“It’ll be fun. Trust me.”

Famous last words, Cameron thought, but her gut feeling was washed out by the butterflies that erupted through her body. Once Regina grabbed her hand and pulled her further into the house, where most of her peers were getting shit-faced, it was like nothing else mattered.

Parties were never her thing; she would only go to make fun of people or take pictures for a yearbook project that didn’t really exist. But it was Halloween, a holiday that was all about candy and trick or treating - that is until you got older, and it became more about getting dressed in a sexy costume and putting your alcohol coated tongue down someone else’s throat.

Cameron tried to hide her face from the people around her. Regina wasn’t supposed to talk to her, let alone hold her hand in public. She was acting really strange tonight, especially after she texted Cameron when she knew she was with Janis and Damien. Cameron had to come up with some lame excuse of going home to check on her sister before biking her way to Aaron Samuel’s house.

Emergency, come quick. Followed by an address.

Regina and Cameron weren’t dating. They were…seeing each other. On an off, before school and after, at Regina’s house and at Cameron’s. Anyone with clear vision would be able to tell they weren’t “just hooking up”, but neither of the girls would admit that. No, they wouldn’t even admit it to themselves.

So now Cameron was following Regina into Aaron Samuel’s house, trying to hide her blush as she kept her eyes away from Regina’s very revealing bunny costume. And Cameron nearly forgot the text, the one where Regina claimed an emergency, because Regina was now pushing her into a bathroom and placing her strawberry lip gloss flavored lips on hers, taking Cam’s hand and moving it onto her waist. Cameron’s vision got foggy, and her mind went blank, and she did the only thing her body would let her: she kissed Regina back.

It took an unknown amount of minutes and a loud knock on the door to rip Cam out of her fog. Regina did the same, taking some time to apply more lip gloss (where did she even have that?) and walk out of the bathroom like she wasn’t just making out with a very confused Cameron.

Cam, though, was pretty used to this. And the fact that they were “just hooking up” made up for Regina’s sometimes emotionless attitude. But this time, her kisses felt strange, almost desperate. Cameron couldn’t put her finger on it, but she exited the bathroom soon after and wandered around the teen filled halls, dodging other make-outs and excited drunken slurs.

What she didn’t expect to see was Regina and Aaron talking. Last time Cameron checked, the two weren’t really on speaking terms. Cameron blinked as Regina turned on her typical charm. She didn’t really react, to be honest. The party was super loud and maybe she wasn’t seeing right, maybe it was in her head. But that was all shoved away when Regina leaned on her tippy toes and kissed Aaron, planting the same strawberry lip gloss that Cameron could still taste, on his lips.
