A/N: Hey guys Elise here :) so here's chapter 12, dont really need to say anything except for enjoy and this take place on Halloween! Oooooh! :3
I wake up on Monday morning by eggs thrown at my window, Ugh some Halloween thugs already starting this early to begin this holiday. And just to be bitchy about it the universe had to make Halloween on a MONDAY. Just great. And having to make November 1st on a Tuesday, which is my birthday, at least it's not on a Monday like it was last year... That had to be the worst birthday ever, still having terrible nightmares about Jack's death, crying myself to sleep, it was just terrible time period. I didn't really stop with all that until March, that's when I got a little better. I don't think even today I am totally, and fully recovered, but i am okay now.
I look at my clock and it says 6:23 am, well might as well start my day, I think and start beginning my day.
Since I'm one of the best friends of the school's president, she gets to pick people to help with school events, and since I am one of her besties, that's me, and the rest of the gang and a few volunteers. Goody for me right?
I start by going down to eat, my tummy is growling from no food since last night after going to Pizza Pizza with the gang, it was fun, I really missed chilling with them like we use to.
I decide to make a big breakfast since no one is up, I make pancakes, scrambled eggs, and bacon.. Mmm!
By the time the bacon is almost ready everyone is up , must have smelled the bacon I think.
"Happy Halloween!" I greet, then I realize that I'm in just a joyful mood, weird. They all grumble a 'hey' which makes me roll my eyes .
My mom kisses my dad and grabs two pieces of bacon, then starts running around the house.
"Susan? Why are in such a hurry?" my dad asks.
"Work wants be to come in early today, I'll be home by Five to start passing out candy, you can take care of that all day right Tom?" my mom asks.
"Sure Honey." he says kissing her again. I really hope I can end up having a marriage like my parents, a happy, loving, successful one. I never seen another married couple like this. How they still look at each other like they did when they were teenagers. I enjoy that I have parents who love each other instead of divorced parents who only got married because they had a kid, or they were stupid and drunk and decided 'hey let's get hitched!', then get divorced because of their mistake. I just wish that love was taken more seriously, with all that stupid crap where a guy only says he loves you to get into your pants, and leaves you alone and heartbroken, like there's actually a few good guys out there who would treat their lady right! And actually love her, and won't break her heart.
Then I feel a sting on my finger... OW! I was so deep in thought I burned my finger while flipping the bacon.
When the foods done I serve Charlie and Dad, and make a plate for myself and head to my room. It's 7 now, and school starts at 8, I better hurry.
I chow down my food while searching what to wear today.
Since its Halloween the school would like us to wear orange and black today, you don't absolutely have to, it's your choice, I decide I would like to do it, and since it's Halloween, might as well get some attention.
I wear a short sleeve orange shirt, with an black vest, then black jeans with an orange tutu. I know me wearing a tutu, unbelievable, but I don't really look retarded with it, so I decide to just go with it, yeah I'll get some stares, but who cares! I was goth before!
And to put the outfit together I add my black converse. I re- flat iron my hair to make it more straight, put my hoodie on, get my bag and walk to Charlie's room.
"You ready yet?" I ask, I have to drive him to school now since he's to lazy to walk. Ugh.
He comes out with this boring orange shirt with a pumpkin face on it and his black jeans and jacket, I roll my eyes at it.
He stares at my tutu and raises a brow, ha! The starring is starting.
"Nice tutu!" he laughs.
"Thanks!" I say smiling and walking down stairs leaving him standing there.
when we get to school, I meet up with the gang by the front stairs where we now meet up when I don't drive them. Like today.
We all walk to English class... I haven't seen Trent since we had pizza with Cody, one of my favorite nights ever.
I sit next to Duncan and Cody in the back, Courtney is in the gym decorating for the dance tonight, with Blake, and we're gonna help after lunch and stay until 5 get ready after that, then come back to the school and wait for people to start coming...
Then Trent walks in "Okay class, since we finished our other book it's time to start a new one." He smirks and pulls out a book and faces the cover to us. 'The Hunger Games' "I convinced Mr. Franklin to let us read them, since they are becoming a movie, we are gonna read all three of them so the movie can't spoil it and then you read the books. That's why we never read Harry Potter... But the Hunger Gamed series is the new 'thing' and since it's Halloween, why not spend it by starting a good book." he says, then continues "I've read the series and lemme say, you will not be disappointed class! Now let's silently read the first 3 chapters."
The Hunger Games eh? I've heard of it before, just never really knew what it's about, so I read the back of it as he passes a copy of it to me, we look into each others eyes as he passes, he smiles a little. I smile.
The book sounds interesting... I start reading.
*3 Chapters Later*
Ok, I like it. Then the bell rings
"Ok guys read up to the end if part 1! Do not go further! We'll discuss the chapters tomorrow." Then I walk by his desk walking towards the door. "Nice tutu." He says smiling big.
"Thank you Mr. Smith." I say leaving his class giggling.
After lunch me and Bridgette walk to the gym holding hands.
"Soo..." I say awkwardly
"I miss you Gweny, your so busy with Cody now, we barely hung out now... And when we do, you seem distant like you rather be somewhere else." She is my best friend but I think lately I've been drifting away from her... Not only her too, the rest of the gang too. I think they might feel it to.
"I know.. I just can't tell you why yet."
"Dude, like seriously what are you hiding from us? And I'm pretty sure it's not just one thing, I think you have a lot of things to tell me."
"Your right. But like, I just can't do it yet okay? But it'll be soon."
"How soon?" she asks.
"Soon." I reply, she nods, then we're at the gym. She lets go of my hand obviously pissed off at me. I sigh, I have to tell them soon, or if I don't I might loose them.
I walk through the gym doors and see the setting of dance coming along nice. Court comes running to me and starts yelling at me to make a banner for the gym door. I get busy right away. It's takes me about 2 hours to finish it, and when it's dry, Geoff and Duncan will hang it up. It's three- something now, school was dismissed. I decide to go see Trent.
But, when I get to his class... He's not there, there's a substitute teacher packing her things.
"Uhm, Where's Mr. Smith?" I ask her.
"Oh, he left school after lunch, for personal reasons." She tells me.
"He's okay right?"
"Oh yeah totally! ...Anything I can help you with hon?"
"...Oh, well not anymore, thank you anyways!" I nod my head saying goodbye. Hmmm I wonder why he left?
At 7, me, Bridge, and Court are getting ready at Courtney's house. All three of our dresses were here, Courtney kept them protected in her big ass closet. Court's dad is a lawyer, so they have a really, really nice house.
Courtney's mom died when Court was 6. She never talks about it, but all I know is that Courtney still cries about it sometimes.
Court is also an only child, so her house gets pretty lonely, Her dad is always at work or out of town. It's rare that you see him here. But since he's always gone, he makes it up to Court by buying her clothes and jewelry, and all that good stuff.
"Ok! We gotta hurry! We have to be back at school by eight! and the cafeteria squad are setting up the DJ table, and food, it only takes them like an hour! So hurry up!"
I'm doing my make-up. Eyeliner...Mascara... Eye Shadow...And red lipstick. Done! I help Bridge put her hair in a messy bun, she really pulls it off. Court is curling her hair, she's gonna curl my hair, when she's done with her hair.
Bridge starts applying liquid eye liner on the top of her eyes, than mascara, and then clear lip gloss. Usually she doesn't wear make- up at all.
Courtney sits me down roughly and begins curling my hair. It only takes her 12 minutes, that's because she was rushing oh and pulling my hair while doing it!
Bridge is ready, she's just watching a movie and laughing her ass off. I put on my dress without messing up my hair and make-up. I look at my reflection, and all I can think is how much I miss my tutu. Hehe.
Courtney is just putting on eyeliner and fake lashes, she already has her dress on. Then we're already. We get our shoes at her front door, we had to break them in. I get my keys and put on my mask and start the car.
A/N: I know what a lame way to end the chapter -_- but the next one will be kinda lame to... Because Idk what's gonna happen at the dance! Damn writer's block -_-
