REad and REView
It was the last day of October and not only it was a cold day, but it was too one of the days that little children couldn't wait for. It was the Halloween day. Every house was ready for such day. As usual, the orange pumpkins were the main decoration.
The trio from the catholic school was making their way out of the school when started discussing the special day,
- I miss being a kid - Torrie commented with a nostalgic smile. - I remember how I was always excited for going to collect candies.
- The old ladies were very nice. They would always fill my bag with lollipops, jellybeans and my all time favourite liquorice. - The other blonde remembered the years of "Trick or Treat". - I always loved to see the decoration.
- What do you think about a walk tonight to go see it?
- I can't. My parents have to go to a Charity Dinner and I'm going to babysit Kyle. I'm going to spend my night sat on the couch watching horror movies and answering the door with a full bald of sweets.
- What about you, Candice? - A smile was showed by Candice when Torrie did the question. She had already plans for the night in question.
- Well, this year I'm going to dress up a mask. I'm going take Damon around the neighbourhood.
- Is his brother going with you? - The smile the brunette was giving her friends could only mean Punk would be around.
- Damon told me he would convince him to come. I really want him to come, but at the same time I don't. If he comes his girlfriend will show up and I don't want her to come with us. - Candice exclaimed a little disappointed. She wanted to talk with Punk without disturbs. The glance Stacy sent her made Candice confused. - What's wrong?
- You are going after a guy who has a girlfriend. And above all, you are using his younger brother to get him.
- It's not bad as it sounds. Damon loves to spend time with me and I don't mind to hang out with him. Especially if it allows me to see Phil.
- You shouldn't be trying to steal someone else's boyfriend.
The atmosphere was getting intense between Stacy and Candice. They should known that someday Stacy was going to try to convince Candice that what she was doing was incorrect. Torrie was caught between the two without know what to say.
- Stacy, don't even try to judge me. I'm not doing anything wrong.
- You are flirting with a boy who has a girlfriend. I may be wrong, but if you achieve your goal, he will end up cheating on his girlfriend and people will start talking behind your back.
- Why do you always have to be a killjoy? Why can't you be at my side? - Stacy was one of her friends. She should be at her side. She should support and help her. Not telling to stop going after the guy of her dreams.
- You want to destroy a relationship. People will start talking trash about you when they hear about it. You don't want people to talk behind your back.
- Stop judging me Stacy. - Candice yelled losing her grin. - Did you forget you have a reputation?
- Better have a fake reputation than a real one. - Felling angry, Stacy walked out, leaving her friends behind. Candice was doing something immoral and she couldn't covenant with it.
Torrie faced Candice, who simply shrugged her shoulders. Did they never hear that it's all fair in love and war?
- Hi sweetheart. - Kelly wrapped her arms around John's abdomen and rested her head on his shoulder. John took a deep breath to not lose his grin.
A few days ago, John had spoken with the blonde and told her they weren't an item. He thought she had understood it, but next day she was all over him. Every time he tried to talk about the subject, she would leave or would start talking about something else.
- Hi to you too. - John removed Kelly's arms and turned around to face her. - Can I help you?
- You never told me if you are going with me or not to the Halloween Party.
- Well, I'm not going to that party. - Kelly's smile vanished. A flame appeared in her eyes. - I have a late practice and after it I'm going to be very exhausted.
- Please John. It would be awkward to show up without you.
- Why would it be awkward? - John couldn't believe he was going to have the same talk again with Kelly. - We aren't together. You can go wherever you want without me.
- I'll come to watch your practice. After it, we see if we are going or not. If you don't feel tired, we can go.
John wanted to protest, but Kelly had already made her way away him. She joined the twins and a couple of minutes later there was no sign of them.
- Great. - John whispered to himself with a lot of sarcasm. Not only he had more practices than the rest of the team (it was the punishment for missing a game), now he had to handle Kelly's hallucinations about them being a couple.
Getting closer of her girl friends, Ashley noticed they stopped talking. It had been a while since it started to happen. Every time she would approach Amy and Trish, they would stop their conversation or would find a new topic to talk about.
- Hi. - Amy greeted Ashley, who took a seat at her and Trish's side. Trish showed a forced smile.
- I was waiting for you. Didn't we agree to meet after school to go the mall? - Ashley fought the urge to ask them what they were hiding from her. They were best friends, but she was being kept aside.
- I'm so sorry Ashley. We forgot about it.
- That's fine. We can go now. - Ashley proposed and saw Amy's eyes placed on a speechless Trish. If Ashley remembered right, it has been since Trish got so quiet that she had been left apart.
Ashley asked herself if she had done something wrong and now they were mad with her. Getting back in time, she couldn't recall anything.
- Can we go tomorrow? - Amy spoke and Ashley gave them a fake smile. Being left apart was hurting her.
- See you tomorrow girls. - She stood up and walked away. Promising herself she would discover what was happening, Ashley left the school grounds.
Candice was left behind with Phil when Damon went to knock on the door of one of the neighbourhood houses. The opportunities to start a conversation between the two teenagers were scarce because of Damon, who wouldn't keep quiet not even for a moment.
- Why aren't you wearing a mask? - Candice asked the boy who was waiting with her. While Damon was masked as a vampire and she was wearing Alice's In the Wonderland blue dress, Phil was wearing his street clothes.
- My days Halloween masks are over. Nowadays, I only take care of Damon and make sure he doesn't get in troubles.
- Why would he get in troubles? - The brunette felt confused. From all her "Trick or Treat" the only people who would get in problems would be the ones who refused to open the door's house. Kids would rebellion against them and no one would stand up to make them stop. After all, it was Halloween.
- Sugar is a dangerous addiction. - With his eyes always spotting Damon, Punk kept the conversation with Candice. - Kids fight to fill their bags with it. Damon could start a lollipop fight to steal the other kids' bags.
Candice chuckled. She was having her first conversation with Phil. It didn't matter if they were talking about kids addicted to sugar. The most important it was that she was having a conversation with him and it was going very well.
After so many failures, Candice had reached one of goals.
Every single dinner the tension could be felt between John and his father. They would sit across each side of the table and it was rare to have a conversation which wouldn't end up in a discussion. The silent dinner was interrupted by the door bell.
- You didn't say you were waiting for someone - John said and faced his father. "Please tell me he has found a woman and is going to leave me alone" John begged inside.
It had been a long time since his mother passed away. After her death, this man he called "dad" changed. He became a cold person. Maybe someone new would make the ice cube melt.
The older Cena didn't answer. He put on his feet and went to answer the door. Placing his hand on the door's knob, he turned it to the left. A smiling blonde girl was at the other side of the door.
- How can I help you? - The man asked very surprised by seeing such young girl at his door house.
- Hi. You must be John's father. It's so nice to finally meet you. - The smile wouldn't fade away from the blonde's face. Realizing how confused the man was facing her, she finally decided to present herself. - I'm sorry for being so rude. I didn't present myself. I'm Kelly, John's girlfriend.
- You are? - For the first time, he took the eyes from the other and placed them on the dining room where his son was.
Hearing a familiar voice, John decided to go check who was at the door. A quickly look was all he needed to see Kelly.
- May I speak with John? - Kelly asked. After the practice, she hadn't seen him. She wanted to make him go to the Halloween party with her and show everyone they were a couple.
- I take care of it - John exclaimed and finally reached the door. His father sent him a serious glance before leaving him with Kelly. - What are you doing here?
- I came to ask you once again to come to the party with me. As we are a couple, it would be embarrassing to go alone.
- Kelly, we aren't together. How many times will I repeat?
- I never thought you were that kind of guy. - Kelly showed a resentment face. "How can it be so hard to get with him?" Kelly asked herself feeling frustrated. She thought if everyone saw them together, as a couple, it would be easier to have John all for her. - You take advantage and then you walk away.
- You kissed me. - John got very surprised with her words. If someone took advantage in their situation it was her. Before he knew, her lips had connected his. Not the otherwise.
- I thought you were different. I guess I was wrong. - Kelly's eyes got watery. The blonde girl was going to walk away, but John stopped her. A woman crying was his weakness.
- Can we meet tomorrow? - John proposed. It was the wrong invitation to do when you don't want to date a girl who already showed million times she is interested in getting with you. - I can take you to lunch.
- I would love it. - Kelly kissed his cheek before leaving.
"What did I do?" John asked himself and locked the front door house. When he returned to the living room, he saw his father sat around the table with his arms crossed.
- I didn't know you had a girlfriend.
- Join to the club - John mumbled under his breath.
- What did you say?
- Can we end the dinner? Because I have to go work tonight. Felix asked me because it's Halloween and it uses to be crazy around there. - John took his seat around the rectangular table. He could feel his father's eyes on him. Thanks to Kelly's appearance, he had a new problem to deal with.
- Can you pass me the popcorns? - Kyle asked Stacy, who gave him the filled bowl. - This movie isn't scary at all. You can see the cut veins are fake.
- Classic horror movies are scarier than all the recent movies at once. - Stacy replied and kept her eyes on the television screen.
It was unbelievable how hard it was to watch a movie with Kyle. "Dawn of the Dead" was a good zombie movie, but Kyle's observations and jokes were making it uninteresting. All the horror was lost.
- Why can't we watch the "Orphan" or "Jennifer's Body"? - Stacy's deadly glance hit Kyle, who ignore it and kept giving arguments about how awful the movie was.
She considered to drag him out of the house and then to lock him outside. The rest of the night would be perfect if she did it. No more Kyle's annoyance.
Before Stacy and Kyle could start fighting, the door's bell rang. The older Keibler rose up and went to answer it.
A bowl full of pick and mix was on top of the small hallway table. Stacy grabbed the colourful bowl and opened the wooden door. The smile she had on her face faded away when she realized that in the other side of the door weren't waiting masked children. At her front was her ex-boyfriend, Randy Orton.
I'm sorry for the grammar and spelling mistakes. English isn't my first language.
