Halloween I
"Sabrina?" asked Enid in a different tone than usual.
"I didn't say anything," said Luke, closing the notebook. When he wanted to stand up Enid's two hands stopped him. She grabbed him by both shoulders and with her strength wouldn't let him stand.
"Did Sabrina Jones tell you how much she weighs? Do you ask all the girls the same thing?" asked Enid with a scary smile.
"Listen to me, Enid. It's not what you think..." said Luke starting to explain to her how he ended up knowing Sabrina's weight. He didn't know why he was explaining so much to Enid, but he respected her strength and was trapped by her two delicate hands that had monstrous strength and nails that could transform into dangerous claws.
As Luke's explanation continued the strength in Enid's hands was diminishing, "I understand... She was the one who told you to train together. I'm sorry," said Enid with an innocent smile.
"It's okay," said Luke, rubbing his shoulders and looking strangely at Enid.
Enid had her aggressiveness perhaps because she was a werewolf. In the series they showed some scenes where she lost her temper. They always showed her brothers jumping up and down and acting crazy. She must have had some of that behavior.
'Are wolves territorial with their mate?' thought Luke hesitantly. He didn't know for sure. He thought this since he noticed Enid's romantic interest in him. He wasn't blind.
As for the habits of werewolves with their mate he had no idea. It was not a subject he had researched, nor was it a subject he cared to know.
As for him, he would be lying if he said he didn't feel a romantic interest in Enid. There was a reason he softened and treated her differently during this time, but it was hard for him to trust a person.
"Did I hurt you?" asked Enid worriedly as she saw Luke rubbing his shoulders.
"No. I just got them a little stiff. You control your strength well," replied Luke with a slight smile to reassure Enid.
A surprised expression formed on Enid's face. It was the first time she had seen Luke smile in a real way. He usually smiled mockingly or sarcastically.
'How cute!' thought Enid, blushing and trying to control her nerves. Luke grimaced slightly. He realized that he smiled genuinely, quickly got up, and started walking.
'I smiled...?' thought Luke, surprised at himself.
"Hey, wait for me!" said Enid, getting up and following Luke. She thought it was the perfect time to give her first kiss, but this stubborn boy got up and was gone in seconds.
'That's right. His defenses are getting lower and lower. Feel the power of youthful romance,' Edgar thought with a faint smile.
He was surprised at how tough Luke was. He spent over a month with a pretty girl training alone, and this one did nothing. It was very easy to tell that the girl was interested in him.
Normal teenagers in this situation would have been dating by now at the very least or would have kissed, but their great-great-grandson was very stubborn and was seriously into training.
"In a few days it's Halloween," commented Enid, catching up to Luke and walking beside him.
"Yeah, so?" asked Luke.
"There will be the party, remember?" asked Enid.
Luke remembered that these days, Enid enthusiastically told him about the costume party that would be held on the 31st for Halloween. As for him, he wasn't a fan of costume parties or any kind of party.
"Oh, yeah," Luke said and continued walking. He felt Enid's gaze on him. He knew what Enid wanted.
"Do you...want to go together?" asked Luke after several seconds.
"Yes, I'd love to!" replied Enid with a big smile and increased joy.
"I already have several costumes in mind. We'll look cool, I mean scary. I have to go to my room to take care of the costumes. Keep an eye on your cell phone. I'll send you the costumes so you can pick the one you like best. See you," Enid said at incredible speed and disappeared quickly.
"..." Luke.
October 31.
The day of Halloween arrived.
The party would start at eight o'clock in the evening at the party hall where the Rave'N dance of Wednesday's series was held.
"Stop looking at the clothes and get changed at once. We're going to be late," Xavier said, looking at Luke, who was looking at a pile of clothes and accessories on his bed.
Luke looked at Xavier, who already had his costume on. He had slightly greenish skin, large grim-looking clothes, and ripped. He had scars and stitching on his face and neck. He had disguised himself as Frankenstein.
For some reason, he ended up arranging to go with Xavier to get the girls. That is, Enid and Bianca. Then they would head to the hall.
"Okay..." said Luke, taking the outfit and going to the bathroom to change. He was to see himself in the mirror. Enid gave him the outfit earlier today. She also gave him makeup and explanations on how to use it.
Twenty minutes later Luke emerged from the bathroom.
He was wearing a Victorian-style black form-fitting suit with a long cape that reached down to the floor. The cape had a red interior. His face was paler than normal from the makeup Enid gave him.
He had dark shadows around his eyes and very realistic vampire fangs stained with fake blood. It was obviously the Dracula costume. Of the costume options Enid gave him it was the one he liked the most.
'It looks good,' thought Xavier. He had to admit that Luke's appearance was very good, which was why there was such a stir when he arrived at Nevermore. Coupled with his success as a writer and his last name it was a great combination. The only bad thing was his horrible personality.
'I don't know how Enid was able to convince him to go to the dance with her. She has my respects' thought Xavier amazed at Enid's social skills.
When he heard that Luke would be attending the party he couldn't believe it. Let alone that he was going to wear a costume. Only he and friends in Enid's group knew Luke would be attending. When they arrive, they will surprise a lot of people.
"Let's go get the girls. It's already late. You took too long," Xavier said as he walked towards the door.
"Putting on makeup isn't easy," Luke said, justifying himself and following Xavier.
They walked at a hurried pace towards the girls' dorm called Ophelia Hall.
"So, do you like Enid?" asked Xavier, curious. He didn't think a person like Luke would be interested in dances and girls.
Luke grunted in response. He wasn't planning on starting a conversation about his love life, if you could call it that, with Xavier.
"I'm just asking, man. Enid has a completely different personality than you," Xavier said, explaining himself. Enid had a cheerful, enthusiastic aura about her and was always happy and with a smile.
Luke, on the other hand, was the complete opposite. The only smile he might show you is if he's mocking you or sarcastically. He usually has a scowl on his face and a frown on his face.
"You and Bianca are also very different," Luke commented. Although he hadn't watched them much, he knew them from the series.
Bianca was the typical blustering, arrogant popular queen. She cares about being at the top of the social ladder. Xavier, on the other hand, didn't seem to care much about those things and the only similarity was that they were both popular. Besides, Xavier was kind and always willing to help his classmates.
"It's true. I guess opposites attract," Xavier said with a shrug.
Luke for the first time agreed with Xavier, if only a little. He knew he accepted Enid because he knew from the series that her personality was authentic. Otherwise, he wouldn't have opened up to a person who is friends with everyone, because he would consider it fake.
As it was a special occasion the boys could enter the girl's dormitories. That is if to the common room to wait for them. When they arrived, they saw Bianca and Enid sitting in an armchair in silence.
They were the only ones in the room. All the other girls had already left for the party with their partners or friends.
