October 8
I went dress shopping with Brittney. We stopped by at a couple department stores, but nothing came to my liking. So then we went to the mall. Every store we went that had dresses, none was the right one. I was losing hope. Brittney said it's normal to be picky on homecoming dress. All the girls want to look stunning. Three hours pasted and no dress. I gave up for the day maybe next time.
When I came home, I didn't like this feeling of quitting on this special dress in mind because my hopes were sky high. I still wanted to look. So at midnight when everyone is sleeping, I went on the computer. I looked on the internet for the brand name stores first. Nothing. Patience wasn't on my side. Then I tried Google. I was relieved. Some prom dress website solved my problem. It was this Fuchsia colored short spaghetti strap dress with bow just below the boob line and has glittered polka dots. It was perfect for me and five day mail shipping, perfect timing. Good thing I found this dress now then a week later.

Max wanted to hang with me tonight. I was looking for this day ever since I was grounded. So we hung out in my house for awhile and drove to the get-together. I introduce him to the aunts and uncles. Most cousins already know him. We stayed there enough to have the guy cousins comfortable around him. We left as the night grew pitch-black. Adriana and David came along. Brittney and a tall blonde guy also. Lauren would have come if she didn't have her homecoming dance.
The roads get rockier and total blackness as we got closer. The only thing that guided us was the headlights of our car and the few around us. A dim light hover a sign only bright enough to be able to read the word on it. "Scary Acres" it read. Chills went down my spine just knowing that frights are all in tonight. It was comfort by Max when he wraps his arm around my shoulders. As we all walked out of the car, those scary theme songs that you always hear in scary movies when something bad will happen to the character. Walking through the gates, people swarm every spot you look. Well maybe I'm over exaggerating, but there were quite a lot people there. Bonfires flicker fire with wooden benches set around it.
As we were in the next ones in line, we had our line in ordered: Max, me, Adriana, David, Brittney, then her guy. Everyone was too chicken to be the first one so Max just said, "whatever, I'll be it." It started out every dark that we couldn't even see. As the scene changes when we keep on walking, we stumbled on each others feet. I was holding tight around Max's waist and if my instincts fell like something scary is going to happen I bury my face on to his back. Our hearts jumped as dead people pop out of nowhere. It ended with a chain saw racket noise and was pushed by Adriana screaming her lungs out when she was running which made me run and Max as well.
We decided to chill down for awhile as the girls get their hearts in the normal beat. Max got me a hot chocolate and the gang sat on the wooded benches around the bonfire. I scoot closer to him as I felt the wind breeze. He put his arms around.
"Having fun?" He asked
"Yup. Good thing I have my amazing boyfriend protecting me" I laughed
"Really? How amazing?"
"Ehh so-so" I teased.
It grew a wide grin on both of our faces. We stayed there for a half an hour and crack up laugh as we see people screeching as they exit the haunted house. Before we stood up, I saw a girl that looked familiar. I seen her before but don't actually know her. Passing by, she had to take a second look at Max. Looking at me cuddled next to him, she squinted her eyes hard on me. Where have I seen her?
Everyone got up and headed for the parking lot. In the corner of my eye, I spotted that Max had that look that must have recognize that same face I saw. As she was walking by us wit a couple of her buddies, Max follow his eyes to her so I leaned in and kissed him on the cheek. He took his eyes off of her and glazed into my eyes. It worked! I looked over at her and she rolled her eyes at me. What the hell is going on? HE is MY boyfriend. A second later, she was walking towards us. The next thing I observed is she bumping into Brittney and spilled her water bottle all over her.
"Whoops. I'm so sorry" She said in an innocent voice. Then took an evil glance at me, but smiled when she looked over Max.
Okay? That was so rude of her. Obviously Brittney didn't do anything. What a loser picking on someone not even part of her stupid problem. I so confused. Who is she? And what does she want?

I'm not into the going along with the special days for spirit week, but I did tag along with a couple: Pajama Day and Spirit Day on the homecoming game day where I wore totally in my school colors. In the halls, everyone is talking about the game. How we are going to win because the school we are against is a suckey team. They're also hyped up. Too bad I won't be able to cheer them on.
Actually I'm kind of used to it now. Being home and not going out a lot. I just have them come over. There was no rule against that. Especially Ethan. He always invite in himself to our house to just hang out. Now a days he just let himself in. It is like his second house.
Another thing that's been going through my mind is thinking about that one girl we ran into at the haunted house. Her face keeps on popping up in my mind. It's bugging me. It's not going to get off my shoulder until I find out where I saw her from. Max seems to know her. Just maybe I'll ask him.
