Halloween Dance!

[Declyn O'Callahan]

Upon arrival at the dance, Declyn did feel slightly self-conscious. The costume was rather revealing and, well it showed off more than he was used to. He was practically wearing a stripper costume (which would explain the easy removal of his clothing...buttons everywhere. One swift motion and his pants would be off). Cameron didn't have to know about that part though, not yet at least. If anything was to happen, he would not want it to be in front of all these people. Especially due to the fact that his brother was supposed to be there.

The thought had Declyn glancing around and just as he caught sight of a familiar build, he saw a blonde dressed ridiculously that looked even more familiar. Well that explained it. Shrugging it off, he turned to his date and smiled, following him to the punch bowl. Dec wasn't stupid, he had a feeling it was only a matter of time before the punch was spiked. And by Cam's reaction it hadn't taken long at all.

"Have trouble holdin' yer liquor?" He asked with a smirk. Cam wouldn't be the only one. Dec was a beer sorta guy, Irish blend was by far the best from what he'd tasted. Liquor was rather nasty, though he didn't mind whiskey much. "I think we should disperse from the punch bowl, they might lump us in with the ones who got to it first," He tugged on Cam's hand gently and made his way more towards the dance floor.

The boy was rather content with avoiding his brother for the moment. If anything just to keep him from having a mental breakdown. Wouldn't have surprised Dec if his twin had seen him already and was getting all huffy about it. Well that's what he got for coming with the jerk that was supposedly his 'best friend.'

[Cameron Osiris]

Dec didn’t need to worry about his costume. He looked good in it and hey, he should flaunt that.

“I just don’t like drinking diarrhea,” he said, setting down the cup and the putrid liquid in it. Cameron would not make a very good alcoholic. “Thought you’d never ask,” he said, only too happy to bed dragged around by Declyn. Cam looked over his shoulder and was really glad they hadn’t gotten into trouble for that. Seriously, it wasn’t like he had known it was spiked!

Cam’s eyes surveyed the room, spotting Mia and Tak and a few others who he waved to. If Odion were recognizable, he would’ve given him the finger, and probably kiss Declyn just to piss him off. Stopping on the dance floor, Cam gave Dec a little spin under his arm. “I’m the best dancer in this place,” he said with a smirk. Another tall tale from the infamous Mr. Osiris. But hey, he wasn’t that bad at dancing either.

Putting his hands on the front of Dec’s bare shoulders, Cam raised his brow. “Hot damn Dec, you workout every day or what?” And to think, he’d just passed out a couple weeks ago from trying to go for a run.

[Lani Hunter]

Lani was oh so tempted to bother the people at the bowl. When the telepath grabbed it Lani was tempted to grab it back, but then it wouldn’t be too hard to figure out who had done that. Not it was best to leave that be. He had enough detentions under his belt that he never planned on going to, he didn’t need any more. Lani would have called the punch lost at the point the staff found out about it. He sighed he should have gotten more of it before. He hadn’t anticipated that they would be that fast. Someone must have tipped them off. Lani elbowed Odion. “Watch this,” he said grinning. His power reached out and the table cloth started grabbing at people’s heels going after the staff mostly. Little yips of startled kids had Lani grinning. “It’s too easy.”

He wanted Odion to take his mind off of his brother and his rather good looking costume. He was interested to see what kind of person Declyn was. If he was anything like his brother Lani was going to have his hands full. Lani chuckled and shrugged. “I’m making perfect sense. Really Odion, it follows the dress code and it’s Halloween I’m sure he doesn’t wear stuff like that all the time,” Lani said making excuses for his brother, “Lighten up a bit, Odion.” Lani couldn’t help it. Odion got very upset about things that Lani didn’t really think about much, but then again if Caroline came in dressed anything remotely like anything that would make her seem like an adult he would probably have a heart attack and whisk her away as fast as the wind blew.

Lani sighed and gave Odion a warm smile, he’s not sure it came out warm or if it just looked sly due to his face paint. “Yeah, I guess.” He raised his fingers to his eyes and squeezed the bridge of his nose for a bit. “I miss her,” he admitted. It was so strange without those late night phone calls and the way they just could talk about everything and nothing. How strange was it that once that nothing became something they started to not get along? Why was it so much harder to talk about something than it was to talk about nothing? He blinked and shook his head as the realization of what he had said struck him. Would that hurt Odion? He shook his head again. “But no, it’s better this way.” He said as if he were arguing with himself. He didn’t love her. He couldn’t keep her tied to him because he liked having her around.

“Maybe because he wants to turn my head into a piñata?” Lani said with a little bit of a laugh then looked at Odion and realized that he had neglected to tell Odion the important news. “Um… Adrianna told him about… that night.” He said trying his very best to avoid saying the ‘k’ word. “And well, he wants to bash my brains in. Which normally wouldn’t bother me,” lie, “But I live with the guy and I have a feeling that that is bad for my health.” He explained giving Odion an apologetic look, but it was rather recent news and he just hadn’t had a chance to bring it up. He looked at Odion and the way he stood. He liked it. Lani slouched a lot, but Odion stood at his full height all the time and he always looked impressive but with that outfit of rebellion he looked downright regal. As if he should be commanding armies and not at a high school dance. Lani smiled and averted his eyes when he realized he was staring.

Odion came back and Lani made a guilty face. “Sorry,” he shook his head and pushed himself off of the wall. Alright he had the people he wanted to on his radar. Perhaps it would be safe to move. “No, of course not,” he said changing his tune almost immediately. He could simply survive the night or he could mess with people before his doomsday finally hit. The latter sounded more fun. “Well, let’s cause some mayhem,” he said that sly grin on his face. Lani glanced at the dance floor, he could probably survive that but if Odion expected anything more than swaying he would be sorely disappointed but he saw Declyn and the boy’s date head that way and he figured best to keep away from there. “I’ll look suspicious if he hide and play tricks,” he whispered to Odion purposefully avoiding thinking about anyone he needed to avoid and just occasionally sending out his power like a radar beam and getting a good map reading of where they were. He even added Declyn onto his list just in case considering Odion’s mood, keeping away not for Odion’s sake but for Declyn’s.

[Jez Steele]

Jez sighed heavily and decided that maybe she should actually do something other than people watch, while she did actually like that she decided that maybe she should do something. She headed out onto the dance floor to dance by herself as she hadn't really seen anyone else that she knew that looked like they'd be worth interrupting. As she walked onto the dance floor she slipped over someone's foot and stumbled, glaring she spun around to yell at them but stopped suddenly when she saw his face. It was, breath taking, still she had to be upset, he tripped her while she was barefoot and it hurt, "Excuse you, watch where your stepping."

He had blonde hair, green eyes and was absolutely adorable with his trickster smile. She thought about it for a moment and came up with the name Lani. That sounded about right, she had seen him around school.

[Odion Martins]

Odion watched the tablecloth come to life from the corner of his eye, and he managed a smirk. Capes and tablecloths, Lani had a bit of an obsession with fabrics tonight. “You’re a show off, did you know?” Teased Odion, making sure it didn’t sound like a compliment. It’d be far more entertaining to make the cloth look like a ghost or something and have it chase people around. Now that, would make Odion downright laugh.

Fortunately for Lani, Declyn and Odion had little in common. While Dec was a little odd sometimes, he far more willing to meet people and be nice to them than his brother was. Dec wanted as many friends as possible despite his quirky nature. Odion had a strong suspicion that Lani would really like Dec, and he wasn’t sure if he liked that at all. What if Lani liked him better? “I wouldn’t know,” Odi muttered as Dec dragged his date to the dance floor and they proceeded to feel each other up. Odion tore his eyes away and burned holes into the wall instead. If Cameron broke Declyn’s heart, there would be torture to endure. Declyn was a sweet guy, he didn’t deserve to be played with. “You don’t know anything about Cameron Osiris.” He stated. If Lani knew anything about the other blonde, then he would know why Odion was mad from the get go. How would he feel if Caroline started dating someone who had or was currently dating half of Hammel?

Odi’s heart clenched as Lani admitted to missing Adrianna. One, because he knew exactly how Lani felt right now, and how much pain he was enduring. Two, because Odion wished he and Lani weren’t just friends. But that was just selfish and he was trying really, really hard to think through these faults of his. “I understand how you feel,” he decided to say finally, just watching Lani and worrying over him. Odion listened to Lani’s self-talk and tilted his head to the side slightly, wishing he could understand what was going on in Lani’s head. But tonight, he wouldn’t pry. Tomorrow he would.

Lani’s laughter didn’t soothe Odion like it usually did. There was something Lani hadn’t told him, and now Odi needed to know. But he already knew, it just felt good to hear it from Lani himself. “She shouldn’t have told anyone,” he said, because that was all he could focus on. It was over and done with and Adrianna should’ve known better. What if Odion hadn’t cut all the ties? What if one of those goons came back and found out and Venn knowing and he got hurt? Adrianna was a stupid little girl. The redhead glanced at the dance floor to Venn. Odion might have to do some sneaking around at a later date. If he could keep a crime boss away from Lani, he could keep Venn away with the bat of an eye. Or a swing of a bat, Odi hadn’t decided yet. Odion had noticed the staring, but he thought it was because of his costume and nothing more. He had been staring quite a bit at Lani as well tonight, like right now for instance. “Why don’t you move out?” He asked. Lani was old enough to get his own place, so why deal with another man’s bullshit? Especially one who was dating his ex.

“What kind of mayhem?” Odion asked. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to, it just depended on whether he would get in trouble or not. Odi leaned in instinctively towards Lani as he whispered, and then Odi had an idea. “We should talk to people,” he made a gesture which started at his head and proceeded downwards, indicating his costume, “in character.” It was still staying in the shadows if no one knew who the two wackos were that were talking to everyone like they had just stepped out of a movie. “Could be amusing.” It was just another idea. Odion glanced to Lani, open to suggestions.

[Richard McAuliffe]

Richard shrugged at her words when she said that she didn't like to talk that much. "Nothing wrong with that. Assholes exist so if you constantly converse with everybody, you're bound to get to know some people you don't want to." he said smirking. He wondered whether she was perhaps just subconsciously really good at choosing whom she should socialize with and whom she shouldn't. He smiled when Tak said that she thought he was attractive. Words like these helped reassure him that it wasn't going to be a problem to make friends in this school. Not that he didn't think he wasn't going to make friends, but the morale boost was always appreciated. Besides, he did put quite a bit of work into maintaining his looks and it helped to know that he hadn't wasted time.

When she waved to some guy and did sort of a kissing face towards him. He turned his head slightly to catch a glimpse of the said person. He didn't recognize him, but did a sort of a greeting nod towards him. Looking back at Tak, quite a few questions went through his head. He wasn't jealous at all, but something told him that they were possibly a bit more than just friends. But it was none of his business so he didn't ask.

"None that I know of," he admitted when she mentioned that there were probably some girls interested in him. It was probably true though. He was not only attractive, strong and sociable, but also played on the football team! There had to be some girls out there who would consider him a good catch.

Soon enough, his date spotted some other people she knew. This time he recognized one of them, Elina. He didn't really know her , but they had met at a club not long ago. The guy, he had never met before. Did she say Kouj? Was that his name, he wondered. It was at that point which the music and the lights went off. "Friends of yours?" he asked as he felt Tak's arm wrap around his waist. Richard didn't wait for her to respond before putting his arm over her shoulder and starting to walk to where they had been standing as the lights went out. Of course they were her friends, what sort of a question had that been?

[Lani Hunter]

Lani smirked and tipped his head into a little bow, taking it as a compliment anyways. Fabrics were easy tonight. Anything else would be large and bulky and possibly get someone hurt. But then, Lani’s eyes tipped upward and he smiled, there were bats hanging from the ceiling. That could be entertaining. But he’d have to give it a few moments or it would start losing its charm. “I’m not done yet,” Lani said giving Odion a wink. He was going to enjoy this next one, he only needed the time to wait and be patient. It was like working a job, he was so patient and yet impatient. It was giving him that thrill of adrenaline.

Lani started to realize that Odion was being protective. Not just annoyed with his brother and his date but he was being protective of his brother. And then the words came out and Lani hummed a little. “Osiris? It sounds familiar,” he said but when his mind came up empty he shrugged. Odion was being protective of his brother. That made Lani’s lips twitch upward and his eyes warmed as he watched Odion try to stare down the wall. He patted Odion’s shoulder. “So, we’ll just have to keep an eye on him, eh?” Lani raised a brow. Being upset about something meant nothing if he didn’t do anything about. If Caroline started dating anyone Lani wouldn’t be hiding in the corner he would be there making sure that it was understood that a broken heart would mean a broken face. “Also did you talk to him about this guy?”

He tossed a grateful look at Odion and was really glad that the redhead had left it at that. He didn’t want to go into his emotions right now. They were too much like a typhoon right now and Lani was worried he would hit debris if he tried to calm it. Lani had that awful sensation that he was drowning in his own mind and the moment he made that connection he had to take a deep breath that came out like a sigh and shake the thought away. Lani bit his tongue and looked at the dance floor. Adrianna. He tore his eyes away and he really had to think for a moment. He missed her, but was he upset tonight because she was here with Venn or because she was here without Lani? He shook his head again, he wasn’t going to think that much about Adrianna tonight. No.

Lani shook his head a little. “She had every right,” he said the realization of that having not really hit until there was someone who was not himself, Adrianna, or Odion who knew about the situation. He really wasn’t sure how much Dr. Neville really knew. Lani frowned and snapped his fingers as he bumped his fists into each other. “She had every right to tell the police everything. I’m lucky she didn’t.” He nodded. Lucky as hell. Lani looked at Venn and a sudden dread formed in his stomach. He shouldn’t just be hiding, he should be fleeing. Venn had made no promises not to tell anyone and Lani had no idea how to make someone he hated be silenced besides putting his services in their hand. And he was not going to let Venn have that kind of power over him. Damn, this was getting out of hand. Perhaps he should go talk to Dr. Neville. He shook his head at that. He blinked at Odion, he had never really thought about it. Lani put his hands in his pockets and shrugged. “They probably wouldn’t let me. I’m too much of a flight risk,” he took his hands out and air quoted ‘flight risk’. “And I couldn’t leave Caroline.”

“All of the kinds of mayhem,” Lani grinned. He laughed; it would be very entertaining to be the Pumpkin King for the night. Jack always seemed to have the most fun. Lani acquired a skeleton grin and he stepped out toward the crowd and felt someone behind him fall. He whirled and caught her even thought she seemed to have caught herself. She looked terribly upset when she turned on him and he braced himself for a hit or something to that effect. Luckily for Lani she didn’t decide to scream at him. He was such a klutz, he blamed it on the fact that his power was already watching out for so many people that it didn’t register that he was close to someone. He smiled apologetically. “I’m so sorry, are you alright?” He asked his brow creasing in concern. She was familiar but Lani couldn’t place the name, but he felt like it started with a J. Jess? No. Jez? She looked beautiful. He realized he was still holding onto her elbow and released her before taking a step away from her and closer to Odion. He tossed a look at Odion and his smile turned impish, the devilish expression only made more extreme by his painted smile.

“My dear, you haven’t happened to see a redhead around have you?” He asked turning smoothly from Lani to Jack giving the girl a wink. The poor girl was the first experimental victim. He waved his arms in the air accenting the joints and overemphasizing all of the movements. “I’ve looked everywhere. Behind the coffins and above the bats but they are evading me.” He gestured over his head at the bats and with a smile caused them to take flight swooping over the dancers before Lani just dropped them onto people’s heads. He glanced over noting that one landed on Venn taking out Adrianna’s head from his head. Oops. Though, Lani couldn’t find it in himself to feel sorry.

[Noah Washington]

The halls were still carrying a lot of laugthter from other people, and students were rushing by to get to the dance quickly. But Noah was happy to walk at a regular pace with Mia on his arm. Time to talk with her was always worth it in his mind.

"I lost a bet with a friend of mine who wanted to pick my costume out. Something about it helping me find a girlfriend." Noah lauged at the idea that a costume would be able to help with something like that. The story was obiously meant for a laugh; at least on his end. "But all I got sent was a pair of tight gold shorts, if you can believe that. Sounds like most of the costume got left in the mail or something!"

As they made their way, they soon reached the line at the door. Costumes were being checked out. "This is why I didn't wear the shorts." He lauged, his teeth sinking down into his tongue playfully.

[Odion Martins]

Odion laughed lightly and shrugged. “I never said you were,” he said, his eyes sparkling a little bit. He was feeling that same rush Lani was and quickly looked at the ceiling. There was really nothing of interest there, other than the fake bats. They were as fake as everything and everyone else in this room. Hopefully Lani could bring a little bit of life into them, and Odion was willing to wait to find out what would happen next.

Odi snorted. “Yeah, it sounds familiar because he gets around.” Odion remembered the bloke trying to give him a tour of Hammel when he arrived here last year. Cameron boasted of knowing everything about Hammel and Odion had stalked off without anything to say. When Cameron insisted, Odi told him to shove off and low and behold, he didn’t need Cameron to show him anything. Odion looked from the shoulder Lani touched to the boy himself. His eyes then went back to the couple of the dance floor, his nose a little too high in the air. “I am already.” So far all Cameron had done, was fuck around with a couple boys and girls, but Odi was concerned with that. He was concerned that Dec would fall for Cameron. Odion sighed and looked back to Lani. “Of course I did,” Odi paused, looking between Lani’s eyes, “he actually came to me for dating advice.” He probably wasn’t the best person to ask, but he was touched Declyn came to him at all, especially with something so personal.

And now Odi really was in Lani’s shoes. This moment, in which Lani started defending Adrianna, nearly knocked Odion to the ground in shock with its similarities to what he had gone through with Rhett. Lani was defending her despite how she was in the wrong. “So she told your roommate instead?” He asked, his brow raised. Lani still cared for Adrianna, but wasn’t he at least a bit upset over the fact that she had betrayed him? And what about how she was at the dance right now with someone else after they had just broken up? Well, if Lani wasn’t mad, then Odion would be for him, because Lani was probably still feeling guilty over her being kidnapped in the first place, as he should. But Odi wasn’t about to let Lani trade his crime boss for the likes of Venn.

Odion had to smirk. “Flight risk?” He laughed – this school was ridiculous. But at the mention of Caroline Odi nearly kicked himself. How could he have forgotten her? “Couldn’t you take her with you?” He suggested, feeling like a fool. He was still getting used to such a big part of Lani’s life being at Hammel. “You’re right,” he admitted instead, glancing back to Venn, “you’ll just have to deal with him a different way.” And there were many ways that could be accomplished. Maybe running wasn’t the best solution, it was just Odi’s first one.

“Not all kinds,” Odion insisted, “at least not spiking the punch.” He smirked then, because he had no intentions for sharing or getting into trouble tonight. Odi held in his laughter as Lani unintentionally tripped someone. He didn’t know the girl, but he felt a twitch of annoyance as Lani held her for a few more moments than necessary. Actually, he didn’t need to hold her at all, he had tripped her, not pounced on her. “He’s not used to being this tall,” Odion jested in his British accent, looking at Jez with a smile before smirking up at Lani, who fell into character a little too perfectly. Odi stood regal and tall while Jack jumped around, bringing up his cape just below his eyes to hide what little his mask showed. Why Jack Skeleton and V would hang out at a dance, he wasn’t sure, but the night was filled with endless, unlimited possibilities. The bats swirled around and although Odi was a tad impressed, he wouldn’t admit that he was. But he was glad his cape was covering his mouth, it was impossible not to smile at the expense of the people on the dance floor.

[Mia Bell]

Mia smiled as people passed and didn’t actually stare at her, she guessed it was because the hat was covering her hair that or people were actually starting to get used to it. She hoped it was the later. Mia liked taking their time; it meant more personal time with Noah and talking to him was always fun.

Mia looked up at him for a second. “I don’t think you need a costume to get a girlfriend…” Was he looking for a girlfriend? Was he not interested in anyone he knew now? Mia really didn’t like that last thought, but it was life. The girl stopped in her tracks when he started talking about the costume and looked at him up and down trying to picture him in tight gold shorts. She bit her bottom lip trying not to grin, “We would match!” Considering she was wearing a tight, short, gold skirt. “I wouldn’t mind seeing you in the costume.” She mumbled as she started walking again. “It doesn’t sound like you would be attracting the right kind of people in that though… I mean if you’re really looking for a girlfriend..”

Mia chuckled “Yeah, it doesn't sound like the shorts are within the school’s dress code in general” She stuck her tongue out at him; she doubted the school would even let him out of his dorm wearing just skimpy gold shorts.

[Venn Hensley]

"If I had time to take dance lessons, I'd tell you, babe." He smiled and pulled her closer, and looked down towards his feet, he felt kind of bad because of the whole Lani thing. She still found the time to control Venn's temper, and it was the thing that made him upset. But he had to praise Adrianna for her patience. "Wanna sit down? I don't feel like dancing right now." He gave her a fake smile, whilst the guilt finally rushed through his head.

Hopefully she wouldn't be able to tell if there was something wrong with him, but she probably would anyway. Hopefully she wouldn't notice too sudden. After all, she's been through much stress lately, and he didn't want her to be through more stress throughout the day. The brute wanted her to have a good night with her friends, she didn't have to spend most of her time with him.

He practically pulled her towards the nearby seats, but he made sure he was gentle about the whole thing. He left his helmet by accident, but he was too stressed when the guilt rushed over him.

[Adrianna Carstyn]

Adrian didn't see what she'd done as betraying Lani. If she'd wanted to do that, she'd have gone straight to someone who would actually do something about it. Venn was her best friend, someone she told everything to. It didn't matter what secret she was keeping, she always told him because then he could keep her mouth shut and she could keep his shut. They were so similar that they fit together like puzzle pieces, always helping each other.

If Lani had been honest with her in the first place, things would different. If Odion was going to compare her to Rhett, well, then he obviously didn't know anything about her. Yes, she'd come to a dance with her best friend, wasn't that what Lani was doing? It wasn't as if she was dating Venn. She liked him yes, but she hadn't pursued her feelings. Just as Lani hadn't pursued his for Odion. What was so different about their situations? Adrian saw nothing.

But Adri was in the dark when it came to all of the things that Odion and/or Lani thought of her now. Her mind had drifted due to the guilt she felt. It had given her plenty of possibilities to think of. Things ranging from Lani being completely over her and ready to find someone else to Lani hating her for letting things get so bad. All possibilities had pointed to her being at fault. She was just as everyone said, weak, dependent, boring and predictable. Why would anyone want something like that?

If Venn was worried about her night being ruined, well it hadn't exactly started out that great as it was. She followed behind him as one of the fake bats swung down close to both of their heads and knocked off her hat. Her eyes shot straight to the skeleton and she frowned. Unless there was someone else messing with the wind, he was the number one suspect, but she didn't have it in her to get irritated with him, there was no use in jumping to conclusions.

Her fingers laced through Venn's as she looked up at him and saw the expression on his face. The fake smile was a tip off, and the distant expression now sent a red warning flag off. Adrianna sat down with him and turned to face him, "Venny, what's wrong? Did I...did I do something wrong?" She asked automatically assuming it was all her fault. After all, everything else was, how was this any different?

[Noah Washington]

"We would have matched. Maybe it was fate!" Noah laughed. But at least Tak let him off the hook for the school dance; she seemed to know already that they weren't going to let in a half naked guy at the door. Though, she did have some interesting plans about him wearing them underneath his current costume and then just stripping off in the bathroom. Talk about determined. "I think I'd end up finding people who were just looking for a pretty face." He explained, smiling as wide as he possibly could. Pretty face, indeed!

Standing in line, there were definitely some interesting costumes. Some people were looking for scary-based costumes and some people weren't. It was an interesting mix but it was really just going to be a lot of fun. "Are you excited? What do you want to do when we first get in there?" He asked, taking a step in line.

[Venn Hensley]

"No, don't worry. It's not you .. It's nothing, trust me." Hopefully she'd just let this one pass. He didn't want to seem too vague, she'd probably use her brains to try to figure his game out. He looked away, and twiddled with his thumbs; and looked at the Halloween decorations. The decorations they had almost every year. He tried to avoid eye contact from her, he just wanted to leave, he didn't want to stay there with Lani and Odion. He didn't want to lose his temper, not yet, at least.

But her concern was sort of calming him down, it was nice for him to know that she still cared after everything. He couldn't lie .. dancing with her was sort of teasing for him, that's one of the reasons why he had to stop. He didn't want to just let his urges take over him, that would've made her look bad. He wouldn't want there to be problems with him, her, or Lani. Odion, too.

Adrianna didn't deserve all of this to happen in one night, he wanted to go so badly, but he wanted her to have fun, she looked forward to this night, and he couldn't ruin it for her. He just couldn't.

[Mia Bell]

“Fate? Fate for what? Fate for you to wear skimpy shorts?” She was teasing of course and smiled at him to show it. At least she was wearing something under the skirt. She kind of had to with the cuts/scars. Poor Mia she just couldn’t be sexy. Not that she cared, it wasn’t how she wanted to get attention. Mia grinned, “You do have a pretty face.” She lightly pinched his cheek “it’s kind of irresistible.” He could see her statements anyway he wanted to. She didn’t want to make him uncomfortable, especially considering she didn’t know if this was them going as dates or just friends. It was a bit confusing since they knew each other.

Mia looked at all the costumes people were wearing as they stood in line. It was easy to tell what kind of person someone was by his or her costume; at least for most people. “I am excited, are you?” She really wasn’t sure how to answer his question and wondered if it was a trick question. “What do you want to do when we first get in there?” Yep, she answered a question with a question.
