Camila's POV
I drew in a breath as my hand slowly inched closer to the door. I heard voices on the other side of the door that stopped my hand in its process of knocking.
"But maybe we were a little hard on her I mean she's just a kid. She's still finding her way," mom said.
"Finding her way?! And that is sleeping with girls? No way. I didn't raise an abomination of a daughter. I would have preferred if she was with a drug dealer. At least then he would have been the opposite sex," dad raised his voice. "Camila is a disappointment to our family. She has tarnished our good name with her despicable acts. Who knows what else she has done with those females."
In that instant, all my previously acquired confidence left my body and was replaced with tears.
I bit my lip as I slowly left the hotel. I barely made it into my car before the water works came. I didn't bother trying to fight the tears. I just placed my head on the steering wheel and sobbed, letting out all my anger. All my pain. All my sorrow. All my everything.
Lauren's POV
I went to my room and collapsed on the bed and closed my eyes. All this Camren drama, as Dinah and Mani calls us, is tiring me out.
A soft thud landed beside me but I kept my eyes closed. "Yes?"
"Wear this," Dinah said, referring to my body suit I had bought a few days earlier with her.
"I can't I'm tired." "Ugh!" She groaned plopping herself down on my bed. "Please," she leaned in my face so close that I could smell her cherry lipgloss.
I opened my eyes to see the desperation in her eyes. "Fine," I agreed and got up to go shower.

Third Person POV
"Has anyone seen my heels?" Mona asked, smoothening out her maid dress.
"I'm really surprised that I'm the only one not dressing like a slut. No offense," Hanna said, putting in her earrings.
"Um offense taken. We're not dressed like sluts. It's just that we're going by the rule, less is more," Emily smirked. "Besides Ali is dressed pretty modest."
"What about Ali?" Alison entered the room with her four besties. "You and Hanna are the only ones not dressed skimpy," Aria commented, adding her lipstick.
Ali chuckled and shook her head.
Cece's POV
I finished getting my outfit together when Blake stepped into my room. "How do I look?"
"Whoa. Hot mama!" I whistled. "You don't think it's too much?" "Oh it's definitely too much but that's a good thing." She laughed. "I love your coustume. Can you take my temperature?" She stuck out her tongue playfully.
"Sure," I held out the thermometer. "Your temp is 120 degrees you are burning up."
We both broke out into a fit of laughter. "Are you guys ready?" Spencer asked. We stopped laughing and turned our attention to her. "Who are you supposed to be?" Blake asked.
"Isn't it obvious?" She did a mini spin. "Uh-uh," we shook our heads. "I'm Elizabeth Taylor," she said. "Oh," we said in unison.
"Let's go," Spencer grabbed her phone and we walked to the gymnasium. Monsters by China Anne Mc Clain was blasting from the speakers.
"Ooh I gotta get me some food cause I am starving," Blake said. "I'm gonna go mingle. Find me a cute guy," I smirked.
Spencer's POV
I kept walking backwards looking around at the already full gymnasium. "Liz Taylor," the name rolled so easily off her tongue.
"Only you could pull off a costume so perfect," she whispered into my right ear. I felt the goosebumps forming on my skin.
"Aria," I breathed out. "Have you been avoiding me?" She asked with a hint of sadness in her voice.
"No. I just was... busy." I hate how I hesitated. "Busy with Toby?"
How did she know about that? "It was just a friendly outing. Nothing more." But was it though? I mean I did enjoy hanging out with him and it was technically a date but I can't tell Aria that. Can I?
Until she cleared her throat, I hadn't realised that I didn't answer her. "Yeah but it wasn't anything serious just a few drinks and karaoke."
"Did you kiss?" She asked, and I coughed. "Um I'm gonna get a drink." I hurriedly walked away, trying to avoid the questions.
"You okay?" Hanna asked me. I chugged the rest of the fruit punch. "Yeah. I'm perfectly fine. I promise."
"Okay but if you wanna talk about it I'm here," Hanna offered, eating a piece of shrimp. "Great costume by the way." "Thanks you too," I said.
I thought about it and turned to her. "Okay so I went out with Toby the other night and I had a lot of fun plus he's super cute and he gets me."
"Buuttt," she urged for me to continue. "But Aria and I have like a weird connection and she sees me you know and people never have before," I looked down, fiddling with my fingers.
Hanna put a hand on my shoulder, causing me to meet her eyes. "Well do you like her or him?" She asked.
I had no answer. "Now that's the question you need to ask yourself." She patted my shoulder and walked away. I sighed and grabbed some fruit punch and spiked it.
I know I said no more drinking but desperate times call for desperate measures.
Camila's POV
My girls were just about to leave and of course DJ had to be begging me to make an appearance but I can't. Not since this afternoon. Since my parents practically disowned me.
"Mila it's not gonna be the same without you come on please. The rest of us are going."
I shook my head. "I'm sorry DJ just bring me back some food and take some pics so I can pretend I was there."
"Are you sure?" She asked. I nodded. "Positive." "Alright well don't wait up." "I won't," I smiled.
Alison's POV
I stood beside the food table, watching the whole party decor. My team did an excellent job and everyone seems to be having an excellent time.
I gotta thank Noel. Through the crowd, I could see someone watching me. In a Jason costume.
Weird.
Camila's POV
I sat up in bed, scrolling through instagram. One of the girl's I was following, added to her story. I clicked on it. It was with her friends. The four of them, were singing loudly to a rock song. I noticed they were dressed as DC superheroes. Cute.
I watched another story and another one. The decorations looked sick. I absolutely loved them.
I took a quick shower and walked into my wardrobe, staring at my long straight red velvet dress with my red cloak, contemplating going to the party.
Everyone was going. Maybe I should. It might take my mind of things.
I decided to go. I straightened my hair and did my dark makeup. I put on my cloak and slipped on my dark red boots.
I smiled at my reflection. I looked hot. I went to my bathroom for my fangs. I had ordered this outfit online two weeks ago. I planned to go as a vampire. I let the glue dry in my mouth for twenty minutes before I left the house.
Suddenly, walking into the room, I felt on cloud 9. I pushed open the gymnasium doors, as all eyes landed on me. I smirked at everyone and walked straight to the food table where I spotted DJ.
"Mila you came!" She screamed, capturing me in a bear hug. I coughed and pushed her off me. "Yeah. I decided not to sulk and at least try and enjoy myself."
"Good," she said.
Alison's POV
For ten minutes straight now, I have been watching this person in the Jason costume, watching me from across the room.
I felt cold metal push my hair behind my shoulders and I jumped a bit.
"Scared love?" Noel asked. "Damn it Noel!" I pushed him. "Not my fault you scare easy."
"Hey did you see someone over there watching me? In a Jason costume?"
"No. There was no one there." "I'm positive."
"Well forget about it and give Freddy some love," he smiled. "Eaasy there Kreuger." He held my waist and turned my body a bit to him, placing his lips on mine, but I was still looking behind me.
"Come on Ali," he turned me fully around and I connected our lips. I stopped instantly when I saw Em watching us.
"Hey babe I'll be right back," I kissed his cheek.
"Hey Em. I can explain." She dropped her shrimp and walked away. Before I could respond, the music cut and someone spoke.
"Hello children. Tonight we are gonna play a very special game of hide and seek." The distorted voice gave off a creepy vibe in the dim lighting and the creepy decor.
"But it's not your regular game. No tonight we're gonna gonna have some fun because we are playing hide and seek of death."
