chapter twenty eight

Harper pov

Today was the much hyped Halloween day which Racquel and I have been bussing over; it was Saturday anyway and I woke up early cause Racquel and I would be helping each other out on our make-up for our costumes which we got, I waited till afternoon cause I really didn't do anything much today than talk to the guys cause I planned on telling the both of them about what I wanted, which I hope they would understand and let us be like that or maybe something else but I am telling them both tonight.

The time moved swiftly and soon I was already helping Racquel with her make-up while she would do same for me when I'm done with her, she chose a costume of a female grim reaper who was modern as well as hot; with a very sexy short and stylish black gown she wore and had a dark cape around her and reaching her knee with a black boot reaching her calf, she was very hot with her choice of costume and her make-up further accentuates her looks.

I soon got ready as well and Racquel did my make-up too; I wore a red off shoulder floral dress with patches of white on it and a blue apron around my waist and a red cape attached to my dress while holding a basket, well my costume was of a teenage girl handing out sweet candy or rather bakens and my curly hair further brought out the teenager look in me, soon we were all set and we left for the Halloween party.

Well Jeff and his friends won't be coming to pick us up cause we would be seeing them at the venue so we headed there straight; we arrived at the party and I found the place already filled with lots of students who were already there dancing and some chatting about their personal endeavors, I kept walking hands in hands with Racquel who showed me where are friends were and I waved at them while they smiled at me and Racquel went towards Jeff and hugged him, I went to sit close to Lisa who filled me in on the happenings of tonight party.

She finished saying all about how it would be done and stood up to take get a drink and asked if I would like to have one and I stood up and accompanied her to get one, arriving there I asked for a low amount of alcohol drink which made Lisa asked me to loosen up a bit and have fun; I smiled at her and told her I have an agenda to accomplish before having fun and she smiled widely at me with a know it all smile and I took my drink while she started talking with a friend and I excused her, I walked back heading towards the spot where we sat before when someone held my hand.

I turned and saw it was Luke who held me and he smiled at me warmly; I smiled at him and he led me towards a seat where I sat and he complimented my costume which I wore and I told him he look good too with his costume, well he wore a basketball's jersey and a ball in his hand which made me asked him if he had always wanted to be a basketball player and he said it was just an hobby which he picked up growing up, he stood up to go get a drink when I got a text from Wells saying he's outside and asking where I was.

I told him the exact spot and he texted me he would be there; I mean I wanted to tell them already but first let them meet up and we could go to a more reserved place to have our conversation and I saw Selena who was with a company of some girls and she came over to say hello, I knew I couldn't ignore her but I plan on having a quick chat with her before both guys arrive but my wish never got answered and Luke came with a drink in hand while by passing the girls to come seat close to me, I knew I must end my chat now with Selena so I told her we would talk later.

Even if the girls around her were already staring at Luke with anticipation in their eyes; just about them Wells came over and I knew I need to make a quick move else things could go awry so I made a move to establish a proper conversation between them when a girl from Selena's group of friends spoke up, now you are caught between two of your lovers who would you choose and she laughed after which walked away along with Selena and her group, I was left speechless and the guys stared at me while also looking at each other.

I wanted to explain to them but I guess they needed time to adjust to my act of seeing the both of them ; so I walked towards Luke and picked my basket and said I'm sorry to him while moving towards Wells and I also apologize and ran off from the spot, and I dumped into Racquel on my way out and she asked what happened and I told her I need to go back now and she tried calming me while I only just ran out of the place and went back to the hustle.

I mean I knew I would have to face them both but not now cause I wasn't the one who told them about it and they found out from a random girl, so I left them to digest the news even if I had to explain my part to them; and getting back to the hustle I got a call from dad that mom had gain consciousness though she still remains at the hospital, I left as soon as possible to Indiana to go see her while I did left a message behind for Racquel.
