Chapter 16 – Return of the ex-boyfriend

A week and a half later…A teacher workday…

Rebecca sorted through the costume rack, still looking for the right costume. Dana was only standing about a few feet away, Nicole in front of her on the other side, and Zoey over at the counter, looking at costume make-up and accessories. "What about a cheerleader, Rebecca? You will look great as a cheerleader! Dana don't you think she should be a cheerleader? I think she should be a cheerleader!" Nicole said about a thousands words a second.

Rebecca shook her head. "I'm against the whole rah-rah-rah and miniskirts thing. Plus, I don't want the entire boy population staring at my butt."

"Rebecca's got a point, Nicole. Why don't you try it on?" Dana smirked. "After all, you already have the whole energetic thing down, now all you need in the blonde wig. I'm sure your boyfriend would love to see you in it."

Nicole let out a small shriek and went to go try it on. Nicole had gotten a boyfriend, and now when anyone hinted that her boyfriend would like something, she jumped to do it. Weird thing was, Rebecca was the only one who had not met him yet. "Thanks Dana."

"What are friends for, Rebecca? Next thing you know, she would have wanted you to be Beach-Baby Barbie." Rebecca giggled, as she still shifted through the costumes. Why did nothing appeal to her still? "Dana, what are you wearing for the Masquerade Dance?"

"I have a long black dress, a black mask, and some fangs. I thought a vampiress might be able to suck the sense out of guys and get me a date for the dance." Dana laughed, and still sorted through costumes, but none of them were really Rebecca's style. "What about you, Zoey?"

"Oh, you'll have to see, Dana. I'm doing a theme costume with Chase." Zoey had smudged some black costume make-up on her eyelids.

"You mean Sadie and What's-his-name, Danny from Grease?" Rebecca asked looking at her cousin, who gave her a suspicious look. "I looked in the closet, so sue me."

"Don't you mean Sandy?" Zoey picked up a curly blonde wig and put it on her head.

"Whatever. I didn't really like Grease that much. 'Sandy' is a bad example for girls." Rebecca still sorted through the costumes, not finding anything of interest still. "Perms, smoking, revealing clothing, drinking…She might as well been Cher."

"Aw, come on, Rebecca." Zoey played with the curly blonde locks. "This one looks like Sandy's. I'm getting it."

Rebecca and Dana rolled their eyes, as Zoey posed in the mirror, giggling girlishly. Dana sighed, also finding nothing for Rebecca to try on. Why did nothing seem suffice for Rebecca to wear? This was the only costume store in town.

"Nothing?" Dana shook her head. "I guess I'll have to make my costume."

"But, do you even have any ideas, Rebecca?" Dana twirled a curl around her finger, hoping to help. "What about Anna from Van Helsing? She kicks butt!"

"Did you see that chest line? They will definitely think slut when I walk into the room." Rebecca sighed. What would she pick?

"Well, Rebecca I guess we're going to have some more thought into this." Dana still thought.

Rebecca glanced at her watch. "Crap! I'm going to be late for rehearsal. Can I meet you guys later?" Rebecca grabbed her book bag, running out of the store. "We can hang out later, right?"

"Sure, Becca! See you later!" Dana called from the counter, while she looked for something.

At the Rehearsal…

Rebecca rushed through the doors, throwing her book bag from the stage and holding her dancing shoes in her hand. She quickly slid the shoes on to her feet as she took her place. The book bag landed on Ivy's secretary table, making her give a small shriek. Mr. Bender looked up at Rebecca.

"Miss. Brooks, you're late. I hope you plan to be on time if you are going to keep the lead." Mr. Bender crossed his arms. Logan entered the stage with a look of question.

"I promise it will not happen again, Mr. Bender." Rebecca flattened her skirt and adjusted her shoes. Logan smiled at Rebecca and she returned the smile. "Would you like us to dance?"

"Would be nice." Logan wrapped his arms around Rebecca's waist and slowly led her into the dance. It started out as a slow dance, but then into big band/ swing-like thing and then into salsa-rumba. The dance ended with a huge spin from Rebecca and her landing in Logan's arms. They were amazing! Mr. Bender looked satisfied with the dancing and waved them off to go run lines.

Later That Day…After Rehearsal…

Rebecca grabbed her bag as she had gotten off the stage. Logan put his arms around Rebecca's waist, surprising her and kissing her cheek. Rebecca put up her hand to hold his head next to hers.

"Did you miss me?" Logan whispered, huskily in her ear. "Cause I missed you."

"Of course I missed you. Why wouldn't I?" Rebecca gave Logan a quick kiss. "You excited? Opening night is tomorrow."

"Can't wait. Then I get to see you at the first dance of your school year." Logan leaned his head on her shoulder, still holding on to her. "Or maybe we can leave early and have a party of our own."

"What did you have in mind?" Logan moved to Rebecca's side and put his arm around her shoulders, starting to lead her out of the auditorium.

"I was thinking along the lines of making out under the stars, by the pool, me, you and the full moon." Rebecca laid her head on Logan's shoulder, thinking about it.

"I think I could do that." Rebecca laced her fingers with his. "It sounds…romantic…especially on Halloween." Logan smiled, leading Rebecca up to her room. They soon stopped in room 101.

"You want to hang out for a bit, Logan?" Rebecca unlocked the door with her key, letting them both in. "I have to wait around for the others, anyway."

Logan flopped onto Rebecca's (and Zoey's) bed. "Pass up a chance to be with you? Never." Logan smirked. "So, what are we going to do?"

Rebecca sat on the bed next to her boyfriend. "I really don't know. Talk? Goof-off? Just relax?" Logan still smirked.

"Wanna make-out?" Rebecca raised an eyebrow, giving a knowing look, then giggled softly.

"Why not?" Rebecca laid down next to Logan. Logan wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled into a kiss. Rebecca put her arms around Logan's neck, and returned the kiss. Logan moved Rebecca under him and kissed her harder. Rebecca felt Logan's tongue go in her mouth. A loud cough erupted from the doorway. Dana, Zoey, Nicole and Quinn were standing in the door way. Logan slowly pulled away and got off of Rebecca.

"Were we intruding?" Zoey crossed her arms and dropped her stuff on her dresser. "Sorry."

"It's alright, Zoe ." Rebecca sat up, holding Logan's hand, her fingers laced with his. "I was going to call you guys, anyway. So, why are you guys back so early?"

"Well, we decided to change plans. Instead of making it a Girls night out, we're making it the gang's night-in. It's you, me, Logan, Zoey, Chase, Michael, Dana and my boyfriend! Yay! I get to see my boyfriend!" Nicole said eagerly. "We are going to stay here and just hang out. It is going to be fun! Dana, don't you think it is going to be fun? I think it is going to be great fun! Don't you think-"

"Yes, Nicole we get the idea." Dana snapped and headed over to her bed to put her stuff down. Nicole climbed to her bunk and started dumping stuff on to her bed. Hair ribbons, eye glitter, a short blue and yellow skirt, a blue and yellow tank top looking shirt, pom-poms, body glitter, glitter glue and a bunch of other things you would see from Claire's toppled over the entire bed.

Rebecca leaned her head on Logan's shoulder. "When is everyone coming?"

A knock erupted from the door. Nicole rushed over to it and grabbed the knob. "Right now!" Chase and Michael entered the room with two bottles of soda, some bowls and four bags of chips. "Where's-"

"He's coming, Nicole. He said he was just getting something and he will be here in a minute." Nicole nodded, clapping happily as she took the chips and bowls from Michael. Chase kissed Zoey on the cheek, as he put the sodas on her dresser, then pulled her into a real kiss. Zoey pulled a bag of candy from her underwear drawer and poured it into a bowl Nicole had handed to her. Logan had dragged Rebecca over to the CD player to put a CD in, still holding on to her waist.

Another knock came from the door. Nicole jumped from the bed and headed over to open the door. Rebecca looked over at the door, hoping to get a glance of this mystery guy that Nicole had been dating. Nicole stuck her head out the door, and was talking to him outside. Rebecca watched as he entered the room. He was about 4 inches taller than Nicole, blonde, normal looking pale skin, and crystal blue eyes. Rebecca suddenly turned pale. It was him. It wasn't that she was afraid of him, but he had almost ruined her life. He was the reason she had to leave New Jersey and had to move to Florida. He had found her.

Finally he noticed her. "Rebecca Brooks." He said disdainfully.

"Duncan James." She spat. Duncan eyed Logan's arm around her waist, in anger or maybe jealously. Logan looked back between his girlfriend and the 'Duncan' guy. Something told him, that they knew each other.

"You guys know each other?" Logan asked, hoping to find out what was going on between the two.

"Yes." Rebecca glared at Duncan. "He's my ex-boyfriend."

Dun-dun-dun…Dramatic plot twist…If you guys want, I would love to hear what you think Rebecca should wear to the Masquerade Ball. I am still trying to decide, and I want to know what you guys suggest.
