"Clemmy!" Louis shouted, catching Clementine's attention and quickly putting a smile on her face. He caught up to her, tugging his books to his chest. "How're you doing on this fine last day of October?"

"I'm great. What's up?"

"Well, a friend of mine just invited me to a Halloween party today and I was wondering if you wanted to come."

"Sounds a bit... out of my comfort zone." She mumbled worriedly, stepping on orange and black streamers that littered the hallways.

"Tell you what, bring Violet."

"Maybe I can convince her, our costume won't make sense without each other."

"I love that, first of all." Clem giggled, a slight pink blush rising to her cheeks. "All jokes aside, I would really like to see you there."

"Is that so?"

"Is that a yes?"

"Fine." She jokingly groaned. Inside, her heart thumped with excitement.

"So can I pick you up at 7?"

"I guess," Louis bit back a grin, tugged on his backpack strap, and pointed at her.

"See ya then, Everett."

As Louis' car skidded to a stop in front of Clem's house a few minutes after the allotted time, he felt his heart race. He had been eagerly awaiting the reveal of her costume since he craved to see a different side of her where she allowed herself to let loose.

Suddenly, the front door of the house opened, Clem and Violet running out. Louis had to physically keep himself from dropping his jaw at the sight of them as they approached his car.

"Why're you staring?" Violet asked, sliding into the back seat. Clem was still outside, leaning on the car door, speaking for a speechless Louis.

"Because I am..." She ran her hands down her hips. "bodacious!"

"Woah, w-who're you supposed to be?"

"We're Kelly and Yorkie from Black Mirror. Ever seen it?" Clementine jumped in, smiling wide as the many necklaces she wore jingled with her movement.

"No," He swallowed. "But you guys look incredible."

Louis tried not to focus on their outfits as he drove. Clem's hair was voluminous, cascading down her shoulders in coils and secured with a large black bow. Her bright purple jacket had gold gems on her shoulders and fringe hanging off the arms. Her top though was a straight up corset. How her parents allowed her to wear that, he had no idea.

Violet, on the other hand, was much more tame from what he could see through his rearview mirror. Her teal and dark blue striped shirt was tucked into beige shorts, a white collar under it. And what was most prominent was the round-rimmed glasses perched on her nose and the new waves added to her hair.
