….
With plans of Halloween getting tipped upside down quite quickly, I found myself at a true stand still. What I was going to do? I don't know, but I hope to God that I will soon.
Drama class came again, less buzz running through the students then it had been just day before, the ones leading up to the scenes. The only real buzz was coming from the fact that the entire class had to separate into groups that the Teacher had picked and perform an entire play, directed, starred, and put on by the members within the group. People were abuzz about the topics of plays the teacher was thinking of doing. And me, honestly I couldn't care less.
Another thing besides the plays that bounced around from people's mouths was the trip that the drama class will be taking later in November. We were planned to see Phantom of the Opera performed live, and of course the drama class went crazy about this.
We were supposed to hand in our promotion slips in a few days, but I haven't exactly gotten… time to get mine done.
"So, you know how you were saying that your plans for Halloween fell through? Well, I was thinking, if you wanted to help out with the haunted house my dad and I are putting on, you could totally do that," Leo suggested.
I sighed, leaning back in the seat I sat in, our normal one at the top of the theater.
"Nah, thanks though, but I might just stay home that day," I say. "Halloween falls on a Saturday this year; think I might just stay in."
"Awe, too bad. Well, if you change your mind, call me."
The bell was about to come to an end, and I was more than eager to get home. Tomorrow was Friday, and I didn't want to be here longer than I had to.
When the bell did sound, I made my way down, half excited that the day was over, half dragging my feet, not wanting to move at all. I was walking up to the Teacher when Will ran past me in a hurry, bumping my arm on his way, a mumbled sorry only ghosting his lips.
I stare at his retreating figure, wondering what had got him so riled up. I shook my head and headed towards the teacher whom was chatting away with a red headed girl, hair almost like fire. When they were done talking, I made my way, standing silently waiting for her to notice me.
"Hey, Nico," she said, setting some papers off to the side. "What's up?"
"It's about the permission slip…" I started, not wanting to look her in the eyes.
"Oh yes, you haven't handed yours in yet, right?"
I shook my head, biting my lip. "I can't exactly get my… Father to sign it at the moment. He's not exactly here right now…"
She looked at me, her expression set, unable to be read. After a few seconds, she sighed, her face looking almost heavy.
"No guardian to sign off on it?" she asked, her voice a little softer then expected.
"No," I tell her, not lying.
She stayed silent for a little while longer, this time being able to tell that she was tossing it around in her head.
"I know I'm not eighteen, but-"
"You know what? It's the first time you've been with us and I think it would be great for you, so I'll pull some strings and see what I can do."
I looked at her with astonishment. Had she really just told me that she would go around the rules to get me on this trip? I wasn't in all that much of a rush to go, but it meant missing school, and I wouldn't be alone, I would be with Leo. And we all know what would happen if I left Leo all by himself on a trip.
"T-thanks," I tell her, trying not to trip over my words as I try not to trip over my feet as I back up. "Seriously, you're, like, the coolest teacher ever!"
"You owe me one!" she yells to me as I open the door to the theater, exiting.
I think I was starting to like this teacher.
….
I sat at home, Coralline just starting to play on the screen. It was Halloween, and Hazel had already left with Frank hours ago. It was still a little strange sitting in the dark by myself. With a small pile of movies next to the beaten couch, most containing Tim Burton movies; I sat in the dark with a pile of store-bought candy.
Hazel had picked some up for me, stating that it was her apology for "ditching" me tonight. She said that if she hadn't been asked by Frank, that she would have turned them down, even turning him down if I had said no. But I would never do that to my little sister, I could see how he made her feel and I didn't want to get in the way. That being one of the main reasons for my pursuit to stop Will at all costs.
But speaking of Will, yesterday had been weird. I had noticed that he had been acting strange for a while, but I thought that had cleared all up. But during classes, he carried this distracted look in his eyes, seeming as if he was searching for someone, always on guard.
During gym class, the teacher had us play a mock-game of basketball, splitting us up on teams. I didn't play much, seeing as I had as much skill as a potato in basketball. So I sat on the sidelines, watching the ball go back and forth, being passed from one pair of arms to the other.
I had sat next to Hazel, whom had whiskers painted on with eyeliner on her cheeks and a headband that pushed her hair back ever so slight with cat ears on it. Hazel, on the other hand, had no interest in me. Frank sat beside her, and she spend almost the entire hour fretting over his dawn on dog nose.
She told him that he had to be careful not to smudge it. Even though it was the day before Halloween, people still wore costume. Hazel had forced me down with her eyeliner as well, drawing whiskers on my cheeks, threatening me if I washed it off. So I was stuck, for the entire day at school, with whiskers, cat ears, and tail. I loved my sister, but sometimes…
Anyways, as I was sitting there, totally not paying attention to anything that was going on beside me, I noticed that Will seemed to be a little out of it. He had a delayed attitude, his mind not fully on the game. His eyes would glance at the door, but within the same second, his mind would seem to clear.
This continued on for a while. It seemed odd. Will had been acting odd for awhile.
But that all happened yesterday. Now, I'm laying down on the couch, half chewing, half sucking on a piece of candy, watching as the sky outside got darker, and the movie screen flashed on.
Just as the clock passed ten, my phone went off. I looked over at it, the screen bright as it sat there, alerting me that I had a new message. I picked it up and opened it.
Fuckboy
Hey

I look over my phone, unsure if I wanted to see the photo. I went into the message fully, bracing myself for what it was.

I rolled my eyes, receiving another text message from Will. When the picture loaded, I almost dropped my phone. I tried to regain my grip on my phone, bouncing from one hand to another, dropping it on the blanket on my lap. My hand went up to my mouth and I looked away, unsure if I wanted to pick it back up.
On my phone screen sat a shirtless picture of Will, his hair messy. He had bunny ears on, suspenders being the only thing on his chest. His pants were tight, like, really tight. His muscular build evident with his lack of clothes. It was so bad, but I couldn't look away when I turned my phone back on. How was I supposed to respond to that?
