Chapter Twelve

Seeing Lucia’s bruised eye the next few days angered Jack. He especially didn’t like that Rachel was still in school, but he made sure to keep an eye on her. With Lucia’s parents at home, she’d also not been able to get away, nor had they been able to find a couple of spare minutes just to talk.

He missed her.

Staring at his reflection in the mirror, he was more than ready to play chaperone to the school. His hair was a mess, makeup on his face, and his clothes were torn with fake blood at some of the tears.

He hated Halloween. People dressing up bored him, and as he arrived at the school, he wasn’t impressed. The cafeteria and several of the classrooms had been decorated for the party. Several cars were already parked, and he wasn’t interested. As he entered the main hallway, music blasted all around, and he went straight to the main gym where the dance was already in full swing.

“Hey, Jack,” Beth said.

She hadn’t been as much of a pest since he’d called her out on her bullshit. This thing with Connor and Rachel had really pushed his limits of acceptance right now.

He was more than aware of power-hungry parents after growing up with a couple himself.

“Hey,” he said.

“They did such a bang-up job of this. It’s amazing.”

Glancing across the hall, he saw several seniors already spiking the punch. He was about to head over there when a figure in white caught his attention.

Lucia stood at the entrance looking like an angel. Her friend, Marie, was dressed as the devil. The dress Lucia wore was more revealing than anything he’d ever seen her in. The skirt of the dress was tight to her thighs, going to her knee, but it was good, and droplets of blood coated the bottom, fake blood obviously.

Her hair cascaded in ringlets down her body, and her face had makeup on as well. She hadn’t covered up the bruise, but it only helped emphasize the outfit. She looked like a fallen angel.

She didn’t need the makeup. To Jack, she always looked beautiful.

Beth had already left, and as Marie made her way toward the drinks, Lucia walked toward him.

“Hey, Mr. Zombie Teacher,” she said.

“Not too bad, fallen angel.”

She smiled. “All that was left at the store was dirty maid, or something else. This seemed pretty cool, but right now I’m not so sure.”

“You look beautiful.”

“Thank you,” she said. “I’ve missed you.”

“I’ve missed you, too. How are things with your parents?”

“They’re … okay, I guess. Not a lot to say really. We’re working through everything if you can call it that. I’ve been wanting to get over to see you, but they’ve been everywhere. Mom has even dropped me off at school.”

“Nothing has happened between you and Rachel?” he asked.

“No. Nothing. My parents had a sit-down with hers, and they told me not to worry by the end of it, so…”

“Hey, Mr. Parker,” Marie said, letting her presence be known.

He forced a smile. “Marie, lovely to see you.
