" What are you going to be for Halloween?" I asked Malcolm while carving a pumpkin. We were spending a Saturday together. The Saturday before Halloween and the Saturday last Saturday before Jacob was coming back.

" I don't know, I just planned to put makeup on and go steal little kids candy." he joked. I nudged him with my arm as he laughed lightly.

" That's mean." I told him and he shrugged.

" What are you going to be?"

" A bumble bee."

" Cute."

" I know." I said sweetly.

"Seriously great costume pick. Can't wait to see the hundred girls who are wearing the same one." my mouth dropped open when he said that. " I'm kidding I'm kidding!" he exclaimed throwing his hands up and I hit him nonstop. " Come on I'm sorry!" I pulled away and shook my head.

" You deserved that." I told him. " You want to see the costume?"

" Yeah sure." he said. I washed my hands then walked over to the closet. I pulled it out and held it up.

" Very cute." he said. " Put it on."

" No way."

" I'm gonna see you with it on anyway." he had a point there.

" Oh fine." I said then went to my room. About ten minutes later I came down with it on. " See."

He looked me up and down. Probably enjoying the sight. " Beautiful." is all he said before going back to carving the pumpkin. I felt really bad for him because I know he likes me, but I also really like Jacob. I must have said that a thousand times. I feel as if I'm in the Twilight series. One great big disaster.

" You pumpkins done." he said stepping away. It looked great. There were triangle eyes and a nose cut out, along with sharp teeth to scare little kids.

" Fantastic." I said picking it up. " Let's go put it on the window." I placed it on the window then pulled back the curtains. Malcolm stood outside to check to see if it was straight. He put two thumbs up and I nodded.

" I'm gonna go now." he said walking down the walk way.

" Why so soon?" I asked catching up with him.

" I don't know, I just thought I'd go." he said.

" No stay, my parents bore me to death anyway." I said he laughed.

" Okay." I grabbed his hand and walked him upstairs to my room. He sat back on a chair while I sat pretzel legged on the edge of my bed. I turned on the television and luckily a Halloween marathon was playing.

" Oh crap!" I exclaimed while watching one of the characters get stabbed to death.

" She's an idiot." Malcolm said and I nodded.

" I'll go make popcorn." I said leaving the room. I walked down to the kitchen and made popcorn. As soon as I finished I heard my phone buzz. I picked it up and saw a text from Jacob.

" I'm at the door." it said and my eyes widened. I threw my phone down and ran to the door. I opened it and saw Jacob standing there.

" Oh I missed you so much!" he exclaimed pulling me in for a hug. I didn't hug back for a second because I was still confused.

" Are you okay?" he asked and I nodded.

" Just surprised. What are you doing back so early?" I asked.

" I did this on purpose cause I wanted to surprise you." he said. " I was really supposed to come back today."

" Oh Jacob." I said going in for a hug but he kissed me instead.

" So can I come in?" he asked.

" Yeah of course." I said. " Um Malcolm is upstairs."

" What's he doing here?" Jacob asked.

" We were just watching Halloween movies."

" Sure." he said a little irritated and I frowned. " Be right back."

I ran upstairs. " Jacob's here."

" What?!" Malcolm exclaimed. " What for?"

" He came back early...or did he....I don't know he's just back."

" Does he know I'm here?"

" Yeah, come on down." Malcolm put his coat on. " Your leaving?" I asked.

" I don't want to be here with him, I don't even really like the guy."

" He feels the same about you." I said.

" Then at least we agree on something." Malcolm said running downstairs.

" Hi Malcolm." Jacob said but Malcolm already ran out the door not saying a word.

" Well then." Jacob began. " We can celebrate alone."

" Yeah sure." I said sitting down next to him on the couch.
