SUP GUYS! WELCOME TO A NEW CHAPTER OF MY BOARDING SCHOOL! THIS CHAPTER IS ABOUT THE HALLOWEEN PARTY! BTW, REVIEW OR PM ME TO TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT TO HAPPEN IN THE NEXT CHAPTER! :)

"Nudge, please let me come with you!"I begged. Nudge shook her head, arms crossed. "Nope. Not happening,"she replied.

I never thought one day I would be groveling at Nudge's feet, begging to be taken shopping with her. And she was saying no! "Please, I'm begging you, don't do this to me,"I groaned. Nudge snorted, eyes rolled. "You're being a drama queen. I won't pick out something for you that's too bad,"she answered, walking out of our dorm room.

It was fall break. Two more weeks until the Dance Committee officially revealed the Halloween Dance. Since Nudge and Anika are on the Dance Committee, both of them got to choose what the decorations and food and everything would be.

Nudge was choosing my Halloween outfit, and that was not a good thing on my list. What if she forced me to wear something to girly? I hated the thought. This wouldn't be the normal Halloween party. No, this would be one of the most important parties of the year! What would Nudge torture me with?

She sighed, crossing her arms. "OK, Max, I won't get anything to girly. Just remember, it's your fault for not buying a costume by yourself earlier," she said, acting like a mother telling her child what to do. I grumbled. "Whatever. Have fun shopping, Nudgie."I said.

She brightened. "There you go! See you in a few!"

"Ya, ya,"I sighed, flopping onto my bed. She closed the door. I heard a loud banging sound. "OK, Max! I'm keeping you locked in there so you don't escape..."she said from the other side of the door, her voice muffled. I crossed my arms, glaring. "Yeah. It's not like I would go anywhere anyway..."

She cackled.

I rolled my eyes. Nudge was evil.


"I'M HOME, DARLING!" she cried. I had spent that morning in our room, playing with a yo-yo and planning our next prank. I mean, how the hell did I even get a yo-yo? I was truly going insane.

Nudge entered, costume make-up on her face. She brought in large shopping bags and set them on the floor before locking the door. She giggled. "I told Iggy to lock Fang up, too. We went shopping and we got both of your costumes and ours!"she announced. I groaned. Great, what would I be? The freaking Queen of Hearts?

"You're psycho,"I said solemnly.

She agreed before replying, "Yeah. And you're not?" I crossed my arms, grinning and saying childishly, "Nope."

She pulled out her costume first. It was black with ruffles, and it came with fishnet stockings and a black headpiece. She held a fake cigar in a hand and some silver jewelry. She was obviously a flapper, and the costume definitely matched her, too!

I grinned. "Hey that looks nice! What's Iggy?"I asked. She smiled. "He's a gangster,"she replied, smiling.

I snickered. That was golden. "Wow. I thought he would dress up as a bomb or something."I said. Nudge looked at me, dead serious. "He was going to, but I didn't let him,"she said.

I stopped laughing. Nudge scared me at times...like now.

"OK!"she chirped. "Take a look at yours!"

She handed me heels, a gold headpiece, golden leaf earrings, gold necklace, flat gold bracelets, gold high heels, and the costume. Most of it was from her closet. I sighed, smiling. She didn't go overboard this time. I fingered the white dress with a golden belt in the middle. It was a pretty costume, but I wasn't sure what I was dressed as.

"You're Persephone, Max. Hades's wife,"Nudge said, grinning widely. I sighed. "Um, what's Fang? I mean, we are going together..."

It was true. Fang and I had decided we didn't want to go to a dance among so many couples, so we decided to go together as friends. Alex, Anika, Nudge, and the rest of the girls seemed to think otherwise.

Nudge grinned. "He's Hades,"she said. I groaned. Perfect. She pushed the outfit into my hand and told me to change quickly so she could do my make-up. "Oh yeah, take a shower, too!"

I quickly showered, rubbing my hair with shampoo and conditioner. I tugged on the dress, modeling it in the mirror. What would Fang think? Would he like it? Would he-

Shut up, stupid brain! You're going as friends, not dates! He's just a friend, so why would he care?

Nudge giggled, probably texting Anika and Alex about my unfortunate costume. I sighed. Well, it was a pretty cute dress...but I still couldn't believe I would wear this.

I stomped out, waiting for Nudge to attack me with make-up. Oh, she did not disappoint.

Her make-up was all done, smoky black eye-shadow, mascara, ruby red lipstick, and perfect dark-ish blush. In other words, she looked amazing.

She applied light mascara and blush to accent my eyes and high cheekbones. Then she dusted on glittery gold eye shadow and glitter all over my face. When I looked into the mirror, I was surprised at how good I looked. I actually looked like someone who could at least say they dressed as Persephone.

"OH MY GOD, YOU LOOK LIKE A GODDESS! I'M SO AMAZING, AREN'T I?"Nudge squealed, jumping up and down. She finally calmed down and sat. "OK, time for the curls!"

Nudge curled my hair, then straightened it, then curled them again. My hair came out wavy-looking. She wrapped the gold hairband with the leaves on it around my head, then tied some of my hair. When she was finished, it was a super high up-do with curled hair and loose tendrils at the front.

It was a pretty cool look. Since my hair was already brown with light blond hair, the over-all effect was pretty cool.

"Yeah!"she said, cheering. "We're done. The Halloween Dance starts in an hour, so Anika and I must leave and help set it up! Iggy's coming with us, which leaves you with everyone else...who might have disappeared to go to a cafe!"she said, grinning mischievously.

I rolled my eyes, groaning. "Oh, what a coincidence,"I said.

She grinned back. "Oh, yes. Now, let's go find the guys!"she chirped, dragging me out to the boys' dorms.

She knocked on Fang's door after yanking the chair away from under the doorknob. He opened it grumpily. I giggled. He was wearing a black cape, black armor, and a black sword and helmet lay on his bed. I snorted.

"Nudge,"he growled. She giggled maniacally then pushed me into the dorm. There was a loud bang, and I assumed Nudge shoved the chair back. "Shit! Nudge, come back here!" I smacked the door, trying to open the door.

"See you soon!"she called.

Fang and I groaned in unison. All of a sudden, both of us grinned. "Hm...you thinking what I'm thinking?"I asked, grinning.

"If you're thinking that we should prank Nudge and Iggy for this torture, then yes,"he said. I agreed, high-fiving him. "Great minds think alike, Fang,"I said approvingly. He smirked.

"Great minds also think we should turn some music up,"he said, cranking up some Breaking Benjamin. After three family-size bags of chips and 2 episodes of Spongebob later, the door of the room swung open. A cheerful Nudge and an annoyed Dylan in a Zombie costume stood. "OK! CHOP CHOP, LEGO!"she shouted, face flushed with excitement.

"This is gonna be such an awesome party!"she chanted as we walked down. Dylan separated, explaining that he needed to meet up with Maya. By the time we were in the gym, I could hear the pounding music.

"I PUT MY HANDS UP IN THE AIR SOMETIMES! SAYING AH-OH. GOTTA LET GO."Nudge sang, lifting her hands. Fang and I exchanged looks that read, "Gosh, is she sugar-high or something?"

We entered the gym, which was flashing with lights and Halloween decorations. Someone bombarded us. Justin, Tanya, and Catherine snapped their fingers. "GUYS! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU! WE'RE PLAYING SO SOON AND YOU JUST GOT HERE!"Tanya exploded, looking nervous in her Cookie Monster costume.

"Yeah,"Catherine said, crossing her arms. My eyes widened. "We're playing? OMG, I forgot! I'm so sorry!"I babbled, looking like an idiot and begging Catherine and Tanya for forgiveness.

"Eh,"they replied.

Fang shrugged. "Er, yeah. Sorry guys. And where's Sam?"

Justin sighed in frustration. "He's no where! Texted me and said he was sick. Big loser,"he grumbled.

"OK, I'll play his parts,"Fang replied quickly.

"We're up in ten minutes! C'mon, this party is just getting started!"Catherine said urgently. I sighed. "OK, let's go backstage!"I said. We went through a small hallway to the small area behind the stage. The stage was just some random makeshift lifted area that the school had made quickly and messily. It was decorated with a small fence in front and mist sprayed, giving a ghostly effect. Lit-up pumpkins sat on the stage, too.

"AND NOW, WE HAVE THE NEWEST BAND PLAYING FOR US...RISING ANGELS!"the announcer cried. The curtains pulled back and the music started.

Since we were the opening for the other higher grade levels' bands, no one except our grade really knew us. Time to change that.

(A/N: I'm still putting the songs up even if they're really long. I hope this chapter is still long enough, though :) )

-China Anne Mcclain, Calling All the Monsters

The crowd screamed, cheering. At first, people didn't really cheer, but then they started dancing and cheering with the music. I grinned. Catherine gave me a thumbs-up. We had a time limit, and right now we were right on time.

Fang talked a bit to the audience before the next song played.

Been through the wringer a couple times
I came out callous and cruel
And my two friends know this very well
Because they went through it too

The three of us were initiates
We had to learn how to deal
And when we spotted a second chance
We had to learn how to steal

Hollowed out and filled up with hate
All we want is you to give us a break

We're driving fast in my car
We've got our riot gear on but we just want to have fun
No we're not looking for violence, no oh oh oh
Tonight we want to have fun

No one's the same as they used to be
Much as we try to pretend
No one's as innocent as could be
We all fall short, we all sin

But now we aren't looking backward
We won't try raising the dead
We only see what's in front of us
We only see straight ahead

Hollowed out and filled up with hate
All we want is you to give us a break

We're driving fast in my car
We've got our riot gear on but we just want to have fun
No we're not looking for violence, no oh oh oh
Tonight we want to have fun

[Instrumental]

Get in my car and we'll drive around
We'll make believe we are free
Already proved we can tough it out

And we get along so sweetly

We're driving fast in my car
We've got our riot gear on but we just want to have fun
No we're not looking for violence, no oh oh oh
Tonight we want to have fun

We're driving fast in my car
We're driving fast in my car
No we're not looking for violence, no oh oh oh
We're driving fast in my car
And we just want to have fun

-Paramore, Fast in My Car

The song ended and everyone was screaming our names by now. I was thrilled, the rush of exhilaration pumping through my veins.

Fang grabbed the mic and cried, "NOW IT'S MY TURN!"

I shoot the lights out
Until it's bright out
Oh, just another lonely night
Are you willing to sacrifice your life?

Bitch, I'm a monster, no-good blood sucker
Fat motherfucker, now looks who's in trouble
As you run through my jungle all you hear is rumbles
Kanye West (Fang says: Nick W.) samples, here's one for example

Gossip, gossip, nigga just stop it
Everybody know I'm a motherfuckin' monster
I'mma need to see your fuckin' hands at the concert
I'mma need to see your fuckin' hands at the concert

Profit, profit, nigga I got it
Everybody know I'm a motherfuckin' monster
I'mma need to see your fuckin' hands at the concert
I'mma need to see your fuckin' hands

The best living or dead, hands down, huh?
Less talk, more head right now, huh?
And my eyes more red than the devil is
And about to take it to another level, bitch

None of who you goin' get, ain't nobody as cold as this
Do the rap and attract triple double no assists
And my only focus is stayin' on some bogus shit
Arguin' with my older bitch, actin' like I owe her shit

I heard the beat, the same rap's will the track, man
Bought the chain that always give me back pain
Fuckin' up my money so, yeah, I had to act
And short nigga but these ho's love my accent

She came up to me and said this the number two gal
If you want to make it number one, you're number two now
This the Goose and Malibu, I call it MaliBOO-YAH
God damn Yeezy, how you gonna hit 'em with a new style?

Know that motherfucker well, what you gonna do now?
Whatever I wanna do, gosh, it's cool now
Not gonna do us, it's new now
Think you motherfucker really, really need to cool out

'Cause you will never get on top of this
So mami best advice is just to get on top of this
Have you ever had sex with a pharaoh?
Put the pussy in a sarcophagus

Now she claimin' that I bruised her esophagus
Head of the class and she just want to swallow shit
I'm livin' in the future so the presence is my past
My presence is the present, kiss my ass

Gossip, gossip, nigga just stop it
Everybody know I'm a motherfuckin' monster
I'mma need to see your fuckin' hands at the concert
I'mma need to see your fuckin' hands at the concert

Profit, profit, nigga I got it
Everybody know I'm a motherfuckin' monster
I'mma need to see your fuckin' hands at the concert
I'mma need to see your fuckin' hands

Sasquatch, Godzilla, King Kong, Loch Ness
Goblin, ghoul, a zombie with no conscious
Question: what do these things all have in common?
Everybody knows I'm a motherfucking monster

Conga, stomp, stop your silly nonsense
Nonsense, none of you niggas know where the swamp is
None of you niggas have seen the carnage that I've seen
I still hear things scream in my dreams

Murder, murder in black convertibles
I kill a block, I murder the avenues
Rape and pillage your village, women and children
Everybody want to know what my Achilles heel is

Love, I don't get enough of it
All I get are these vampires and blood suckers
All I see are these niggas I made millionaires
Millin' about, spillin' they feelin's in the air

All I see are these fake fucks with no fangs
Tryin' to draw blood from my ice cold veins
I smell a massacre
Seems to be the only way to back you bastards off

Gossip, gossip, nigga just stop it
Everybody know I'm a motherfuckin' monster
I'mma need to see your fuckin' hands at the concert
I'mma need to see your fuckin' hands at the concert

Profit, profit, nigga I got it
Everybody know I'm a motherfuckin' monster
I'mma need to see your fuckin' hands at the concert
I'mma need to see your fuckin' hands

Pull up in a monster automobile gangster
With a bad bitch that came from Sri Lanka
Yeah, I'm in that Tonka, color of Willy Wonka
You can be the king, but watch the queen conquer

Okay, first thing's first: I'll eat your brains
Then I'mma start rocking gold teeth and fangs
'Cause that's what a motherfuckin' monster do
He a dresser from Milan that's the monster do

Monster Giuseppie heel, that's the monster shoe
Young Money is the Rasta and a monster crew
And I'm all up, all up, all up in the bank with a funny face
And if I'm fake, I ain't notice 'cause my money ain't

So let me get this straight, wait, I'm the rookie?
But my features and my show's ten times your pay?
50K for a verse, no album out
Yeah, my money's so tall that my Barbie's gotta climb it

Hotter than a Middle-Eastern climate, violent
Twenty matahran, go teewyin' it, wile it
Nicki on them titties when I sign it
'Cause all these niggas so one-track minded

But really, really I don't give a F-U-C-K
Forget Barbie, fuck Nicki sh-she escaped
She on a diet, but her cock is eating cheesecake

And I'll say "Bride of Chuckie" is child's play
Just killed another career, it's a mild day
Besides 'Ye, they can't stand besides me
I think me, you, and Jay should menage Friday

Pink wig, dick, ass, give 'em whiplash
I think big, get cash, make 'em blink fast
Now look at what you just saw, this is what you live for
I'm a motherfuckin' monster

I, I crossed the line, line
And I'll, I'll let God decide-cide
I, I wouldn't last these shoulders
So I, I am headed home, home

I, I crossed the line, line
And I'll, I'll let God decide-cide
I, I wouldn't last these shoulders
So I, I am headed home, home

I, I crossed the line, line
And I'll, I'll let God decide-cide
I, I wouldn't last these shoulders
So I, I am headed home, home

-Kanye West feat. Rick Ross, Jay-Z, Bon Iver & Nicki Minaj, Monster

(A/N: THIS SONG CUSSES AND EVERYTHING A LOT...YA, SORRY)

I was stunned by the amount of applause we got. I can't believe the teachers actually even allowed us to play the song. Somehow, we were 'of age', I guess.

After that, we left, accepting the praise we received from various people. Since Sam wasn't here, the teachers agreed to have him kicked out. YES! CHEERS

Then we started enjoying our night. Anika was wearing an adorable girl version Robin Hood costume while Alex was wearing a Mad Hatter costume. They both looked awesome, but they were telling Fang and I how cute we looked together. Let's just say it annoyed the crap out of me.

"GUYS! The senior band is playing the rest of the dance!"Alex said, grinning. "Um, yeah?"I asked with a raised eyebrow.

"THEY ARE AMAZING!"Alex said, swooning. Fang chuckled. "Uh, you're only saying that cuz you think they're hot."

Alex blushed madly. "Uh, no! What would make you think that?"she asked. "The fact that you tell everyone about how hot they are and the fact that you're blushing a lot right now,"Gazzy said, joining the conversation.

"Uh...but..."

Anika giggled, crossing her arms. "Face it, you think they're adorable!"

Alex sighed, blushing. "Yeah, they are..."

I rolled my eyes. "Alex and boy bands...gosh." Alex complained. "Hey! Not cool...I'm right here!"

I laughed. "I know!" She pouted, glaring at me. We laughed and joked around. The DJ started playing some random music, and it was a slow-dance. I grabbed onto Iggy, the closest person to me. "Er...hey."he mumbled, "Nudge is dancing with Fang."

"Yeah." He seemed oddly quiet, caught up in his thoughts. "Um, Iggy? How is...your relationship with Nudge?"I asked curiously.

He sighed, dancing. "Honestly? Sometimes it's a little rocky. Like, every guy in the only class we have together seem to like her. And Nudge, she just goes with the flow and flirts with everyone. I really like Nudge, but..." He smiled sheepishly, leaving me to come to the conclusion that Iggy would probably break up with Nudge if things didn't change.

"Dude, you can't break up with her. She would be forever heartbroken,"I said sharply. He nodded. "So..I'll talk to her. Don't worry. Auntie Max is up for some relationship mending! It's all good,"I said, grinning.

Iggy gave me a fake worried look. "I don't know if I want that..."he said, trailing off. I humphed. "Ugh, ungrateful prune."I said, sticking my nose into the air. He laughed, face turning red. He collapsed to the floor.

"GOD...MAX...DID...YOU CALL...ME A PRUNE? WTH! HAHAAHAHA,"he giggled. I snorted. "Iggy, you can giggle?"

He sighed, dusting his costume off. "Um hm...now I'll find Nudge. I think I'll talk to her, Max, it's OK,"he said before disappearing into the sea of people. I grinned. I hoped they sorted things out.

"Need a partner?"

I whirled around, meeting the gaze of the one and only Fang. "Yeah."

He placed a hand on my waist, and I thought at the point I started hyperventilating, my breath catching as I stared into those exquisitely beautiful and dark eyes.

"Fang...uh, do you like anyone at school?"I asked. He looked away. "Um, yeah."he said in a distant tone. I sighed. So he did? I wondered who he liked.

"Yeah? Who?"I asked.

"Uh..."he looked around nervously.


FANG POV

I looked around, anywhere but her chocolate eyes.

"Yeah. Um..."I paused. I couldn't actually tell Max I liked her as more than a friend. My eyes landed on a red head twirling around and acting drunk. What was her name...?

"Um. Her. Madeleine Underwood. I like Madeleine Underwood,"I blurted out.

Max was silent for a second. "Um, seriously? Ginger Bi-I mean, Geisha?"she asked. I looked down at her, amused, but she did not look happy. Anger flashed through her eyes. "You know that's the girl that is one of the people who make fun of Nudge and all of us?"she asked accusingly.

I ran a hand through my hair. Why was she acting like this?

"Um, actually, yeah..."I said, trailing off awkwardly. We were silent, reveling in Max's obvious anger and distaste.

Tell her the truth. You're going to regret not doing so.

I sighed, ignoring my thoughts.

Max stared at me coldly with an indifference that shocked me. "Excuse me. I have to go talk to a friend,"she told me. She ripped her hand out of mine and swiftly dashed through the crowd.

"Max!"I yelled after her, but she was gone.

"Heard you say my name. Wanna dance?"Madeleine asked, appearing next to me. Frustrated, I shoved her away.

I needed to find Max.
