*Time skip to Halloween*

Diannes POV

Today was Halloween. Joe, Josh and Caspar finally came back to school today. Today was also the day of the festival and i had managed to persuade my aunt to let me go. It invloved a lot of yelling but she finally gave in. She just wanted me out her sight for the day.

I got to school quickly, seeing all the boys standing at the gate.
"Joe!" I ran over and hugged him. Yeah i saw him all weekend and after school, but who said a girl cant be excited? He smiled and hugged me back tightly.
"Hey little red." He laughed, kissing my forehead. I glanced up at josh and caspar and smiled.
"Dont worry, i forgive you guys." I said sweetly. They both nodded.
"I guess it was a dick thing to do." Josh chuckled. "But were gonna be nice from now on. So, what you dressing up as for the halloween festival?" He added.
"Oh i didnt know we had to dress up....ill have to find something." I giggled. Joe smiled and kissed my cheek.
"You should go in a couple costume." Byron chimed in.
"Aww that would be cute." Jack and Conor said in sync.
"Harley Quinn and the Joker."
"Tom and Jerry."
"Buzz and Woody." The boys continued to joke. I hid my face in Joes shoulder.
"How about troy and gabriella. You know the two from high school musical?" Mikey said.
"Thats actually not a bad idea." Joe said, rubbing my arm gently.
"So we meeting at the town park at 5?" Josh asked, all of us nodding.
"Yeah, Dianne ill come get you from yours." He said. I smiled, the bell soon going.

This evening was going to be the best night of my life.

*After School*

I sat in my room, having my hair tied up in a high ponytail. I applied my makeup before standing up, looking at my costume. I was able to pull something together, and it was rather cute. My dress was just above my knees. The top was tighter but flowed out past my waist. Using my amazing sewing skills, i had sewn on cute little designs in white. Its all i had, however you could tell who i was supposed to be. My aunt screamed at me to go answer the door. I smiled brightly and put my shoes on. I said goodbye to my aunt before leaving. I smiled up at joe.
"You look amazing." He said softly, putting an arm around my waist.
"Dont look too bad yourself suggy." I said softly as we walked down the stairs of the block of flats and towards the town park. It wasnt too far, and a majority of the town went anyway, so everyone was in costume. When we got there, i screamed as caspar scared me.
"Its not funny." I pouted as the boys laughed.
"Youre cute when you pout." Joe said softly, squeezing me gently.
"Anyway, we going inside?" Josh asked. We all nodded and headed in, me and joe trailing behind them, giving each other sneaky little kisses when they werent looking.
We walked into one of the huge tents, music playing as people spread out. It was almost like a teen party, but for everyone. There were a few sweet bowls, which josh and caspar raided quickly. One of them threw a lollipop at me, couldnt tell who though. One of them anyway.

The boys left me and joe alone to go get drinks. We couldnt have alcohol here since we couldnt buy it. However we spoke aboit going back to joes after, and his mum allowed us to have small amounts of alcohol each. They came back and they me a water, which made me smile brightly.
"I cant pay you guys back." I sighed.
"Dont worry about it. It was only £1 anyway." Oli said laughing a little.
"So we gonna go dance or stand here like a bunch of losers?" Joe laughed, his arm round my shoulder.
We all smiled and nodded, however i seemed a little nervous. There we a lot of people.
"Youll be fine." He said, holding my hand, taking me into the crowd with the boys. They were playing mainly halloween songs, which made sense, however they started taking song requests. Everyone in the large tent was screaming the lyrics to mr brightside because everyone just knows the song. Joe smiled, resting his head on mine, his arms round my waist. I smiled and took a sip of my water, joe taking it out my hand and taking a sip before handing it back. I giggled and leant against him.

Joes POV

I smiled down at the beautiful girl that i held in my arms. My friends soon pulled me out my thoughts.
"Hey dude, we should go back to yours soon." Caspar said. I nodded and took Diannes hand. We all left after taking handfuls of sweets, putting them in caspars bag. We began to walk back to mine, but i huffed when dianne jumped on my back.
"I cant keep up with you all." She giggled and i laughed. However i carried her back to mine, throwing her on my bed when we got to my room. Mikey and Byron went to get the drinks since mikey knew where we kept them. Dianne sat in my lap as we all sat on my bed. Josh grabbed the shot glasses that i kept in my room.
"Dianne you gotta take a shot for every dance competition youve been in."
"You trying to get me drunk." She laughed, leaning against me happily.
"No drinking for you." I joked, dianne pouting.
"Fine." She huffed but smiled, taking Caspars bag and grabbing out a handful of sweets. The boys soon brought in the alcohol and sat down. We all poured a shot, except for Dianne since last time she got quite drunk, and she was too busy eating the sweets we took. Mikey was the first to get drunk. However we all got pretty drunk. One by one the boys began to leave, leaving me amd dianne home alone. I smiled and hugged her tightly.
"You should get some sleep mister. We have school tomorrow."
"Only if you stay." I slurred. She nodded and threw me some pjs before leaving to go find something. Dont remember what.

Diannes POV

I went into joes kitchen and found some aspirin. I poured some water into a glass and took the two things upstairs. When i got back into his room i smiled, seeing him asleep. I left the pills and water on his bedside table, setting his alarm for him for the next day before finding some paper.
'Left since you fell asleep, see you tomorrow ~ Dianne Xx ♡'
I left the note next to the glass before walking out his house and closing the door. I got home quickly, luckily not many people in the streets. When i got in my aunt was asleep on the sofa. By asleep i meant she drunk herself away. I sighed and cleared away the bottle before helping her to her room. Luckily she didnt wake up or she wouldve killed me. I put her on her bed before walking to my own room.

I giggled, changing into my pjs. I laid down and sighed.

Finally, i had friends who accepted me.

I had an amazing boyfriend.

Finally, things were going good
