I don't own Beyblade
The next day Dante met everyone outside the mall like Max had said the night before. It was clear that some like Tala were excited to start shopping. While others like Kai and Bryan were obviously dragged here against their will.
"Great everyone is here so let's get shopping!" Tala exclaimed and ran into the mall.
"Do we seriously have to be here?" Bryan complained.
"Would you be quiet! You know you need a costume so just grin and bear it." Callie said taking Bryan's hand and pulling him along.
Once inside, the group split up to shop as shopping as one big group never worked out for them. Callie, Bryan, Spencer, Rei and Kai went off to shop together. Hilary, Kenny, Mathilda and Ian decided to search together. Julia and Raul were kidnapped by Tala to go shopping. That left Dante with Tyson, Max and Daichi. They walked around for a while until they came across a joke shop that caught the attention of Tyson, who ran inside without warning. While Tyson and Daichi were more interesting in items that would help them pull off an awesome prank, Max and Dante had found some costumes.
"What about a fireman?" Max suggested.
"No way! I would look stupid. Why can't I just me a zombie or vampire?" Dante moaned.
"Because everyone goes as them. You need a rocking costume and I can help you." Max grinned while searching through more costumes. "Oh I know how about an owl?"
"An owl? Seriously Max are you really helping me or not!"
After two hours of searching through racks of costumes Dante decided to go with Robin Hood. Max got an Iron Man costume. Tyson and Daichi decided to be Batman and Robin which caused an argument about who would be Batman, in the end Tyson won. They met up the others and went for food.
"So what costumes did you guys come up with?" Tala asked. It was clear he wanted to brag about how much awesomer his costume choice was to everyone else's.
"I'm going as Rin from the Vocaloids and Bryan's going to be a werewolf." Callie smiled.
"Kai and I are going as Lego. Spencer is going as a skeleton." Rei informed the others.
"Mathilda and Ian are going as Fred and Daphne from Scooby Doo." Ian said.
"Kenny is going as a computer, surprise surprise and I'm being a princess." Hilary smiled.
"Julia and Raul as Dorothy and Tin Man from the Wizard of Oz. However my costume is clearly the best as I'm going as Jack Skellington from The Nightmare before Christmas." Tala said smugly.
"It's only an okay idea Tal." Kai said wanting to take Tala down a peg or two.
"Excuse me! Well at least it's better than going as Lego!" Tala shot back.
"Hey! I like our idea." Rei pouted.
"Would all of you STOP IT! All of your costumes are good ideas, so stop fighting about whose has the better one." Callie said shutting the trio up.
"What time does the party start on Thursday?" Dante asked.
"At eight but we're all meeting up at Kai's beforehand." Tala smiled.
"Why does it always have to be my house? Why can't we go to someone else's for a change? Callie just moved into her new place, how about hers instead?" Kai suggested, really hoping it wouldn't be his house again.
Before Tala could object and start a rant about how mean Kai is, Callie spoke. "I don't you guys getting ready at mine before it starts."
"Really we can?! Alright then new plan we're meeting at Callie's at 6 instead." Tala announced to the rest of the group.
Kai mouthed a thank you to Callie in which she smiled in reply. Callie knows how much Kai hates people being in his house.
Halloween Night
Everyone was at Callie's getting into their costumes. When everyone was ready, Callie's dad came in wanting to take pictures.
"Dad seriously! We're just going to a Halloween party it's not prom!" Callie tried desperately to stop her father.
"I'm never around for these types of events plus I'm your dad, I'm meant to do stuff like this to annoy and embarrass you." Alexander laughed. Callie just rolled her eyes and admitted defeat. There was no winning against her father.
After the pictures were taking they all got into one of Callie's limos and headed for the party. The school looked amazing for the night. The outside was decorated with coffins and had people lying in them who popped out and scared people. There was a guy at the door with a burnt face holding a chainsaw and on the grass there were hands and arms coming out of the ground. The inside looked even more impressive than outside with cob webs everywhere and moving pictures, the school really went all out of the event.
"Wow the school looks awesome!" Dante said.
"They like to throw a party that's for such. Just wait until the Christmas party. The school looks like a winter wonderland its amazing!" Callie smiled.
Inside the hall all the other students were dancing, chatting and enjoying themselves. Straight away Bryan, Spencer and Kai tried to escape to an empty corner for the night but were stopped by Callie and Rei.
"Where do you think you lot are going?" Callie asked.
"Come on babe don't make us be social. We're here in costumes isn't that enough?" Bryan asked.
"No Bry, it isn't. We are at a party therefore we will enjoy it and not sit in the corner."
"You know I don't want to be here! Why are you forcing me to be social with these people! I hate people you're aware of this!" Bryan shouted.
"I'm not forcing you to talk to anyone. I just want to dance with my boyfriend and not have to sit in a corner for the night."
While Callie and Bryan had their argument, Max was trying to get Tyson to ask Hilary to dance.
"Come on you know you want to."
"But what if she says no, that will be embarrassing Maxie. I don't it to be weird between us." Tyson lied. Tyson was just nervous and trying to prolong asking Hilary out.
"Dude she won't say no! It's clear she wants you."
"Really?!" Tyson said surprised.
"Would I lie to you, now go on ask her to dance." Max smiled pushing him in the direction of Hilary.
"Okay I'll do it. Thanks Max for the encouragement." Tyson gave his friend a quick hug and headed over to Hilary.
Hilary was over on the other side of the hall talking with Julia. As Tyson made his way over he noticed Robert had come over and was talking to them.
"What the hell does he want?" Tyson thought to himself. Before he could them Tyson saw Robert leading Hilary to the dance floor. Tyson's heart sank, he couldn't believe his eyes. He started walking back towards Max.
"Don't tell me you chickened out!" Max said when his friend came back.
"Hilary…..is dancing with…Robert." He whispered.
Max's eyes widened. "What! Why is she dancing with him? She's meant to be with you not him!" Max couldn't believe what Tyson had just told him. Surely he couldn't have read her signals wrong, right?
Meanwhile Tala kept looking around the room clearly searching for someone and it was starting to irritate Kai.
"Would you stop searching for Miguel." Kai said.
"I wasn't looking for him!" Tala said defensively.
"Just tell him how you feel so you can stop being a creepy stalker." Kai smirked.
"I'm not stalking him!"
"Whatever you say."
"Kai, leave Tal alone. It's not easy to tell someone you like them. Give Tala time." Rei said hoping to stop his boyfriend from bugging Tala further.
"He's taking too long though." Kai whined.
"Like it didn't take you a full year to realise your feelings for Rei then another year to actually tell him!" Tala spat.
Kai shot him a death glare, Rei sighed knowing it was going to be a long night.
Dante was talking to Kenny near the snack table until he went to the bathroom. While waiting for Kenny to come back and girl with chocolate brown hair to her shoulders came over to talk to him.
"Hello." She smiled at him.
"Um…hi." He said awkwardly.
"I'm Rose. I just transferred here last week. Your name is?"
"Dante, I just started here this year. I'm a sophomore. "
"Cool you're a sophomore too that's awesome. Maybe we have some classes together than." She smiled. "Do you think you could show me around someday?"
"Um….yeah…sure…..whenever your free, I don't mind."
"Great! I guess I'll being seeing you around then. Bye Dante." She smiled and walked away.
"Bye."
"Who was that?" Kenny asked.
"Rose, she's asophomore, who just transferred here last week." Dante informed him.
"Huh, she's cute, looks like she seems to have taken an interest in you." Kenny smirked.
"I doubt that." Just as Dante said that, Rose looked over at him and smiled.
"Yeah sure, she's totally not into you at all!" Kenny said sarcastically.
Few Hours Later
The party was drawing to a close all that was left was to announce the winners of best costume. The rest of the night was pretty uneventful. Callie and Bryan stopped fighting and spent most of the night outside making out and apologising to each other for their stupid fight. Tyson left early as Hilary and Robert spent most of the night dancing together, which the group couldn't believe. They all were convinced she liked Tyson back but clearly they were wrong.
"Now we will announce the winners of the costume competition." Ms Mahoney said and opened an envelope. "And the winners are…..Michael and Mariam. Congratulations." She smiled at them and handed them their trophies when they got up on stage.
"Shocker those two won." Tala spat. "Seriously their costumes aren't even creative. Michael is a zombie baseball player and she's a zombie cheerleader. Really like that hasn't been done before."
"Even if they weren't wearing costumes they would still win. That's the power of being popular for you." Callie said.
Max felt sick watching those two on stage kissing and celebrating their win. Mariam shouldn't be on stage with Michael. Max just glared at them which Callie noticed but before she could say anything, Max ran out of the hall. Callie was about to go after him when she felt someone grab her wrist.
"Just leave him be." Bryan told her. "I know you want to help him but right now he needs to be alone."
Callie was going to protest but knew Bryan was right. She wouldn't be helping Max right now but asking him endless questions. The party ended when Michael and Mariam finally got off the stage. Callie's limo took everyone home.
Rose is 15 and a sophomore. Thanks to everyone that has reviewed ^_^ It means a lot :D Please review Until next time!
