Chapter 16

Halloween Highs

THE NEXT DAY River Kennedy didn't show up to school, which was odd considering he was never even late. Our friends kept asking me where he was like I'd know the answer, even Monsieur Ettiene asked me. And I gave them the exact same answer, I don't know I don't know I don't fucking know. Because I didn't and we weren't exactly on speaking terms since everything that happened the day before.

I wanted him to know that he couldn't treat me like that, like I was an option on a menu he could pick and choose when he wanted whenever he wanted. Sometimes I wondered what it'd be like to take a trip into his mind, to see the world the way he does, to understand what only he understands, to just know for sure what he felt for me. That's if he felt anything for me, well, that I wasn't so sure of anymore.

I mean there I was standing in the doorway of Victoria's party on Halloween night while everyone else was drunk off their asses and playing a not-so-appropriate version of trick or treat in the foyer. I looked up at the security camera, I looked pretty and felt even prettier. I managed to find this mint-condition Guardian Angel costume with Fabian at a thrift store downtown. I had glitter in places glitter shouldn't be and my wings were starting to feel awfully heavy.

"I see a certain little bird grew some wings? Glad you made it." Victoria's voice threw me out of my trance and she looked absolutely breathtaking in her sexy kitten costume, which had an awful lot of lace and faux fur. "But don't stand outside and mope you're getting all your emotions on my patio."

"Sorry, I just have a lot on my mind." I smiled apologetically and her expression turned more understanding than playful.

"You've got it bad for this one hm?" She realized placing a hand on my shoulder before digging in her purse for some lip gloss before applying it on her lips and then kissing me so it rubs off on me.

"Put your lips together."

I smoothed the lipgloss onto my own lips and automatically felt ten times more confident than I actually was.

"Thanks," I said as she fluffed up my white wings to give them more poofyness.

"Don't worry about it." She acknowledged then proceeded to look over her shoulder at the party raging behind her, "Now rumour has it there are two angels at this party and they are destined to collide tonight."

"What do you mean?" I asked but she was already going back inside and heading straight to the bar,

Just then my eye met that of another angel across the room, he was wearing all black and even his wings were tinted obsidian. Dark as night. I wondered if he'd copied my costume, but there was little to no chance of that, he couldn't have known. He had glittery tears painted on his flawlessly sculpted porcelain face, hues of silver, purple, blue, and gold.
