"I don't know, I feel like it doesn't fit me."

"Nessa, it's Halloween. It's not supposed to fit you. You dress up and have fun!" Astrid yelled from the bathroom. She then poked her head out from the door frame and looked at me. "Besides, you look good! And didn't you invite your little boyfriend?"

I rolled my eyes and turned away from the full length mirrow I was using to look at my whole costume. "He's not my boyfriend."

"Yeah, keep telling yourself that." Mirabella laughed. "You guys Facetimed each other right before you fell asleep."

I smacked my lips and threw one of my pillows at her. "Stop telling everyone my business."

"Yeah yeah. Astrid, apúrate! El príncipe está esperando para su princesa."

"How come I'm always the one with no plans?"

Chris went up to Erick while giggling and tried grabbing his face while he said, "Because you're the baby."

Erick then looked at me, seeing as I was the one not dressed up, but leaving. "Where are you even going?"

"His novecita invited him to a frat party."

I let out an overexaggerated sigh and shook my head. "Ella no es mi novia." All 4 of the guys just looked at me and hummed. "Qué es un frat party?"

"Es una rumba que las fraternidads tienen mucho." Richard explained to both Erick and me. "Ten cuidado porque estudiantes universitarios se vuelven locos."

Joel looked at me up and down, so then I looked down to see what was wrong. "Wait, it's a halloween party. Shouldn't you dress up?"

"No tengo un disfraz."

Chris smacked his lips and started shaking his head while I just crossed my arms on the couch. "No, no, no. No vas a una fiesta de Halloween sin disfraz."

"Wait, I know what you can dress up as." Richard smirked, so I moved over, a seat away from him. "Tell your lady friend to come here with black and white makeup."

"Wow, your house is so big." Vanessa said when she walked in with a bag full of what I'm assuming is makeup. "You live here?"

I nodded my head as she quickly hugged me and continued looking around in awe. "Yo y otros cuatro." I told her. Nervously, I led her to the living room and once we walked in, she was surprised to see the guys and they were surprised to see her.

She looked around for a few seconds, then smiled and said. "Hi, I'm Vanessa."

"I'm Chris!" He greeted with a laugh, the usual. "You're so tiny." He giggled as he came up and hugged her.

All the guys started to line up to greet and hug her, and I just stood beside her rubbing the back of my neck. "I'm Joel."

"I'm Richard."

"Me llamo Erick."

"And we're," Chris started, "your backyard friends, the backyardigans. Duh nun nun uh nun." He sang, moving his arms around weirdly as he started dancing.

"Ay Díos mío." I mumbled, feeling embarrassed, but Vanessa was quite amused and laughed.

"So, what makeup am I doing?"

She looked to me, but I still didn't know what Richard had planned for me. "Alright, you know those like half skeleton face looks?"

"Oh, I like doing those!"

"You've done them before?"

Vanessa nodded excitedly and set her bag onto the table. "I did it on myself last year to see if I would like it." She then turned to me and moved her hand. "Sit, so I can fix your face."

"I think my face is fine."

My eyes were closed as Vanessa was finishing up my makeup, and the whole time Erick was talking to her as she stood between my legs. "Hiciste ballet también?"

I heard Vanessa hum as her answer and opened on eye, the one with no makeup, to see her nodding her head. "Empecé cuando tenía cinco años, y dejé el año pasado."

"You're literally the girl version of him." Erick laughed. "Why'd you stop?"

"I didn't have time because my classes were getting more hectic and my job."

I got confused, but when I furrowed my eyebrows she tapped my empty cheek. "Qué es hectic?"

"Es como agitado y loco. Así estaba demasiado ocupado." Vanessa explained. "All done!"

I was able to open open both of my eyes, and I stood up to look at myself in the living room mirror. From the all black outfit to the makeup, I looked good. Fantástico, even. "Woah. It's cool con la bandana."

Vanessa nodded with a satisfied smile on her face and tilted her head from behind me. "Yeah, you look great."

"Picture time!"

"Pictures?"

"Sí, los chicos se fueron pero querían ver." Erick explained as grabbed the first phone he saw. "Tú también, Nessa."

"Me? But they already saw my costume."

Erick shook his head and walked over to grab Vanessa's arm and pull her over. "Para los recuerdos."

Aight so I combined two of her Halloween costumes from different years, so her outfit is up there, but this was her makeup
