CARLYN WINDSOR HAD found herself at yet another party. With Chad Meeks-Martin being the jock that he was, he'd managed to befriend a ton of frat boys. That, in turn, meant the friend group was invited to a shit ton of parties.
Plus, it was almost Halloween, which meant even more parties.
Carlyn was dressed in a astronaut costume — a last minute grab from Spirit Halloween. Unfortunately for her (and her friends), with it being Halloween, that meant a ton of costumes with the mask that haunted her nightmares.
When she'd first saw someone as Ghostface at the party, she was instantly in fight or flight mode. She was sent back to that day over a year ago, and the stab wounds in both her left shoulder and right side became excruciatingly painful.
After being brought back to the present by Chad, a few shots, and some weed, she'd managed to calm down enough. Now, her mind was all fuzzy in the way she liked. She tried her best to ignore the costume, but every time she made eye contact with the white mask, her heart stopped for a second.
She was mindlessly dancing with a random girl dressed as Carrie, giggling as they moved. She was on the more social side this party (due to the alcohol and the weed) and had complimented the girl on her costume, leading them to dance.
"Yes!" Carrie cheered, clapping her hands excitedly. "You go, girl!"
Carlyn laughed, eyes flickering behind the other girl's head. She smirked at the sight — a guy dressed as a baseball player checking Carrie girl out. "Hey," Carlyn lightly poked her, pointing behind her. "I think he wants to dance with you!"
Carrie turned to see what Carlyn was talking about, smiling excitedly when she realized how cute the boy was. She then frowned and turned back to Carlyn. "Wait, but—"
Carlyn waved her off. "Go ask him to dance! He's cute!"
Zombie girl nodded. "It was nice meeting you!" she told her before she walked over to Baseball Boy.
Carlyn smiled as she watched the girl grip onto the boy's hand and drag him over to dance with her. Her eyes flickered over the crowd, trying to find the two boys she'd left somewhere.
Chad swallowed his shot before turning his head to his roommate. "Okay, go find Carlyn," Chad told the boy next to him. Ethan furrowed his brows but nodded. "And when you find her, ask her out."
