Another occasion is up on our list, can't this get even more worst?!
Halloween jam, well what are suppose to do there? Dress up like some random c*rpes and attend the party? Now I kinda regret being part of the Core society.
I heaved a deep sigh before leaning over my desk, my arms extending straightly over my head as I lift my head to read our NEW schedule for the next month.
Getting busy and hype up sounds good but if that means less sleep and more work and I'll have to say no for this.
By the days comming over fast, Mikayla eventually starts opening up to me and my friends and I find it so cool that she adjust to everything so easily, sometimes the cure to hard heaed people like her is a good slap of their faces to wake them up to reality.
Anyways, I guess I'll have to need some help with my cousin back there, Josh and Honey could help me on this one and I bet they are the ones who can't say no to me- but before that, I should ask the smartest among us.
After classes I waved to my friends for lunch while I walk with Ace, while doing so I took out my phone and dialed 'his' number. It didn't even take a while when he answered my call.
"Jiro!" I cheered.
"No, Cursetine" he immediately said making ne frown.
"I haven't said anything yet" I pouted.
"You only call me if necessary, can that wait?" He said seriously but nah, I know he can't say no to me exactly.
"Why ya busy?" I asked him back.
"I'm busy pursuading my fiancé, so?" He questioned.
"Nevermind, I'll just asked Josh and Honey" I complied, not believing a cold and introvert cousin of mine is able to do that.
"Yeah do that, sorry Tinay, not today" he chuckled deeply, I rolled my eyes even if he cannot see it.
"It's okay, good luck Jiro" I said and he ended the line.
Ace just smiled at me while a take I dialed Honey and Josh, our talk wasn't that long since they are both busy but they said that they are willing to help me anyways.
"Isn't that cheating?" He smirked at me, I took a cool sip on my drink before shoting him a look.
"Nope, I just happen to have a lot of connections" I replied.
"Well if you say so, let's hurry up so we can join the others" he told me and I nod my head.
At times like this- where everyone of us from the Core Society is handling our busy schedules we would always meet up every lunch to discuss a few things regarding some Academy matters.
After having our lunch, me and Ace headed towards the conference room and everyone was already there except for us, I handed Ace the files before taking a seat next to Loraine while Ace proceeded to the white board in front to start the meeting.
Everyone was listening carefully while I jotted down every necessary things that are mentioned on our meeting, I also included writing those questions that everyone ask about the said matter and how everyone helped each other on answering each questions.
"... and that's it for the last subject, questions?" Ace asked and no one raised their hands, I sighed gladly and closed my journal.
"Alright, meeting ajourned" he announced and everyone gave him a round of applause.
Ace and his smart brain is a total complete pakage, and there's also a lot of bonuses that comes with it- if you know what I mean *wink*.
I grinned while standing up to follow the others out the door and when I did, I hung my arm over Pierce's shoulder while Icer set a hand over his other shoulder with a smirk.
"You're gonna do the project now" he announced and his face darkened.
"I refuse" Pierce insisted.
"Overruled beach! Say goodbye to your free time with Xiena motha'f*cker" Icer dragged him away as I giggle.
"I'll see you later" Ace smiled and I waved at him with a nod.
"Later!" I hyped before skipping after Icer and Pierce.
I smirked formed it self on my lips when Pierce collapse on his chair, Louanne just sighed and took our tabs away so we can set our notes on the table.
"Now you know the feeling of getting drastic about researching something more complicated than the human evolution" Icer sneered and he kept whinning on the floor.
"Alright gentlemen, finish these first so we can have an early rest" Louanne said after distributing the lab results of our research.
I started working on mine and the two male groupmates of ours have no other choice but to obeyed to her.
As the leader of this group, I have full responsibilities to have my team work up to finish this project as soon as possible to get the highest additional points- on the other half-
"I bet Aces' group is a step closer to finishing this" I sighed.
"Come on, they're currently busy with Math, I don't think they'll finish their part any time soon" Louanne nudged me and I gave her a smudge smile.
After a few moments, I flipped over my notebook to read my notes when a blue paper revealed itself between the pages, I sighed and pulled it out and automatically, the corners of my mouth lifted.
'Dinner date, I'll fetch you later at 6:30'
"That guy..." I clicked my tongue before going back to work to finish our project.
"Everyone done?" I asked them.
"Yeah, I'll do the cover" Icer presented.
"I'll do the editing then" Louanne also said.
"Leave the graphics to me" I reached out to get the papers on our table before we all turn to Pierce.
"And that leaves me the conclusion" Pierce frowned understandingly.
After that we left the Science lab and carried on to our schedules before the day ends, when I exited the main building, I took a glance at Ace who's sitting at the end of the terrace on the 3rd floor wearing his eyeglasses and looking deeply through the papers on his hand.
What a wonderful view to witness, I smiled and simply made my way towards the girls' building to get myself ready.
It's really boring because me and the girls have different schedules, we rarely even eat together because of our extra classes and project meetings lately.
Not that I'm complaining though, we're students from one of the most high standard teaching Academy's so it's normal for us to be this busy- well a lot more busier than our past years.
First, I settled the things I need for my graphic image before working on with my homework, after I was done I took a glance on my phone's time and realized that I only have 10 minutes before Ace would come and fetch me.
I rushed into my closet and picked a grey knee length dress and a black blazer and changed. I also braided my hair and applied some light make up to hide my hagard look.
I flicked my phone screen just in time when someone knocked on the door, I smiled before walking over to open it.
"Good evening" he greeted warmly, I smiled and suprised him with a hug, how I miss him.
"Battery full?" He asked and kissed the top of my head.
"Yeah" I giggled as he hold my hand and he is the one who locked up our dorm.
Weird, Annie isn't back here yet? I decided to shrug it off for now and focus on Ace as he led me on the garden at the back of our building.
A fine set dinner was settled on one of the spots here, it was simple yet so romantic, how lucky am I to date this guy?
"I thought you were busy?" I grinned.
"Well I could cancel some work to spend a little time with you" he leaned down to give me a quick kiss on my lips and I blushed right away.
"Let's eat?" I asked him with a smile that is unable to leave my lips.
He nod before accompanying me towards the table so we can have our dinner, once we settled down, we talked about our past days and catch up with some things that we both missed because of our tight schedules.
Time flew so fast huh, it's been three weeks and two days since the sports fest ended and yet our works are never ending.
After our dinner we stayed there for a little while, just looking up the stars silently until the scented candles melted off. He walked me back to my dorm and suprisingly we saw Pierce and Annie still chatting outside.
I greeted them and they immediately greeted back, Annie bid her good night to Pierce and same goes for me and Ace, we both waited until the two males stepped inside the elevator before entering the room ourselves.
"So any more clues?" She asked while tossing her things on her bed, I sat on my desk and opened 'his' notebook.
"It really looks the same, there's no doubt" I smiled brightly and she squealed while covering her mouth.
"This is what we call 'destiny'- welcome to reality beach" she playfully smacked my shoulder and I just shook my head while chuckling.
Morning came, and here we are, the five of us are standing in the middle of the mall, still deciding to attend the party or not, this is really not working at all, I don't even know what I'm going to wear.
"Hey Tine?" Loraine nudged me.
"Huh?" I trailed off my thoughts and looked at her.
"Your favorite color is red right?" She asked.
"Yeah, and?" I asked, then she pointed at one of the boutiques, and my eyes immediately landed on the finest display on the window.
"You're playing as little red riding hood" she sneered and pushed me towards the boutique with the other three trailing behind confusely.
"What about you guys?" I asked them.
"Well since we're gonna wear 'our' favorite colors then I think I'll work that iconic Elsa from Frozen" Sam shrugged and stroll off to find her dress.
"Let's see, white- corpse bride!" Liz snapped her fingers.
"Great, I don't think I have one in mind" Annie turn to me.
"Don't worry, I'll help you, Loraine?" I turn to her.
"I got the basic one, go help her" she waved her hands before leaving us.
Annie waited for me to get my clothes before I acconpany her on finding her costume.
It's been over an hour yet everything I introduced to her was rejected and I started to feel so tired on trying to find the best one for her.
"Got anything yet?" Sam asked when she found us near the dressing room.
"It's her 43rd one, so far" I frowned.
"Well geez, so much for a mafia princess" she chuckled.
"What did you get her?" Liz asked.
"Dunno, she's the one who picked it" I answered and waited until she finally opened the curtain.
"What the-" our jaws literally dropped when she stood there wearing a Maleficent costume- minus the horns for now- and the design is a little different from the original one.
This one has a slit on the right leg that lasted up to her lower hips and it perfectly hugged her curves, it looks perfect.
"Alright, time to cash out" Sam announced.
"Alright! Let's go ladies" Liz said excitedly and I followed them to the counter.
"What did you get today Loraine?" I asked her.
"Just a green latern costume" she smiled while holding up her bag.
"That's cool" I complimented and waited for the others to finish paying for their costumes before taking our leave.
We then look over some place to eat our lunch, and of course, as the rich princess of the group, Annie ended up smacking her *shinning, shimmering, slendid* black card on the table of the restaurant she picked to pay for the foods.
"Wow" Sam breathed out, I cringed while watching our food getting served on our table.
"Well we kinda desserve this after a whole week of packed scheds" Annie blabbered nonsensely as she offered her hand to the waitress and she immediately handed back her card.
We thanked her for the treat and start digging up our food, it's a rare occassion for me to eat on a expensive restaurant like this so I better make the most of it.
After lunch we all headed out the mall and decided to walk back to our building, we still have a lot of time ahead of us anyways and this is also the best way to burn some fats after eating a whole bunch of meal earlier.
Our building may be far from here but we don't mind, we're enjoying this actually, the main building is just a kilometer ahead but that eventually ruined.
"That's his car right?" Sam asked her roommate.
"Confirmed" she sighed and it stopped right next to us.
Clyde rolled the window down and gave us a smirked.
"You girls, are in deep trouble, hop on Loraine" he tap on the other side and she frowned.
"Can 'you' guys, leave us alone, at least for today?" She crossed her arms over her chest.
"We can't, now don't wait for me to carry you inside" he glared at her and she sighed in defeat.
"Well see you girls, thanks for the lunch Annie" she waved at us before entering Clyde's car and they drove off.
"Sometimes, it's kinda regretful that you're not single" Sam commented.
"I know left" I joked and we laughed before continuing our journey towards our building.
~
I sat there, at the end of my bed with my arms and legs crossed while looking at him- glaring down at me, he's been scolding me since I got here, and it's been 30 minutes!
"Are you done?" I raised a brow at him and he glared at me, I glared back before standing up on my bed making me taller than him.
"Death Jaxen Ace Salazar, you're not my mother so stop scolding me for sneaking out without you knowing" I argued back, he picked me up only to settle me on the floor so I tilted my head up to look at him.
"Stop calling me that and by the way, you're at fault here young lady not me" he pointed at me and I swatted his hand away with a pout forming on my lips.
"We're on the same age, stop calling me that" I complained that he broke down his tough posture.
Ha! Finally, I'm not in trouble anymore now! I wonder how are the rest doing?
"Don't think you can get out of this so easily" he crossed his arms and I smirked and removed my blazer to expose my shoulders and collar bone because I'm only wearing a blue tube shirt underneath.
"Are you sure?" I flirted and his ears turned red in no time, come on Ace, just give up already.
"I'm warning you Cursetine, I may respect you to the highest power but I'm still a guy with needs you know" he smirked and I shrugged, walking past him to untie my hair and grab the brush on my vanity to brush it neatly.
The next thing I know, I was pinned on the wall right next to my vanity, eyes locked on his deadly omes filled with desire, I gulped down and he smirked at that gesture of mine.
And I guess I got myself into another trouble again, both of my hands are pinned on either sides of my head and his left leg blocking my smaller legs to provent me from escaping him.
"A-ace" I almost choked.
"My, my, is miss little red riding hood that afraid of the big bad wolf?" He teased and I blushed hard, feeling my breath stopped when his husky voice rang my ears.
"Don't worry babe, I don't bite, unless you want me too" he laughed before moving away and my jaw dropped.
"Lesson learned, don't tease those who are already a pro on doing those things" he smirked and pulled me close to him.
I was still left speechless and didn't even notice that he snaked his arm on my waist and his other one lifting my face for me to meet his dark eyes.
"May I?" He asked, gently running his thimb on my slightly parted lips. I smiled and nod my head.
He leaned down to capture my lips, it was really gentle and sweet at first but after 5 seconds it changed- that fast, our tongues danced with each other for a little while and what happened next suprised me.
His lips left mine and started traveling on my jaw, sliding his tongue on my jaw line before kissing my neck, I gasp out of air after feeling him separating from my skin.
I was blushing hard while staring at his chest, he's really full of suprises, I felt him ran his other hand on waist, down my hips before setting it back on my waist making me look up to him.
"We have a meeting at 4 later" he said and a quirk appeared on my forehead.
"Way to ruin the moment" I hissed and snatched my hand away from him.
He was about to say something when the door opened revealing a 'loading information' Sam and 'confuse' Annie with their boyfriends behind.
"What's that on your neck? And your blazer-" she was lost in words when she saw it laying on the floor messily and I look back at Ace noticing that I unconciously unbottoned two bottons of his shirt.
"W-wait Sam, you got it all wrong" I deffended but it was too late.
"You *sshole!?"
~
Wearing a black strapless dress, combat gloves, net stockings and ankle boots I faced the mirror, Annie already curled the ends of my hair and seeing my self wearing all black is really something new.
I put on some light make up, a deadly eyeliner and a pair of contact lense and done, I picked up my red hood and tied it safely over my neck before pulling the hood to cover my head.
"Whew, looking gorgeous ms. Hood" Annie giggled as I took my little basket from my desk.
"You look more ravishing, oh mitress of all evil" I qouted making her giggle as she tightened the belt on her exposed leg once more before grabing her staff that is made by her older brother- Xielo.
She didn't wear any body paint but she totally pulled the outfit off. When we were done, we met up with the others in front of the building before heading towards ball room.
The same thing welcomed us, loud music, people everywhere and a grand buffet for everyone to enjoy, the only difference was it's halloween themed.
"This is amazing" Liz commented.
"Good grief, no one's wearing the same costume as me" Sam flipped her white braided wig off her shoulder and fixed her dress.
"Come on you guys, it's almost starting" Sofia- wearing a black widow costume- called us over.
We followed her lead and sat in a long table where the other ladies are. I thought girls changes too long than boys does? Why are we here first and there's no sign of any boys from the Core Society has shown up ever since we got here, weird.
A few moments later, Ashlyn gave up on waiting and decided to start the party by giving a speech, after she walked down the stage, the music once again started and I rose from my seat to get some drinks on the buffet table.
I took a glass of red wine and a cherry, as i was about to take a bite on it when it disappeared on someone's mouth, I glared at him.
"You're late" I commented and took another cherry to eat.
"The guys took a little detour on the way here" he explained their side.
"'A little' you say?" I questioned and look at his full figure, I grinned.
"It's a secret for you ladies" he leaned down and I kissed his cheek.
"You look cute" I giggled while ruffling his wolf ears.
"Well I'm planning to be Edward Collin this year but since you're ms. Riding hood, so I ditched him to Jacob- at least, he's also a wereworlf" he proudly said and I just smiled at him.
"Zen pulled Victor from the corpse bride way too off" he suddenly said while pointing at Liz and Zen laughing on the side.
"And Pierce?" I asked him.
"The one and only Lucifer, the d*mon prince" he gestured towards him, I took a sip on my wine before nodding my head.
"Icer really took the main ship for Elsa huh?" I laughed when he actually gelled his hair on white to get Jack Frost's look.
"Of course" he smiled and pulled my waist.
"It's the first time to see you in all black, minus the hood" he complimented.
"Looks good noh?" I jokingly said.
"You look gorgeously hot" he flirted and I rolled my eyes as he let go of me.
After I finished my drink, he accompanied to the others and we started showing off who got the best costume for the night, and obviously that didn't go so well since everyone (especially the boys) starts flexing their costumes.
"Everyone shut up, Kianna's the winner" Thea snapped and we all turned to her.
She shyly stood up from her seat but immediately hid behind their leader's back while Thea let out a victorious laugh, for sure this girl was traumatized on what Thea did to her.
"Holy f*ck!"
"Whew Kia..."
"S-h*t...!"
"I have s*nned"
Lucas, Kyle, June, and Brei covered their noses to stop it from bleeding, the rest of the 6th Cards collapsed unciously on the floor, the rest of the remaining guys are blushing hard and trying their best to stand tall but the girls are really inlove with Kianna.
"Thea made me wear this" she softly mumbled.
She's wearing a black heart shaped tube with a very short skirt, some net stockings, heels with bunny ears and tail, what made her look even more stunning was the black choker over her neck that is literally exposed because her hair is tied up into a high ponytail.
My face darkened. "Ace, look away or I'll snatch your eyeballs off your face" I coldly said, startling almost everyone on our circle.
"Thea..." the rest of the girls growled at her.
"Ehehe...?"
