Sorry for the too long not updating this story. Forgive me! Here's another chapter 4 you~

Chapter 9: The Halloween Party turned Prom? Really?

The Clark's family house.

We enter a beautiful house and travel inside to see a beautiful living room. Look to your right, you'll see a staircase and went up to the first floor. Suddenly, you hear voices in one of the room that you guess as the guest room as the other rooms have labels on them. You follow where the sounds are made and turn the knob of the door. What you saw inside is….

Ah. Let's change the point of view, shall we?

Marc's POV.

'Ok. Mental note. Never trust Lee when he said he created a perfect smoothie. Even if it looks edible.' I look into the mirror and then back to my watch. Rose will be coming to my house an hour later, so I cleaned the guest room that will be use as a makeup room or something. I couldn't help but sighed heavily about this. Thinking back about today, it's really was a bad day. And I mean it.

Today, the whole school was hyped about the Halloween party, even if it's on a holiday. Everyone was either talking about being the best monster costumes, the treats and some even thought about bringing alcohol ( even though we're still in middle school. What's happening to this world?) To the party but the conversation got busted by the teachers and they were warned with the threat of expelling from school if they ever do that. Anyway, it was early in the morning, right before the class starts, that a new surprise appear in a form of a poster at the school's information board. They were having last minute competitions tonight with some of the list were best monster costumes by male student, same with female student, apple dunking and etc. but the one who got the most attention was The King and Queen of Halloween competition. It was a couple based competition so whoever wear the best and match costume can where this. Talk about a cliché competition.

Thinking back on how many romance novel uses this cliché moments, I began to think that my life is getting there. But no way~? There no such thing as vampire, right? I mean Twilight was a creation of an imagination by a talented novelist. Not a real story. But…. Thinking back to the last mission that still doesn't have any lead….

We've been having other missions that didn't concerned the last mission but that's because the clues ran cold. Like literally, the killings just stop only on that day. We tried to navigate the places that may have high possibility of in housing these monsters, but all reveal zero answers and no monsters.

I sighed again. Back to the story.

The competition causes every students racing to find dates and talking to have matches costumes. As if other competition doesn't matter? Anyway, you think having a boyfriend, both of us shouldn't be having any problems, right?

Wrong!

Every girl (except Megan of course) wanted Lyric to be their dates and this is already a competition for them. Who's the first one will get one of the cutest boys as their date and who will he accept? Really, it's so cumbersome! I know we haven't tell anybody in our school, granted our relationship is still new, but come on! We even kissed in front of them, though it was during when they were trying to run to their class on time. Okay… Maybe they don't know but we always hold our hands, so doesn't that count?

I remember sitting on the fountain dejectedly, with knees under my face wrapping my arms around my body and knees which also covers my face. It was recess and Lyrics been getting notes and date proposals from all the girls from each class. AT first, it was just small amount since we all still have class. I couldn't help but glare at every notes passed not so silently to his desk. But that also because I was sitting next to him.

He didn't read every letter since he stop reading at 10th, having noticed that all ask for the same thing and maybe my devil jealousy face. I didn't mean it but every time a girl come close to ask about this, it just gets on my nerves. Just before recess, I was pushed away by a herds of girls from Lyric and like an emotional movie moment, we were holding hands until we were pull apart and never to be seen again. Maybe…

Ugh! Why do I keep having a movie cliché moments here? This is so not my intention or my life anymore.

I looked down on the fountain and see my reflection. My bangs were again trying to cover my eyes. I blow them away before putting behind my right ear. Suddenly feeling childish like Tony, I played with the surface of the water, writing an invisible word without dipping half of my finger into the fountain. Looking at the watch on my left wrist without stopping my action, the time shows that recess is almost over and I haven't eat anything. Being wishful, I thought I would wait for Lyric and hope he'll come to have recess together.

I look back into the fountain, seeing my hand manipulating the reflection. Smiling a bit, I stand up and tried to get ready to go to the next class, even if it's with an empty stomach. I walked slowly since I have 5 minute left before the next class starts and the class is pretty nearby. At the intersection hallway, I was supposed to turn right but someone else quickly held my hand and now? I'm running while the person in front of me kept pulling me the wrong way. We didn't even stop until we reached the art class room. I know it's empty after recess because the art teachers were very pushy with their schedule, so we usually have before recess.

After the door was closed, I found myself being hugged into a familiar chest with familiar arms and almost couldn't breathe. I tried pushing a little as an indication that I can't breathe. The arms tightened before quickly deflating into a loose hold. I looked up to see the person I wanted to spend the whole day showing an irritated face. EH?

"Why are you mad? I'm the one who should be mad here, not you." I know I'm pouting but I'm still the smartest here, so I didn't try to get out from his hold.

"I know and I'm not mad at you. It was never your fault. I just can't help but feel… ANGRY AT THOSE UNCOUTH GIRLS WHO THINKS I'M A PLAYTHING FOR THEM TO BE POPULAR! AAARRRGGH!" He muffled his screams into my shoulders while gritting his teeth. Well, that's not a healthy habit.

"I need to calm down before I go berserk on the next girl who tries to ask me when I said no! I mean, because of them I missed recess with you. And I already said to them I already have a date. But they think as if I would choose them over you." He hugged me tightly with his face pressed on my neck, as if he's trying to smell my scent. Sighing out loud, I hugged him back tightly. His shoulders are still tensed so I tried to calm him down by patting his back and kissing his shoulders. He shivered before his body deflated. He began rubbing his face more on my shoulder and neck before peppering kisses on them as well.

He suddenly kissed a sensitive spot and I couldn't help but giggled. Knowing this, he persistently tries to kiss more and began to kiss upwards towards my lips. With a chaste kiss, we continue cuddling with his legs and arms around me, both of us sitting on the floor behind the door. Chaste kisses were given even after the bells start ringing, signalling the end of recess, we continued sitting inside the art class knowing nobody going to find us here. Well maybe my siblings will but that because were spies.

After half an hour full of kisses and hugs of comfort which is not gayish okay! It's just how lovers would do and even if I'm the little spoon, I don't mind. I'm still a boy and both of us just love each other more than girls. We don't like other boys anyway, just us.

Lyric suddenly stand up, bringing me with him to our usual seats during art class.

"Wanna be my model for a sec?" he smiled at me and maybe I blushed a little but I know I smiled back and nodded. We just sit there as I looked at him drawing me. He giving me his full attention and I can't help but laugh at the crest of his head.

He looked at me. "What?" He asked with a smirked and wiggled his eyebrows. Mind you, it wasn't like a professional one, just a playful tries. But nonetheless, it was funny and I laughed so hard I have to cover my mouth before anybody could hear me.

He gives me another smirk before continuing his drawing on the canvas he taken. Puh- Even he can't hold his naughty side.

That was the time when my empty stomach tries to warn me that it was hungry again. And this time is very loud, even Lyric stop his drawing to look at him. I just laugh while rubbing my head at the back.

"Sorry, I'm still kinda hungry. I didn't eat anything just now-"A packet of bread was passed to me before I could finish.

"I know. I bought this after I escaped from the girls. I thought you would at least eat something but even I was wrong." He put down the pencil before rubbing my head.

"Don't do something like this, okay? I don't want my bride dying on me before our Halloween Party." He kissed my nose before grabbing the pencil and continue drawing. I blushed so red before eating the bread. Chocolate bread? Huh. Our taste are almost the same.

We continued until the next bell rings, indicating the next class is about to start. Lyric quickly hide the drawing inside an old cupboard before both of us went to the next class.

"Aah~ Even if it'll be in my permanent record, I don't care". I sighed looking outside the window. Lee and Tony was playing catch with a Frisbee and Megan is just sitting on the lawn chair while playing with her phone. I sighed again before looking at the wall cloak. 15 minutes before rose will arrive. I began to feel nervous. Is it the right decision? The school can be a little tough and discrimination is a norm with Tammy and her friends. 'What if wearing something like this will make others become prejudice?

After school over, Lyric was swept away by a limo with Ron in it. He said Rose will come at 4 p.m. with the costume and all. They're really making sure both of us match, ha?

Suddenly, a knock on the guest door was heard and when I opened it… Surprise? Rose was at the door. With my mom at the back looking confused and next to her was a maid holding almost all kind of bag known. Is that... a baggage?

"Now, dear Marcus~ we're got to get ready from now on so please! Have a shower and make sure you use the brand I brought. Even the shampoo and conditioner! I believe you are old enough to know how to clean yourself?" She enters the guest room before looking around making approval and disapproval sounds. I looked at my mom who still looks blank at Rose so I quickly push her out of the room and close the door.

"Marc, what? Who?"

"Sorry, mom. That's my friend and she wanted to help me with my costume." I smiled at her nervously. She just look at me before sighing.

"I just hope that's all you planning. Don't let Lyric know you're having a scandal."

"MOM! Rose is just a friend! And she's Lyric's friend! Please! Don't embarrasses me!" I pushed her until we reached the stairs.

"Okay, young man but don't get cocky on me. Make sure you don't do something you'll regret." She said with a smile before going down the stairs.

'I'm already regretting since the day I decided to where a vampire costume.' I sighed before turning around and yelped surprisingly when the maid was in front of me.

"I'm sorry to surprise you, Master Marcus but my lady asked me to pass these to you before you take a shower." I looked at the stuff she gave me and went red I see a bathrobe and… a black boxer? And with the right size? How…?

"Master Marc, please be rest assure that mistress did not stalk or spy on you. She just have right connections." She pushed me towards the bathroom while I kept thinking 'What connections?'

"Please be fast, Master Marcus. Madam doesn't like to wait too long." The door to the bathroom closed and in my arms, shampoo, conditioner and soap from different brands is added. I sighed for the hundredth time. What happen to my life?

End Of Chapter 9.
