EACKER POV

I heard shouting and screaming as I walked into the beige horror house of middle schoolers freaking out over Halloween. I tried to navigate my way through the hallway to my locker as quickly as possible, it didn't work.

As I was passing I herd snippets of conversation, some girls were talking about how lame Halloween was and others were talking about how they were gonna wear something revealing to try to grab boy's attention. Man, straight people are desperate. I myself am pansexual, I'm mostly attracted to boys though. As I finally reached my locker I noticed Phillip was already there, packing up his stuff.

"Hey Babe!" He said while throwing me into a huge hug. God he was so cute. He was really short, his head reached the tip of my neck. His hair only slightly ran over my face while I hugged him back.

"Hey Phillip." I said, I let go of the hug. I  started unpacking and packing my stuff.

"Soooo. What are you doing for Halloween?"
Phillip asked with a bright smile on his face.

"I don't know yet, probably just handing out candy. What about you?" His smile seemed to get more bright as I asked him.

"Well I got invited to a Halloween Party!" He said bright and ignorantly.

"A Halloween Party? From who?"

"Charles Lee's Son, Everyone is going! We have to go!" Charles. Lee. Son. The school douche bag. One of the more popular kids. He's so cool that he told everyone to call him Lee, I'm pretty sure the only reason he did that was because his name was embarrassing. Wait, party. FOCUS EACKER!

"Lee? You want to go to that jerk's Halloween party?" A small part of me hoped he was kidding and we could just hand out candy together.

"I'm sure he's not that big of a jerk. Besides, I really want to go!" He seemed so excited, I forgot how innocent he was. There's probably going to be smoking, drugs, alcohol, open bedrooms knowing Lee.

"Phillip," I whined hoping he would notice I didn't want to go.

"Come on please!" He begged. He took my hand in his. He forced me to look at his big beautiful eyes. Maybe I could go with him and protect him. That would be a last resort.

"Don't your parents hate Lee?" Suddenly remembering parent conference night. John and Lee almost got into a fist fight. John Laurens Hamilton was Phillip's dad. His other Dad was Alexander Hamilton. It wasn't uncommon for parent's kids to be gay but his were notorious for it.

"Well, yes. But I'm sure they'll let us go!" He just looked so excited. It was hard to resist.

"If your parents say yes, we can go." He jumped up  and squeals at the exciting news. I gave a small laugh as I closed my locker. We then began to walk to class.

"So what are you dressing up as?" Phillip asked while flipping through a text book.

"I'm not sure yet-"

"Why don't we match?!" Phillip asked excitedly. I smirked at the idea.

"What'd you have in mind?" I asked, very suspicious of his ideas.

"Don't laugh," He said,

"What is it?"

"JD and Veronica from Heathers." Phillip squealed, this actually wasn't as bad as I thought it was gonna be.

"Sure," I said while shrugging.

"Why not?" He gave another squeal and kissed me on the cheek. We made it to the class and sat down next to each other. Phillip was taking notes while I was trying to make the costume out of stuff I already owned. Wait, did he want me to be JD or Veronica? Probably JD right? I'll ask him at lunch.

~TIME-SKIP BROUGHT BY HOW TIRED I AM~

The bell finally rang and we were dismissed to lunch. They were serving the school special of greasy pizza or crappy fried chicken. Phillip and I both got pizza and we sat own at a table in the corner with our friend Theo. She was Aaron Burr's daughter. She was really sweet and supported us dating.

"Hey Theo!" Phillip said cheerfully as he sat down.

"Hey gays!" Theo said with a smile.

"You meant guys-"

"I didn't stutter." She said affirmatively. I could feel a blush come on my face. I only recently came out and I keep forgetting everyone knows. I'm just so used to keeping it a secret I guess.

"So, what are you too gay-birds doing for Halloween?" I think she made more gay jokes more than Phillip, and Phillip loves to make gay jokes.

"We were actually planning to go to Lee's party!" Phillip said with a mouthful of pizza.

"Lee's Party? As in Charles Lee's son?" She gave me a look with concern. The only thing I could do was give a shrug.

"Are you sure Phillip? Don't your parents hate Lee?"

"Well yes-wait, why does everyone keep using that?" He shouted, still with a mouthful of pizza.

"Sorry, I'm just...uh...surprised!" Phillip seemed to brush Theo's comment off and continued to discuss our costumes until lunch was over. (I'll be JD, he'll be Veronica)

~TIME-SKIP BECAUSE CLASSES ARE BORING~

Phillip's POV

"Charles Lee's Party?" Dad said in that time of voice, like he was angry. Papa was still typing on his computer but stopped at the mention of his name.

"Well...yeah." I mumbled under my breath worried they were going to say no.

"Phillip," Dad said with a sigh. "How bad do you want to go?"

"I want this so so so so so so so so so bad!" They seemed to pause to think. They looked at each other.

"Eacker is going to come with me, if that helps." I was trying desperately for them to say yes. Dad called Papa out of the room to talk for a minute.

Lauren's POV

"Charles F-Ing Lee!" I whisper/yelled, anger boiling up inside at the name.

"Look, I now we hate him but I'm worried if we say no he'll try to sneak out!" Alex said with his stupid persuasive lawyer voice. I huffed as I leaned against the wall. I was trying desperately to not let my anger cloud my judgement.

"Maybe if we can give Eacker some ground rules. He's a good kid he'll protect him." As Alex said this he laid a hand in my shoulder, which helped calm the anger.

"Are you sure Alex? I mean-"

"He'll be alright, trust me."

We both walked in together and told Phillip the good news.

"Really?!?" Phillip said with bright eyes.

"Really. BUT we have to talk to Eacker first." Alex stated.

"Deal! I'll go call him!" Phillip raced out of the room with a grin. I let out a sigh. As soon Alex looked at me he started to rub my shoulders. I let him do it for a few minutes then I left to go talk to Phillip.

"Ok, awesome! See you in 5!" He tapped his phone to hang up. He turned around to face me.

"Hey Dad, Eacker will be here in 5 minutes!" He said with one dog his classic bright smiles.

"Great!" I said trying to seem excited."

"Great..." I whispered while leaving the roof downing in worries. But Eacker is a good kid. He'll keep Phillip out of trouble...right?

Hey Friends! WOW! This chapter took FOREVER to make but part 1 is down! Whew! *throws confetti* So, I'm gonna give you a little update.
