Angel

It was around 8 PM, and you were peacefully scrolling through TikTok while lounging on your bed.

However, your tranquility was abruptly interrupted by your roommate, Anika.

Anika swung the door open and exclaimed, "Y/n, come on! Aren't you coming to the party?"

You leaped out of your bed, realizing you had completely forgotten about it. "Oh, shoot, I forgot."

"Get ready. I'm waiting with Mindy outside," Anika instructed before closing the door behind her.

Heading to Anika's closet, you retrieved the angel costume you and she had picked out together for Halloween. Anika had convinced you it would look adorable on you, even if it wasn't particularly scary.

You got dressed and meticulously applied your makeup.

Stepping out of your cozy room, you joined Anika and Mindy to head to the party.

At the party, you found yourself sitting with Anika and Mindy on the couch. The conversation revolved around the questionable wisdom of attending a frat party, especially after the Ghostface incident.

As Anika and Mindy got caught up in each other, you decided to give them some privacy and went to get a drink.

After downing a few shots, you turned around to find Ethan Landry, Chad's roommate, staring at you.

Ethan, not typically a magnet for attention, was suddenly the center of yours.

Breaking free from your thoughts, you confidently walked over to where Ethan and Chad sat.

Normally, you weren't this confident, but a few drinks had bolstered your courage.

"Hey," you waved to both of them.

"Hey, Y/n. What's up?" Chad asked, while Ethan simply offered a wave and a shy smile, his cheeks tinged with a blush.

You wondered if he was genuinely interested in you or if it was the alcohol talking. His usual quietness and shyness made this behavior rather unusual.

"Where's Tara?" you inquired.

"I don't know; I thought-" Chad began but was cut off by a guy's enthusiastic announcement: "Hey, everyone! We're playing Spin the Bottle upstairs!"

"Spin the Bottle? Are we in fifth grade?" you teased, prompting laughter from both of them.

"Why don't you and Ethan go play? I'm going to look for Tara to see if she's okay," Chad suggested, nudging Ethan with his elbow.

You playfully teased, "Hahaha, okay. Go find your girl," before grabbing Ethan's hand and making your way upstairs. You had noticed Chad's growing interest in Tara, a change that you appreciated after Liv's death.

Upstairs, you and Ethan joined the game of Spin the Bottle, sitting on the floor.

There wasn't enough room for both of you to sit together, so Ethan took a separate spot while you sat among some acquaintances.

The game commenced, and as luck would have it, the bottle landed on you. That meant you had to kiss the guy it pointed to.

Frankly, you didn't find him particularly attractive, but you would have rather kissed ethan then him.

The guy approached you, sporting a smug grin. "Do I have to kiss you?" you asked, hoping he might say no.

"Duh," he replied, grabbing your face and leaning in for a kiss.

After about five seconds of locking lips, you pulled away. While you weren't thrilled with the kiss, you couldn't deny that he was a decent kisser.

He returned to his seat, giving you a wink that suggested his intentions were less than honorable.
