Chapter 4, Halloween
"Are you sure about this?" Scott asked. He watched as Victoria opened a bottle of Vodka.
"Absolutely. At high school parties someone always spikes the punch. It's mandatory. It's a tradition!" She grinned devilishly. "This should be fun!"
He laughed out loud and watched her pour the first bottle in the punch bowl. Grabbing the long serving spoon he started stirring. "It smells good."
"It's a huge bowl. Good thing we got two bottles!" She emptied the second one and quickly hid the evidence under the table. Grabbed two cups, "now we gotta sample the goods."
"You got it."
Carefully drinking from the new cocktail they smiled at each other. She swallowed, and felt the alcohol burning in the back of her throat. "Ow it's s-strong."
She looked Scott up-and-down. His Peter Pan Halloween outfit was a bit too small, stretching around his shoulders. The pants were a bit short as well and that looked hilarious. At least he'd made the effort to find matching leather shoes.
Sipping from her drink she looked around the school's gym. This early in the evening it was nearly deserted, except for two teachers working on the light and sound equipment.
The gym was lavishly decorated with large cardboard pumpkins, skeletons, bats and witches. The basketball board on the far side had been removed, making space for a music stage. A simple drumkit sat on the stage surrounded by more pumpkins.
"Mmm." She opened, "hopefully we'll get some decent music today. The school's band is gonna perform. Which is not necessarily a good thing."
"They were decent last month," Scott nodded, "but too many Metallica songs for my taste."
"Every Metallica song is too much! They should stick with some poppy stuff, like Gaga and Taylor Swift. You know, consider their audience!"
Scott hummed something. Vicky returned to studying the gymn. By now the first students were starting to trickle in and one of the teachers had started the music.
"How do I look?" She asked. It was almost an insult that she had to ask for it but he had not mentioned her outfit at all! While she made so much effort.
Men!
She straightened her dress and touched her wig. The silky 'Elvira' dress fit her perfectly, highlighting her curves and slim waist. Her large, firm breasts were nearly falling out, and the black dress was making an amazing contrast with her smooth light skin. She'd gone all the way, donning a black 'Elvira' wig and appropriate make up. She'd created a hot Halloween image and was damn proud of it!
"Yeah, looks good." Scott mumbled and she glared at him. If he couldn't even show some enthusiasm for her looks, then why keep him around?
"Well thanks for your support!" She hissed, clearly annoyed. With a swift move she emptied her cup and filled the next one, immediately downing half the contents. "You only live once," she stated, more to herself than to Scott.
Triss and Yennefer waited till Scott and Vicky had wandered off, then approached the large punch bowl. The redhead grabbed her bag and produced a bottle of whiskey which she quickly emptied in the punch. The dark-haired girl snickered and opened a bottle of rum.
"Hey! I thought we agreed on whiskey?"
"I thought you said rum?"
"Whatever! I'm sure it'll make a good mix. Hurry and pour it in."
With evil smiles they stirred the wild concoction.
Half an hour later the gym was packed with excited students. Some kids were dancing to the loud music, some were crowding around the fruit punch. Rumour was the punch had been spiked and judging by a bunch of red cheeks some already had plenty. One boy was rolling on the floor. Hidden in a dark corner a couple was making out.
Jade smiled as she entered the gym arm-in-arm with Camille. They'd been friends since forever, and there was not a single person she trusted more.
Camille looked smashing in a glamorous, high-necked white blouse with lacy accents at the front and cuffs. A sexy glossy purple skirt. Combined with her purple heels she looked like she just stepped out of an 80's Prince music video. She was not tall, about 5 foot 3, and often used heels to gain a few inches. Gorgeous curly brown hair. Delicate facial features. Striking ice blue eyes.
Jade lovingly squeezed Camille's arm, then looked around the gym. The atmosphere felt alive and vibrant, and it was great fun to see everyone dressed up! As she scanned the crowd she noticed a scarecrow, a lion, an inmate, a sexy nurse.
She blinked.
A colonist, an indian, a teletubby, an exotic dancer. There was Sofia, in a bird outfit. And Yennefer in what appeared to be an... evil witch outfit? It had some lovely frilly black details and Jade took her time admiring the costume.
Nice!
The cheerleader squad seemed to be gathered around the fruit punch. There was Jeremy in a pirate outfit. Madison in a velvety blue gown, was she going for an Elsa-look? Manuela was Shrek and it looked hilarious. Triss was exploiting her gorgeous red hair, flaunting a royal emerald green dress. Scott in a... hobo outfit?
Autumn and Vicky were having an animated conversation, providing Jade with a good opportunity to check 'm out. Autumn looked nice in some type of Leopard bodysuit, but she paled in comparison to Vicky. The school's queen dressed the part and Jade instantly knew who was going to win 'best costume'.
Vicky looked stunning in a seductive, sexy Elvira dress. With a high slit on both sides her luscious legs were on prominent display, and just like the 'real' Elvira dress it was wide open in the front, abundantly showing her firm, magnificent breasts. Jade stared hard at the excessive cleavage. They would surely pop out if she moved!
Those tits!
Vicky's dress was extremely shameless and extremely sexy. Jade realized she was staring and had to make an effort to turn her head.
Damn!
She knew the cheerleader's hot body was turning her on and for a second she imagined the two of them. Naked. On a bed. Doing all kinds of naughty things.
Fuck!
She couldn't help herself. Took another look at Vicky in that scandalous dresss. "Hmm!"
In her fantasy she ripped open that dress and cupped Victoria's breasts, feasting her eyes on the school's best boobs. "Oh!" Rubbing the large pink nipples she heard Vicky whimpering with excitement, especially when -
"Jade! Earth to Jade!" Camille was poking her arm. "Whatcha doing?"
"Oh! Ehm... just c-checking the costumes."
Camille had seen that look before. Her voice was filled with suspicion. "Really... " She wrapped an arm around Jade's waist and pulled her intimately close. Whispered in her ear, "you're such a bad liar... anything you wanna tell me?"
Jade smiled devilishly. Camille knew her from top-to-toe. "Well... about Vicky... oh look! There's Travis!"
Theatrically throwing her hands up Camille laughed, "saved by the bell! But you are gonna tell me about Vicky!" She playfully slapped Jade's butt and ran off to chat with her friends of the volleyballteam.
Travis placed a quick kiss on Jade's cheek and inspected her outfit.
She was wearing a sensual minidress in forest green with small wings on her back. The dress was remarkably short, and he took his time checking her gorgeously long slender legs covered by an elegant silver pantyhose. Her legs seemed to reach all the way to heaven and he hummed with enthusiasm.
Her make-up was seductively emphasizing her large dark eyes and she'd created a few playful freckles around her nose.
"Damn Jade! You are the sexiest Tinkerbell I have ever seen!"
He couldn't help himself. He had to feel those legs! He touched her thigh, admiring the silken stockings. She smiled and allowed it, leaning forwards so he could easily wrap an arm around her waist and kiss her.
"Hihi." With a mischievous grin she placed her hand on his dick and carefully squeezed.
"Oh!"
"Now now... don't get excited... we're in public." She sensed his erection growing. Gave it another squeeze and then quickly removed her hand.
Giggling with happiness she checked his costume. It was kind of a Captain America suit. But the colors were wrong.
"My dad washed it." He stammered as he noticed look, "but the colors faded."
She laughed out loud. "Well my dear captain, I'm glad to see you." The flimsy costume was not hiding his erection. "You're glad to see me as well. Now put that away!"
Vicky and her court had wandered of so there was finally some space around the fruit bowl. "Let's get a drink."
"Geez!" Travis sucked in his breath after the first taste, "it's strong!"
"Hihi," Jade giggled as she smelled his drink, "very strong. This should really spice up the evening..."
"Mm!" Travis quickly finished his first cup and grabbed a second. "I like it!"
"Enjoy. I'm driving, so I won't have any. And just remember, Captain America can handle some liquor!" She kissed his cheek. "I gotta prep for the show. Later!"
Ten O'clock rolled around and it was time for the band to perform. Mr. Lewis, the art teacher gave an introduction while she plucked on her bass. She looked at her bandmates. Camille on keyboard and backing vocals. Matteo on drums, Jack on guitar. They'd been playing together for about 6 months and were pretty decent.
"Pinecrest high, to celebrate Halloween, I give you... your shool band... Wonderwall!"
Jade grabbed the mic and bit her lip. The first few minutes of a show she was usually unable to shed her nerves. She was quite a confident young woman but standing on a podium in front of a crowd, expected to deliver a good performance had to be unnerving to anyone.
The other guys felt the same way so they had agreed to start with something not too challenging, just so they could settle into the performance. And an obvious crowd pleaser. Blank space - Taylor Swift.
"Hello Pinecrest!"
Matteo on the drum started the intro and she counted...
1, 2,3,4 -
"Nice to to meet you, where you been? I could show you incredible things... Magic, madness, heaven, sin..."
Of course the crowd knew the lyrics and were singing together with her, and that interaction was immediately lifting her spirit. Her voice was gaining in power - she quickly found her connection with the music, swaying with pleasure as she sang.
"Cause we're young, and we're reckless - we'll take this way too far..."
The song was flowing smoothly and easily and she danced on the stage with proud confidence. There was Travis. With a big grin she spouted out the lyrics while taking a few steps towards him.
"Cherry lips, crystal skies, I could show you incredible things. Stolen kisses, pretty lies. You're the King, baby, I'm your Queen."
The crowd of kids had been lost from the very first note and were screaming like idiots, waving their hands in the air. Jade was beaming.
"Thank you Pinecrest... now for our next song... we're gonna stick with Taylor..." she listened to Jack's intro on the guitar, "how about 'Style'?"
They cheered. She smiled.
"Midnight - you come and pick me up, no headlights..."
The crowd loved it and Jade smiled. She glanced at Camille, Matteo, then Jack. They had barely started the second song and the evening was already a huge succes!
Awesome!
"You got that long hair, slicked back, white T-shirt and I got that good girl faith and a tight little skirt... "
After Taylor they ventured into a very difficult song - Unforgiven - Metallica. The radical change of pace had a good part of the crowd confused but Jade would rarely do a show without at least one Metallica song. There were a few boos but she didn't care.
After that they played a Coldplay song, then a Beyonce song. The loud, pumping bass was trying to lift the roof of the gym and the temparature inside had risen to extreme levels. The band was thoroughly enjoying the moment, feeding of the wild crowd.
They closed the show with an absolute banger. Gigi D'agostino - L'amour toujours.
Jade took a step back - the main focus of the song was Camille. And she delivered. Her keyboard exploded with the catchy electronic tune and her high-pitched voice was perfect for the main part of the lyrics.
"I still believe in your eyes - I just don't care what..."
She smiled into the audience with her brilliant, ice blue eyes and they believed every word coming out of her mouth. The bright, colored spotlights loved her as she bounced to the beat. Her cute curly hair was swaying seductively, her sexy skirt whirling from left-to-right. She was pure magic.
"Every day and every night, I always dream that you are by my side..."
Jade watched her do her thing. Camille was killing it! She smiled a secret smile as she admired her friend. Damn... she is amazing!
This song was designed to get the crowd jumping, and jump they did. The floor of the gym was shaking violently. Pumpkins were rolling everywhere.
Near the end Jade wrapped an arm around Camille's waist and they sang the final lines in perfect harmony.
"...and I'll fly with you... fly with you..."
Vicky wandered the halls in search of Scott. After that wild performance a good amount of rowdy students had spread out over the school and now Scott was missing as well.
Where is he? Should be with me dammit!
She looked in the science lab. Autumn was waving a fire extinguisher around, covering herself and a few kids in white foam. They were all screaming with excitement. One boy grabbed another extinguisher and ran towards the gym.
"What the fuck!"
The library appeared to be empty. Hearing a suspicious sound she looked behind a large bookcase and found Sofia and another girl, both of them in a wicked state of undress. They were passionately kissing while groping each other's breasts. The needy, sexual moans and groans send a shiver down Vicky's spine. She ran out and quickly closed the door.
"What the actual f-fuck!"
In the english classroom she found Jeremy and Manuela. They were both extremely pale and before she could even ask a question, Jeremy started puking all over his Halloween outfit. She had never closed a door that quick.
"Damn!"
Vicky rolled her eyes. "This is c-crazy!" The party was completely out of hand and she felt somewhat responsible. Who spiked the punch again? Soon someone was gonna call the police! The cops would realize most of the school was drunk. Drunk kids! And they would notice the punch. And her fingerprints were on the bottles! She might go to jail for this!
Half in panic she ran through the hallways and finally found Scott. "The party's out of hand! We need to get the t-teachers. Before someone calls the police!"
He stared at her blankly. Then nodded. "I saw mrs. Hamilton earlier. Follow me."
"Good." Their very strict spanish teacher would quickly restore order to this mess.
"Let's go!"
In the spanish classroom they found mrs. Hamilton. She was sitting on her desk, eagerly kissing their art teacher, mr. Lewis. The sociology teacher, mr. Cortez, was standing on her right, swiftly undoing the buttons of her blouse before ripping it of her body. Mrs Hamilton's cheecks were red, her hair sticking to her forehead. She was hissing with excitement as mr. Cortez unhooked her bra.
"Wow... they are... they..." Scott's eyes were wide as saucers.
"Let's go!" Vicky pushed him towards the door, then quickly closed it. "We're leaving! Before the s-school explodes!"
"But I wanna get another drink!"
Vicky snickered. Then she laughed out loud. What an evening! Suddenly her clouded mind didn't see the problem anymore.
Another drink?
"What a w-wonderful idea!"
She grabbed Scott's arm and they fearlessly marched to the punch. "I might e-even have two!"
Jade had avoided the alcohol because she was sure she was the one driving Travis home. He was dancing with Camille and Triss and his movements were... questionable. Hopefully he wasn't gonna fall over. The girls looked heavily intoxicated as well, their eyes barely open and their 'dancing' slow and sluggish.
"That's it! You three... in my Honda. I'm driving you home."
"But Jade..." Camille whined, "I w-wanna get another drink..."
"No way. We're leaving. And no puking in my car!"
