Chapter Nineteen; Costume ✓

Ria's POV

"Oh I know! How about as gummy bears!" I jump up happily as we went down the hallway to gym class.

"That's cute," Julian ruffles my hair.

"There's no way I wear something like that. I can't get girls that way," Randy complains.

"It's just you who's going to have fun," Brian grumbles.

I pout then smile again at another idea but didn't get to explain it as we went into the separate locker room. I hurriedly changed, Abby and her Bratzillas blocked my way to make some stupid insult but I shoved them out of my way and ran into the gym. Discussing the costume is more important.

"How about wizard of oz?" I smile once they sat next to me in the bleachers.

"Why that?" Cole looks at me and waits.

"Well, I was going to make Julian the scarecrow cause he has no brain." I smile innocently and he took it as a joke.

"True, he sucks at every other subject aside from gym and computer," Brian chuckles.

"Oh and you could be the tinman who needed a heart," I say with a straight face as he gave me a scowl. The boys laugh at this and I continued.

"I was going to make you the munchkin cause well, the thing you say that 'chicks dig' is about the size of a munchkin," I smile innocently as the boys laughed harder-except Randy then I heard a bunch of "Oohs" around us. "Then I just settled on the Lion because you stare at your reflection too much and you're a scaredy cat," I giggle.

He glares at me and I move on to Cole. "And you shall be the wizard of oz! To grant the wishes," I smile cheekily.

"And you'll be?" Cole raises a brow at me as he paused from laughing.

"I shall be a yellow brick! To lead you to the wizard," I did a curtsey.

"You really are unpredictable," he laughs.

"I'll take that as a compliment!" I smile.

"But seriously speaking, Ria. Me and the boys already picked our outfits. I'll be a soldier, Julian would be a lifeguard, Cole would be a boring ordinary citizen-" I booed "-and Brian would be-"

"A unicorn!" I smile, cutting Randy off.

"No, he's going to be a cowboy."

"Then I'm going to be a unicorn," I pout.

Our conversation was cut short when Coach blew his whistle.

-•-*-•-

I was going to settle with a simple onesie but that would be a bit lazy so I got creative! I took my unicorn-horn headband, a blue plain top and a pink lace skirt then finished with lavender flats.

I didn't like pink that much, but I loved unicorns and for that I was willing to make an exception.

I laid out my outfit and took a shower then put it on, tucking the blue shirt into the skirt and fixing it so it doesn't look bad.

I brushed my hair and put it up to a simple bun with little loose strands and tucked it behind my ear then the final touch for the magic transformation! I placed my magical horn on and did a twirl, feeling "giddy-up" and excited.

I slipped my flats on and swung my beige shoulder bag on then shoved my phone in. Before leaving the room, I wore a cardigan in case it got cold. 

I waited for the boys downstairs since they decided to dress up over here and were currently crowded in my brother's room.

I heard a loud thud before the door opened. I won't even question it. They jogged downstairs and stopped short when they saw me.

"What? I told you I'd be a unicorn." I giggled.

"You nailed it!" Julian gushed as he gave me thumbs up.

"Thank you! Now, I get shotgun!" I ran out before they could and gawked at the Yellow Ferrarri.

I caressed the handle before opening the door and sitting inside. What? It might be the last time I'll get to ride in this kind of car.

-•-*-•-

When we got to the venue it was already in full swing. There was even a guy on the roof. This was the same girl who pulled the party last time, so maybe this is a clubhouse or she would've been killed by her parents from all the mess.

Cole parks the car and we stepped out, heading into the party. As soon as we got in, Randy wrapped his arm around the girl who welcomed him in.

"Hey Randy, Mr. Sergeant." She laughs and nods at the guys then her eyes landed at me. "And who might this be?" She smiles at me.

"My sister but let's forget that, where's my gift?" Randy smirks and leans closer to her.

"You'll get it when you stop being such a player" she rolls her eyes with a smile playing on her lips.

"Finally! Someone who isn't me who can put up with this idiot!" I hug her and she laughs as she hugged back. "I found my people" I gushed and pretend to cry of joy.

We had small talk for a few minutes until Randy pulled her away from us and we were left to go to the kitchen for some drinks. Here's a thing about me, I am forgetful whenever I'm too happy and so this is how I got drunk for the first time.

Forgetting that fruit punches could be spiked, I took a drink. Julian and Brian went with their teammates, leaving me with a sober Cole. I took another drink of punch and another and another.

I suddenly hear a familiar slow song that the DJ put on. I smiled at Cole not really caring if he dances or not.

{Song; All I want}

I pulled him to the dancefloor though he hesitated at first. He wraps his arms around my waist as I did around his neck, swaying to the song. I sighed and just enjoyed the calmness, despite my mind full of silly ideas. I looked Cole in the eyes and giggled.

"What?" He asks.

"Nothing," I replied with a slur.

"You're drunk, aren't you?" He speculates

"I don't know. Am I?" I grin and he just chuckles, shaking his head.

"You're really something," he finally speaks after a few silent seconds.

"What does that mean?"

"I haven't hung out with other girls but you seem really fun and snarky, you make everyone seem basic to me," he smiles.

"Thank you. I try," I smile back. Geez my cheeks hurt from all the smiling. "You're not bad yourself," I comment.

"Huh?"

"I expected every other guy to be like my brother, a player and like the guys I was with in my other school. Mean," I say honestly, surprised at my still sober-ish way of thinking.

His smile widen as he placed his forehead on mine and I closed my eyes at the contact. I slowly open my eyes to see him looking into mine. He slowly leans in closer to me.

That's when it hit me. Nausea and a sudden want to vomit.

"I'm sorry but where's the bathroom?" I suddenly ask, making Cole back up and blush.

Despite ruining the moment, Cole showed me the way. I quickly ran in and did my business the took a swig of fruit punch. I opened the door and swung my arms at the first person out there.

"I'll grant your wishes." I cheer and the person holds me by the waist. I look at him and don't really recognize him.

"Really? Any wish?" He smiles.

"Well I'm not a genie but I think unicorns are supposed to be magical," I giggle then drank the last of my drink before dropping the empty cup on the floor.

"Oh, I know it'll be magical. Let's go grant my greatest desires-" his smile turned into a smirk as his grip on my waist got tighter and more painful. "-with your sexy body, of course," he opens the door to bathroom and shoves me in, covering my mouth so I couldn't scream.

I got scared and started to cry, kicking and pushing him with no avail. He trails his hand up my skirt and I try to push it away.

Before his lips attached themselves onto my neck the door burst open with a very furious Cole pulling the guy back and punching him.

He pulls me out of there and brushed the hair out of my face as he searched for any injuries.

"You shouldn't talk to people you don't know. What if I didn't make it here in time? What if-" he stops short as my lips started to tremble and tears pricked at my eyes and I start to cry.

"I-I'm sorry," I sob. He sigh and hugs me, kissing the top of my head.

"No, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have left you, if I didn't then it wouldn't happen. I'm sorry," he hushed.

Let's just say we left the party after that and that Julian and Brian were knocked out in the back and that Randy was pissed off and wanted to hunt the guy down too.

We didn't talk about it for the night and they reserved it for the next day if I remembered anything.

It was a silent ride back and I fell asleep in the car, waking up with a severe headache.

Kill me now.
