Happy Halloween
Jace Looked through the window as he saw Macey car pull into the Morgan's drive way. It was the 31st of October, and the night of the Halloween party that he had somehow been invited to. Although he did have inkling that it had been Cammie that had been able to get him and Macey invited because of her recent friendship with the 'party crowd'. He didn't know any of Zach's friends very well, he didn't play football or basket ball which were the sports that they were into. Of course he had been to a high school party before, it wasn't that, most of the time you could show up invited or not, but for some reason he just was happy to be going to this one in particular.
Jace had asked Macey to go with him as his date, although the fact that they were boyfriend and girlfriend kind of meant that was a given I guess. He assumed that Cammie would be going with Zach. Actually he knew so because she didn't stop talking about it in school. It was a complete shock to him that she still ate lunch with him and Macey after she started dating Goode. Ever since Cammie kissed Zach she had been acting different around Jace although maybe that was the letter not the sudden relationship. It was weird because every now and then Jace wished that Cammie had given him that letter in freshman year because if she had things would be so much different right now. Maybe they would be dating... maybe she wouldn't be with Zach, maybe, maybe he needed to stop letting his mind wonder and fanaticise about a relationship between him and his best friend that was never going to happen.
He heard laughter as Macey walked into the house and was snapped out of his thoughts.
"What's your costume?" Cammie asked as they entered her bedroom and gestured to the bag Macey had over her shoulder. Macey smirked at her, and pulled out a black leather mini-skirt and a really tight looking leather, long sleeved crop top.
"I'm cat woman." She said putting her hand out like a paw and purring. Cammie laughed and headed over to her desk where her dress was draped over her chair. It was a vintage red dress. Cammie had had it altered so that it finished mid thigh and had spaghetti straps. It also had black lace trim that flared out a little at the bottom like a tutu. She had bought little red devil horns to go with it. Cammie put them on her head and held up the dress,
"What do you think?" she asked shyly, not sure whether it was a good look for her. Macey looked at her friend in awe,
"Cammie you are going to look smoking tonight!" Macey said with a high pitch giggle following shortly after. Cammie blushed and smiled looking down at the dress,
"You think so?"
"I know so!" she handed Cammie the black strapless bra that she had asked her to bring. It was lucky the girls share the same boob size because Cammie didn't own a strapless bra. "Now go put that thing on before I steal it!" She said as Cammie hurried to the bathroom. The girls got dressed and put on their makeup. Macey had black eyes and eyeliner drawn whiskers, while Cammie had blood red lips and smoky eyes. They were both wearing four inch heels , Cammie had to go shopping specifically for red lacy stilettos and despite the fact that she wasn't a fan of heals was delighted when she found some. Cammie's hair was down and crimped at the ends while Macey's had a thick beach wave to it. After checking their makeup a few times they headed out into the hall, Paisley came out of the kitchen her hair up in a pony tail she wore a pink tutu and hot pink knee socks. Her face was all glittery and she had on little fairy wings over a cropped pink jumper, that Cammie recognised as her own. Paisley smiled when she saw them and spun around in her little pink ballet flats,
"What do ya think?" she sang
"I think that's my top." Cammie muttered, Paisley ignored her and looked at Macey, knowing she was the one who knew about fashion. Macey nodded her head in approval. On anyone else it would have look childish and frumpy but on Paisley it look quirky and cute. She was excited for tonight because her and her friends were going out trick-or-treating with the boys in her grade.
"Looking good kiddo," Macey said with a grin and Paisley smiled and skipped off to her room. Macey turned to Cammie
"My goodness that girl is a goddess." She said Cammie rolled her eyes "I would kill for those legs." Macey said referring to Paisley's long tanned legs,
"Macey you have those legs." Cammie said exasperated. There was a knock on the door which turned out to Jace. Macey left Cammie at the house because she was being picked up by Zach. After Paisley had left with her friends about fifteen minutes later Cammie heard the roar of a motorcycle. She grinned at the sound and hurried outside, Zach's motor cycle helmet had Maverick written on it in white sticker letters and Zach was wearing a Navy pilot uniform that looked like he had walked right out of the movie Top Gun. Jeez he could have even passed as Tom Cruise. He took off his helmet and smiled at her, his white teeth showing, she knew he was proud of his costume. His eyes travelled down her body. She looked so innocently sexy tonight it was unbelievable. He couldn't seem to look away. Zach didn't know what he was thinking; this girl was going to be the death of him. The more he got to know her the more she seemed to wrap him around her tiny pinkie finger. And it wasn't meant to be like that. He wasn't meant to actually like her but; it seemed as if he was so close to that it was becoming painful to remind himself that she didn't want him, not for real anyway.
"Cammie." He said. Her name sounded so sweet when he said it, it was like music to her ears, and he didn't use a silly nick name, or look like he was making fun of her. It made goose bumps rise on her skin and she giggled,
"Yes?" Zach shook his head,
"Get on the bike babe, we don't want to be late." She smiled and he gave her a quick wink. She through her leg over the bike and reluctantly put the helmet on her, crossing her fingers that it wouldn't ruin her hair. Zach put his helmet back on too and revved the engine of the bike. He felt her squeeze closer to him; pressing her body firmly against his in fear of falling off. He smirked to himself before zooming off down the street.
When they reached the party Cammie hopped off the bike and removed her helmet to look up at the house. The trees and bushes were draped in fake toilet paper and fake cobwebs. There were plastic gravestones scattered about the lawn and a skeleton hung from the roof of the house. Music was blasting and people were already passed out in the yard. Cammie could feel the heat radiating from the building and was glad she didn't wear tights with her costume. Everyone was in costume; there were a bunch of James Bonds and Cleopatras. Then there were the slutty animals that girls were dressed in and the witches and warlocks and zombies and fairies and Cammie was getting so excited and nervous at the same time Zach had to snap her out of her thoughts.
"Gallagher Girl you ready for the best Halloween night of your life?" he asked her with a smirk. Slinking an arm around her waist and turning her to face him. She smiled and put her hands on his chest,
"Absolutely!" and then she pulled away and started rushing into the house and to the heart of the party. Zach rolled his eyes before going after her worried that she was going to fall over in her heals.
Cammie walked in and could hardly see any furniture, it was just a mash of bodies, and she scanned the room for people she knew, Macey and Jace were in where in sight, but she made eye contact with a girl with cappuccino skin and gorgeous brown hair, dressed like surprise surprise, Cleopatra or some kind of Egyptian Goddess. Cammie recognised the girl but she immediately screamed over the music and started pushing through the crowd to get to Cammie, her eyes were bright and excited and she had obviously had a little something to drink. She reached Cammie and wrapped her in a hug, her strong arms crushing her,
"Cammie!" she screamed and Cammie winced as the sound felt like it might burst her eardrums. The girl pulled back, a huge sloppy grin on her beautiful face. Cammie smiled back at the girl, she knew who she was now,
"Bex," Cammie said unsure why one of the most popular girls in school was talking to her.
"Yes! Ahaha you are exactly how Grant described! You Zachy boy's new toy!" she yelled then she covered her mouth her eyes wide, "Oh, I didn't mean that you're a slut! God please just shut me up! Had a bit too much," she made a phone shape with her hand, but turned it into a bottle and pretended to like she was chugging down a drink. Cammie looked at her and forced smile, not sure what to think, she seemed nice, but probably better to meet when she was sober, the girl laughed and was about to speak again when someone interrupted her
"Bex what are you doing? You're going to scare away my girlfriend." Cammie heart hammered in her chest at the sound of Zach's voice. Bex smiled up at Zach before flicking him on the nose and walking away. Zach watched amused as the British girl disappeared. She was an odd one she was. He turned back to Cammie.
"Sorry about that." Cammie smiled and laughed
"She seems nice,"
"Who, Bex?" Cammie nodded "Yeah she is, well she can be." He said, he saw Cammie's perplexed expression and grabbed her hand just as Tina Walter walked up, she was dressed in a white onesie, her hair was in a tight bun and she had a headband on that gave her unicorn ears and a horn along with a little tuft of hair. She had white glitter powder on her face and warm smile. She hugged Cammie, who seemed to be getting hugged a lot this evening.
"Zach, Cammie! You are here as a couple! That is so adorable! I want you to know how much I ship you two together! Just relationship goals right here!" she flung her arms at the couple. Both of them couldn't help but smile in amusement, she looked so cute dressed as a unicorn.
"Thank you." Cammie said, Tina raised her eyebrows
"Any updates for your fans?" she asked and Cammie laughed
"Nope, we are as happy as ever, same old same old." Tina gave a fan girl squeal bouncing around on the balls of her feet,
"Okay okay I'll let you enjoy the party but there will be future questions!" she shouted over her shoulder as she headed into the crowd of bodies. Cammie laughed and Zach started to pull on her hand.
"Let's get you some punch." He said dragging her over to a table with food and drinks and red plastic cups. He dunked one of the cups into a big plastic bowl filled with a red liquid and handed it to Cammie. Both of them knew it was spiked, Zach from experience and Cammie from watching movies and just having a brain. She took a sip
"Thanks," she said, Zach smirked at her, her lips were so red her eyes looked so dark, he really couldn't believe it was Cammie, she was hot and the best part was, she didn't even realise it. She giggled as he stared at her, looking at him over the top of the cup as she slowly drank it, then the contents were gone and she gave it back. Zach gave her a look,
"Fill it again!" she insisted and he raised an eyebrow
"Um, Cammie this punch is spiked," he said and she shrugged
"Yeah I know, it usually is right?"
"Well yes, but-"
"And you don't care everyone else is drinking it," she pushed his hand in the direction of the punch; Zach did as she told and handed her the cup before getting himself a beer. Cammie turned so her back was to Zach and looked out at the party, she saw Nick dancing with a girl in a (slutty) nurse costume, though his eyes brightened when he saw her and he waved she waved back. He made curvy motions with his hands, pointed to her and gave a thumbs up; she laughed and gave him a thumbs up too. He smiled before going back to dancing, she downed her drink and went to turn back to Zach but he was gone. She sighed, well she thought that he might have asked her to dance, but he hadn't. She looked around the table at the different snacks. There were clear plastic cups all lined up in rows filled with orange jello. She picked up a cup and a spoon plastic spoon. She took a bite and the taste was very orangey, but there was some kind of bitter kick to it. She wasn't sure if she liked it or not, but she kept eating. The taste seemed to grow on her and she started to slurp it up. She wondered around trying not to look too much liked a loner. Then she headed back to the table and grabbed another cup of jello. Her brain started to feel a little fuzzy and she felt an unexplainable feeling to dance as she made her way to the middle of the room and started to dance. She shook her hips about and jumped up and down, Cammie felt someone grab her hips and start to dance with her, she slurped at her jello. Her feet felt numb and so did her tongue. She began to sing with along with the song, surprised she knew the words. She loved music; she just wasn't very up-to-date with the latest toons. She turned around to see her dancing partner and frowned when she didn't recognise him,
"Who are you?" she asked, his grey eyes sparkled,
"Does it really matter babe?" he asked her pulling her back and trying to keep her dancing, she put her hands between them,
"Um, yeah it does," she said and went to back way, she hit a wall and tripped, the wall reached out and caught her.
"Get lost, before I kick you out myself." They boy with grey eyes put up his hands and backed away
"Sorry man didn't know she was with anyone." He said before leaving. Cammie looked up
"Zach!" she shouted wrapping her arms around his neck, she squealed. Zach looked at the little blonde, when she opened her mouth he could smell alcohol, he looked at the cup in her hand and grabbed it. Zach sniffed it before swearing.
"Dammit Cammie, did you eat this?" he asked her and she smiled
"Yes."
"How many?"
"Only twoooo." She said holding up two fingers and laughing
"Cammie this is a jello shot! It has vodka in it!" he shouted and she squealed again and covered her mouth with both her hands,
"No!" she said with terror, Zach nodded his head. How had she not tasted it? She was so tiny, and along with the punch she had had, this was most likely drunk Cammie. She shook her head and smacked his chest. He looked at her
"What was that for!?"
"For letting me have them!" she shouted making her way off the dance floor, he follow close behind her, guessing this was the first time she had been drunk he didn't want to leave her alone.
"I didn't know you were eating them!" he shouted over the noise and Cammie scoffed,
"That because you left me! Just turned around and you were gone! I was meant to be your date Zach! I was meant to dance with you! You were meant to get me drinks and show me the best snacks and have fun with me! You weren't meant to walk away Zach! I was left to walk around here like a freak! I-" Zach was just staring at her, she stopped her rant. "What." She snapped seeing that he was looking at her weirdly. It was really annoying how much he could change her mood so easily, one minute she was angry the next she was content, then nervous. It was infuriating!
"Nothing." He took a step closer, looking straight into her eyes, she felt her pulse quicken as she stepped closer too,
"What." She whispered it this time,
"Can I kiss you Cammie?" he asked and she nodded her head vigorously before he laughed and pressed his lips to hers. She kissed him differently than before. She kissed him like she was made for him, like it was, real, one of the most realliest real things she had ever done. They kissed like they had done it before, but never done it before. Cammie's stomach was full of butterflies and Zach could taste how sweet she was, she tasted like orange a little bit of vodka, but he knew she couldn't be that drunk if she had been shouting at him and walking in those heels. He put his hands on his hips and pulled her to him. She was still tiny compared to him; even in four inch heels he still had to bend down to meet her. They broke up for air as there was a thud, it seemed that someone had been thrown against a wall, there was a cackling course of laughter that they didn't join in with. Zach smirked down at her, her lipstick now smudged; she looked down at her feet. The electricity running through both of their bodies was almost painful. She started to smile. Did this mean... did this mean that everything was real now? Surely things were different. You kissed someone like that when you liked them, so now were they really dating? They had to be. She thought, it was an unspoken thing right? Cammie giggled and looked up at Zach.
"Zach, can you do that again?" she said putting her arms around his neck and pulling him down to her face, he chuckled before doing what he was told.
Macey clung to Jace, kissing up and down his neck as they swayed to a slow song that had somehow been put on. He had his arms awkwardly around her his but she was too tipsy to notice his stiffness, even the frown on his face appeared to be upside down to her. He looked directly over her shoulder and to most people he looked deep in thought, as if he was in his own mind, not really paying attention to anything, but if you looked closer you could see his gaze glued to a couple in the corner of the room. Her hands were playing with his hair and he was whispering something in her ear as she giggled, then they started to kiss... again. Jace felt something tugging at his chest, he felt the urge to go over and pull Cammie away from Zachary, but he knew it wasn't his business. He didn't have the right. Maybe if he hadn't been with Macey he might have said something, but he knew that it would just be hypocritical. Sure he could date Cammie's best friend and let her watch them as a couple, but he couldn't even let her date a guy who he didn't see very much, that didn't seem fare. He would just have to try and ignore these strange feelings.
Zach carried Cammie down stairs to Mike's game room and laid her on the couch. Most people had gone home now. Grant came down the stairs and saw Zach tucking the only half conscious Cammie in.
"Dude," he said and Zach turned to look at him
"Hey," he answered back "Has everyone left?"
"Well the usual seem to be sleeping over, but yeah other than that everyone has gone."
"Cool."
"I'm gonna head up, I said to Bex I would be right back. I just wanted to see where you were." Zach nodded
"Okay," Grant turned and left again leaving the two alone. Zach bent down and pulled Cammie's shoes off her feet and pulled the blanket over them. She looked so peaceful and young and innocent. He leaned down and kissed her lightly, when he went to pull back a hand grabbed his,
"Stay," she whispered, pulling him onto the couch,
"You'll have to move over a bit Gallagher Girl," he said and she turned onto her side so that he could fit on. "Happy Halloween, Gallagher Girl." He whispered wrapping his arms around her small body. They curled up under the blankets and fell asleep.
