“You’ll need to wear that mask more often. First time we actually hung out without one of your groupies fawning over you every ten minutes.”
“What can I say the ladies love me!”
Right after he said that a girl next to him said, “Declan is that you! It’s me, Sharon, from biology class.” Right there is where I lost him to the big breasted blonde in a tight nurses outfit. I mouthed go ahead and went to go find a bathroom.
There was barely any room to walk around, it seemed like everyone from school was here. When I finally did find the bathrooms the line was long. I stood there listening to slutty maid tell slutty referee all about the haunted house below us. Since my friends were occupied I figured why not go and check it out. After thirty minutes of waiting to go to the bathroom, I went in and of course Chanel had to be in there.
“Oh look girls, someone finally tried taking out the trash.” She was dressed as a ladybug, but she should have went as a cockroach. At least that way she could have saved on a costume.
“I see you went as an insect, how fitting.” Chanel rolled her eyes and I headed straight for the stall. She didn’t say another word to me and I hoped tonight we could just ignore each other.
Luckily after I was done peeing there was no Chanel in sight. I headed out the bathroom and towards the basement doors for the haunted house. On my way, I ended up running into Ezra, Knox, and Rem. Ezra was dressed as Prince Charming, Knox as Thor, and Rem … well I have no idea what Rem was.
“Hey guys.” I greeted the guys and turned to Rem to ask, “What are you suppose to be?” He was dressed in a business suit and I can’t lie he looked hot.
“Clark Kent of course.” Rem pulled his white button down apart and I saw the Superman shirt hidden underneath. Clever.
“I like it.” I nodded my head and turned to see what Ezra and Knox were arguing about.
“What are you guys arguing about?”
“You see that blonde dressed as a Playboy Bunny in the group of meathead Trojans?” I took a sip of my beer to hide my smile and nodded yes to Ezra. “Well Knox here thinks I don’t stand a chance. He bet that he can get her to go with him by just dropping one of those cheesy pick up lines on her. I on the other hand told him he stood no chance what so ever.” Knox gave Ezra the wide eyes and kept looking back between Ezra and I. I wish Knox would realize I am honestly ok if he dates other girls. I think he honestly thinks I’ll change my mind about us being just friends, but I don’t have those kind of feelings for him.
“Lets see what you got. I bet a hundred dollars you can’t.” Knox looked shocked that I would want him too. I knew I had this in the bag and it would be amusing to see his reaction once he realizes who the blonde really is.
“I’ll throw a hundred down too.” Rem chirped in.
Knox looked uncomfortable, but he was never one to turn away from a bet. “Easiest two hundred dollars I’ll ever make.”
Knox sauntered over to where Stella was standing. He slipped his arm around her lower back and whispered something in her ear. When Stella turned her face to him and realized it was her brother, they both jumped back. Knox looked visibly sick and pissed. From where I was standing I could hear Stella screaming, “What the fuck!”
“What the fuck is right! What the fuck are you wearing! You’re suppose to be a princess not dress in that!” Knox motioned his arm up and down at her outfit. He then took his cape off and wrapped it around an infuriated Stella. Ezra was just staring at her with his mouth open.
“Let me guess, you knew this entire time that was Stella.” Rem said with a smile.
“Maybe.” I smiled back and finished my beer. I started to look to see if I spotted Jude, but it was hopeless with how many people were here.
“Looking for Jude?” Rem may be more on the quiet side, but I think it’s because he’s always observing and listening.
“Well no, but now that you brought him up, where is he?”
Rem took a minute to think about it and had a look of surprise on his face. “I haven’t seen him since he went downstairs to turn on all the props.” I didn’t like the sound of that. We both pulled our phones out, but there was no signal.
“Let’s go down there and take a look.” He nodded his head and lead the way.
When we got down to the haunted house we were greeted with girls screaming, strobe lights, fog, and some pretty terrifying props. To be honest I was impressed, I didn’t think the guys would pull off something this good.
“Wow you guys went all out!”
Rem shrugged and said, “Knox’s favorite holiday.”
“Figures between the candy and half naked girls.” We started making our way through the maze they had set up in the basement, seeing if Jude was down here.
“What’s going on with you two anyways? Not going to lie, it’s a little strange he likes you so much, but still sleeps with every girl that looks his way.” Rem wasn’t wrong there. When you truly fall for someone, nobody exists.
“I told him I just wanted to be friends, but I think he loves the idea of us being together because it’s easy. When the right girl comes around, he’ll forget about me.”
“Shit!” A clown popped out of the screen and had Rem screaming. “I mean, fuck, ok that makes sense. Want to split up, maybe we will find him faster.” For the silent and strong type Rem comes
