"Are you ready for Halloween?" Noah grinned, linking his hand with Eve's as we walked down the hall.

"You do know it's not actually Halloween, right?" Eve asked. "It's March."

"But it's close enough! You know how much I love Halloween. This counts." Halloween was his favorite holiday. It was safe to say that he was excited to dress up later tonight and go out.

Where we were from, it was kind of a senior tradition to have a costume party on the third Friday of March. No one knew how it started, but it's been going on since before our parents went to school here. We'd all dress up and throw a party somewhere, decorate like it was Halloween and eat candy like it too.

It was a really cool thing for the seniors every year, and this time it was our turn. Noah was the most excited.

He had picked out his and Eve's costumes two months ago. They were going as Johnny and Baby from Dirty Dancing. I'd seen the costumes- it was pretty cute.

I was also done with detention and no longer grounded. So it was something I was looking forward to as well. I finished detention after Monday, but my parents kept me grounded until yesterday. They knew this event was kind of important so they gave in.

"You guys are cool if Grayson comes and hangs out with us after school still, right?" I confirmed, watching as they nodded. I'd invited him to come over for a while and then get ready with us.

"Grayson's cool. Plus, it's nice to have another guy around," Noah laughed. It was nice that they all got along well. They were my best friends.

We all met up at the end of the day, heading straight to my house and hanging out in my room.

When my sister got home she hung out with us for a bit, and we played UNO with her because it was her favorite game. I think she just wanted an excuse to stare at Noah and Grayson longer though.

After dinner, we started to get ready and into costumes. I was doing my makeup first, but paused when ethan FaceTimed Gray.

"Hey man, have you see- are you in Heaven's room?"

"Uh, yeah, why?" Grayson chuckled and shook his head. He was barely showing any surroundings, only leaning against the wall, and Ethan just knew.

I popped into the frame with a smile on my face and waved to Ethan before returning to my vanity to continue my makeup.

"I just recognized it. I didn't know you were going over there." Ethan said, a hint of annoyance in his voice. "Whatever, I was just wondering if you knew where I left the fake blood?"

"It's in the upstairs bathroom. See you later?" Grayson hummed, and Ethan grunted a quiet affirmation.

The boy sounded jealous, or upset, that Grayson and I were hanging out and he wasn't here. He knew that we were friends, so I don't understand what his problem would be with it. I'd talk to him about it at the party, but I still sent a text.

Heaven Jones: you alright e?
Heaven Jones: seemed upset on facetime

He didn't respond.

Either he actually was upset, or he was busy. Guess I'd have to find out later.

I finished my makeup- a dark smokey eye, a cut across my cheek, and smudged dark lipstick, and then went to put my outfit on in the bathroom. If it were just Eve I'd change in there, but not this time.
