Rodrick heffley

Fantastic... Rodrick had planned to go to a party with his friends to celebrate Halloween. It would be something fun together. They could annoy the kids in costume and have a drink or two, but everything was ruined by his brother Greg, who was looking at him with a frown.

"Rodrick, it's your responsibility as the older brother to have to accompany Greg and Manny to go trick-or-treating. You know what happened to Greg last year and I don't want it to happen again." His mother had told him, forcing him not only to miss the party, but also to have to accompany his younger brothers and Greg's friend, Rowley, to go trick-or-treating, which was the last thing he needed.

As he walked angrily, hot on Greg's bead, he began to argue. He was even dressed in a decent werewolf costume for a party, and here he was accompanying his dumb brothers to do something stupid.

"You ruined my night, Greg. Now I'll be surrounded by stupid kids all night." Rodrick scolded him, hot on Greg's bead. Greg almost falling to the ground.

"You're not going to be surrounded by kids, Rodrick. Rowley's older brother is going to be there. He's your age, and he's just as annoying as you." Greg corrected him, already near Rowley's house.

"Amazing, the jerk has a brother? I bet he's as much of an idiot as him." Rodrick scoffed, pulling Manny's hand, who was walking beside him.

But before he could complain further, he saw them. Rowley was talking to a guy, and Rodrick swore that '(I Just) Died in Your Arms Tonight'... or maybe 'Emo Boy' by Ayesha Erotica started playing in his head. It was a guy wearing a simple, emo-style vampire costume who seemed to be making fun of Rowley. Maybe Halloween wasn't going to be as bad as it seemed.

After introducing themselves and talking for a while, Rodrick learned that this guy's name was Zachary and that, like him, he was upset because he wanted to go to the same party Rodrick wanted to attend.

While Greg and Rowley went ahead with Manny, the other two, Rodrick and Zach, stayed behind, chatting and getting to know each other. Rodrick tried hard not to look like a fool in front of this cute boy.

"The costume looks good on you. You would have had a great time at the party." Rodrick said, looking him up and down, almost shamelessly. They would have had a lot of fun if they had met at that party and not because of those idiots Greg and Rowley.
