluttered my fingers at him and turned back to Jessica. She looked shocked.
“Who was that boy Scarla? I thought you were with Brad!”
I hesitated and then decided to tell her.

“I’m not dating Brad anymore, and since you guys are besties now, you should probably know that.” I watched her confused face and continued. “And that boy is more than just a boy to me.”
Jessica’s jaw dropped.
“You mean… he’s your boyfriend ?”
I nodded, glad I had a boyfriend.
“But… but he’s a goth!”
I frowned and shook my head.

“Hey Scarla!”
I spun around and there was Ethan. He gave me a big smile.
“Sooo, did you hear about the dance?” He asked.
I nodded.
“Do you want to be my date?”
“Oh, um…” My voice trailed off and I stared over his shoulder. Brad was leaning against a wall behind him. He noticed me staring at him and glowered at me, his eyes flashing. Ethan looked at me and followed my gaze. He frowned and pulled me into a corner.

“Do you still like him?” He asked urgently.
I shook my head vigorously.
“No, but I think it’s the other way around. I think he likes me.” I said.
He looked worried.
“You don’t think he’s going to be one of those weirdo stalkers do you?” He asked.
I shook my head.
*DING!*

😬Brad:  8:59am
I’m watching you 😈

ME:  8:59am
CREEP!

I slowly faced Ethan.
“Actually, yeah. I do.”
