I was in school, more specifically at theater club. All of this theater is so much fun, I got a part. I've been dealing with that by just remembering everything, and learning the blocking. Mike and I interact a lot with Mike with our characters.

I made my way over to him. Just to warn him again about me being gone, although not for a little while. I'm leaving again to La but this time for a week, but that's our thanksgiving break time already. It's the week before i'm gone, and then thanksgiving break i'm back in Boston.

But for now it's barely October. Almost Halloween though.

______Week before halloween______

My very good costume was Spider-Man, I thought it looked good, and it was funny to me at least. Mike was going to match Zayn, and I'm not sure what Riley was doing. I know she was going to trick or treat with her siblings.

And then after that, we're going to Mike's house, and we're sleeping over. Marisol isn't going to be there, since she's going to one of her friends' houses apparently. This was all going on a Sunday, and apparently my dad is just gonna hand out candy.

_______Friday before Halloween_____

Theater was doing a haunted house today, kinda like a fundraiser. I just wore my spider-man costume, and we didn't see anyone all day. We were allowed to leave after we cleaned the set up, and then we were allowed freedom.

After that, I just put on sweats and a sweater that I had in my bag. When I got home, I went to get changed, and did some homework. Wasn't much, I realized that my world history teacher doesn't actually teach, but instead reads off slides, and then assigns worksheets he found online.

He's like that history teacher from the tiktoks, where they coach a sport too. Except he doesn't coach football, but instead soccer.

________Halloween_________

Mike picked me up around 5, and I said bye to my dad. He had already gone through all the rules, and regulations. I wasn't wearing my costume yet, Riley said we could get ready at her place, and that her parents wouldnt be home til about 9, which is when we should be getting back from trick and treating.

We started getting dressed when it was 6, and I found that Riley was dressed up as Gwen from the spider verse. Mike looked hurt when we both came out from getting dressed.

"You guys did not just do that to me."

"We didn't know we were matching."

"Although we both look hot I would like to state."

"Oh thank you."

We went out with the kids, and started going around the neighborhood. When the kids were tired we put them to sleep, and Riley's parents got there, and we left for Mike's. So I thought, but then I realized we were not.

"Uhm- Sir where are we going?"

"Halloween party."

"With who?"

"Layla and Jayla."

"Why?"

"Because it's fun, and we haven't gone to a single party."

"Okay, I mean I guess."

The worst decision I've ever made. It was fun, ya know saw people play spin the bottle. Riley was the only one that participated out of the 4, since ya know mike and zayn are together, and then I have a boyfriend.

Beer pong got introduced, and I got on a team with Riley, I was good with it, but she wasn't. So still ended up being us drinking. I was buzzed but still aware of everything, well kinda. I kinda forgot how, but then I ended up in a room, and Riley was there.

We were talking, and then somehow we ended up kissing. I pulled away, and I just got up and left. I put the GPS, just so that I knew where I was. I decided not to bother Mike or Zayn. From here it was only a 20 minute walk. I knew it was dangerous for me.

So now we decide my fate. Fuck. I put the clothes on I still had in my bag, and put them over my costume, and I ran into Layla.

"Are you going already?"

"Yeah. I just want to head out."

"You got a ride?"

"Nah."

"Want me to drive you?"

See I would, but I don't want anyone from school knowing where I live. Not exactly a secret. I live with Chris Evans, and I don't really trust people to keep that a secret.

"Uhm- no i'm good."

"You sure? It's late."

Then Mike came up to me, and said we were leaving to his house now. I said bye to Layla, and got to the car.

"Mike, can you just drive me home please?"

"Hope you smell like alcohol, your dad is going to know."

"It's fine, please."

"Yeah okay."

Riley and I haven't spoken since everything, so the car ride was silent. I got home, and I opened the door with my key. I locked up and went straight to my room. I heard my dad calling my name.

"Hope?"

"I'm in my room."

We were talking through the door. I was getting dressed out of the costume, and clothes. Leaving myself in the spandex I wore under and a bra.

"I thought you were sleeping over at Mike's."

"Sorry, but something went wrong. Imma shower, and go to sleep. Sorry for waking you up."

"Your sure everything is okay? What happened?"

"Everything is good. Goodnight."

I took a shower. Maybe I imagined what happened between Riley, and even if I did I shouldn't have. After the shower I got ready for bed, and texted paddy. I feel guilty, and feeling quite honest.

Hope:

Paddle, i kissed a girl

Paddle:

What?

Hope:

I went to a party, and I got buzzed and then somehow went to a room, and she kissed me, and then I left and I came back home.

Paddle:

Okay? You're telling me this, why?

Hope:

I feel guilty

Paddle:

But it wasn't your fault

Unless of course you liked it

Hope:

Im sorry

Paddle:

I don't care, go to sleep, as long as u don't cheat on purpose on me we're good

Hope:

I would never again would never

Paddle:

She kissed you right? You pulled away and left, and she was buzzed too I'm assuming?

And you were buzzed, so i'm thinking ur telling the truth

Get some rest love

Hope:

Yeah she was

Goodnight paddle
