Kurt, Blaine, and Finn had taken the bus today since their parents couldn't pick them up. Finn sat with Puck in the back of the buss because it's cool while Blaine and Kurt sat toward the front if the bus. "Are you as excited as I am for the carnival?" Blaine asked. "Probably more!" Kurt replied. "What are you gonna dress up as?" Blaine asked. "Today I'm probably going to dress up as a Kim Possible," Kurt said. "Oh that's a good costume! What do you think if I dressed up as Ron Stoppable?" Blaine asked. "That would be so awesome! We would just need a Rufus to complete the group," Kurt said. Kurt knew
Theodosia got home pretty quickly considering she lived relatively close to the school. Eliza was still at school when Theodosia texted her.
Eliza was headed to the teachers lounge to make her regular afternoon cup of tea. Eliza saw that the teabags were put lower in the cabinet to a place she could actually reach and made her think of Alexander. Eliza shock the thought out of her mind for she wanted to focus on herself. She sat at the table and heard a buzz come from her phone.
Theodosia= Italics Eliza= Bold
Hi Eliza, do you have any plans tonight?
Hi Theo, all I have planned is doing some reading and watching Halloween movies as late as I want since I live alone now.
I'm so happy you got rid of that stickup fake rich boy. I never liked him clearly
I have mixed still, but I'm glad I get rid of his toxicity.
Eliza he was awful to you! Plus there are so many better guys. Maybe you could go after the cute secretary!
No Theo, Alexander is just a coworker and I want to focus on myself until I'm ready to go back to the world of romance.
I understand, but let's talk in general, don't you think he's at least a little cute?
I mean he's not bad looking and he's sweet
I can feel the heat from your face through my phone screen
"Oh goodness," Eliza said under her breath and laughed. Eliza was too busy on her phone that she didn't realize her water was already boiling until she heard the sound of the kettle stop. Eliza turned toward the kettle and saw Alexander. "Oh hi Eliza, sorry I turned off your water. Principal Wahsington wants us to use as little gas as possible so the bill won't be too high," Alexander explained. "Hi Alexander, it's fine I was just texting a friend and got distracted. I'll remember to turn it off next time," Eliza said giving him a smile. "By the way thanks for putting the tea bags lower in the cabinet, it makes life just that much easier," Eliza added. "No need to thank me. I just didn't want you hurting yourself for a cup of tea," Alexander replied. "Do you mind if I take some of your water? Vice Principal Peggy asked me to get her a cup of coffee because, in her words, 'coffee makes it bearable to schedule all the parent teacher conferences' and I wanted to snag a donut before they were gone," Alexander said. "There are donuts?" Eliza asked excitedly. "Yeah, Jefferson brought them in this morning," Alexander replied. Eliza looked around and spotted the box. She walked over and retrieved the goods. She opened the box and they saw only one donut remained. They looked at eachother, "You can have the donut," they said in unison. "Eliza, you can have it. I know things have been tough for you so you should treat yourself," Alexander said. "Alexander, you can have it I could always get one from the 7-11," Eliza replied. "But by the end of the day the only ones left are the ones filled with the gross white stuff," Alexander argued. "How about a compromise? I take half and you take half and every Friday morning we get eachother donuts so we don't argue over who gets it, deal?" Eliza said putting her hand out. "Deal," Alexander replied shaking Eliza's hand. Alexander let go and took care of Peggy's coffee. He was off to Vice Principal Peggy's office with his half of the donut. Eliza made her tea and while it was steeping she took a bite out of her half of the donut. She took out her phone. Panic hit when she realized that she was so busy talking to Alexander that she forgot she was texting Theodosia. Theodosia= Italics Eliza=Bold
Eliza??
You know I was joking right?
Hello???
I'm sorry if I upset you!
Please reply!!
You're my best friend Eliza please reply 😭😭
Dramatic much
I thought I just lost my best friend
Anyways, I texted Angelica and Peggy and they agreed that we should all go to the Halloween carnival to night! What do you think?
I don't have anything better to do so why not. Plus I heard that they are going to he selling tacos
That's the sprint! We also agreed that we'd dress up as characters from Winnie the Pooh since the costumes are pretty easy to assemble. I'm going to be Eeyore, Peggy is going to be Tigger, obviously, and Angelica is going to be Pooh
Then I'll be Piglet
So were all set! See you then!
See you!
Eliza sipped on her tea and got going to make her last minute costume was made and presentable.
Alexander made his way to Vice Principal Peggy's office to drop off her coffee. As soon as he came in she felt reenergized. "Thank you so much Alexander," she said as she sipped on her coffee. "I don't want to come off as ungrateful, but what took you so long?" Peggy asked. "I ran into your sister, Eliza, and we talked for a little bit," Alexander replied. Peggy could tell that there was chemistry  between the two. "Oh it's fine I was just curious," Peggy replied. "Oh look at the time I don't want to keep you from your plans any longer, that is if you have any. I would suggest maybe going to Halloween Carnival it's always tons of fun," Peggy's said getting up from her chair and pushing him out the door. Alexander was confused by her odd behavior and thought about what she had said. Will Eliza be there? Alexander thought. Since Peggy was going there was a good chance Eliza would go so Alexander decided to have some Halloween fun with his crew.
