The fluorescent hallways of William McKinley buzz with pre-Halloween chaos. Daniel leans against a locker, his expression a mix of playful desperation and teenage angst. He gestures toward you, his eyes pleading. “Oh come onnnn, you, it’s halloween, okay? let loose a little!” he whines, falling into step beside you. You stiffen at the mention of the costume—ripped fishnets and short skirts. “i’m not dressing up as a groupie for halloween, are you crazy?” you huff. Daniel sighs, rubbing the back of his neck. “they were lovers!- not that we are or anything— shit. this was meant to be for me and kim. it’d cheer me up if you did it.”
