Drabble #50: Bumblebee

Patricia

October 29, read the calendar. Just two days until Halloween. I sighed. Surprisingly, I didn't mind Halloween that much. It was all dark and spooky, so what's not to love?

In the past, everyone picks out a costume for the Halloween party, and all of us go as a group. The nine of us sat in a circle, Eddie next to me. He played with my fingers as we waited. There was a bottle in the middle of us, and I was confused. "What is this, spin the bottle? Last time I checked we weren't eleven." I scoffed. Jerome smirked.

"Well Trixie, in a way it is. Someone will spin the bottle, and they get to pick the costume of the person it lands on." Grins are spread around the room. "Alright! First... Willow!" I prayed to god that it didn't land on me, and thank gosh, it didn't. Joy looked at Willow in fear as the bottle stopped on her.

"Let's see... A hedgehog!" Alfie bust out laughing, as did everybody, and Joy frowned.

The game continued with Eddie being a vampire, Alfie a dog (again), Willow a unicorn, Mara a fairy, Fabian as Superman, and KT a cheerleader. All that was left Jerome and I, and unfortunately, Jerome got my choice. "Let's see Trixie... Oh! I know! A bumblebee!" I groaned as he said that, receiving sympathetic smiles from the girls, and a laugh from Eddie and Alfie. Jerome ended up being a princess, because revenge is sweet.

According to Jerome, there were certain requirements to my costume. I had to had both black and yellow, or as an alternative; gold. Something on my head, a dress of some sort, and shoes that were all matching the color code.

When Halloween came, we ended up finding the perfect costume. I slipped into a black, silk high-low dress, which was belted at the waist. The trim was a light gold color, not too obvious. My hair was pinned back into a tight bun, and upon my head was a coal colored crown, with flecks of gold in it. My shoes were a pair of ankle boots with heels,black of course. My makeup was dark, darker than usual: all black eyeshadow, golden shimmering eyeliner, and a deep purple lip.

I smiled at the girls as they finished with me. Their costumes looked good, even Willow's. They all walked down first, me behind them, and when I carefully strutted down the stairs, the boy's jaws dropped. Apparently they were expecting me to look ridiculous. "What?" I asked innocently, turning to Jerome. "I'm matching the dress code. He nods, still unable to speak, and I turn to Eddie. "Come on, we've got a party to attend. I loop our arms together, and I feel the girls smiling behind me as we walk off.

"Wow Yacker, you look- whoa." I chuckle at his reaction.

"You look like someone painted you with glue." I laugh, at his pasty white skin. He chuckles.

"Not my fault." We walk in a comfortable silence, as he intertwined out fingers. "The vampire and the bumblebee; sounds like a good couple, doesn't it Yacker?"

"The best." I nod, laughing. He kisses my nose, then makes his way down to my lips.

"You're mine forever, my little bumblebee."

Hey! I don't know what to say... Hmm... Oh! I come off hiatus Monday September 2nd! Woo! I've been writing, and preparing for school... Yuck. I start the 3rd. I know this is way off, considering Halloween is in October, and we're in August, but close enough. Also! 50th Drabble! Woo! I would love to make it too a hundred, but it'll take a while... Love you! xx
