Halloween. Pumpkins, Ghosts, and Witches. It set Hannah on edge as she looked around the decorated hallways. Hannah may be on the Cheerios, but she still was the same girl as last year. Suddenly, her eyes were covered by a pair of hands.
"Guess who?" called out an Irish accent.
"Damian, sweetie, you're the only guy with a Irish accent." she said with a smile. He took his hands off her eyes and leaned in for a quick kiss.
"Are you feeling better today?" He asked, holding both of Hannah's frail hands. She was out for a week, because of her Leukemia. Hannah got sick often, but the teachers understood. She nodded with a smile.
"Well, you missed a lot. Audrey and Clark, well it's actually a rumor but still, I heard they like each other. Oh! Toronto is almost done filming at this school, they only used the Gym and the Cafeteria." He eagerly said, as they walked down the hallways hand in hand.
"Oh…were also doing "creepy" music, Mr. Shue said. I guess they already did Halloween music, so they're well, yaknow." He said with a great big smile.
"Oh, I hate Halloween." Hannah replied, and he stopped in his tracks.
"Really? Why? I think it's fun. I wanted to go with you to Tyler's party. I wanted to dress up!" He said surprised.
Hannah smiled and shrugged, "Well, as long as it's not scary."
…...
It was not scary, but TERRIFYING. Hannah had almost lost it as they walked through the haunted entrance into the house. Damian held her close, constantly assuring her everything was alright. As they walked into the house, the lights were down low, strange music was in the background, and no one was there. Damian took Hannah's hand.
"Maybe we should go, I don't want you to faint." He muttered. Hannah took his hand as they heard screeches and giggles. Hannah closed her eyes as he took her to the car.
"Um, were gone now." Damian spoke. Hannah opened her eyes, looking at the view of her house.
"Oh, I'm so sorry…I didn't want to ruin your good time. I'm so stupid." She muttered.
"Actually, I was a bit freaked out me self. The Evanescence music did it for me." He admitted, with a chuckle. He pulled her in close for a kiss. Hannah smiled at him, and got out of the car.
"Sorry, our date was so short." Damian spoke. He pulled her in close, kissing her again a little deeper. She walked up the steps and he followed behind.
"I've enjoyed it." She whispered, kissing him again, a bit longer and more passionate. Should she let him in? True, they hadn't even officially "made out" yet, but maybe that could change.
"Good." Damian whispered.
"Bye." He said. Hannah did a double take. He wasn't going to pressure her in the slightest? She smiled and waved goodbye. She ran inside and screamed. For the first time, Halloween had gone well.

"Um, since this is no doubt my favorite holiday, I'm doing a really popular song that I find…chilling" Maurie spoke. She wore a spooky outfit, as a fortune teller. She wore white contacts covering her normally brown eyes, her long black hair out and in wild curls. Her lips were bright red, as red as her skirt which came to slightly above her knee. She wore a deep blue Gypsy shirt. The strange music of "Judas" by Lady Gaga started up.
Maurie stood ready, singing the starting notes,
" OhohohohI'm in love with JudasOhohohohI'm in love with JudasJudas! Judaas Judas! JudaasJudas! Judaas Judas! GAGA"
She started performing the moves from the music video.
" When he comes to me I am readyI'll wash his feet with my hair if he needsForgive him when his tongue lies through his brainEven after three times he betrays me"
She sang so spookily, it was scary.
"I'll bring him down, bring him down, down A king with no crown, king with no crown"
She belted out,
"I'm just a Holy Fool, oh baby he's so cruel But I'm still in love with Judas, baby I'm just a Holy Fool, oh baby he's so cruel But I'm still in love with Judas, baby Ohohohoh I'm in love with Judas Ohohohoh I'm in love with Judas Judas! Judaas Judas! JudaasJudas! Judaas Judas! GAGA"
Everyone started cheering. Maurie smiled a bright smile, her song was a very different way of explaining what was going on. She looked over at Connor who grinned at her happily. She felt a wave wash over her stomach. She had to choose. She knew Connor thought of her as a friend only, but she felt a passion with him. Perfection or Passion?

" Um, My girlfriend, Hannah, suggested I sing this song. It's 'Music of The Night' from Phantom of The Opera. I'm doing the David Cook version." Damian spoke. He stood on the stage, very clearly uncomfortable, Broadway was NOT his thing.
He started to sing, slow and steady.
"Night-time sharpens, heightens each sensation ... Darkness stirs and wakes imagination ... Silently the senses abandon their defenses …"
A squeak came from the crowd. His falsetto was gorgeous.
"Softly, gently night unfurls its splendor ... Grasp it, sense it - tremulous and tender ... Turn your face away from the garish light of day, turn your thoughts away from cold, unfeeling light - and listen to the music of the night …"
The girls mouths were agape, it was simply gorgeous.
"Let your mind start a journey through a strange, new world! Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before! Let your soul Take you where you long to be!" Hannah closed her eyes, as he hit that note. The song was so dark, yet as he sang it, she loved him so much. "Only then can you belong to me…" He whispered, looking down.
"Floating, falling, sweet intoxication! Touch me, trust me, savior each sensation! Let the dream begin, let your darker side give in to the power of the music that I write - the power of the music of the night …"
He belted out, "You alone can make my song take flight - help me make the music of the night…" The Glee club had a thunderous applause, Maurie poked Audrey, who was pale, mouth agape. Maurie laughed.
"Guess the song worked on you like it did on Christine." she said with a wink. Audrey just looked at her.
"H-He is as good as Elvis." She squeaked. Coming from Audrey, who adored Elvis, this was a HUGE compliment. Maurie just chuckled.
…...
"Hey." Toronto called, taking Maurie's hand.
"You finished shooting?" She asked, he nodded with a brilliant smile.
"Yep, we can go hang out." He replied. She giggled and nodded.
"Let's go." she replied, taking his hands Maybe, she could keep perfection for just a while longer.
…...
"I'm nervous, Damian." Hannah whispered.
"Don't worry, you'll be fine." He replied, a large smile on his face.
"What will happen?" She asked, looking into his eyes.
"Who knows?" He replied. She nodded, kissing him before walking into Sue's office.
"Enter." she heard. Hannah walked in, looking down at her uniform.
"Coach? I-I-I quit." She muttered, running her fingers through her hair.
"Nonsense, you either die or graduate to leave the Cheerios. Usually the first." Coach snapped. I put the uniform on the table. Coach looked up angrily.
"Blondie, I suggest you don't-" Sue started, but I didn't hear the rest. I had walked out. I squealed and ran into Damian's arms.
"I did it!" I giggled. He smiled and kissed me.
"I know you could." He replied
…...
Hannah walked into the empty choir room. Well, it was almost empty. A single girl sat in their, drawing away on a notepad.
"Audrey?" Hannah asked. The girl looked up, her wide eyes in shock. She looked particularly sunny with a daisy in her hair and a 1950's summer dress on. Her face turned into a frown.
"What do you want, Barbie?" She asked.
"Um…to apologize." Hannah muttered. Audrey let out a snort.
"No, I'm serious." Hannah said.
"Um…no, listen, I know about…your condition and all, but that still doesn't change everything. I wont hate you as much, but I got some full throttle hatred. You've been kinda a jerk to me. You remind me of…someone, and that is someone of whom I'm trying to forget." She said snapping her notepad shut.
"But-" Hannah started.
"Hey Aud, got the car ready. Wanna go?" Clark spoke, walking into the choir room.
"Sure! Bye, Barbie." Audrey said in a cheerful manner Hannah had never seen. Audrey walked off with Clark, discussing something Hannah had no knowledge of. Hannah had just been dissed. Hannah smiled, Audrey just would have to hate her cause she was relatively happy and she planned to stay that way. It had been a great Halloween week.
