Chapter Seven
In two hours is the Halloween Dance.
Actual Halloween is on Sunday but we're having the dance today.
Gabby's mom made my costume but I have no one to do the make up.
I text Gabby and she doesn't know how.
All I have left now is Fred.
Might as well try.
Me: Hey do you know how to do makeup for halloween.
Fred: Yup.
Me: Really?
Fred: Yeah, why do ask?
Me: I was wondering if you could do my makeup.
Fred: Sure thing. Be there in ten.
Me: Thanks.
Fred: Don't mention it.
I change into my costume and wait for Fred.
I hear a knock on my door.
I open the door and see Fred.
He's dressed as a vampire slayer but he also has a backpack on.
I'm dressed as a vampire.
-"Well this is quite the coincidence" Fred says with a laugh.
-"Indeed it is" I laugh back.
-"Better watch out vampy" He says in an Australian accent, holding up a sharp looking wooden stake that's covered in fake blood.
I laugh and gesture for him to come inside.
He walks in.
-"So where do you want to do the makeup?" He asks.
-"My room" I respond.
I lead him upstairs.
He sits in my desk chair with his feet on the desk.
He takes off his backpack and rummages through it.
-"I don't have any vampire teeth but I have fake blood" He announces.
-"That's fine I have the teeth" I respond.
He gets up and gestures for me to sit in the chair.
I sit in the chair.
-"Do you have any temporary black hair dye? The vampires I've seen aren't gingers" He says, running his hand through my hair.
Up this close I can smell his breath and cologne.
-"Earth to Elliot" He says with his tilted grin.
-"I think we have some in the bathroom" I finally say.
He gives me the thumbs up sign and heads towards the bathroom to look for hair dye.
He returns a few minutes later with the hair dye bottle.
-"Now let's get rid of your gingerness" He announces, shaking the hair dye bottle like a mixologist.
-"Hold your breath" He commands.
I hold my breath and shut my eyes as he dyes my hair.
I can hear the dye spraying on my hair.
This happens for about thirty seconds.
-"Okay the hair is dyed now we have to make it gelled back" He says.
He goes back to the bathroom then returns with the hair gel.
