I've Got A Secret
TrickOrTreat
Chapter 19
Veronica’s POV
It has been a month or so since Zayn and I have been official. However my parents aren’t very fond of my relationship. They see him as a bad influence on my education. But, school is great; I still have A’s in every class, failed some test here and there, but they haven’t affected my grades at all. I don’t ditch anymore because the school eventually calls my home phone, and it doesn’t go well from there.
Throughout this month I think the principal, well Zayn’smom, has called me up at least three times to discuss my grades and progress. She is always trying to find something to use against me, but luckily all she found was unexcused absences on my record.
It didn’t take long for the whole school to find out that Zayn and I were official; it spread really fast. And our relationship was growing, even though we had no idea on how to be a couple. I can say that my feelings for Zayn have developed through time; however I still haven’t told him the L word. You know! LOVE.If ‘I love you’ comes out from Zayn’s mouth; I don’t know what I’ll say back.
*TWO MONTHS LATER
“So guess what’s happening tomorrow?!” Zayn decided to come over after school because he needed “help” on his English homework. We have been hanging out a lot, more than usual I guess. But, it’s nice having him around.
“What?” His dark hues were glued to his laptop screen and his fingers were busy typing his 2,000 word essay that was due in two days.
“HALLOWEEN!”I nearly yelled to show my excitement.
“I don’t celebrate that…”
“Really?It’s fun”I replied, patting his soft hair.
“How is it fun?” He closed his laptop, turning his body to face me.
“Well, you can dress up and give out candy” One of his eye brows rose as he laughed.
“Are you trying to persuade me into something I don’t want to do?” His large hands found my lower back and then began moving his fingers up my spine in a spidery motion.
“I’m not persuading you, I’m telling you that we are taking out my little brother to trick-or-treat!”His hands stopped and let out a small grunt.
“And we have to dress up! I already told my brother we are going dressed. Come on it will be fun I promise!”
“Fine! But, I’m picking the costumes not you” He grabbed his laptop and laid it on my bed then put on his leather jacket.
“Where are you going?”
“Babe, we need costumes remember?” he said with a smirk on his face, clearly enjoying my short memory.
I told my dad we were going to Party City for our costumes and with that, Zayn and I made our way to his car.
“Since we’re buying costumes, might as well wear them to school no?” I had some hope in me that Zayn was going to agree. I mean, c’mon dressing up is awesome! Instead, I received a glare but instead of taking him seriously, I started to laugh. His bad boy image was quite funny to me now.
Once we were inside the store, Zayn started to say what costumes he thought were good and which sucked. “How about I dress as a football star and you the cheerleader?” he has no imagination!
“Um Zayn that’s not so creative. Look! Zombies!” though zombies scared me, I preferred them than a cheerleader outfit.
“Oh babe look,lets be cops. I would love to see you in this” he said as he lifted up a black dress that looked like it could be a shirt.
“Uh how about super heroes? Superman?” I tried to get him out of the smutty costume isle but he wouldn’t cope.
“I’m picking the costumes, remember?”
“Oh yeah, right. Well get to it cutie. So far your picks suck”
For the next 30 minutes, Zayn searched the entire store for the ‘perfect’ costumes. He came upon a variety of dirty ones, but once I reminded him about David, he put them back on their racks.
“Veronica I think I’ve found them… look I think these are it” he sounded pretty happy about the costumes he found and once I turned to see them, I couldn’t help but laugh. He was holding two costumes in the air and they were part of the Scooby Doo clan. In his hands were the costumes of Fred and Daphne.
“Oh awesome! They even have wigs! Okay I have to admit, you’ve done a pretty good job babe” I tried to sound proud but I kept giggling.
“I don’t care if you’re being sarcastic… we’re wearing these” he said quite proudly. After we tried them on, Zayn paid for them and we were on our way out. Before we got to the entrance, I saw a head of curly hair I’d recognize anywhere. It was Harry and a blonde was standing next to him while both were looking at costumes. The blonde turned around, that’s when I noticed it was Glimmer, and she waved and yelled out a “hi guys” at our direction. I quickly yelled hi back and waved at both Harry and Glimmer because apparently Zayn was in a rush to get out of the store and was nearly dragging me out.
Once we were in the car, I asked “Why did you drag me out of there? You didn’t see Glimmer or Harry waving at us?”
“I did see them, I just… I need to pee that’s all” I thought it was weird because we hadn’t seen Harry regularly and I missed him, I assumed Zayn missed him as well but after that scene I guessed not.
*The next day
“I’m so excited I think I might explode!!” yelled David as he ran upstairs to ‘finally’ put on his Thor costume.
I was pretty excited as well. I’m not going to lie, I wanted candy for the most part. This brought back a ton of memories of going trick-or-treating with my parents or friends in my old high school. We always had a sleepover afterwards too.
“I suppose your costume is pretty comical if you ask me Veronica” I turned and saw Harry leaning on my front door that I didn’t close when I walked in with David.
“Oh well yeah it is pretty funny but I like it… are you dressing up as well?”
“I was thinking of a cat… but that’s kind of fruity so I decided not to”
“A cat? Harry, a cat?” we both started to laugh at the ridiculousness of his costume choice. Once our laughter died down, I asked “So what brings you here today? If you want candy, I have none sorry!”
“That’s exactly why I came here… guess I’d be heading home”
I laughed when I saw the disappointment spread across Harry’s face, “better luck next time cat boy!”
“I’ll remember that… sourpuss” he said with a smile on his face as he walked towards his car. That name was what he called me on our first date, a flood of memories rushed back to my mind that made me smile.
I made my way upstairs to get into my costume before Zayn came over. My parents agreed to let me take David trick-or-treating with him. I think they are easing up, which is great. I went inside my room with costume in hand and began to work on my hair. Luckily, the costume came with a wig so all I had to do was put my hair up.
After I finished my hair, I got dressed and moved on to my makeup. Since Daphne’s character doesn’t wear a lot of makeup, I finished within minutes. I just put on some fake eyelashes, eye liner, some blush, and lip stick.
“The dress looks amazing on you” I didn’t have time to register who it was because the male quickly made their way to me and snaked his arms around my waist. Then I noticed it was Zayn, phew.
“Hi baby” he whispered and kissed my cheek.
I turned my head towards his and managed to whisper hi until his lips were on mine. I turned my body around and moved my hands to his neck while his remained on my waist.
“You don’t look so bad either Fred” I whispered on his lips which to he replied with a smile and a peck on my lips.
We pulled away just in time because David then raced into my room.
“Are you guys ready?! Cause I am!!”
Zayn and I both smiled and nodded. The sun was about to set so it was a great time to begin trick-or-treating. After we said our goodbyes to my parents, we started walking.
A couple of hours later, Zayn started to complain about his feet hurting and ‘why couldn’t I just buy David candy instead of walking for so long’. His complains were hilarious so I purposely made him walk more. But I got tired as well and it was about to be ten, so I decided we should head back home.
We got home and David began devouring his candy. We both came home with a bag load of candy.
“I’ll see you later Veronica, sweet dreams” said Zayn. He gave me a kiss on my forehead and began to turn around when he abruptly turned to face me again, “tonight went better than what I expected… thank you babe”
“I told you it was going to be fun. Goodnight Zayn” I replied with a smile and went inside my house.
