Dear

Tommy Williams

"So do you know where I can buy a tux?" Richard asked as he opened the door to the mall for me. I step in the warming glorified scene. It's basically November and the Mall had made the decision of decorating everything in Christmas lights. Every inch of the building was covered in red, blue, green,white lights. I got to admit it was a beautiful view.

"Uh, I don't think you need a tux," I tuck in a strand of my lose hair behind my ear. Richard gives me a poker face. "Because it's basically a costume party." I resonate.

"Ah correct." Richard points out. Unknown of what to do next. I grab his hand guiding him to the escalator, where thousands of people walk with shopping bags in hand. I spot a costume store nearby and without any doubt I run inside as Richard follows. Many slutty dresses are portrayed near the entrance. "Ah so here's where the Queen Bee and their followers get their dresses." I say to myself. I reach for a revealing red dress, with black lace overlapping the silky base. The dress is strapless and ends right bellow the thighs from what I'm observing.

"Who? You mean Isabelle?" He asked as he reached for a dirty nurse dress. I made a face in disgust as he planted an evil smirk on his face. He wondered off to the men costume section. I gave a deep sigh and followed right behind him.

Never thought a boy would spend half an hour arguing about the fact that being Peter Pan doesn't suit a costume for him.

"You watch me, you like the others will be falling for me."Richard replied inside the changing room. All that I would hear is grunts and deep sigh that could explain him trying to fit in his costume.

"Sure." I replied sarcastically. I leaned against the door waiting for the Drama King to hurry up. In that same moment, the door flung open backwards; making me fall. Without any hesitation I was caught by Richard having his arms securely around my waist. He had to turn down to see me. He already had his green cap thingy as Peter Pan would.

"I told you that you'll fall for me." Richard smiled a side smirk that only meant his stupid ego would get higher than what he can reach. I squinted my eyes at him, giving him my dirty looks that only made him smirk even more. I brought myself to a steady balance.

"So how do I look?" Richard rose both hands in the air, showing off his body.

I took a moment to study him, the green shirt fitted him in every inch, that would show off his muscles, but then I got to the pants. And that's where the problem was. For starters it was tight on him, he actually looked like a male Ballerina dancer, only green. I covered my eyes at the sight of everything.

"Uh, love the sight of this?" Richard prompted to ask.

"Oh God no! You need to take those pants off." I say, still blinded by the darkness I am in.

"Then let's go to my bedroom," he teases. "Wait what are you insinuating? Are my pants too attractive for you?" He points out.

I groan in disgust. "No ,yeah-no its too sexual." I answer.

He gives an exaggerated laugh. "Sky don't blame me, blame what God gave me. Besides it's how you are taking this costume as a sex symbol, you know I could be rocking this costume as the same little boy who you'll fly away with to Never-land."

"Go and change," I hurried him off. "Now!" I slightly raise me voice.

"Alright, alright and chill woman. You a re hasty as-" He began as he closed the door behind him. My legs decided it was enough to be standing up, so I sat on the floor; leaning against the door. I was getting hot like and oven, I took Richard's sweater off.  I checked my phone. Two missed calls from Angelica. I dialed her number and waited. It only took two calls before she finally answered.

"Where the hell are you?!" She screamed, I had to take my phone away from my ear. It was still loud. Once the jittering speaking stopped, I brought the cold screen to my ear.

"Somewhere," I answered calmly.

"GIRL?! OF COURSE YOU'RE SOMEWHERE AND WHERE?!?" She screamed her mind. I winced. "You missed a lot! Tommy William broke up with his girl friend! And it was horrible!" Angelica almost sounded supper excited for the fact that I wasn't there to witness everything. But once she announced about you breaking up with your girl friend, my heart almost was relief that I wont have to share you.

"Really?!" I said trying not to sound too interested.

"Yeah!" She still wouldn't lower her cheerful voice, so I ended up putting the phone on the floor without speakers. Her voice was loud enough to hear her loud and clear.

"Ugh can you stand up?" I heard Richard ask behind me. I turn to face him, and got up.

"Wait? Who's that! Sky you skipped school with a boy?! Who?! Tell me who?! Wait you guys won't have sex right?! Oh gosh! Please tell me he is someone trustworthy?! Is he hot! Or... Yeah he must be hot if you ditched class with him. Kay bieeee." Angelica spoke to herself with a hint of teasing. Then she hung up. I knew I was red as a tomato. Richard had a side smirk on his face. I noticed he was back to wearing his normal clothes instead of the ridiculous Peter pan costume.

"Who was that?" Richard teases as we both go back to the costume sections.

"Someone," I say stretching put the "e" to fill in the awkward doubt in my voice.

"I thought no one would notice you missing." He laughs. He hands me a Tinker Bell Costume. I frown.

"You know I already have a costume, and I have one friend so." I raise both of my eyebrows.

"First who said this was for you, it's for Jasmine. And I know I'm your only friends so who else would notice you?" He cocks his head to the side. He grabs a black hat with glued on grey hair and puts it on. I laugh out loud. He laughs with me.

"Uh. No, my friend is Angelica." I fake an exaggerated cough.

"Than what am I to you?" He ask. But I manage to not take him that serious because of the hat he's wearing. I calm down.

I have to think that very same question because I'm afraid I got the answer, and I don't like it. "My Facebook acquaintance." I cross bother of my arm. Richard shakes his head as he takes the hat off, revealing his golden hair back.

"I have no Facebook." Richard states.

I give a deep sigh.

"Fine if I can't be Peter Pan then I'll be the Beast from Beauty and the Beast." Richard tells me. I'm about to reject the idea and he knows it because he then interrupts me without any hesitation. "And what ever you say won't change my mind Sky," He takes the royal blue suit, with a furry dirt gold fur hat with ears, simulating a beast. I try and reach over him, but he rises the item above me. I jump up and down trying to get it. Along his side with one hand in the air, and the other one preventing me from getting a hold on it, we talk to the cash register, both struggling our way. And he buys it. I stay slouched in disappointment, wide eyed, mouth open in aw.

He smiles an evil smile.

What a beast.

Yours truly, 

Sky ✉
