Zara had been seeing Isuel a lot more out of detention as well. She had been keeping a close eye on him and making sure he didn't get picked on too much and if he did then she had a friendly "chat" with said people after school.
He and Zara got along pretty well, though she was never completely sure if he was alright with it. He always acred really jumpy around her, though he had gotten better at it.
The halloween festival was coming up soon and Zara was pumped. Halloween had always been her favorite holiday. Everything was dark, scary and you got candy. What was there not to like?
Isuel came to school early that day to help set up everything. Though he really didn't want to. But hey, they needed the help and Isuel felt like being nice. He told Zara about it and asked her if she wanted to help set up yesterday during detention. He was hoping she would come.
He walked into school and into one of the classrooms. It was the music hall so it was pretty big. For the next three days this was their schoolwork.
"Oh hey Isuel!" Ms. Potter said pushing up her glasses, her crazy hair everywhere as usual. "Hello…um, what would you like me to do?"
Zara was a little later than Isuel, as she had to walk, but she did show up. She quickly set her stuff aside and asked Mr. Kammin what to do. He jestured that a fence needed to be put up to boarder the festival.
Zara quickly hurried over there and began to help put it up. She loved doing this.
Isuel looked up at the sound of the doors opening, then upon seeing Zara walk in, a smile grew on his face. He didn't need to talk to her, even if he really wanted to. He went back to what Ms. Potter was saying. "Okay sear, could you bring those boxes into the guys over there," she says pointing over to a group of people over near the wall.
"Yes ma'am," he says with a smile, them heading towards the boxes, passing Zara on the way.
Once she finished she look up and saw Isuel. She smiled and waved at him. Zara looked more happy than Isuel had ever seen her.
While Iseul was carrying about three huge boxes stacked on top of each other, he spotted her waving at him.
He never liked to show off his strength or anything, but he liked to help people. So he didn't really care if anyone saw him carrying all of these boxes. He quickly hurried over to the boys, setting the boxes down, receiving a little punch in the arm by the boys, followed by a little laugh, which Isuel ignored. He turned and rushed over to Zara with a smile. "hey! I'm glad you came!"
Zara finished putting up another part off the fence just as Isuel walked over. "How could I not? This is the only time of year to help with this!" She said with a smile, placing her hands on her his after she got it up.
"Okay fair enough," he says with a little laugh. "Are you gonna be going to the festival? Or are you just helping out?"
"Oh! I'll be there! It's the one time of year by fashion sense looks normal!" She joked. "The real question is if you'll be going."
"well uh, yeah im going!" He says with a little nervous laugh. If Zara wasnt going to be going, he didnt really want to go.
He hated going to placed like that without people he knew.
Zara beemed. "Good. You going with anyone?" She asked as she began to hoist up the last part of the fence.
"uh, I wasnt planning on it." He says running his fingers through his hair. "oh, do you need any help with that?"
"Nah. I'm good. You should come with us though." Zara said as she pushe'd the last panel up.
"us? Are you going with anyone else?" He says looking at the panels, then back at her, wondering if she'll need any help with any think else.
"I was planning with going with my brother and Ava as usual but that might not happen." Zara said as she made sure it clicked into place. "Ava said she might stay home and Alyx for once has a date."
"Ooh okay. Uhm, yeah id love to come" he says with a smile
(Question. Who's gonna fall in love first?)
(Isuels a little oblivious and dense tho….)
(I don't know? LET'S FIND OUT!)
"Great!" Zara said, stepping back to admire her work with the fence. "Are you going to dress up?"
"Uh….like a tux or something? Oh, wait nevermind. Its a Halloween festival." He says with a little laugh. "I don't know what I would dress up as"
He always liked the idea of a matching outfit. But he didnt think Zara would like that. Maybe he should just be a weird skeleton dude.
"That's fine. Im thinking of maybe going as a pirate." Zara said turning to him.
"Really? That'd look good on you" he says thinking about what she would look like. Suddenly he thought of her with a long braided beard and an eye patch. And now he was holding in a little laugh.
Zara smiled. ”I think it would too. I've got some clothes that would go together well.” She said. ”Also, we should probably ask if there is anything else we need to do.”
His mouth opened, about to say something when she said that, then his eyes lit up when she did. "right…." He turned around loping for one of the teachers.
Zara asked one of the teacher if there was anything else they needed to do.
”Could you try to set up the fog machines in the haunted house?” Mrs. Crowley asked.
Zara nodded and headed off in that direction. She waited for Isuel to come along.
