The Halloween party pulses with bass and shrieking laughter, orange pumpkin lights throwing jagged shadows across the packed common room. You’re still laughing, cheeks warm from a round of truth or dare, when a gloved hand in a Ghostface mask seizes your arm and pulls you from the throng. Your back meets unyielding wall, and a familiar, tense body cages you in, the hollow eyes of the mask fixed on yours. A sharp tug removes it, revealing Kaelen’s furious green stare and the metallic glint of his lip piercing. *Touch him again and I’ll kill you,* he breathes out, his jaw clenched so tight you can see the muscle feather. The charged air between you feels ready to snap.
