(Usual Disclaimer Time: All the characters in this story are 18 years old or older, and since we're living in the wide wonderful world of porno-land here, where clichΓ©s roam free and things might get a little unrealistic from time to time, please remember it's all in good fun.)
(Author's Note: This story is my entry to the 2023 Halloween Story Contest at Literotica. While it references characters and places from my ongoing Senior Year Memories series, this is a STANDALONE spin-off story created for this contest that does not require any knowledge of the series to enjoy; I'm trying to make it its own fun thing and aim to provide all necessary context. So, while some details may be familiar to longtime readers, it is meant to be accessible to newcomers as well.
Further, I want to thank my readers who helped select the story's cast, as well as congratulate my reader Patricio. for suggesting the name of the male lead (which I drew out of a hat, among other suggestions). As always, I want to give special thanks to fellow Literotica author Lil_kitty for her excellent work as my editor and acting as a second set of eyes on this chapter, and for letting me know what did and didn't work; if you get a chance, please check out her work and drop some stars if you enjoyed, she writes some very hot and fun stories.)

"Officious little prick."
All it took was those three little words. Well, two little words and a bigger one that did little to improve 18-year-old Gwen Savage's already foul mood. It was Halloween night, and with the streets dark and glowing with jack-o-lanterns and decorations, Gwen knew she should've been in the kind of festive mood that Halloween always put her in. Unfortunately, she'd drawn the short straw to be the night's designated driver, so things started off in a pretty miserable state. Though most of the trick-or-treaters had gone in for the night, there were still some out there, and she didn't need to be missing one not looking both ways before crossing the street in front of her because Sasha *fucking* Pearl had to throw out two little words, and one big one and making Gwen think harder than she wanted to tonight.
"What?" Gwen asked, lowering the volume on the car's speakers and (quieting "Don't Fear the Reaper did little to improve her mood) looking in the rearview mirror at her fellow Regan Hills High School cheerleader.
And Sasha was probably her friend, she guessed.
As ever, the willowy redhead with the unstylish glasses could've been mistaken for a fucking nerd if you didn't know how hot she was. Gwen was certain that Sasha's slutty Little Mermaid costume, combined with her hot body, was sure to get her some dick tonight. Sitting behind Gwen, she leaned forward to better get her point across.
That she was clearly already a little buzzed, even before the party, did little to settle Gwen's annoyance of having to be the "responsible" one.
"'Officious little prick'. That's what Jackie called Mr. Ullman after he tried mansplaining when she could and couldn't go to the bathroom in math class," Sasha explained. "And she's right, I mean, he had no right doing that."
"Who's Jackie?" Gwen asked, more annoyed at having to ask follow-up questions.
"Nice girl. Brown hair, decent-sized boobs, walks with a bit of a limp? She's smart, so she probably doesn't travel in your circles," Sasha chuckled sheepishly, eyeing the girl who sat next to her in the car's backseat for backup.
The stacked Latina, and fellow cheerleader, Jade Alvarez, was wearing her own take on a slutty Snow White costume (which Gwen had to say she was fucking *rocking*), looked from Sasha to Gwen, gauging the room before giving her own response. Seeing the blaze in Gwen's eyes, Jade soon turned her attention back to Sasha.
"Come on, that wasn't very nice, Sasha," Jade said, her voice friendly yet stern.
Chastened, Sasha turned her attention to Gwen. "You know I'm just messing with you, right? 'cause I'm a little buzzed? I didn't mean to make it seem like I thought you were... fuck..."
Sasha looked convincingly miserable, which gave Gwen a little thrill. She knew that people thought of her as a bitchy, big-titted blonde, and that she was hardly the smartest girl in school, and while there were times where it felt fine to joke about it, tonight was not one of those nights. As much as she was Sasha's friend, being called dumb by her, even jokingly, tempted Gwen into considering leaving her on the side of the road to walk the rest of the way to the party.
As usual, it was up to Jade to play a rather apt peacemaker. "She really didn't mean anything by it. Sasha?"
Jade eyed her redheaded friend sternly. Nodding, and understanding that she'd clearly pissed off their designated driver, Sasha leaned back in her seat.
"I'm sorry, Gwen. I didn't mean to piss you off, or be a bitch, or, fuck, man, I'm sorry. I just wanted to share the moment and let it make me stupid, but don't let my stupid make your night worse, yeah?" Sasha said, smiling that huge, goofy smile that Gwen always claimed to hate, even though it secretly warmed her heart.
Gwen rolled her eyes. "Whatever. It's Halloween. Good night for some fuckups, and you could've fucked this one up worse."
"Well, I'm still sorry," Sasha replied, leaning forward to squeeze her friend's shoulder. "And you're still the best, and making a huge and awesome sacrifice for us tonight, and we love you for it, and I'll do whatever it takes to pay you back."
"You can start by telling me, uh... that thing she called him?" Gwen said, trying to steer the conversation back on course.
After a moment of trying to remember where they'd left off, Sasha suggested, "Officious little prick?"
"Yeah, uh..." Gwen said, trailing off in her bitchiest tone, not wanting to admit that she didn't know a word.
Thankfully, without having to say it, her friends understood that side of her.
Jade reached up behind Gwen and put a calming hand on her shoulder. "Officious means an asshole, like, a guy who can't stop sticking his nose where it doesn't belong and thinks that he's the end-all, be-all of hot shit and big ideas."
That helped it click for Gwen, and though it did little for the bitchy sneer on her face, as she lined up the word with her impression of Regan Hills High School's least favorite math teacher, she agreed, "Yeah. He *is* an officious little prick."
