Chapter 16, Halloween Party
Are you ever so bored, you start playing with games you don't even like?
All these days have been passing by super fast, today was the Halloween dance and I was overexcited.
Once school finished, Xiomara and I ran over to my house so we can get ready together, it was very exciting.
"Im very excited, do you think Jaysean's gonna be there?"
Xiomara asked as she put on her girl scout skirt, I looked at her and chuckled before nodding my head.
I put on my girl scout shirt and buttoned it up before we sat down on my bed to do our nails, we wanted to paint them a different color.
"So, how do you feel now that you and Jaden are on a break?"
She asked another question, I looked at her and sighed.
I didn't know what I wanted to say, I wasn't happy because I was without him but I wasn't exactly upset I was without him either.
"Scar, you don't have to be away from him if you don't want to."
I nodded at the words and stood up, I walked over to my vanity and did my hair.
Xiomara walked over to me and rubbed my back, I looked at her and smiled softly.
"Let's go get something to eat and then we should head to the dance, remember, don't think about anything other than yourself."
Xiomara said, I nodded and grabbed my phone.
We walked downstairs and left the house, we were headed to a diner to get something to eat but I wasn't hungry at all.
Once we got there, we took a booth and sat down quietly.
Xiomara had been texting Jaysean while I was staring at old photos of Jaden and I, that's when I got a notification from Instagram.

Oh lord, what if he posts him and Meredith together?
I wondered to myself as I clicked the notification, but I was wrong.
Really, really wrong.

"Leave it to Jaden to play my favorite song."
I informed Xiomara as we left the diner, she looked at me and laughed.
We arrived to the school and there was a lot of people, different costumes and different smells clashing together.
"Go find Jaysean, I'm gonna go get some punch."
I told Xiomara, before she had the chance to tell me no, I was already by the punch bowl.
I grabbed a cup and poured some punch when I felt hands wrap around my waist, I sighed and turned around.
"Oh, Layla hi!"
I smiled at the presence of my best friend, I hugged her tightly as she laughed at me.
I had told her about the break so she understood my relief, we spoke a little bit before Javon took her away.
I was standing by the snack table, taking bites from a chocolate chip cookie when I watched the doors to the gym open.
Meredith and Jaden walk in, they weren't wearing matching costumes so I was pretty relaxed about it.
Jaden was about to approach me when 'Toothbrush by DNCE started playing, I was pulled to the dance floor by Xiomara, Javon, Layla and Jaysean.
This was a song we always played whenever we were on FaceTime together, we were singing along as we jumped around.
"BABY, WE DON'T HAVE TO RUSH! YOU CAN LEAVE YOUR TOOTHBRUSH AT MY PLACE, AT MY PLACE!"
We screamed in unison, laughing as we nearly fell on one another.
Xiomara, Layla and I were pointing at each other while screaming the lyrics like lunatics.
"I'm gonna grab us some water!"

I shouted over the loud music that was playing, everhone nodded as I turned my heel and walked to the drink table.
I grabbed five water bottles, as I turned around I was faced with the chest of Jaden.
"Can I get a box of girl scout cookies?"
He joked, I chuckled and smiled at him.
Even when we're on a break he managed to place a smile on my face, I hated it but love it at the same time.
"That'll be about ten dollars sir."
I went along with the joke, he grabbed the waters from my hand and placed them on the table as he got closer.
"I don't exactly have money on me."
He responded, I smiled and as he leaned down to kiss me, I swerved and grabbed the waters from the table.
Jaden looked at me with a jaw drop, I smiled at him and blew him a kiss before returning to my friends.
Are you ever so bored, you start playing with games you don't like?
Jaysean asked as we took a seat at an empty table in the back, we all nodded in agreement.
I made sure I sat beside Layla so that Jaysean had no other choice but to sit beside Xiomara, I want them to be together.
"Meredith looks like a witch."
Layla glared at the girl dancing around with Jaden, I laughed at the comment and took a sip from my water.
"She's gonna grow warts."
Xiomara added and then did a witch cackle, I spat out my water and started choking as I began to laugh.
Everyone began to laugh as we continued making witch jokes, this was the best moments of my life and I'll cherish them forever.
"This break better end soon, Jaden seems like he just wants nothing more than to hold you again.
Javon commented as he looked at his twin brother who was looking over at us, I nodded and continued to drink my water.
I wasn't about to give in because he missed me, don't get me wrong, I miss him too but he has to learn what he did.
You can't just be friends with an incredibly pretty ex and then expect your girlfriend to be okay with it, it's just something you don't sprung up on someone.
It's just something you don't do without discussing it first, or is that too toxic?
Am I toxic?
I thought to myself as the music drowned out the rest of my thoughts.

Silhouette
WARNING: THIS STORY HAS A SLOW START. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. We all grew up hearing stories about heroes and villains, but what would we do if we were to be part of one? One night, a bioweapon escaped from its laboratory in Zalcien, only to die in a dark alley. One night, a young man lent a helping hand, only to die alone in the dark. One night, a deity of death saw two lost souls and offered one a second chance in the other's body. Now a strange creature made of darkness, James has to deal with his new form in a strange new world where superpowers, heroes and villains are commonplace, far away from his home. Watch as he learns how to use his powers, as he meets allies and enemies and how, when facing the paths of heroism and villainy, he chooses a third way somewhere in between. Follow the story of James, a lost Earthling soul, as he becomes Silhouette, the mysterious power in the shadows. Greetings fellow humans. This is my first story on Royal Road and my first long-term project written in English, so I do hope you will have some mercy in your heart when reading. So, as you may have understood, this is a story with super-heroes - which is quite ironic for my first story considering all of the other ones planned are fantasy - and as such will take place in a modern-like setting. Despite dark themes and gory scenes making their way into the story, it is still a super-hero world with the logic that matches, so expect characters to survive nuclear explosions without a scratch and yet to get defeated by a rubber ducky - as well as similar dark humor, thus the comedy part.

It was not the apocalypse anyone expected. They called it the Changes. (Which might sound boring, though it was no such thing!) During this time, reality itself was suspended. Anything could happen, and often did. Who could have anticipated flying turtles, lighter than air futons, the appearance of the color slurkle, or the eradication of differential calculus? After a year and a half of such wonders, it all stopped. The world was not the same, nor the people in it. Why had it happened and how did it end? Would it return? No one knew. Silverio Moreno, irrepressibly optimistic host of one of the most popular post-apocalyptic gameshows, wants answers. And the truth might just bring in his highest ratings yet!
