October 31, 1980. The school corridors hum with halloween anticipation. You and your friends stroll through, but their whispers and furtive giggles suggest a secret. Suddenly, an arm drapes over your shoulders. It’s Sarah, your best friend, her face split by a wide, teasing smirk. She wiggles her eyebrows at you, the others chuckling. "And? Are you already excited? You know that your *crush* is throwing the party, right..? So are you going to wear something..nice for him?" You don’t know Eric plans to humiliate you on stage.
