"got any costume ideas, maddie ?" daniel asked me. i stared at him, clueless. he sighed loudly and turned to me.
"halloween is in one week." he reminded me. "oh yeah, completely forgot about that." i laughed. "how can you forget halloween? it's the best thing ever!" he exclaimed.
"yeah, i'm not the biggest fan of it." i frowned. " i mean, it's all about people giving kids poisoned candies, to make them have diabetes later in their life. then there's this whole thing about celebrating diabolical spirits and cheez, and yeah no. i'm not an halloween person. i'm a thanksgiving and christmas person." i told daniel.
he sat next to me on the couch, staring at me weirdly, like i had done or said the worst thing on earth.
"how can you not like halloween! i don't understand!" he said, throwing his hands in the air dramatically. "i'm just not a halloween person. it's the second most boring here holiday, just after easter. forget it. at least easter comes with a break. halloween's the worst."
"i can't believe what you're saying!" daniel was shocked, it was like i had said something that was forbidden to say.
but wasn't it normal? most humans don't like halloween, it's a holiday for kids ready to have diabetes early in their lives.
"boys! come down there!" daniel should and i rolled my eyes. "are you serious?" i scoffed.
the boys ran down the stairs and rejoined ya in the living room. everyone was there, expect from zach who went... well, now one knew where he had went but anyway it didn't matter. he wasn't there.
"what's up?" corbyn asked. "this girl right here." daniel pointed to me. " is an anti-halloween. what do you guys think about that?" "oh seriously? there opinions don't even matter." i said to daniel, who completely ignored me. still waiting for an answer.
"well, i'm not a big fan of halloween too, if i gotta be honest." jack answered and i smiled. "here you go, their opinions really matter." i changed my mind. "yeah, i mean, when i was young it was fun and all but now it's just...boring." jonah agreed and i smiled to daniel.
daniel looked so sad that he was the only who still believed in 'the magic of halloween', which is what he had called it. i feel bad for him but not bad enough to say that i liked halloween.
"do you guys even hear yourselves? i can't believe you!" daniel yelled, crossing his arms. "i think dani's right. halloween is amazing. it's the only day of the year when you can wear weird costumes and express your weirdness without anyone judging you." corbyn said. "yeah, you kind of are always showing your weirdness. halloween is just an excuse so can you can show it more." jack chuckled.
corbyn glared at him and we all laughed. suddenly, the front door opened and zach walked in, followed by no one else than the snake, meghan. she was wearing a little red hood costume. the red dress was really short and it made the book little red hood lose all his innocence. zach was as well wearing a costume, some kind of superhero i had forgotten the name.
"why'd you bring her here?" i asked zach, rolling my eyes. "oh i didn't bring her. i was looking for a costume and she was too. so we went to a star bucks to talk about our lives and then she told me she was having a halloween party next week. and she's inviting all of us, isn't it amazing?" zach exclaimed.
"even you, madison. only because i know that if i hadn't invited you, daniel wouldn't come." she smiled. "thank you, but i'm not going." i said before turning around and walking up stairs. "by the way, love your halloween monster mask!" she exclaimed. "oh wait, it's just your face." she laughed.
i rolled my eyes and went in daniel's room, making sure to loudly close the door behind me.
i was not going to that girl's little party.

"i've got our costumes!" daniel exclaimed and i hid my face in my pillow. he couldn't just come at 8 am, in my apartment, barging in like that. "why did you got us costumes?" i asked the brown haired boy. "it's halloween today!" he said and i groaned. "oh really? i don't care."
daniel had tried to make me wanting go to that stupid party during the whole week, but my answer was always no. there was no way i was going to that party to see meghan being all over my boyfriend.
well, now that i think of it...maybe i should go. then, i'll make sure nothing happens between her and my boyfriend. this was a great idea. and it'll make daniel leave me alone about this whole party thing.
"what's our costumes?" i asked, rolling to the other side of the bed. "danny and sandy from grease!" he exclaimed so cheerfully. "well, you'll be sandy and i'll be danny. which make sense, because i don't see you being danny and me being sandy." he explained.
"that's a great costume choice." i told him and he smiled. "so you are going to wear them?" he asked and i nodded. "to the party?" he continued. "yes, yes, yes." i said. "yes!" he exclaimed before jumping on my bed and hugging me. "i love you madison, and i promised it'll be a great night.
i sighed and shook my head. i wasn't that sure of that. meghan was going, meghan as in meghan the girl who hates me. this wasn't going to be good.
