Jimmy's Perspective-

One Week Later-

"Hey Jim!" Scott caught up to Jimmy after ELA class.

"Oh, hey Scott. What's up?"

Jimmy seemed a lot happier since the past week (that's because Lizzie is dating Joel and she's in a much better mood, making Jimmy happy).

"Er- this Saturday for Halloween, Katherine's hosting a party at her house and I was wondering if you wanted to go with me."

Jimmy looked embarrassed, "Oh- sure! Are you sure you wanna go with me though?"

"Uh- yeah. Katherine said it was okay if I invited some of my friends. Why? Do you not wanna go?"

"No, I want to! It just- I kind of had plans to go trick or treating with Grian, Oli, Mumbo, and Pix."

"Well, if they wanna come to the party, that's fine! I'm sure Katherine would be fine with that!"

"O-okay then!" Jimmy smiled, walking over to his lunch table.

Scott followed and put down his bag.

He rummaged around for a second before pulling out a white invitation that had flowers decorating the sides.

"Here. I can just get another one from Katherine." Scott said before standing up, "I hope to see you guys there!"

He winked at Jimmy before sitting down at his lunch table.

Jimmy blushed and Grian laughed, "What was that about? Is Scott asking you out?"

"Er- kind of." Jimmy said, looking at the paper.

"He invited me to a Halloween party that Katherine was having."

"Oh yeah, I forgot about that." Oli said, taking a bite of his sandwich.

"Are you going?" Mumbo asked.

Oli shook his head, "A girl asked me out to it, but I said no since we had plans to go trick or treating."

Pix looked down at his food but Jimmy could've sworn he saw Pix smile and have red form on his cheeks.

"Well, I don't have to go." Jimmy said.

"Didn't Scott say 'I hope to see you guys there'?" Mumbo asked, "Are we invited as well...?"

Jimmy nodded, "Yeah. He said that if you guys wanted to come than you can."

"Cool!" Grian said, "I'm sure my dad would be okay with that. And my mom would be fine with it as long as you guys are there."

Mumbo shrugged, "I'm down."

"Sure." Oli and Pix said.

Jimmy smiled, "Alright. I'll tell him we're going."

Saturday (Scott's Perspective)-

"Scott! Get ready!" His mother called.

Scott smiled as he looked in the mirror, "Mom I need your help!"

"With what?" She poked her head into the restroom.

"Scott, you need to change."

He held up a bottle of cyan hair dye.

She bit her lip.

"Just this once." Scott pleaded, "Please. It's only for this party. This stuff will fade out after a week."

"A week?!"

"Please." Scott said and his mother sighed.

"Alright fine. But just this once." She said and Scott hugged her.

"Thanks mom."

"Of course, sweetie."

-

Scott twirled in the mirror, smiling from ear to ear.

His fluffy cyan hair fit perfectly with his dress.

It was a white dress that had cyan snowflakes on it.

Scott grabbed his white cat mask and put on his black convers as he ran outside to his mother's car.

"Do you have your mask?" His mother asked as he strapped in.

Scott showed her his mask as he tied his shoes.

"Good. Let's go."

Scott wanted to arrive early to help out Katherine.

"Thanks so much." She smiled as Scott walked in.

"Give me a call when it's over." Scott's mother said, kissing him on his forehead before leaving.

"How'd you convince her to dye your hair?"

"It was easy. My dad wasn't in the room." Scott said and Katherine nodded.

"Who'd you invite?" Scott asked.

"Shelby. She's gonna be wearing a black wolf mask that has green eyes and stuff."

Scott nodded.

"Where's your mask?" He asked.

"In my bedroom. So did you invite Jimmy, Oli, Grian, Mumbo, and Pix?"

"Er- I just invited Jim."

"Why?" Katherine asked, a smirk on her face.

"Oh, shut up. You know I like Owen!"

Katherine giggled, "Are you gonna confess to him?"

"Yep. Do you know- "

"Llama mask."

"Should've guessed." Scott smiled as he thought about Owen, his heart fluttering.

-

Scott watched as people flooded in.

He spotted Jimmy and waved him over.

"H-hey Scott!" Jimmy said, his facing heating up at the sight of Scott in a dress.

"Hey Jim! Oli, Grian, Mumbo, Pix." Scott nodded to each one of them.

Mumbo was wearing an owl mask that went with Grian's parrot mask.

When Scott saw Oli, he burst out in laughter, "Oli! Why're you wearing sunglasses!?"

Oli posed which made Scott laugh even more.

"Well I wanted to wear something but I didn't have any and Pix wasn't going to wear a mask so." Oli shrugged.

"Ooh. You and Pix are going out, right? You only wore sunglasses to match Pix? That's why Mumbo and Grian are matching, correct?"

Jimmy's awkwardness disappeared as it was dispersed to his friends who immediately turned red and started stuttering answers.

"W-what makes you think that?" Pix asked.

"Definitely not. I mean, I like him- not like that!" Grian said, before groaning into his hands.

"We're not dating. I don't know why you would think that. We're just friends. We act like we're just friends- "

Mumbo cut himself off and turned red.

Scott raised an eyebrow.

"Yeah...super cool at covering that up."

Jimmy laughed and his friends shot him looks.

Scott giggled and then his eyes fell on a guy in a llama mask and an orange sweater.

Scott blushed as he got up.

He quickly fixed his hair and straightened his dress.

"I'll see you guys later!"

And he disappeared into the crowd.

Jimmy's Perspective-

Jimmy's smile faded as he watched Scott get in a conversation with Owen.

Music started playing and Jimmy started to chat with his friends.

Oli tried to convince Pix to dance with him but Pix kept shaking his head.

"Come onnn." Oli whined, "Don't be boring!"

Pix scoffed, "I'm not boring!"

"Then dance!"

Pix bit his lip and Oli grabbed his hand.

"Come on! No one cares!"

"But I don't have a mask." Pix made an excuse.

Grian took out a pen and a pad of sticky notes. (which he just has don't question it. do you want Olix or not?!)

He handed it to Oli, "Here."

Oli wrote something on the note and stuck it on Pix's forehead.

Pix reached to take it off, but Oli slapped his hand.

"No. Keep it on so we can dance!"

And they disappeared.

Mumbo, Grian, and Jimmy laughed.

"Why did Oli write 'straight A student'?"
Mumbo snickered.

"Because he is!" Jimmy laughed and eventually they calmed down.

They sat down, talking, as Jimmy watched Oli and Pix dance.

"You gonna dance Tim?" Grian asked after a minute.

Jimmy shook his head, "Probably not."

"Then why'd you come?"

Jimmy shrugged, "I had some hope that Scott wanted to hang out with me." He mumbled, looking over at Scott who was blushing and dancing with Owen who was laughing.

Jimmy sighed as he rested his head on his hand.

Grian and Mumbo exchanged concerned looks.

Grian patted his friend's back.

Mumbo then got up.

He walked over to Scott who had left Owen to get water.

"What's he doing?!" Jimmy hissed.

Grian shrugged and watched as Mumbo got into a conversation with Scott.

Jimmy hid his face in his hands as Mumbo and Scott walked over to them.

"Hey Jim."

Jimmy looked up and saw Scott, who was smiling.

"Have you danced at all?" Scott asked.

"I'm not much of a- "

"It's a dance party. You're supposed to dance!"

Jimmy shook his head, but Grian pushed him up.

"At least one song." Grian said.

"Yeah! Come on!" Scott led Jimmy to the dance floor.

"I thought you wanted to dance with Owen."

"He's talking with some friends. When he's done, I'm planning on telling him I like him."
Scott blushed, looking over at Owen who was talking with some guys.

Jimmy's heart cracked a bit.

After the song ended, Jimmy sat back down with Mumbo and Grian.

"See? That wasn't so bad." Grian said.

"Oh, shut it." Jimmy said, "It was worse than you'd expect."

"The dancing?"

"Scott said he's going to confess his love to Owen in a couple of minutes."

Just then, a phone alarm started going off.

"Oh, shoot." Grian said, taking out his phone and shutting off the alarm.

"It's been one hour. I gotta go soon."

Mumbo shrugged, "Okay. That's fine."

Jimmy looked over at Scott who was walking over to Owen.

"You know what? I'll go too."

"Tim? Is everything oka- "

"Everything's fine, thanks. I'm just tired. Besides, I don't wanna interrupt Scott when he's dancing with his new boyfriend."

"O-okay." Grian said, "I'm sure my dad would be okay with us dropping you off at home."

"Thanks." Jimmy said, walking outside.

Grian called his dad and then walked out next to Jimmy.

"It's going to be okay." Grian said, patting his back.

Jimmy burst out in tears and hugged his friend.

"It's going to be okay."
