Usual Disclaimer Time: Even though this story almost entirely takes place in a high school setting, 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, I swear.
Author's Note: At the end of my last chapter I gave you, the readers, a chance to determine how this next chapter was going to go, with the opportunity to vote on a girl to appear in the first Halloween chapter. The votes came in fast and furious, and between the comments section and the e-mails I got, it came down to a close race between four contenders. Who will win and get an encounter with Ryan's cock on Halloween? I guess you'll have to read on. Thank you everyone for voting and proving this idea wasn't entirely crazy, I shall do similar experiments in the future I imagine! As always, if you're enjoying this, please, please, please drop some stars, reviews or shoot me some feedback. Though I may not always respond, I do love hearing from all of you and seeing that you're enjoying the series. It keeps me going and motivates me to continue writing more. You've all been wonderful and I can't thank you enough for all of your kind words and encouragement!

Previously, on Senior Year Memories: Preparations for Regan Hills High School's annual Halloween Scream carnival have sent nerdy 18-year-old Ryan Collins to call on a number of unlikely allies for assistance in putting together a haunted house. With Halloween fast approaching, Ryan patched up his semi-estranged friendship with his best friend Tori McNeil after having sex previously made things awkward between them, just in time for another crisis to pop up when religious girl Sophie Cusack threatened a protest of the Halloween Scream that might've threatened the fundraiser's earnings. With the assistance of friend and goth slut Josie Wong, Ryan met with Sophie at her church's Hell House in an attempt to convince her to cancel the protest. Through a number of pornographic contrivances, Ryan, Sophie and Josie wound up having a sweaty threesome that convinced Sophie to cancel the protest instead. Everyone walks away happy!

"Oh, for fuck's sake, Ryan! How many times? How many times have I told you not to fuck with my settings?" Tori exclaimed, waking me up with a well-flung pillow to the face. I laughed as she turned off her phone's alarm which I'd switched to the Halloween theme for the occasion.
"I thought it'd be festive," I responded, flinging the pillow back at her.
"Yeah, well I don't like waking up to thinking Michael fucking Myers is about to bust down my door!" Tori said, pushing a bunch of curly red hair behind her ear. She was mad, but she wasn't really mad.
How could she be on Halloween?
"I'm not sorry," I said, admiring how damn good she looked even in the morning. Sure, half of the wrinkles in her pillow were still embedded in her face and the oversized shirt and sweatpants were hardly flattering to her amazing figure, but the way that smirking smile crept through her anger, I was sure she was one of the prettiest girls on the planet.
"Good answer," she said, quickly kissing me on the lips.
"I thought so," I replied, kissing her back a little more softly, a little more lingeringly, letting the tips of our tongues play with each other. It was a nice kiss, until she smacked me in the side of the head with another pillow.
"I'm gonna potty, and after that we're gonna both brush our teeth so if we got any time to make out before breakfast it won't taste like a dumpster," she said, getting out of the bed and making her away across her basement bedroom toward the bathroom door.
"Sounds great," I replied.
"Good. And Ryan?" she said.
"Yeah?"
"Happy fucking Halloween," she said with a smirk, sneaking into the bathroom and closing the door behind her.
Lying back down on Tori's bed, staring at the ceiling, I still had to let it sink in that Halloween had finally come. This was normally one of the days of the year I looked forward to most, just because Halloween had always been fun, but this one was special, wasn't it? This was my final Halloween at Regan Hills High, and one where I was finally making something of myself. I had more friends, was having more than regular sex, and was helping run a haunted house at the school's Halloween Scream carnival.
When Puma Press editor Nadia Barclay first sprung the task on me and Josie, it felt insurmountable, but after a month of work with some great people, it finally looked like it might come together. Rose's sets were impeccable, Mallory had some great costumes and makeup designs, we had a great crew of dedicated people ready to work it Halloween night, and we'd even averted a last minute protest of the entire event that could've fucked the entire school over.
All in all, it'd been a busy month, but a damn rewarding one.
Now that we'd reached the actual day, there was some undeniable stage fright, but there was also excitement too, the culmination of a month of hard work that we could all finally relax after.
The night before had been pretty brutal, getting everything ready for the Halloween Scream, but once we were about as done as we were gonna get the lot of us crammed into the Puma Press offices and took a couple hours to watch Scream on the room's digital projector, eat pizza, and relax. It was Josie's idea, and though Nadia fretted over the lost work hours, everyone was happy for the distraction. It meant a couple less hours of work, and that we'd probably be putting on finishing touches right up until the Halloween Scream opened, but it was the recharge before the big day we needed.
I was so tired at the end of the night that I took up Tori's offer for a sleepover not so much because I wanted to fuck her, but because her house was closer to school. Crashing at her place was nothing new, but sharing a bed with her, curled up next to her as something between best friends and lovers, that was new, and it wasn't bad, not at all.
I heard the toilet flush and the water of the shower start up. Toothbrush in mouth, Tori swung the door open.
"Come on," she said, waving me over. I joined her in the bathroom, sharing the limited sink and mirror space with her as I used my spare toothbrush to scrub the morning away.
"So, gotta ask," she said through her brushing.
"What?"
"Something goin' on with you and Josie?" Tori asked.
"No. I dunno. Maybe. Probably," I answered. "That a problem?"
She shook her head, which at this range sent the wild tangle of her curly red hair almost into my face. "Nah. I think you two are cute, is all. Sure as shit better for you than Kaitlyn."
Seeing the opportunity to echo an earlier joke we'd made, I said, "Oh, come on, she's not that bad."
Spitting her toothpaste into the sink, Tori said, "You know what they say about people when someone says they're not that bad?"
"That they're actually that bad?" I returned, before both of us burst out laughing.
I spat out my toothpaste and rinsed in time to see Tori stripping off her pajamas, revealing her luscious, naked body to me. D-cup tits with wide, pink areolas, a pretty little pussy with a well-groomed strip of red hair above it, pale, freckled skin, and a nice, round ass, Tori McNeil was, and always would be, a sight to behold.
"So, you wanna join me or what? Save some water?" she said, stepping into the shower.
