The girls and I were over at Rose's house, preparing for yet another big party. If our school is known for one thing, it's definitely the all-out parties that are thrown every weekend. Some are even exclusive and cost money to get into. They were fun, to say the least.

Tonight was the Big Halloween blowout party, which gaves girls and guys an excuse to look hotter than usual tonight.

Mask Off by Future was playing through Rose's surround sound speaker system in her house. We were all standing in front of her vanity, trying on different outfits and playing with makeup.

"How do you guys feel about this?" I asked the girls, holding up a white crop top with red-cuffed sleeves and a cherry on the chest. The hem of the shirt came up a few inches above my belly button.

"Mal, that's so cute!" Anastasia squealed.

"I'm feeling a 'matchy matchy' deal tonight, ladies", Rose said, cocking her eyebrows. She pulled out 3 more crop tops of the same style, but with different colors and fruits on them. Rose picked up one with purple-cuffed sleeves and grapes, Anastasia snagged the yellow-cuffed sleeves one with a lemon, and Charlie got the one with blue-cuffed sleeves and blueberries on it.

We all wore ripped light-wash jeans with them and a pair of white converse hi-tops.

"Who knew fruit could be so sexy?" Charlie asked, and we all giggled.

I grabbed the bottle of sparkles off Rose's vanity and put some under both of my eyes. It was Halloween, why not go all out?

After a few finishing touches, like straightening my hair, we were ready to go out. We decided to Uber to the party because we all knew we were gonna get as fucked up as possible.

"Okay bitches, Uber's here!" Charlie shouted from the living room. We grabbed our stuff and headed out the door, Rose locking it.

We entered the uber and all 4 of us squished into the backseat.

"Where to, ladies?" The driver asked us, just to confirm he had the right destination.

"The old barn on Seymour Street!" Rose shouted.

We arrived to the classic scene, flashing lights and blasting music. We thanked the uber driver and hopped out of the car, walking towards the entrance. we flashed the "bouncer", who was just a kid at our school, our school ID's, and then walked into the barn.

The barn was converted very nicely for the party. colorful fairy lights and lanterns lit up the place, there was smoke on the floor from a nearby smoke machine, and the stables were ripped out and became a big open space. Speakers were hooked up into the walls, blasting some party music.

"Wow, they did such a good job here!" I shouted to Rose over the music.

"Yeah, it's great!" She responded.

"Let's go get drinks!" Anastasia said to all 4 of us, in which we happily obliged.

We made our way over to the refreshment table, where a big bowl of green punch sat there. Anastasia handed us each purple solo cups and poured the punch into it.

"Is there alcohol in it?" I asked.

"I'll see", Rose said, sipping the punch delicately. She threw her head back and swallowed it, letting out a refreshed 'ah' afterwards.

"This punch is spiked, ladies and gents", Rose claimed, holding her cup up to the mass of people who all cheered.

We began sipping and loosening up, joining the rest of the party goers on the dance floor.
