My heart flutters in my chest as I comb my hair. I guess people can change, I’m wearing my hair down. But it is just for the dance.

I lay the brush down on the white bathroom counter. I brush my bangs behind my ear as I smile at my reflection. I don’t look nearly as bad as I thought I would without my hair pulled back.

I actaully kind of look good. I smile again, running my fingers through my ...

“Darling do you have any plans for Halloween?” Draya asks me as we lay beside each other

“Not really why?” I ask momentarily distracted from tracing patterns up and down Draya’s arm

“Well the coven is sort of having a Halloween party…well it’s actually more like a masquerade ball and I was hoping you would accompany me.”

“Would I be the only human there?”

“No, there will be other consorts and som...

All of my friends with the exception of Brian and Raquel had already attended the Edgewood homecoming the week priorbut were still excited to go to our own high schools homecoming and were talking about how it was their turn to “show thei...

My friends had somehow convinced me to go to the teen club again. I hated places like that in fact the only good thing that ever came from me going there was Draya, I sighed at least she would be there with me and I might actually have a good time. We were already planning on spending the day together and then I was going to spend the night at her house for the first time. Most people would think ...

Nigella took a deep breath, or tried to, anyway. The corset was laced far too tight for her to do anything other than inhale sharply, as if in a constant state of offence.

Thankfully, the seamstress her brother had procured had been more than happy to attach the materials Nigella had requested, although the overall effect was too flowery for her liking, Nigella was pleased to see she somewhat re...

Aaliyah was terrified. Hibiscus was always so out going ever since going to actual school, making friends and going to large parties. Aaliyah hated big parties because of her fear of big crowds. Did that make the orangette care at all? Of course not. No matter how much she loved the other, Hibiscus always wanted to do things, not that Aaliyah minded giving up time to go on fun random dates, but so...

Dana slipped the last weapon into the inside of the dress and pulled it over herself.

“Hey, Hunter? Could you zip me up?” Dana called over to her boyfriend and partner-in-crime.

“Sure, love,” he said, sauntering over and placing a kiss on her neck.

Dana grinned, turned around and kissed him full on the mouth.

“Hey!”

Dana and Hunter broke apart sheepishly and turned to look at their boss.

“I hate this couple’s costume,” yelled Tod as he kept his eyes on the road. “Why did I have to be the beast again?”

“Because,” Amy complained, “I thought it would be a cute couple’s costume, and we’re only wearing it tonight. So, by tomorrow morning, you can go back to your polos and washed-out jeans.”

“You know they’re going to be making fun of me right? They’re going to say ‘wow Tod, that cost...

“Ok so you will take this for 15 miles and take exit 46 on to Henderson road” says Mallorie from the passenger seat.

“Right! That would lead me straight to Tuscany avenue and up the hill of 11563 Alfi drive towards the villa.” I mimic with the same cheerful tone.

Mallorie swats at my arm and adds “ok I’ll stop with the backseat driver directions. You obviously looked over the maps.”

James smoothed back his onyx-black hair. He then rinsed the gel off his hands in the sink and dried them, lastly straightening the pin on his lapel.

He eyed himself in the mirror. He had a sweep of dark eyeshadow above his deep blue eyes, a pristine white handkerchief in his breast pocket. He traced his fingers over the pin again.
