Chapter Eleven
Friday
Autumn had officially claimed the region. Foliage on every road was changing hue, decorating streets with brilliant oranges, yellows, and reds. Championships were quickly approaching for fall sports, too, which also meant that Chloeâs new, hectic basketball schedule was about to begin. An F. Scott Fitzgerald quote stuck with her, âLife starts all over again when it gets crisp in the fall.â That was certainly how she was feeling. With her routine at school falling into place, she was excited to figure out how to incorporate coaching into the equation.
Taylor, on the other hand, was excitedly reminding everyone about the return of her and Anneâs annual Halloween blowout. Apparently, the party had been postponed last year due to renovation conflicts and this year was going to be even bigger and better to compensate for that.
Chloe doubted that any gathering organized by Taylor would be boring, basing that purely on her magnetic personality and the dynamic group of people she surrounded herself with. Her primary worry now was acquiring a costume. Taylor had been reminding everyone since early October to find one, but Chloe had procrastinated. It was now crunch time.
Chloe dialed Hannah, not even letting her answer before bursting out, âI need your help.â
âShocking. What is it this time?â Hannah replied. Chloe expected to catch some grief from her; it was her way of keeping Chloe on her toes. It was also her way of conveying that she would do anything for Chloe, given some leeway to gripe about it.
âTaylor and Anne are having a Halloween party tomorrow and I have no clue what to be. Everyone from pickup and all the cool kids are going to be there.â
âAll the cool kids, huh? Well then, you need to be someone hot. Who are the hottest homos these days?â
âWhatever youâre imagining Iâm not wearing it.â Chloe knew she needed to slow Hannahâs roll before she got a full head of steam.
âFine, so youâre going to the party as something lame. Maybe the incredibly witty junior-year basketball stud costume?â
âCome off it. I was broke and you know I didnât want to go out. That was like the day after Iâd broken up with Abbey.â
âThat was a dark time for all of usâ¦â Hannah said somberly, just barely maintaining a serious tone.
âMove on. I did.â Hannahâs laughter filled the phone until Chloe continued, âNow what could I pull off?â She was desperate for ideas and Hannah was not helping in the slightest.
âWell, you could do a Kill Bill. Uma Thurman is tall. But a wig on you would definitely be scary. And you probs donât have one.â
âNow youâre getting it. Keep going. Who else could be convincing?â
âWell, if you want to play it safe, you could pull off a convincing surfer. You could always be Jake from State Farm. The sheer number of khakis in your closet would make that easy to pull off.â Chloe could hear the evil grin through the phone. âHold the phone, Iâve got it. Lance Bass! No, wait.
