Chapter 27

The next day is Halloween, and I’ve made my decision about the party.

“You …” Miranda stares at me, dressed in the red bodycon dress, red Prada heels, horns, and clip-on tail. I’ve even done my makeup, putting on a smoky cat eye and vibrant lips. Red glitter adorns both cheeks, and I’ve taken a razor to what was left of my hair. It’s now gelled up into a stylish but soft crest down the middle, gentle waves curving around my ears. “Look so freaking hot.” She clamps her mouth closed and just stares at me like she’s never seen me before.

I’m still fuming, but I’m also going stir crazy. Creeping around the halls and hiding in my room isn’t doing it for me.

I smile.

“So do you.” I gesture at Miranda’s tight, pink dress and coiffed blonde hair. Her makeup is flawless, long white gloves on her arms, gold rings glittering on her fingers. I haven’t completely forgotten that I was dr****d at some point on Thursday, but I also don’t think I can survive Burberry Prep wit
