CHAPTER TWELVE
I stood in the middle of my room staring at the mirror. I was dressed for the Halloween Dance which Brady would be picking me up for in about 15 minutes. I hate using him like this. I know i don't have feelings for him in that manner and therefore i hate the idea of him taking me to this dance under the impression that i like him.
I critiqued my look, hoping i looked okay. My hair was down in a loose mass of curls secured with a black alice band around my head. My outfit was a mid thigh length, blood red dress with a medieval style embroidered on it. It was held up by two thick black lace straps that dipped into a low cut bust line. The sleeves came down to my elbow, made of see-through black lace with torn effect strips dropping from the elbows. I had a pair of Gothic wings on my back along with a pair of black leather boots that stopped just below my knee. They had 4 inch heels with a one inch platform at the front of them.
I smiled at myself showing off two small fake fangs in my mouth. My make-up was done with heavy black eyes; eyeshadow, thick eyeliner and mascara. My lips were painted in a blood red colour to suit the outfit.
I decided that i looked okay and left my room to head downstairs. I got to the bottom and Kitty came running out of the sitting room and ran in circles around me.
"Scarlett, you look pwetty" she giggled and looked at me. I reached down to lift her up, holding her on my hip and smoothing her mousy brown hair back.
"Thank you Kitty. Are you having fun watching TV with Daddy?"
"Yep, we's watching Cinderwella" she smiled widely and i put her down telling her to run back and finish watching it.
"Smurff, get you little ass upstairs and change now!" i heard Travis' booming voice behind me. I stood up straight and smirked, turning around with my hands on my hips. He was standing two steps up from me on the stairs and has his arms folded over his massive chest. His hair was hanging over his bright green eyes and i smiled innocently at him.
"Travis, this is my costume, there is nothing wrong with it...."
"Like hell there isn't. Move, upstairs and change now!" he snapped, his voice gathering more force behind it.
"No! Stop treating me like a child. There is nothing wrong with this" i drew my hand down my figure and looked at him.
"Only that you are just about to fall out it and you can see your bloody breakfast, lunch and dinner. Now don't make me ask again?!?!" he shouted at me. I felt a flush creep up my cheeks at his words. I pressed my lips together and bowed my head slightly.
"What is going on out here?" my mom shouted, coming from the kitchen. She had an apron tied around her waist and a little flour on her face.
"Oh sweetie, you look really nice. Brady should be here soon right?" she asked. I looked between her and Travis, smiling at her before pointing my hand at Travis and raising an eyebrow as if to say 'See, i told you so'.
"Mom, you cannot seriously let her go out like that. It's inappropriate" he protested. I huffed and turned back to her.
"Well, Scarlett, aren't you at least going to wear a jacket?"
"But Mom, I can't. Its the wings stopping me from but i promise Brady is driving me and he'll bring me home and....I'll take a jacket with me and take the wings off, if i get cold" i pleaded with her.
"Okaaay, make sure you have your cellphone though" she pointed her finger at me before going back into the kitchen. I nodded and smiled, jumping on the spot, clapping my hands before going into the living room to join my dad and Kitty whilst i waited on Brady.
"Dad, are you going to let Scarlett, leave the house like that?" Travis followed me in and asked our dad.
"Look, big brother, you are not winning this. So just chill-ax and let it go," i stood up and pressed my hands to his shoulders, looking up at him "Let it go" i encouraged with a small smirk. He shook his head at me, looking over me to see dad. I turned around and looked at my dad, pleading with my eyes.
"Daddy, don't listen to him. There is nothing wrong with my costume...."
"Are you going with a boy?" he cut me off. I bowed my head, worrying my lower lip.
"Yes Dad, but he is only a friend. I promise, he is just taking me and bringing me home. He already has a girlfriend" i lied slightly. I looked up to meet his eyes.
"I don't see anything wrong with it as long as this boy keeps his hands to himself concerning you. Just be careful and take your cellphone" he warned like mom. I nodded and went over, kissing him on the cheek before hugging Kitty and then going over and kissing Travis on the cheek too.
"What's with the long face" i said pulling his cheeks into a smile "That's better" i slapped his cheeks slightly and chuckled.
"Back off Smurff, before i make you regret it".
"Oh really? And just what are you going to do?" i challenged.
"How about through you over my shoulder and throw you into a freezing cold tub of water?" he suggested an evil glint in his eyes.
"Got it bro'," i said hearing the doorbell ring "Gotta' go. Bye!" i said grabbing my money and ticket and then heading to the door. I opened it and momentarily my breath was stolen from me. Brady was standing there in tight black slacks tucked into a pair of brown wide legged boots, a loose fitting white pirate shirt with flared cuffs on the arms and string ties at the collar. He had a red and gold belt around his waist and i could see a black and gold sword attached to it. He wore a long red coat over the top; admiral styled as it lay open. There were gold buttons and fastenings on the coat. His black hair was messed up and his green eyes shone brightly in the dark.
"Hey..." he murmurred and looked me over "You look, wow".
I giggled and he reached for my hand "Thanks. You look...wow, too" i said taking his hand, shutting the door and then he lead me to the car. He really does look great. A sexy pirate. I thought he was going to go as Dracula or something like that. But he surprised me. At least I'll have one of the best looking dates there.
"There we go" he said helping me in the car and then getting in himself. I smiled at him and buckled up as he pulled the car away from the house. He drove us to the school, finding a space to park in amongst all the cars already there. I got out of the car, tucking my money into the bust of my dress and holding my ticket in the other hand. Brady took my hand and we walked towards the school. I handed in my ticket, along with Brady and we went into the hall.
I spotted Sasha and Tamara instantly. They came over and hugged both of us. Tamara was dressed in a seventies costume. She had a colourful mini dress on that just covered her butt along with white fishnet tights and white knee-high patent go-go boots. Her hair was straight with an alice band the same colours as her dress around it. Sasha was dressed in a black and purple strapless dress. The bottom was made from layers of black lace and only came down to her mid thighs. She had a big black feather in her hair and i realised she was meant to be a can-can dancer. She had 4 inch red patent high heels on as well. Wow, they really pulled out the slutty card on that one. I can't even say its cause their cheeleaders because then i would be contradicting myself. I just never expected them to be that bad. And at a school dance.
They spoke to us but my attention was drawn by the hall, which was dark and decorated in a purple, red and black theme. There were pumpkins, carved and lit around the room along with red fairy lights everywhere. Tables were covered with black tablecloths and there were banners and posters advertising the dance.
Brady told me he was going to speak to a few people and i nodded, standing there and looking around. God, this is amazing. I wonder if Troy is here yet. I haven't spoken to him in a week. He keeps trying to talk to me but i always see him around school with Miss Hutchison. I bet she is his date tonight. Well two can play that game.
I felt a tap on my shoulder and turned around to see Taylor. My jaw dropped and i laughed, leaning forward to hug her. She looked totally different, sporting a short curly honey blond wig and a pure white halter neck dress. The skirt splayed out at the bottom. Her lips were painted a bright red, like mine and she had a golden shimmer on her bare skin. She was wearing high white heels as well.
"You look amazing".
"Thanks, i didn't know if i could pull it off but i like it. I just thought i would go with something different. Are you sure it looks okay?" she asked, her hand on her hip.
"Totally amazing. You look fantastic. And you are pulling it off".
"Thanks, you look great too. What are you a dark fairy?"
"Nooo, Vampire Queen. Look" i showed off my fangs and she laughed
"Suits you" i chuckled and swatted her on the arm.
"Hey, Scar, you want to dance?" Brady came up behind me and put his arm over my shoulder. I nodded and looked to Taylor.
"You cool with that Tay?" i asked and she nodded with a smile. Her eyes were more focused on Brady though.
"Oh hey Tay, i never saw you there. You look great Marilyn" he chuckled using her nickname.
"Hi, thanks" she blushed if that was possible. I laughed under my breath. I sussed you out girl. We are so having a talk about this.
I took Brady's hand and he led me off to the dance floor where 'Right Round' by 'Flo Rida' was playing. I turned with my back to Brady and he wrapped his arms around my waist, pressing his lower body against me. I smiled and leaned my head back on his shoulder, grinding back against him. He sung the words softly into my ear as we danced, my hands pressed over his which rested on my stomach. I looked up, hearing a few cat calls and greetings and i saw the one thing i never wanted to see at all. Rebbecca Hutchison on the arm of one Troy Jonathan Bolton.
Oh god, he's here with her. And look at them, looking like the perfect couple in their matching costumes. God, she looks like she's begging for it. What a bitch! I hate her, she is officially my worst teacher. I always knew i didn't like her and now there's a reason not to. God, i really want to claw her eyes out and pull her hair from the roots.
I spun around in Brady's arms, pressing my front against him now, wrapping my arms around his neck. I pressed my head to the opposite side of his neck to that which Troy was standing on. This way, i don't need to see him. Brady ground against me and pressed his hands to my lower back. I could see the image of them rolling by my eyes even as i danced. Dammit!
I turned around, pulling out of Brady's arms. He looked at me and pulled me close whispering
"What's the matter?"
"Nothing, i just can't....erm....am not feeling too well. A little dizzy and really warm. I'm gonna go for some fresh air. Do me a favour?" i asked and he nodded "Dance with Tay?"
"Sure" he said and i motioned for Taylor to come over from where she was standing.
"Hey Tay, dance with Brady eh?"
"What?" she asked in a panicky voice "I can't...you know...erm...."
"Please. I need some fresh air. Please" i pouted and she caved, nodding and moved into his arms as i walked swiftly out of the gym, not seeing the pair of burning blue eyes following me.
I headed out the gym, and walked down to the end of the corridor, opening the heavy steel doors and stepping out into the fresh air. I sat down on the wall outside and looked out onto the night.
I heard the door creek open a few moments later and i turned to tell Brady or Taylor to go back inside but i was faced with blue eyes.
I closed my mouth and sat back down on the wall from where i had stood up slightly.
He stared at me as he breathed out harshly, his breath smoky in the cool night air. I took a few deep breaths myself and looked away from him. He was dressed in black slacks and a black shirt with a white tie and black jacket over it. Both the jacket and trousers had white stripes on them and he had a black trilby hat on his head, with a white ribbon around it. He had his hands slid into his pockets as he stood watching me. Some gangster he is huh?
"Why have you been avoiding me?" he spat out harshly. I shivered as his words drifted over and slithered into my ears making me feel nervous and slightly frightened.
"You know why" i answered shortly, not looking at him. I sighed and hugged my arms around myself, trying to keep the cold out and give myself some sort of comfort.
"Look at me when i am speaking to you Scarlett," he responded and i turned to stare at him, my lips pressed together "I have no idea what i have done to make you do this. You just closed up. We were fine and the next thing, you walk off on Brady's arm. What the hell happened?" he spoke clearly.
"She happened!!" i yelled standing up and throwing my arms out "Becca Hutchison" i spat "She is the problem. She hangs off you like a little whore. I hate it and i hate her. There are you happy!?!" i yelled and went to storm past him but he grabbed my elbow and pulled me around. He gripped my arm, his fingers digging into my skin and my hands braced themselves on his chest to steady myself.
"I saw you dancing with him" he spoke darkly his eyes darkening "And i didn't like it. I don't like the way he touches you and acts around you. He is toying with something that's not his" he bit out his teeth baring. I struggled against him.
"And so what? Your flaunting little Miss Perfect. She's hanging off your arm. But because he acts a little to hands-on with me its a problem. What did you expect me to fall at your feet and beg for forgiveness for going off with Brady? Don't be stupid, you know I'm not...."
His lips pressed into mine forcefully, his tongue delving into my mouth as it opened under the force he was using. My arms wound around his neck and i pulled him closer, pressing myself against him. He backed me up against the steel doors, the cold metal biting into my back making me gasp, opening my mouth further to his assault. I felt Troy's hand sliding up the side of my leg, pulling my it up around his waist.
He moved away from my lips, pressing his mouth down my throat, massaging it with his lips and licking it softly with his tongue before grazing his teeth over it.
"Troy...."i mewled softly in my throat pressing closer to him. I moved my arms down over his arms and down his back, tugging him closer by his suit jacket. His tongue trailed a path of fire down my throat and collar bone, sliding over the tops of my breasts which were just poking out of the dress. I moaned softly and i heard him chuckle a little. He moved back up, pressing kisses to my throat, humming softly. He kissed me on the mouth again, pulling my lower lip between his teeth and giving it a soft bite.
"Becca Hutchison means nothing to me. Baby, we've been together for nearly two months now. You know me better than that. I don't want anyone else" he stroked his fingers over my cheek, rubbing softly. I closed my eyes and nodded, leaning forward to meet his lips in a calmer, softer kiss. I slid one hand up into his hair, clutching it between my fingers as we kissed slowly.
He rubbed his hand softly over my face, tangling his fingers around my curls as his tongue slid softly around my mouth. He pulled back suddenly, rolling his tongue in his mouth and looking at me with a weird smile on his face. I laughed softly realising he had caught his tongue on my fang a little. I smiled widely showing them off to him. He chuckled and touched his finger to his tongue softly to check it.
"Poor baby, come here" i leaned forward and pulled him to me, kissing him on the mouth, opening my mouth to him and pulling his tongue into my mouth, rubbing my own tongue against his and suckling on his tongue softly. I drew a small moan from the back of his throat as i did this.
"I better head back in, you come in about 5 or 10 minutes after me" he said softly. I nodded and stepped away from the door, receiving one more kiss from him before he opened the doors and headed inside. I sat back down on the wall and took a deep breath and let it out, a smile coming to my face. I waited and then headed back inside, walking along with corridor with a huge grin on my face.
"Well look what we have here" a deadly voice came from behind me. I turned and gasped as i was slammed against the lockers by Damien; who had an evil light in his eyes.
