Ghost Costume

You didn't even really know what to expect but judging from her words you were already terrified. You didn't even know if you wanted to open the tantalising bag that sat there temptingly. You gave Christina the most resentful glare possible whereas in response she just teasingly revealed all her teeth in a wild grin. Without looking to see what was in the bag you pushed your hand in and tried not to give your best friend any negative reaction to get pleased about.

What you took out was not exactly what you expected as it was just a simple white sheet. Sure a ghost costume was incredibly lame and childish but it was hardly embarrassing so what was Christina so excited about? You knew there was something you were missing and could feel your heart plummet slightly.

"Is, uh, this it?" I asked hopefully.

"That's all of it," Christina teased in a sing-song voice. You were missing something apparently! She was acting way too smug right now. But what? How humiliating could you even make a simple sheet be?

"Why are you acting weird?" You asked while still awkwardly holding the sheet in a bundle.

"Do you want a hint?" She responded still with that infuriating smirk plastered across her slightly freckled face, "I put exactly what you’re gonna wear in the bag."

"Yeah, this sheet right?" You say, knowing that you were probably sounding very dumb.

Christina let out a little laugh, "Yup. That sheet. Do I really need to spell it out?"

"Probably." You shrug.

"You said I'd get to choose your exact costume. You are only gonna wear that sheet. Like nothing else pal." Christina started giggling as you just stood there jaw-dropped, "That's the reaction I was hoping for! Oh my god, your face!"

She couldn't be serious. She totally was (the evil bitch) but you couldn't believe it! Did she really expect you to only wear a simple sheet? It was plain white and if it got wet, if somebody accidentally grabbed it or if a simple breeze picked up you'd be entirely naked! No way were you doing anything that fucking embarrassing! You didn't care about a stupid bet anymore. Maybe you'd been a little over the top the last couple of weeks but you didn't deserve this! But the stupid expression on her face made you knew that she wasn't going to let you out of this no matter how hard you tried to convince her this was ridiculous.

Didn't mean you weren't going try, "Really Christina? You want me to get butt naked under this fucking tiny sheet? No way! I thought we were friends!"

"We are! Which is why I'm totally going to make you do this." She said.

"How many people will be there tonight?"

"Probably our whole year. It just makes it funnier to me to be honest though," Christina stuck her tongue out at you teasingly, "You deserve this and more after these last couple of weeks. You've been absolutely insufferable and need to be taught a lesson. And you also need to learn to stop making dumb bets with me!"

You held up the sheet exasperated and tried your final defence, "I didn't even agree to this!"

"You totally did though," Christina said smugly, "I can show you the texts if you want. I specifically used the words exactly what I choose and you said yes dumb."

A lot of the time you wished you had chosen a better best friend. Were you really going to do this and embarrass yourself in front of the entire year? I mean, you had to stick to your word, you've never broken a deal with Christina before... but could you even do this?!

"Well go get changed buddy!" Christina laughed gleefully, clearing enjoying your misery.
