halloween

"come on, it's a halloween party. what's the worst that could happen?" my friend pushed me into going with her tonight.
kiley, a popular girl at school, was throwing a halloween party as expected. me, not being much of a party person but had a friend who was desperate to go since her crush was going, had to be annoyed with the question or almost thirty minutes now.

"a lot of things happen on halloween, meg. and plus i had plans with ben" i scooted back in my bed and picked up the tv remote, turning on the tv. "we can watch halloween instead"

"no," meg shot back quickly with a blunt tone. "ben.. ben jones? the school's fuckboy? oh my god! y/n, if you don't cancel your plans and come with me to this party, you can stop calling us best friends " she crossed her arms at me. i let out a breathy laugh at her statement. "meg, you've been saying that line since we were in elementary school, and look at where we are now" i raised my eyebrows at her.

"please. kiley said there was going to be a concert tonight"

"she said that last year too so everyone would come, but guess what? no one came. so do you really think someone is going to perform tonight?"

"you know what fine. i'll go without you, and have fun with ben" she said in his name in a high pitched voice as she stood up and left my room but a few seconds later came back in. "can you do my makeup?"

i looked around in the cabinets to see if there were any snacks i could eat while i watched coralline for the hundredth time. i put my hands on my hips sighing in defeat that there none meaning i had to go to target to get something.

i paused the movie as i grabbed my car keys and left my house locking the door. i walk over to my car opening it and getting inside. the atmosphere in my car felt uneasy but since it was halloween, it would be necessary. i started the car fixing my mirror when i felt hands grab my shoulders. i screamed and went to hit the person i seen in the mask but they grabbed my hand and took it off.

"ben!" i scolded when i seen the person. he laughed and climbed in the front seat with me dressed in a clown costume. he showed me the mask.
"scared?" he teased. i rolled my eyes snatching it out of his hands and throwing it in the backseat.

"i hate you, so much right now" i pushed his shoulder as i headed down the street. "lier. you adore me" he pinched my cheek and ruffled my hair. "whatever" i laughed. ben and i have been friends for two years, even though his rep in the teen social life wasn't that good amongst others, he is actually a good person to have as a friend when you get to know him.

"well it's your fault" ben said taking off his seatbelt as i stopped in a parking space. "me?! how is it my fault?"

"you left your car doors unlocked" and with that he got out giving me a shrug of shoulders.

"so why aren't you at the party?" i asked realizing that he never misses a party chance. "hm..it's the same, almost every year. it gets boring over time" he answered picking up a bag of candy. "oh" i mumbled looking round the shelves. "and plus i wanted to be with you" he gave a smile that gave me butterflies...wait-

"please get this" he held up an adult costume named 'sexy nurse'. i gave him a look then he chuckle and put the costume back. "joking..but unless you want to..." he trailed off putting a arm around my shoulders. "shut it" i held up my hand in front of his face.

we got back to my house, running inside from the hard rain that started a few minutes before. we laid out all of the candy on the table. "pizza, when did you get pizza?" he held up the box. i took it from him. "when you were busy looking at costumes" i took it out and put it on a pan and pre-heating the oven.

"so what movie? i suggest the poltergeist, the exorcist, paranormal activity-"
"basically every scary movie in existence?"

"exactly" he rounded the corner. i put the pizza in the oven and followed him. i saw him unfold the blanket and turn on the movie.

"i picked the least scariest for your well being"
the poltergeist great
"nice of you to think about me"

i sat beside him on the couch covering myself with the blanket and covering half of my face incase a jump scare would pop up. "you're going to miss half of the movie" he whispered in my ear pulling the blanket down away from my face and pulling my body towards him. during the rest of the move i laid on his shoulder and rested legs across his lap.

right when the good part was about to happen, the lights went out. "seriously" i groaned. i felt him tap my thigh signaling to move my legs out of the way as he went to go find a flashlight or candle. i went to the kitchen and used the small light from the moon to take the pizza out of the stove. i seen something light up behind me.

"is the pizza done at least?" ben walked up behind me. "sure if you want to middle part of your slice to be frozen" i sarcastically responded. we headed back into the living room and sat back down on the couch.

"you have a ouji board?" he asked. "ben"
"sorry, just trying to keep halloween going that's all" he held his hands up. "let's play would you rather" i suggested.

"alright, would you rather have seven fingers on each hand or seven toes on each foot?"

i cringed at the question. "my feet cause no one would see them"

"but it's two extra body parts why would you want that" ben laughed. "do you really want people to see your hands with seven fingers on each one. that's scary" i laughed.

"fine, would you rather rule the world or live in a world with no problems at all?" i asked him. "world with no problems. would you rather date someone you love or date someone who loves you"

"someone who loves me cause i know i won't look like i fool if i loves them but they didn't love me back. would you rather continue or restart your life?"

"continue, even though i want to restart it and fix myself, i won't have you anymore"

a smile appeared on my face as he looked at me. "would you rather be my best friend or be my girlfriend?" he asked. my mouth opened a little.

"w-what?"
