Lexa Callero's POV
The nerve that bitch has. He's been bringing girls in and out of his apartment EVERY FUCKING night since we got here. Although my need to break down his wall and strangle him and the girls who keep lacking me of sleep is greater than life itself, I've restrained myself over the past weeks because I know I need to stay away from him. But that night, I couldn't take it anymore.
Don't get me wrong, it's not like I'm jealous that he's fucking random girls every single night. I'd never be jealous of some plastic bimbos who'd give anything for a night with Kace. After all, been there done that.
It's currently a few mornings after my little encounter with Kace's booty call. I'm sitting in my car in the parking lot, waiting for the twins to arrive. I look to my right of the car side and see Kace's silver Porsche park irritatingly close to mine. I know that bitch is an amazing driver, so he did it on purpose. I roll my eyes and get out of my car.
"Just like old times," he smirks, leaning back against his car with his arms crossed and a cigarette in his mouth.
"Fuck off," I reply, rolling my eyes.
Before he can respond, Dimitri and Elena's car pulls up and they both get out, laughing and smiling.
"Hey guys," I enthusiastically greet them once I get close to them. The amount of happiness and bubbliness I put in my voice makes me literally want to shoot myself, but you gotta do what you gotta do.
"Hey, Lexa! Guess what we have planned!" She flattens her hands out to show the excitement in whatever shit she planned. I notice that Kace just made his way over here.
"What?" he says, faking enthusiasm just like me.
"We're throwing a Halloween party this weekend!" Dimitri announces as Elena giggles. Kace and I both pretend to be ecstatic, smiling from ear to ear to this 'exciting news.'
To be honest, I didn't even realize that Halloween is tomorrow until now. I've haven't really celebrated it over the passed years, except just by getting drunk with Viola at our own little party. It's like our Halloween ritual. But of course, this year I have to spend it with a bunch of annoying ass teens.
"Cool," Kace replies, clearly not finding any interest in this, but the air-head twins don't seem to notice.
"And Lexa, you're coming costume shopping with me after school!" Elena demands, pointing her finger in my face.
"Fun," I sarcastically reply, while Kace quietly chuckles at my misfortune. I sneak him a painful shove when the twins look away.
"We should get to class," Dimitri inputs when the bell rings. He takes my hand and leads me up the stairs, whereas Kace does the same to Elena. She giggles like a fucking elementary schooler.
We sit down in class and Dimitri constantly whispers cringy nothings in my ear the whole time. I pretend to giggle and blush, but I secretly want to strangle him on the inside. Kace glares at us the whole time, getting angrier and angrier with every inch Dimitri moves closer to me. Eventually, he just rolls his eyes and whispers things into Elena's ears like Dimitri does to me. The hoe clearly enjoys it, and touches him with every chance she gets.
The day quickly passes by, and all four of us spend as much time together as we can. Dimitri has now warmed up to Kace, which is pretty unfortunate for me. In front of the twins, Kace and I have to pretend like we're friends, seeing as we're now in a 'friend group'. We act like normal teenagers around them, and for the most part, they don't suspect a thing.
But when we're alone, in the apartment complex, we completely ignore each other and pretend we don't even exist. It's easier that way, and I'm in a better mindset to focus solely on the mission. But occasionally, I'd catch him sneaking some glances at me.
When the school bell finally rings, dismissing us, Elena doesn't hesitate to drag my arm out into the lot and jump in the car. She doesn't even bother to say bye to Dimitri or Kace before we leave.
"Finally, away from the boys!" she sighs out once we get on the car.
"Yeah," I reply, not really caring about what she's saying.
"Did you see what Kace kept doing to me during class?" she giggles out like an idiot.
"Yes, you guys are so cute. Do you like him?" I chuckle out, even though I want to drown the bitch.
"Of course, he's sooo fucking hot. Can't you see his tattoos?" she almost yells out. Fuck, that's not good. Kace already has her wrapped around his finger. I need to step up my game with Dimitri.
"Yeah, they're pretty cool," I casually say, rolling my eyes when she can't see.
"What about you, do you like my brother? I see you guys flirting 24/7" she slyly asks, turning to look at me.
"Maybe...is it obvious?" I lie, assuming that she may trust me more if she thinks I trust her too.
"Oh my god! Dimitri totally likes you too. You guys would make such a cute couple!" she squeals. What a fucking child.
"I hope," I fake smile again.
I zone out for the rest of the car ride while Elena rambles on and on about how hot Kace is. I mean, she's not wrong, but hearing her pitchy voice blabber for so long is fucking unbearable. We arrive at the mall and she drags me out, leading me into one of the costume shop.
I glance around the store; it's filled with a bunch of slutty Halloween costumes. I don't think there's even one costume that doesn't have a slutty v-neck leaving nothing to the imagination. Elena squeals like the annoying bitch she is, and speedily walks around the shop, grabbing anything she can lay her eyes on.
I originally planned to not wear a costume-seeing as dressing up for Halloween is just an excuse for sluts to dress slutty-but now that I'm seeing all these costumes, it might not be such a bad idea to wear something Dimitri will lay his eyes on. After what I heard from Elena in the car, I know Kace is way up ahead of me. And I need to do anything I can to get Dimitri to like me more.
I slowly walk around the store, trying to find an outfit that doesn't scream 'fucking hoe' on it. Don't get me wrong, I love my body and very often like to show it off, but a whore isn't really the vibe I want to give Dimitri.
A crimson red costume catches my eye in the corner of the store. A sexy devil, okay we can deal with that. I grab the costume and head to the fitting rooms. The fabric is really tight, hugging my curves in all the right places. It's a mid thigh, fitted dress with spaghetti straps and a low v-neck. There's a slit reaching my hip, and black laced details around the edges. I look hella fucking good, Dimitri's going to have a hard time resisting.
