Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. CRASH.
Mom is going to have to get me a new alarm clock again. Whoops. I sat up and looked in the mirror that was across the room.
You know how Anna looks when she wakes up in frozen? That is what I looked like right this instance.
It's kind of scary, which is perfect. Why? It's...
HALLOWEEN!
Happy dance.
Now, I fully plan on passing out candy at the door and being my introverted self. No way am I going to be an extrovert tonight.
Now that I think about it, there is absolutely no point in me being up right now. Might as well get some more Zs.
Slam!
I shot up and fell out of bed. What the...?
There he was.
Tom Hiddleston. He was standing there in all his baby blue eyed glory.
I wish.
It was just Derek, who was standing there with an evil smirk on his face.
Can I trade?
"I am throwing a party!" Him? Throw a party? Anymore jokes?
"Technically, the basketball team is throwing the party at one of their houses." I sighed in relief. I thought he was voluntarily inviting people over!
I looked at him with a 'why are you telling me this?' face. That's when I realized what the smirk was for.
No. No. No. No.
"CONGRATULATIONS CASEY! You are my plus one!" He yelled in glee. I heard clapping behind him and saw my mom laughing with Grant manically.
"It's not an option Case. Grant is staying at Brett's and I'm going out with Chance tonight. You are not being a hermit tonight." Mom said with a smirk.
Derek picked her up and swung her around like a kid and then turned back to me.
"Your mom's on my side." He proclaimed. I sighed and flopped on the bed.
"Great! I'll pick you up at 7!" He scurried out of the house and sped off.
Great. Now I have to get up.
I sat up and hopped to the bathroom. The floor is legitimate ice. I swear Grant has secret ice powers.
After, getting passed the icy floor, I plugged in my curling wand and curled the layers of my hair into perfection. Loki doesn't have perfect girls.
I slightly teased the hair so it looked a bit less girly. All of this took 2 1/2 freaking hours that I COULD'VE BEEN SLEEPING.
Next I worked on makeup. I did a smokey eye and added a little bit of green. I didn't put on lipstick because I didn't feel like it. A pathetic excuse, I know.
Once I was finished with all of that crap, I walked back to my room and started to get dressed.
Note to self: Don't forget to put on your pants BEFORE putting on shoes.
Crap.
When I finally learned how to dress better than a five year old, I slipped on my black wedge booties and got on my laptop.
I still had an hour to kill.
I got on my ASL learning program and started the next lesson. I've already progressed a lot in the past couple of days.
ASL is pretty easy to learn if you practice. I practiced for an hour before the doorbell went off.
I walked to the door carefully and swung it open. Derek stood there...dressed as Bucky.
Minus the mask.
I stood in awe at the metal arm.
"I know I'm handsome, you don't have to stare." He boasted. I shook my head furiously and pointed at the arm.
He sighed and shook his head.
"Such a nerd, Case. You, by the way, look beautiful." He said with a cheesy smile. I slapped his arm and marched to the car.
He chuckled and claimed into the drivers seat. I fiddled with my costume and stared into my lap. I haven't been to a party in a long time and I'm not the most liked person if you haven't noticed.
Derek put his hand on my hands and gave me a reassuring smile. I tried to give a smile back but it probably looked more like a grimace.
We got to the house faster than I thought. I say house, but what I really mean is a FREAKING MANSION.
The house was humongous.
I climbed out of the car and saw Haley almost immediately. She was sitting on a swing staring at her phone. I dragged Derek over there.
Haley was wearing normal clothes except the fact that her face had intricate painting on it. It looked truly amazing. I gasped in awe.
"I know, I know. I'm fabulous. You should see Jason and Lucy. Saylor and I are going to leave soon to watch movies. You, by the way, are not welcome to join us." She said plainly. Rude. She shrugged and waved bye to me.
Guess I'm stuck here.
Derek dragged me inside the house which smelled awful by the way. It smelled like sweaty teenagers and crap. Derek weaved his way through the crowd and into the kitchen.
I grabbed a bottle of water and turned to look at Derek, but he was gone.
My face paled and I scanned to room for him. I felt anxiety build in my chest. He can't just leave me alone!
I rushed into the backyard of the house and breathed in the cold air. I quickly walked over to a hanging swing that sat in the garden.
Breathe in.
1...
2...
3...
Breath out.
1...
2...
3...
I continued this cycle until I could breathe without wanting to cry. Anxiety attacks. They suck. I put in my headphones and started to listen to music.
About half way through my song (counting stars), someone tapped my shoulder. I went into full ninja mode just in case someone was going to try and attack me.
"Woah. Calm down Loki." A deep voice chuckled. A deep voice that I didn't recognize. I peered cautiously at him. The man looked at me with curiosity.
"I'm Drew." He stuck out his hand. I shook his hand slowly. "What's your name?" I opened my mouth and closed it.
Facepalm.
I heard laughter and saw him laughing at me. I blushed. I thought I did a mental face palm.
Craaaaaap.
He sat down next to me on the swing and started swinging it. I gripped onto the handle and shut my eyes.
Drew looked at me concerned and stopped the swing.
"You're having an anxiety attack, aren't you?" He pointed out bluntly. I nodded my head slowly and he threw his hands up in the air.
"Well, that's no good. I'm going to tell you a story. Don't laugh at me." I shrugged my shoulders. "I was at the airport once on my way to my grandparents. I had to go to the bathroom really bad but my mother told me I'd have to wait until we had gotten through security. I made my way through security like a good little boy. Once we had gotten through, I ran through the airport and into the bathroom. That's when I realized something."
I was into the story at this point so I did what any rational girl would do. I hit him so that he would continue. Drew let out a huge sigh.
"I was in the girls bathroom. I had to go so bad that I just stayed in there and went." I silently laughed my self to tears while thanking the lord that I was wearing waterproof makeup.
"That's not even the best part. This happen 6 months ago." He finished. I laughed and laughed.
Drew was about to say something but he got interrupted.
"Case! I was so worried. I couldn't find you anywhere and I assumed the worse and- who is this guy? We are leaving now. Goodbye whoever you are. Don't talk to Casey ever again." Derek grabbed my forearm and dragged me away from Drew.
I ripped my arm out of his grasp and glared at him. I pushed him to the side and stomped through the house.
No one stopped me as I marched through the front door and into Haley's car as she was about to leave.
"Well hello there Case." I typed home into my notepad and showed it to her. She nodded understandingly and told Saylor that they were going to drop me off first.
I smiled at her gratefully as she dropped me off.
"Call me if you need anything." Saylor yelled as they drove off. I waved and walked inside. No one was home as expected so I flopped on my bed and passed out.
••
Hey Kae's Baes!
In honor of Halloween, I'm updating again.
YAAAAAAY!
I dressed as Loki for Halloween. It was great.
On the side is Drew and Haley's face paint.
I've got a headache so I don't have much to talk about.
