‘Kit danced around in her sexy cat costume while waiting on Bette.’

Kit: “Bette! Come on now, you’re going to make us late.”

‘Bette peaked out from behind a closed door, Kit held in her breath as she waited for the rest of her sister’s body to show.’

Kit: “I don’t believe it.” ‘Kit smiled and observed her sister’s costume.’

Bette: “Is it too much, I know I look pathetic.”

Kit: “No, noyou look just fine baby sis.”

Bette: “Thanks.”

-Carmen- I turned back around and silently placed on my costume. I look myself over in the mirror and catch a look of carelessness. I feel that my nonchalance’s towards Shane just five minutes ago disgusted me.

‘She wasn’t actually trying to hide anything from me, nice and calm about it.

‘Her thoughts where still own what happened early, and would remain there until the night is over with. I feel a more and worse competition between me and Tina. The fact that she’s obviously fascinated with Shane allows me to wonder about my own feelings toward her, do they need to stop. Maybe, if it comes down to that I can be sure I’ll become one of her friends she can depend on.

‘Knock!’

‘I turned around and opened the door. My shirt was just about to come over my face when the voice of a new person surprised me. “Sorry!” ‘Moira backed out the door and hid her face. Now, something just dawned on mewhy was Moira afraid to see me half dressed.

‘It’s something I need to keep to myself and find more later on. Who knows, maybe she had a habit of doing so, or because she doesn’t know me that well, yeah, that seems more reasonable.

Carmen: “its okay, come in.” ‘She brushed past me with her eyes still closed, Moira: “Shane told me I could change up here if you where done.”

Carmen: “Well I am what you think.” ‘I twirled around enough to let the dress flow around me.’

“Gr-eat, you look great.”

 Her voice sounded scratchy at first but clear. ‘Mysterious isn’t the word for me at this moment, she’s very different from this morning.’

“So you know Shane.”

“No I just met herpretty cool,” ‘She scratched the back of her head and avoided eye contact with me, her cheek’s turning red.’ “Okayum, see you downstairs.”

‘I left the room slowly grinning like an ass.’ ‘I figured she wasn’t used to me yet, and of course I forget the effect I have on people who take an interest in me.’

‘Although I shouldn’t be too cocky’

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

-Shane- I look up at the stairs and watch as Carmen slowly descends with a smile plastered on her face, what happened up their.’

‘She losses the smile as soon as she looks up at me, her eyes distant as mine where.’

“Have fun.”

“Doing what Shane?” ‘She looked at me curiously.’

Shane: “Nothing.” ‘I walk to the sofa and sit down, all the while wondering why my heartbeat was racing.

‘Sunny and Tina crept onto the scene as the music started to blast. “This is going to end up looking like the last time.”

Sunny: “Or worse,” muffled Sunny. Tina smirked and grabbed her hand, moving the rainbow hair out of her face.’ “So are you going to tell them it’s you?”

Sunny: “Nah, I’m too fucked up on acid anyway.” ‘Tina laughed.’

Tina: “When did you do acid?”

Sunny: “I have no idea.”

‘They continued to chat as they made their way to the door. Unknowingly, Bette and Kit came up right behind them.’

“Ah!” Tina yelped. Sunny turned around and laughed inside her costume. Bette smirked at Tina, “Is that suppose your date Tina.”

Tina: “Indeed Bette,” Tina hugged Sunny, who to others wasn’t present.’

Kit: “Aw, well Bette you lost your chance.” ‘Kit walked into the party, Sunny, incognito followed along. Bette stood their admiring Tina’s drag costume, black all over with a silly wig, “That looks hot.”

Tina: “Yeah hot I know,” She said sarcastically. Bette rolled her eyes while Tina got a good look at the costume she was wearing, “You think you looked like a clown already.”

Bette: “Funny.”

Tina: “Why thank you.” ‘Tina winked at her and walked into the party as well.’

Bette shivered at the warm smile she receive from Tina, an image that would last long in her memory.’
