Chapter 1
Skylar
"So do you want me to ask him for you?" I whispered to Tessa, my best friend, in the hallway as we pretended to shove books into my locker. I leaned back and peered over the door of my locker. I eyed a tall figure up ahead as he turned left to the wall of lockers, just a few doors from mine.
"Yes. No. Wait! Yes," She sighed. "I don't know. Should we even invite him?"
"Of course! Look, I know this isn't your forte, so I'll just get the ball rolling for you," I waved my hand in dismissal and started to walk up to him.
"Don't be weird!" She quickly called out before the bustling noise of the students and their footsteps drowned her out.
"Hey," I smiled and leaned against the lockers next to his.
"Hi," His smile faltered for a split second before he regained control of his shock. "Can I help you?"
"No, but I can help you," I grinned and crossed my arms. He looked at me with raised eyebrows, clearly thinking that I was crazy.
"Yeah? Can you? How's that?" He jokingly scoffed and placed books into his locker from his bag.
"There's a party this Friday at my friends house. You should come," I raised my eyebrows suggestively and he laughed.
"Do you peg me for the party type?" He questioned as he closed the door of his locker. He slung his bag over his shoulder and started to back away.
"Not really, but I think you'll have fun. It's a Halloween party, so you gotta dress up," I followed him, quickly eyeing Tessa behind me. She gave me the thumbs up and widely grinned.
"Um. Yeah. I'm definitely dressing up," He sarcastically laughed.
"No seriously! It'll be amazing," I pushed.
"Okay, so why me? I've literally never talked to you in my entire life. Now you suddenly show up telling me about this random party?" He raised his eyebrows suspiciously.
"You don't have to question everything. What are you? Like some interviewer? Jesus," I rolled my eyes and pursed my lips.
"Hey, I think I have some pretty valid questions, no? Like, for instance, whose party is it?"
"Tessa. Tessa Ross," I clarified.
"Yeah, I don't know her either."
"Well you will because you are coming to this party," I grinned.
"You can tell yourself that," He shrugged and slipped his hands into his pockets. He sauntered away after turning around and winking at me.

"I can't believe he's not coming," Tessa whined as we put up decorations.
"Give him a break. To be fair, he had valid points," I defended him. "He doesn't even know us."
"Okay. I don't need a lecture from Little Miss Perfect," She rolled her eyes. "People are going to be here soon. How do I look?"
She was clad in a white tutu and a white corset like top, with white wings to match. She wore a halo on her head and white thigh high socks with beige heels.

I, on the other hand, had on shiny red booty shorts and a cropped bralette with black thigh high socks and black stilettos. My dark red eyeshadow and lipstick contrasted her bright glitter and highlight, but our outfits still worked in unison to create the classic devil and angel duo. The funny thing was that we were complete opposites, and in reality I probably should have been the angel.
"Drop dead gorgeous," I grinned.
"Aw really?" She smiled.
"Totally. I bet Anthony wishes he was here so he could get a piece of this," I raised my eyebrows suggestively as I walked passed her and slapped her ass.
"Skylar!" She gasped as her mouth hung open in shock. Before she could reprimand me on how inappropriate that was, the doorbell rang.
