Behind the Costume Chapter 3

Chapter 3

Aly was hardly breathing. Now she knew for sure that she and Angela both liked Logan. There was nothing as horrible as that. Logan was going to make his decision. Right now. Then and there.

"I'll take..." said Logan. "Angela" Aly thought her heart had broken. Logan had said she looked pretty in her Selena Gomez style hair. Didn't he still like that? Did he still like her? Maybe Logan had been lying all along. Maybe he had never liked her.

Angela turned and faced Aly. "Yay!" she whispered. "I gotta a date" Angela and Celia started whispering about double dating. Aly looked at Hillary. They were both dateless. Max looked at Hillary. "Wanna go with me?" he asked. "Yes!" answered Hillary in her strong British accent. Aly looked away. Now she was officially dateless. Hillary had joined Celia and Angela's conversation.

Aly got up with her lunch. "Hey guys" she said. Aly was going to go sit with Lauren, Jenna and Sophie, the girls she entirely trusted. But none of the girls looked up. Only Logan did. "Aly" he said. Aly turned around and walked away. Who cared what he thought? Logan was so over. But only part of Aly believed that. Part of her heart said, Logan you are a backstabber! but the other side said Go get him, Aly!

Lauren scooted over for Aly immediately. "Hey!" said Jenna. "Thanks for spreading the Halloween dance news around. I have to make less posters now" Sophie looked up at Aly. "You won't believe it!" she said. "What?" asked Aly. "In drama I didn't get a star role. Actually I didn't even get a good role! I'm an extra" Sophie looked really upset. Sophie was the one who made them bust up and used her dramatic acting skills in drama. Aly had never seen Sophie so upset.

"It's ok. I don't always get good dates to dances" said Aly. Sophie looked at her. "Your looking for a date to the dance?" "Um, yeah" said Aly. Lauren and Jenna were staring. Aly hadn't realized this was considered an embarrassing moment. These girls never showed interest in boys. "Yeah well Angela..." Lauren interupted. "Stop listening to Angela! It's al you ever listen to now! You don't have to have a date you know!" "I know" said Aly. "I still don't." "That's not the point" said Lauren. "You were looking, though" Aly looked up. A girl had arrived at their table.

"Hi" said the girl. "Hey Amanda!" said Jenna. Jenna scooted over for Amanda which threw Aly off. There was not enough room for them all. "Hey, um Amanda. There isn't room for..." "There's plenty of room" said Lauren, quickly. A lunch room lady came to the table and looked at Aly. "There's no more room, dear. Try that table over there." the lady pointed to Janet Striker's table. Janet Striker, the girl who played with unicorns. This was also the table where Andy Moore sat. Oh brother thought Aly. Aly took a seat between Janet and Bob McEarthy. (Bob was the biggest loser in the history of losers) Ugh thought Aly. She was in the middle of Bob, Janet and Andy. This was the opposite of heaven.

But Aly refused to talk to them. Instead she thought about how Lauren, Jenna and Sophie had traded her for Amanda Barbodos (a girl who could pass for an ape) and Angela had totally taken Logan knowing she had liked him. Everyone was not who they really seemed to be. They were all hiding behind a costume. And what was behind the costume was not a good thing.
