Halloween?
The celebration was nearly foreign to Bianca. Really, she’d never tried to celebrate it. She had known there were Halloween parties at her old school. But, she’d never really been that interested. The dance had drawn her attention, and she had been working up the courage to attend. She’d bought a costume, straightened her hair, and sneaked out of her dorm to attend. Bianca had chosen to dress up as Alice; and even though she had been practically unable to afford the blonde wig that matched the dress, she thought she could quite pull the childishly innocent look the character should have. She had the dress, the long white socks, black shoes and an Alice band sat on her head - she’d even brought a white rabbit plush with her, and was now holding it tightly.
Actually, the dance had been only an excuse for buying that costume - Bianca had always wanted to dress up as Alice. She had practically begged her mother to make an Alice costume once, when she was nine. The dress had been intended for a play that she had wanted to audition for; but it had never been finished - Danielle had died before she could add the finishing touches. Then Bianca had been too sad to try and finish it herself. Now she had grown too old to wear that dress, but that didn’t matter - she was going to be one of her favorite characters ever for Halloween. That was awesome. To her, at least.
Bianca wasn’t entirely sure of what she was supposed to expect from the dance, though. Truth be told, she was nervous. A lot of people was attending to the dance… But, she had already decided to come, and spent money on her costume, so she figured, it was late for backing out. Sighing only slightly, the freshman walked into the gym, and stared around, taking in the place. It wasn’t really that different from the school parties she had attended to, before. The main difference was probably the fact that everyone was in a costume. It didn’t really seem that bad… it was sure better than staying in her dorm, that was for sure. So, with a nervous smile and slow steps, Bianca - or rather, Alice - moved around the gym, looking around curiously.
