Chapter Eight: The Halloween Party
I am so excited! Today is Halloween. One of the best holidays besides thanksgiving. We have no school today. I have to go help Kim with her Halloween party. I was currently wearing this:
No this isn't my Halloween costume. This is the 'in case I get sweaty look'. I quickly skateboarded to the dojo. I saw Kim already setting up decorations. I smiled at her. "What do you need me to do?" I asked. "Um....just string some cobwebs up over there" she pointed in the direction of the ceiling. I grabbed a ladder and began to climb. I set up the cobwebs. "Be careful" a voice warned. I looked down to see Jack. I rolled my eyes. "Aren't I always?" I asked playfully.
"No not particularly" he replied sarcastically. I set up the last cobweb and pulled away. Well, at least I attempted to pull away. Ugh my sweaters stuck. I began to tug until I heard a rip sound that sent me flying backwards. Right into Jacks arms. I was in my bra now seeing as my shirt had ripped. I quickly jumped out of his arms my face flushing pink. Jerry walked into the room and his eyes went straight to me. "What it do girl?" He asked. Jack quickly took off his sweatshirt and pulled it over my head leaving him in nothing but a tank top. "Always careful huh?" He mocked. I rolled my eyes. "Thank you" I playfully punched him in the shoulder.
"What are you dressing up as?" He asked. I smirked. "It's a surprise" I grinned. Kim waltzed toward us. "Well I'm being the queen of hearts" she smiled towards Jack. "Right....well I'll see you guys at the party" I smiled leaving the dojo to go get ready.
At the Party......
I took a few breaths glancing at myself. I was wearing this:
Yes I am Alice from Alice In Wonderland. I was wearing Jacks necklace on my chest. I walked into the room to see Kim. She grinned at me surveying my costume. "Hey have you seen Jack?" I asked. "Right here" I turned around to see Jack dressed as the mad hatter. I grinned. "I knew you were mad but this mad" I giggled. "Hey are you guys entering the contest?" Kim asked. I looked thoughtful. "Maybe" I shrugged along with Jack. "Jack come dance with me" Kim pulled him onto the dance floor.
I watched as she dragged him away. "Hola señorita" a voice whispered in my ear. I whipped around to see Jerry dressed as Zorro. I giggled. "May I have this dance?" He asked. I nodded taking his hand as we went on the dance floor. I glanced over at Jack to see him staring at me and Jerry. I winked as Jerry twirled me around. The music started picking up and we switched partners. Now I was with some random guy in a mask, we danced until we switched for the last time. I was with Jack. "Fancy seeing you here" he smirked and tossed me up in the air just as the music stopped. I landed safely in his arms. Some random girl walked onto the stage.
"Now to announce the costume contest winner!" She cheered. "For individuals......Jerry Martinez!" I clapped for him. He took his metal and sat down. "For couples, Jack Brewer....and Penelope West!" She announced. We glanced at each other nervously. We shuffled onto the stage. "Um....we're not dating" I announced awkwardly. "Sure you're not" the announcer rolled her eyes.
After the Party.....
I helped Kim clean up putting stuff into boxes. I then noticed something. "My necklace is gone!" I exclaimed. I frantically searched for it. Jack grasped me by both arms. "You'll be ok it's just a necklace" he looked into my eyes. "No you don't understand it's more than just a necklace to me!" I argued. He sighed. "Ok show me a picture of it" I flushed and handed him my phone. He stared at it and then looked up at me. "It's my necklace huh" he smirked cheekily. I rolled my eyes. "I can't believe we won couples" I groaned and he chuckled. "Well I've got to go see ya" I waved smiling. I walked out of the dojo only to be firmly pressed against the wall.
I looked up to see the one and only Chad. "What do you want?" I spat. "I would be careful if I were you, you wouldn't want something getting out" he smirked and held up the necklace. He then held out pictures of me doing karate. "Chad give it back" I pleaded. "I will if....you be my girlfriend and I won't tell your dad" he offered. I sighed. "Fine" I agreed snatching my necklace back. "See you at school tomorrow, oh and wear a dress" he smirked. I groaned tomorrow will be a nightmare.
