DREAM WARDROBE: November - A touch of colour in the grey cold

Violet regretted not grabbing her coat as she ran out of the door, but didn't regret deciding to join her friends on the Ghost Walk through the ancient parts of the city. The roads were still haunted by the memories of Halloween just gone; fake blood stained the pavement and every now and again, some toilet roll still clung to the branches. Her bag was just big enough to hold the hipflask of whiskey that she was sharing with her best friends as they were told about murders, suicides and deaths under mysterious circumstances and by the time the tour was done, they were starting to feel the effects of the drink and the bars were just starting to get busy...

Jessy leant against the wall by the door of the party and glanced around. All of her parents friends were here and her cheeks had started to ache from forcing a smile all evening. She caught her mothers eye; the woman waved and Jessy forced another smile. She swilled the last of her cola in the bottom of her glass and finished it in one mouthful, putting the glass on the windowsill. Headlights of a car pulling into the car park caught in the glass and she looked up, trying to get a look at the driver when her phone buzzed in her bag.

"You said SOS?" read the text. 

She glanced around once more, slipped out the door and ran for the car.

Katie fiddled with the buttons on her phone and found herself looking through recent snapshots; friendly cats she'd walked by, food she'd eaten at restaurants, silly self portraits of her and her boyfriend.  Her boyfriend.  She was still getting used to that.  That boring boy, the son of one of her mums friends from the WI.  The one she was waiting for outside of his office on the high street.  That was the call she was trying to avoid making.  She finally found the number in her address book and hit the dial button.

"Mum..." she said, pausing.  "You were right."

DREAM WARDROBE: October - Halloween SPOOKtactular

Jessy took Olivia's hand as gave in to being dragged up the road to every front door on the street.  They'd set out for Trick or Treating after Olivia had come home from school already dressed as a ghost with one of their mums white sheets over her head.

They knocked at each door in turn and were given handfuls of sweets and chocolate; they were even given some pennies by the woman at Rose Cottage who had forgotten which day it was and felt too guilty to turn them away empty handed.

Jessy was getting bored of Trick or Treating when Olivia knocked at number 95 to find a party going on inside.  The boy that opened the door looked her up and down, smiling.

"Trick of Treat?" Jessy asked.

"A little of both." was the answer.

Emily drags her jumper over her head as she steps out of the light of the cars headlights and into the darkness of the woods.  Screams are heard in the distance and she can see the shadows moving through the trees ahead.  She crotches at the foot of a tree and waits.  The minutes drag by and she hears a beep.  Checking her phone, she sees a new message.
"I can see you..."
There's a rustle behind her and suddenly she's dragged into the foliage, kicking dead leaves up and screaming as hard as her lungs could handle.  She punches up and hits soft flesh, catching her attacker off-guard.  She gets free and runs.  Runs and runs; straight into his friend.  Emily throws up her arms over her head in defense as she's hit in the stomach with a chainsaw made of card and foam, ending up on the floor, laughing.
"Your turn to be Leatherface." says Chloe, with a smile.

Anya buckled her shoes and picked up her clutch as she headed out the door.  Every year since she was 8, she'd been invited to a house down the road for their Halloween party and every year she'd gone and been the brunt of the jokes; being shut in coffins, covered in gunge and made to eat spaghetti and eyeballs.  She looked up at the cob-web covered door of 95 and caught a glimpse of her friend walking down the street towards her.
"Do you mind taking a photo for me?" she asked, holding out a polaroid camera.
She leant on one hip and stuck two fingers up to the front door as Iona took her photo from behind.  She got out a marker and scrawled 'What you're missing, assholes. xo' across the bottom of the shot and pushed it through the letterbox and kept on walking, arm-in-arm with Iona, down into town.

DREAM WARDROBE: September - the end of the Summer of Love

Katie had spent three hours trying to make an outfit suitable for her first date with Oscar; cute but comfortable enough to handle the nervous touches, the laughter and awkwardness. As she sat and straightened her hair and put the finishing touches on her perfect pink pout, she realised she'd just had more fun dressing up than she would probably have with the boring boy her mum had set her up with.

Delilah winds her finger around her faded Seafoam coloured hair and bites her lip. She's been sat next to the prettiest boy in the world on the train for the last three stops. She knocks her empty latte cup and it bumps his hand as he's reading. He looks up - finally - and she smiles coyly. Hopefully the conversation will make it worth sitting on the crowded train for two stops longer than she had to.

Violet leans with her back to the bar and scans around the faces for her date. He's late... again. She slams back her Jagermeister and slings her bag over shoulder before heading for the dancefloor anyway. Anyone that keeps her waiting for more than 5 minutes isn't worth waiting for.
