Hello

Jade's POV

I was still tired from going out late last night to get my impromptu costume, but it was all worth it when I looked at myself in the mirror just now.

I'd curled my black hair and added in extensions to make it longer so it went down to just above where my pants ended. My makeup had come out perfectly with my lips a vibrant shade of red.

The store Kris had found yesterday turned out to be another adult toys etc. place that mostly sold lingerie. I'd managed to find a pair of tight black leather pants that were now hugging my hips comfortably, and a simple black corset.

It wasn't near as perfect as the dress Cat and I had started making, but it would do. Paired with my Jeffrey Campbell black spike litas, I looked pretty good; or so I thought. The finishing touch, though, was the pair of fangs I'd just glued onto my teeth.

I flashed a smile and couldn't believe they were fake. I'd opted to drive myself to school today, wanting to arrive to school without Kris smearing my makeup, but took a picture to send to him in the meantime.

He'd responded with some comments I'm not comfortable repeating as a respectable lady, but laughed at anyways. I made my way to school and parked near the front of the school where most kids were gathered to hang out before school.

I put on my black Ray Bans and made my entrance. As soon as I began walking, I could feel peoples' eyes on me. Most of the time that got on my nerves, but today I loved it. I ignored everyone's obvious gawking and made my way to Tori's locker, where she, Ally, Cat, and Robbie were standing.

"Wow," Tori said, dressed up as Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz but with red glitter converse.

"JJ!" Cat exclaimed, she and Robbie, who was clearly staring at my cleavage, were wearing big matching green pear costumes.

"You look so…" Ally couldn't seem to find the right word, and neither could I. She had on a lime green two piece costume…if you could call it that. The top part was practically a tube top and the skirt looked like underwear to me. She looked like a slutty crayon.

"Hey guys," I greeted them while taking my sunglasses off. Good thing that bruise had cleared up pretty fast, it wouldn't have gone with my outfit.

"Hi," Tori smiled. "I love your costume!"

"What are you?" Ally asked. I smirked, revealing the fangs and they all nodded in understanding.

"Cool!" Cat squealed. "But what happened to the dress we were making?"

"It uh got messed up," I frowned.

"Aww," she pouted. "It's okay, you look so pretty in this too!"

"Thanks," I smiled. "What are you two supposed to be?" I gestured to her and Robbie.

"We're…" Cat built up the suspension. "A pair of pears! Ahahaha." She giggled while Robbie blushed. It was cute how he'd dress up as a giant fruit for her. "Get it?"

"Yeah, Cat," I nodded. "I get it. And you're…" I started to guess Allison's costume. "A lima bean?"

"What? No!" She looked at me incredulously. "I'm Tinkerbell!" she pointed to the small wings I hadn't noticed.

"Ohh," I got it now, her honey colored hair was in a bun and she had on white ballet flats to match. Still, it was a really skimpy version to Tinkerbell that I'd never seen.

"Sup ladies!" I heard Andre say from the staircase. He walked to the group with Beck by his side. "Whoa…" he said when he saw me.

I was less concerned with Andre's reaction than Beck's. He'd been looking down at his phone, but dropped his mouth open when he saw me.

"Jade…" he muttered.

"Hi boys," I smiled at them alluringly.

"Dayyumm, girl," Andre nodded in approval. "Halloween looks good on you."

"Thanks," I said and looked away from Beck.

"Hi Beck," Ally said, trying to get his attention. It didn't work though, because his eyes were now glued to my ass in these tight pants. "Beck?"

"Huh? What?" He snapped out of it and looked to Allison's almost bare body. She stood up straighter and arched her back to stick out her small chest. Was she serious?

"I said hi," she said in a lower tone than usual.

"Oh, hi," he replied quickly and went to his locker below us.

"Hey, where are your guys' costumes?" Tori said to Andre and Beck. Good question.

"I'm saving mine for the partay tomorrow night," Andre said smoothly. "Heh you know how it is."

"And you?" Tori question Beck as he stood up to our level again.

"Oh, I don't dress up," He said as if it was common knowledge. "Come on, don't act surprised, I never do. I'm too happy being myself." He joked lamely.

"Buzz kill," I said, bringing his attention back to me. His eyes lingered on mine till we all started to walk to class.

Allison immediately walked in front of him, strutting like she was on a runway somewhere, while he seemed to be more interested in his shoes.

I smiled to myself at his lack of recognition towards Ally. He clearly couldn't see her obvious attempts to win him back with her body.

Not that I cared.

Beck's POV

As we all walked to Sikowitz' class, I had to force myself to stare at the floor instead of Jade. She looked beyond amazing. And sexy. And…

Words just couldn't describe.

The only bad thing about her outfit was that everyone could see it. Which sounds dumb, but seriously every guy we passed by stopped to check her out. Most of me wanted to put my arms around her and kiss her publicly so everyone knew who she was with…but then the other part of me reminded myself that she wasn't with me.

She was with Kristofer. With a K. Ugh, what a douche bag. I shook my head at the thought of him, and maneuvered my way into the seat next to Jade's with Ally to my right.

After our talk, Ally had seemed to be nicer to me, well we were speaking and acting like friends; that was good. Maybe if Jade and I ever actually started dating for real, Ally wouldn't mind.

"Alright kiddies!" Sikowitz said as he hung upside down from the ceiling. His antics were so strange. "In light of the minimum day today and the festivities, let's play a special Halloween edition of alphabetical improv!"

Special edition?

"Sinjin my boy!" He called to the unsuspecting boy in the back row. "Pick your team!"

"Jade, Tori, Ally, Cat—" Sinjin started.

"Not just girls!" Sikowitz interjected.

"Beck," he sighed and trudged up to the stage. This was new, I'd never played this game with all girls or Sinjin.

"Hehehe," Cat giggled when we were all on stage. "He said Ally Cat. Hehehe like alley cat, but not really 'cause Ally's not an alley. And I'm not a cat haha."

"Yes, Cat, very good," Sikowitz ignored her usual behavior. "Now children, in this special edition of alphabetical impov, you must only reference Halloween-like topics, understand? Good! Andre, pick a letter!"

"B!" Andre yelled, and we began.

"Boo!" Tori shouted.

"Ahh!" Cat shrieked. "Could've given me a heart attack!"

"Don't you know that's what ghosts say?" Tori replied.

"Especially on Halloween," Jade spoke and I stared like a loser.

"Funny people, ghosts are," Ally said from somewhere to my left.

"Ghosts are just misunderstood," Jade defended the ghouls and I wasn't surprised.

"How do you figure?" Tori asked.

"I think they're probably just lonely," Jade responded. "And tired of people always screaming and running away from them."

"Jade…" Sinjin mumbled out of nowhere. Technically the letter was J, but I didn't like the way he was practically drooling over Jade.

"Kay, that was weird," Tori pointed out.

"Like totally," Ally agreed.

"Maybe we should change the subject?" Tori suggested.

"N-ything but ghosts would be great," Cat added.

"On Halloween, there's always candy?" Jade offered.

"Perfect! I love candy!" Cat squealed as she reached somewhere inside her pear costume to pull out a handful of assorted candies. "Who wants?"

"Quick, give me some," Tori got a handful and passed them on to Sinjin.

"Red starburst, please," Jade said with her hand out to Sinjin, but he kept it in his closed hand away from her.

"Sorry, red is my favorite," he said keeping his hand close to his chest.

"Tough luck, hand it over!" Jade said as she stepped closer to him for the candy.

"Up high!" He said, lifting his fist above his head, out of Jade's reach.

"Very immature," I said like anyone was listening, I looked to the class to see most of the boys leaning forward in their seats. I turned to see what they were staring at. Jade was now pressed up against Sinjin's lanky body to reach for the candy while he blushed like crazy and smiled like a fool.

"Wish I was taller," Jade said to no one in particular.

"X-actly how I feel a

ll the time!" Cat jumped in. I stared at Jade's wiggling body as she inched closer and closer to the starburst while her corset started to rise up. With ever shimmy her hips did, it got higher and higher till it revealed her small belly button stud. With all those people staring, something came over me and I took off my jean jacket immediately.

"You look cold, take my jacket." I said quickly to Jade after she'd resorted to punching Sinjin's stomach to make him drop the candy.

"What?" She looked to me confused after she picked up the starburst.

"Just take it." I urged, holding it out to her.

"Eeeee eeee eeeee." Sikowitz screeched. "Jade, Beck, the next letter was Z then A! You're outta here!" He imitated a baseball catcher. "And in addition to being eliminated, you've unlocked the bonus secret reason we're playing this game!" He clapped excitedly.

"What reason?" I asked, almost wishing I hadn't.

"Well it seems I was supposed to recruit students to participate in tonight's Back to School night for the parent's but it slipped my mind," he shrugged as if he even remembered this responsibility. Oh, no. "And since you two lost first, congratulations! You get to man the welcome booth tonight!"

"What?!" Jade shrieked, clearly not happy. "I can't, I'm performing tonight!"

"Relax young child," Sikowitz said calmly. "Back to School night is before the spectacular, isn't that great?" He laughed to himself.

"Ugh!" Jade said as she took her seat. I sat down next to her, and pretended not to be happy that I'd get to spend another few hours with Jade.

Maybe this time we wouldn't get interrupted?
