Chapter 21: Happy Halloween Pt 1
**Sang**
When I woke up the next morning, Kayli was in her bed with the covers drawn up over her face. I looked over to the window and noticed the curtains were open. She didn't have to get up for class for a couple more hours, so I got up and closed them. After showering, washing my hair, and getting dressed in my Meanie approved outfit, I grabbed my book bag and a cup of yogurt and headed to English.
I'm anxious to see the others outfits. All I've been told is that we are all characters from X-Men. I don't know who is supposed to be who, so on my walk to class I look up the group of characters. During my research, I've learned that my character is Jean Grey, a telepath. I've also learned that she has a love interest by the name of Scott Summers, AKA Cyclops; he can shoot lasers out of his eyes and wears these cool looking shades. I wonder who Gabriel chose for him.
When I get to my class, I noticed that I arrived before Kota, which means that I had a front row seat when he walked in. Personally, Kota looks pretty normal to me, albeit a little more dressed up. He has on a black button up under a grey v-neck sweater, with black dress pants and dress shoes, with no glasses. He should wear contacts more often. I'm not really sure who he's supposed to be, but I know that he's not Scott Summers. After English I grab a Mocha Frap from the Starbucks café on campus before heading to Japanese.
When I walk into class, I see that I'm the first of my friends to arrive, as usual. I take my seat by the window and bring out my notebook while I wait. 5 minutes before class starts, Kayli, Marc and Corey walk in. They look as they usually do as they take their seats.
"Nice to see you're alive." I quip to Kayli as she sits behind me.
"I know, I'm sorry. But I'm here now, alive and well. Now can you tell me who I'm supposed to be tonight? And while you're at it, who are you? Marc said that you and the boys would be toned down versions of your characters before the party, but never said who was who." She tells me while glaring at Marc for the last part.
"Sorry Bambi, but Gabe would skin me alive if I spoiled his surprise. He doesn't want Sang to know until she sees them." He glances at me apologetically.
"It's ok Marc. I've only seen Kota so far but I'm not really sure who he is." I tell him.
"Well Good Morning Miss Grey." I hear Dr. Sean say.
As I turn to look at him, I notice that his usual flirty smile is in place while wearing...a suit? A blue suit. I look down and notice red converse on his feet. Who exactly is he supposed to be?
"Nice outfit Doc." Corey comments. "I'm sure Kota's fuming over not getting to be him."
"Well," Sean drags out, "I can honestly say that I'm a doctor." He says with a wink at me.
"So Dr. Sean? Who exactly are you supposed to be?" I ask him.
"Yeah med boy, spill the secret." Kayli chimes in.
"Well I'm the Doctor of course." He replies with a cheeky grin.
"Doctor who?" I ask him, which causes Corey to laugh for some unknown reason.
"Exactly." Is his reply.
I'm soooo lost. Thankfully the door opens and in walks a new student. It's a little late in the year for a new student.
"Alright everyone, take your seats." Professor Bell states. "That means you as well Mr. Morgan."
"Victor?" I whisper in awe.
"Hey Princess." Victor says with a cool smile.
I'm shell shocked. Victor is wearing a yellow t-shirt with a blue sweater and tan slacks and brown dress shoes. What really shocked me though, are the black shades with a red tint in the lenses and his wavy brown hair parted down the middle. I've found my Scott Summers.
After Professor Bell goes over a few Japanese customs, she instructs us to pair up and talk to each other in Japanese. Everyone gets together in groups of three, while Dr. Sean joins myself and Victor.
"Dakara misugurē, watashi wa anata ga ima, anata no pātonā ga daredearu ka ni yotte shitte iru to kakushin shite imasu. (So Miss Grey, I'm sure you know by now who your partner is.)" Sean says with his famous flirty smile.
"Mā, mochiron watashi ga yarimasu. (Well of course I do.)" I respond with a giggle. "Kare wa watashi no bōifurendodesu. (He's my boyfriend.)" I blush as memories of our kiss wash over me.
My God! My first kiss. And from Victor no less. It was absolutely amazing. His lips were so soft, his hands holding onto me. Like he never wanted to let go.
"Actually Princess, they never actually get together in the show." Victor tells me while blushing.
Probably because I inadvertently called him my boyfriend. I wonder how he feels about that. I mean, he did kiss me. It can't be such a foreign concept if he kissed me. Right?
"But they are together in the movies." Corey comments with a grin.
"They are, aren't they Corey?" Kayli says with a grin on her face.
"But of course there's always Wolverine." Sean says with a chuckle. "I do suspect that he won't let you have her so easily 'Scott'."
"Who's Wolverine?" I ask them. "Out of us, I mean."
"Now Pumpkin," Dr. Sean pouts, "that would ruin the fun." He finishes with a wink.
"Don't worry Princess, I'm sure you'll find out soon enough."
After class is over, Victor invites me to lunch with him and a few of the guys. On the way out, Dr. Sean stops me.
"Hey Pookie, are you ready for the party tonight?" He asks me.
"Pookie?" I ask him, completely bypassing his question.
"Yea, it's cute. Just like you."
"I bet you say that to all the girls." I say giggling.
"I guess I used to, not so much anymore."
"Oh? And why it that?"
"It would seem that a certain little green eyed bird has caught my attention."
"Oh really? And do you have hers?"
"Not sure, she seems to have a lot of male attention lately."
"Her loss I suppose. I gotta go, see you tonight Dr. Sean."
"Yes you will Ms. Grey. You certainly will." He tells me with his panty dropping smile.
"Ready to go Princess?" Victor asks me.
"Let's go." I tell him with a smile.
We meet up with Kota and Gabriel out on the quad.
"Oy! Hurry up, I'm fucking starving." Gabriel calls out.
"Nice to see you too Meanie." I tell him giggling. Man I'm doing a lot of that lately. He's wearing a blue and grey short sleeve t-shirt with tan slacks. Not his usual choice in clothes, but he still makes them look good. I have absolutely no idea who he is supposed to be though. "Now will you tell me who you two are?"
Kota and Gabriel share a look, almost like they are communicating with their eyes. They must come to a decision while I stand there confused. I don't think I like their eye speak.
"Professor Charles Xavier at your service Miss Grey." Kota says with a smile and a slight bow.
"Charmed I'm sure." I reply.
"Bobby Drake. Now can we please go get some fucking food." Gabriel wines.
I'll have to look up this Bobby Drake person, but we let it go and walk over to Victor's car. We all get in and head to a pizza shop in town. We get a large pepperoni pie to share and sit down at one of the tables by the window.
"So Trouble, when we get back to campus I want you to come back to the house with us so I can do your hair while the guys set up for the party."
"What are you doing with my hair Meanie?"
"I'm gonna put in a temporary dye so you can look the part more. Only in these circumstances will I allow you to change your hair color so don't get used to it."
"Ok Meanie, whatever you say."
When we get back on campus, Victor drives up to the Academy house and drops off Meanie and myself, before going back to the dorms to get the guys clothes so they can change at the house. Gabriel will come to my dorm room later tonight to do Kayli's and my hair and makeup.
Meanie sets us up in the downstairs bathroom and immediately starts pulling things out of his bag. On the counter, he places the hair dye, a brush and comb, a blow dryer, and conditioner. I stay silent as he parts my hair four ways and then places the dye in my hair, going from root to tip, making sure he gets every strand possible. Once all four parts have been equally dyed and secured with hair clips, Gabriel sets a timer on his phone for 30 minutes.
"So Trouble, what do you want to do now?"
The answer is taken away from me as I hear pounding on the door followed by a deep bellow.
"Whoever's in there better hurry the fuck up. We're not gonna pick up your slack for setup just because you have bad bowels."
This sends me into a fit of giggles while Gabriel turns red.
"Oy, fuckface! I'm doing hair in here!" Gabriel shouts as he opens the door and comes face to face with my grumpy teddy bear himself.
"The fuck are you doing to Sang Baby's hair?" He asks while walking into the bathroom.
"I'm making her look like her character you grumpy fuck. And where the fuck are your sideburns?" Gabriel replies hotly.
"They fucking itch, I'm not putting those shits back on until I need to." North replies.
"*grunt* Fine, as long as you don't fuck it up."
I take this opportunity to look at North's outfit. Judging from the sideburns comment I'm gonna assume he's Wolverine. He's actually probably the only one who can pull off being a grump all the time. And before you ask, yes I did some more research after hearing that we would in fact be having Wolverine in our group. North is wearing a tight dark blue short sleeved t-shirt that shows off the hard planes of his chest, abs and arms. Examining him further, I see blue jeans and tan timberland boots on his feet. Very woodcutter esk clothing. I approve, although I'm sure every girl at the party will approve just as much, if not more so. But how many of those girls can say they slept in his bed? No, bad Sang. You just kissed Victor last night, you can't be thinking like that. Right? This is so confusing, let's not think about it.
"So North, I'm guessing you're my Wolverine."
My eyes bulge as soon as the words leave my mouth. Oh God! Where is my brain to mouth filter? I'm getting to be almost as bad as Kayli. Thankfully North and Gabriel just laugh it off, crisis averted.
"Yeah Sang Baby, I'm Logan. But you'll see Wolverine tonight. As for being yours, we can discuss that at a later date." He tells me with a wink.
Oh my God! Did North just make a joke? And wink!? Is the world coming to an end? First a kiss from Victor, now a flirty North? That's it, I'm in the twilight zone. They do say that Halloween makes people crazy.
I'm broken out of my musing when I hear Gabriel laugh and say "Oy North! You fucking broke her. Don't worry Trouble, you don't have to be his anything. Victor, I mean Scott should be here soon."
"Are we seriously going to call each other by our character names all night Meanie?" I ask him.
"Of course Trouble, it's all in the lovely spirit of Halloween."
"I'm surprised my idiot brother hasn't pulled any of his usual tricks yet." North comments.
"Speak for yourself," Meanie grumbles, "I woke up to 100 toy spiders on our floor this morning."
"Oh so that's the screaming I heard. I thought for sure one of the girls slipped and fell in the shower." Marc says while laughing, as he passes by the open door.
"Oy!" Gabriel calls out, "Fuck you. You try waking up to those devils all over your floor first thing in the morning. It's madness I tell you!"
"Yea, well you call the idiot your best friend." North smirks.
"Fuck off, what are you doing in here anyway?" Gabriel asks.
"Owen and Axel wanted me to see who was hiding out in the bathroom not putting in work."
"Does it look like I'm not fucking working to you? This genius takes time to create."
"Hey, are you calling me ugly?" I quip teasingly.
"Trouble hush, you're fucking gorgeous. Tell Owen and Axel that if they want my help they'll have to wait until I'm done here, otherwise shove off." Gabriel says as he closes the door and flips the lock.
"Meanie, that wasn't very nice." I tell him with a glare.
"Him disrupting my work isn't nice." Meanie mumbles just as his phone chimes, letting him know that the 30 minutes are up.
Wow, that was fast. Gabriel has me stand in front of the sink and with magic fingers washes out the dye, leaving red water going down the drain. His hands on my scalp feel amazing. Seriously, if this is what he meant by my hair being his, I will gladly give it over to him. I have to stop myself from moaning out loud on numerous occasions, knowing that could end up in a bad situation for the both of us. After he finishes washing and conditioning my hair, he takes a black towel off the rack and wraps it around my head.
"Here, dry it a little but not too much, we don't want it to get tangled." He says while plugging in the blow dryer. After I have successfully wrung the water out of my hair, Gabriel has me sit on the toilet seat again and begins to dry my hair while combing out the tangles. Once he's satisfied with the results, he dismisses me back to my dorm with strict instructions to shower with a hair cap and not to get dressed until an hour and a half before the party. He says that he'll be there an hour before to do our hair and makeup, while in his full costume so that we can all leave together.
When I get back to my room, I see Kayli lounging on her bed doing something on her laptop, looks like she's finishing up some last minute work before the party. I do a little happy dance in my head for thinking ahead and getting all of my work done over the weekend. Anything that is due tomorrow has already been done and submitted. I grab my shower pack and tell Kayli that she should shower before Gabriel gets here, which will be an hour before the party. She tells me that she'll take hers after I get back. Once I finish with my shower, I change into some loose shorts and a tank top and load up my laptop to watch a few episodes of Sons of Anarchy, I'm seriously hooked.
While waiting for the time to pass by, the guys that I haven't seen today send me pictures of them in their day outfits, as per Gabriel's request (demand). Silas is wearing a red long sleeved sweater, with blue jeans, black boots and a tan trench coat. He tells me that he's Angel and he can't wait for me to see him in the full costume tonight. Nathan introduces himself as Professor McCoy, AKA the beast. He's wearing a red athletic shirt with tan pants. And finally, Luke sends me several selfies of him making silly faces in compromising positions before sending me his full body shot of him in a red v-neck long sleeved t-shirt with dark green pants and an open beige short sleeved button up. He's Nightcrawler.
A half hour before Gabriel is supposed to arrive I get off my bed and go into my closet to grab mine and Kayli's costume. I toss hers onto her bed with a sly smile.
She takes a look at it and says, "Seriously? I get the witch? I don't know whether to be offended or thankful."
"Be thankful, he originally wanted you to be the ice witch."
She finally takes a good look at me and notices my hair.
"Whoa, who are you and what have you done to my favorite blonde?"
"What? You don't like the red?"
"I love it. It makes you look edgy."
"Is Jean Grey supposed to be edgy?"
"No, but Sang Sorenson makes Jean Grey look like plain Jane."
"Uh thanks, I think."
"Wonder how your Scott's gonna like the new you." She says with a grin.
"It's temporary so it doesn't matter. Now hush up and get dressed." I tell her as I push down a blush from hearing Victor's character.
I take off my lounge clothes and quickly take the costume out of my bag. I have to wear a thong so that I won't have panty lines in my outfit. I thank the heavens that it's my last day, which means I won't have to change my tampon as often. I pull on the black and green body suit, which thankfully doesn't come with the headpiece, so it stops right above my collarbone. There are no pockets, so I slip my phone into my bra and put on the key necklace so I'll be able to get in the room tonight. I go back into my closet and grab my black knee high boot with the wedge heel and slip them on.
Once I'm dressed, I look over at Kayli to see that she has pulled on her red jumper/corset, which hugs her curves, and she's pulling on her black calf high boots with the buckles.
"So, do you know who your boys are?" I ask her while sitting back on my bed.
"Nope, I'll have to find out tonight. Any idea what fashion boy is gonna do with us?"
Just as I'm about to answer there's a knock on the door. Let the fun begin.
Gabriel comes in and styles our hair to perfection, putting some red chalk streaks in Kayli's hair. He does our makeup light and then goes into my closet to change into his costume. He comes back out wearing a dark blue x-men suit with the shoulder pads and everything.
"AlrightTrouble, let's go before your fanboys rip me to shreds for stealing you for solong."
Let the party begin!
**For those wondering who Kayli is, she's the Scarlet Which, AKA Wanda Maximoff (Pietro's, AKA Quicksilver's, sister).**
