Ch.3 what to wear, what to wear?
Clare's POV
I met Alli at the Halloween costume store around four thirty. I had a feeling this was going to take a while. I walked into the store and heard Alli's voice calling me from somewhere in the back. I couldn't see her so I pushed my way through all the scary masks and racks of children's costumes until I could see the top of her head. As I reached the back of the store I noticed all the costumes, there must have been hundreds of them stuffed together on the racks surrounding us. Suddenly I felt overwhelmed.
"So, you have any ideas of what you want to go as?" Alli asked while she rummaged through a rack of costumes.
"not really, but it cant be too risque" I said noticing how skanky most of the costumes were.
We worked in silence pillaging from one rack to another.
"what about a lady bug" Alli asked. I crinkled my nose in dislike.
"okay, I take that as a no!" she said with a laugh.
"yeah that's definitely a no!" I responded
She pulled out a few more costumes which generated the same crinkling of my nose or a shake of my head no. Alli pulled a costume off of a rack and let out one of her famous squeals.
" I assume you found something" I said turning around to see the costume she was holding.
"you have to try this on" she squealed again.
"don't you think it's a little too revealing?" I asked examining the costume.
"no, now get your butt in that dressing room and try it on! Your going to look so good!" she shooed me into an open dressing room before I had time to protest.
" okay, Alli I'm about to come out but you have to promise you wont laugh!" I said pulling open the curtain.
"Holy crap! Clare you look so amazing! Wait til Eli gets a look at you!" she exclaimed.
"one little problem with that... he isn't going to the party remember!" I said as I walked over to the floor length mirror.
"oh yeah, I forgot." she replied.
I stood there examining the costume I had on. I had to admit I did look pretty cute. I did a 180 turn checking out all angles of the costume. The bottom of the dress was the perfect length it sat right at my knees and the top was sort of peasant like with a black leather bustier that made my midsection look super tiny and wasn't too revealing at the same time. I pulled the red hood attached to the cape over my curls. I couldn't help but smile. I Clare Edwards looked kind of mysterious, and dare I say sexy even.
" is this the one?" Alli asked smiling from ear to ear.
" I think it very well may be!" I said smiling back at her before doing one more twirl in the mirror. Knowing that I had found the perfect costume suddenly made me feel full of adventure. I was determined to have an amazing time at the party even if Eli wouldn't be there.
"you are going to be the hottest Red Riding Hood at the party" Alli gleamed "now you need some shoes. How about these?" Alli asked holding up a pair of patent leather heals that had a four inch heal attached.
"have you lost your mind?" I screeched "there is no way I am wearing those!"
"fine" Alli spat back " how about those then" she asked pointing at a black pair of Mary Janes.
"actually Alli, those are perfect!"
I took the shoes and the costume to the register. After we left the store Alli asked if we could stop by the Dot for a bite to eat. According to her shopping works up an appetite. I agreed that the Dot sounded good mostly because I wasn't ready to go home and listen to my parent argue.
We took a seat at one of the tables on the patio. Peter was there a second later to take our order.
"i just want my usual" I said smiling at Peter
"and for you" he asked looking at Alli
"um... ill have a tea and an order of hummus"
" it'll be right up" peter said and headed back into the building.
After we finish the food Alli glanced at her phone. "oh no!" she shrieked. "Its seven-thirty my parents are going to be so pissed". I wanted to say mine too but I knew that they were probably too busy fighting to notice I hadn't come home yet. We paid our bill and decided to head home. "see you at school tomorrow" Alli shouted as she sprinted around the corner.

when I walked through the front door I noticed something unusual... silence. "Mom" I shouted "I'm home."
"in the kitchen Clare" my mothers voice trailed off. She sounded upset. Great I thought to myself I knew she wasn't upset with me, my dad and their arguing got all of her attention now.
I walked into the kitchen to find my mom preparing dinner.
"where's dad" I asked.
She turned around her eyes were red and puffy, "he had to go to the office" she replied.
"so no family dinner then?" I asked my tone sharp.
"probably not tonight Clare,but me and you can have a nice dinner together. I made your favorite spaghetti and meatballs"
"No thanks, I'm just going to go to my room. I ate dinner already" I shouted grabbing my bags and darting up to my room.
Once I finished my homework I glanced at the alarm clock on my dresser. Ten fifteen, my dad had returned about an twenty minutes ago and the arguing between him and my mom picked right back up where they left off. In attempt to tune them out I started up my Sony Vaio and logged onto my IM secretly hoping Eli would be online.
ding... I looked down at the right hand corner of my screen and smiled.
Eli-gold49: late night Edwards?
Clare-e23: I could say the same for you!
Eli-gold49: Well I have to go... gotta finish my English paper for tomorrow. You wouldn't want Ms. Dawes to kill your English partner so soon in the semester.
Clare-e23: alright, see you tomorrow.
Eli-gold49: Goodnight Edwards!
Clare-e23: good night Eli!
Eli-gold49 has logged off
I closed my laptop,moved it back to my desk and decided I would try to get some sleep.
