SOMETHING MORE: CHAPTER ONE: HALLOWEEN COSTUMES
"We could go as … I dunno. Beauty and the Beast?" asked Claire. She and Cam had been trying to come up with a Halloween costume idea for half an hour. So far, they hadn't gotten anywhere.
Cam could tell that she hadn't meant for him to take it seriously.
"I have an idea," said Claire suddenly, breaking the silence. She got up and walked over towards the Lyons's TV.
"What are you doing?" asked Cam, confused.
"Let's look through these movies and see if we get any ideas," she answered.
They looked through the DVDs for a few minutes before Cam spoke. "What about this?" he said, holding up a copy of Grease. "Its not my favorite movie but I think it's OK and I know you love it."
The last part made Claire smile. The fact that Cam would dress up as a character in a movie that he didn't really like. Because he knew she would like it. Although she already knew that he really loved her. They'd been dating … she frowned. How long had it been? A few years. Cam had been her first real boyfriend, but she'd kissed one or two boys before him and she knew that he was the real deal. True love. Her one and only. She smiled at the thought.
"So we'd go as Danny and Sandy? That is such a great idea! Let's get started on the costumes right now! Come on, let's hit the mall! Wait a second! Maybe Amanda, Britney, and Dakota would go as the rest of the Pink Ladies! And their boyfriends could be the T-Birds! I mean, you guys aren't all exactly best friends, but you're friendly. And it would mostly be just us. Britney will probably go a block and then go find some nice place to make out for the rest of the night."
"That sounds like a cool idea. If we were going to be as a group the whole time I'd say no, but whatever. It's going to be about you and me Claire-slash-Sandy."
Claire laughed. "I'm gonna text them! They are so gonna love this idea!" She pulled out her iPhone, and texted her three best friends, the other members of the most popular clique in the sophomore class. They were also way cooler than the cliques of the freshman and junior classes. Claire, being co-captain of the cheerleading team and ready to become the captain next year, was the alpha of the clique. Of course, they all responded quickly. Britney, always wanting to be the leader or the star, replied first, with a text that said, "i call rizzo xD" Claire texted back with, "u rplied 1st so u can b rizzo :D."
Then Amanda texted, wanting to be Frenchie. And Dakota wanted to be Marty. Go figure, thought Claire, Britney would be Sandy, but I'm Sandy. Since she wants the main character anyway, she calls Rizzo. Amanda is exactly like Frenchie. A little bit of an airhead, wants to be a makeup artist. And Dakota's pretty sophisticated. Well we all are, just Dakota makes a big deal out of it. What with refusing to date anyone younger than a senior and all that.
"So, what should we wear? Like what scene from the movie? I think Sandy's really the only one who dresses very differently in different parts of the movie, right? So it's basically up to you," said Cam, breaking Claire's train of thought.
"I kind of want to be at the end. Like during 'you're The One That I Want.' Let's watch that scene just for a refresher. Even though I know exactly what they're wearing."
They sat on the couch and watched them. Claire said, "Oh my god, you should be Danny with his track sweater thingy-majigg, and I'll be Sandy in her greaser outfit, so we're both showing how the character changed to get the other one. See?"
"Sounds great. So before we hit the mall, shouldn't we make a list of what we want to buy?" asked Cam.
They sat down at the table and began making lists. Then they left to go to the mall.
"Okay, great job girls! Now go shower off!" said Coach Brown, the Westchester High School varsity cheerleading team's coach. They had just cheered for the football team's first game of the season, and they had won. Amanda, Britney, Claire, and Dakota walked off to the showers laughing about something. Massie didn't know what it was. Why was Claire over there with them? She shouldn't be at the point of the triangle, the middle of the group with some other clique. She should have been on the edges with the Pretty Committee. Claire wasn't supposed to be an alpha. That was Massie's job. She'd assumed that this act would last only a week or two into the school year. Then cheerleading tryouts would happen, Claire and her sidekicks would be cut, Massie would be co-captain, not Claire. And Massie should have been the popular one with the quarterback one. Who would be captain next year and the year after. Cam should have been hers. She'd never looked at Cam twice until last year, when she'd decided that revenge would be sweet. Now she had a crush on him. They'd worked on a school project recently and she was head over heels for him. She had to have him. And then somehow kick Claire off the squad. But how?
"Okay, so I have stuff for me and Cam. What do you guys have already? Anything?" asked Claire. They were at Amanda's house, working on their Halloween costumes.
"Ooh, can you show us? Please?" asked Amanda. "I wanna see!"
"It's at my house! But after we go shopping for you guys, we'll all go to my house, uncludign the guys and try on our costumes. And sing the songs our characters sing! Oh my god, that's gonna be so much fun!"
"Can we go shopping now?" asked Dakota in a bored tone.
"Cam and I are being Sandy and Danny in the scene with 'You're the One That I Want" and "We Go Together.' So do you guys want to go in the same scene?"
"Of course," said Amanda, slipping her blond hair. "We have to match. After all, 'We Go Together'" They all laughed at that a little bit.
They watched the last scene, and they all made a list of what they wanted, and then hopped in Britney's convertible Mustang. Britney always had to have the coolest anything around. She dressed in the newest trends and usually showed a lot of skin. Her idol was Britney Spears. All the girls had a celebrity idol with their name: Amanda Seyfried, Britney Spears, Claire Danes, and Dakota Fanning. They wanted to be like them in how they dressed, or their career, or their looks. It varied from girl to girl.
They got out at the Westchester mall and shopped around, finding exactly what they were looking for. They decided to have a boy-girl sleepover at Britne's house next week because her parents were going to be out of town. They'd made her swear to not have a party, but they hadn't specified sleepovers. What they didn't know wouldn't hurt them. They were going to watch Grease and perform every song that heir characters were in. Claire was so excited!
A/N: not much action, i know. But if I get some reviews (cough, cough) I will update soon! And I promise, action and excitement is coming soon! I have a basic plot worked out, but I am totally open to you suggestions! :D
