———————

Cloaked in the eerie visage of a Michael Myers mask, Arabella orchestrated her Halloween surprise at the gym. Slowly pushing open the doors, an ethereal mist enveloped her, adding an extra layer of suspense. Her gaze fixated on Demetri and Eli, standing unsuspecting near the punch bowl, as a sly smirk adorned her face.

Arabella, with a fake knife firmly gripped, embarked on a deliberate and silent approach. With each calculated step, she closed the distance until she was right behind them. A sudden scream pierced the air, causing Eli and Demetri to whirl around in terror. The shared scream echoed briefly before being replaced by Arabella's hysterical laughter.

In the aftermath of the prank, Demetri, perhaps in a mix of shock and instinct, placed a hand on his crouch. Arabella, still reveling in the success of her scare, unveiled her identity by lifting the Michael Myers mask from her head. Amidst fits of laughter, she couldn't resist teasing, "Oh my god, you should've seen your faces!" Demetri responded with a glare, the lingering tension blending with the lingering echoes of the Halloween fright.

Demetri's disgruntled admission, "I think I peed myself," only fueled Arabella's laughter. Turning her attention to Eli, who was on the lookout for a specific dirty blonde, she dropped the disappointing news, "I'm sorry to tell you, puppy dog, but Cameron's not coming. Her stupid parents grounded her." This revelation prompted a visible frown from Eli as his gaze fell.

Amidst the unfolding drama, Demetri, catching wind of Arabella's nickname for Eli, raised an eyebrow inquisitively. "Did you just call him Puppy Dog?" he questioned, his curiosity adding an extra layer of intrigue to the already eventful Halloween encounter.

Arabella's playful hum set the stage for some revealing banter. "Yeah, he stalks her around like a puppy dog. Even when they weren't friends yet, we would see him sneaking glances at her at each chance he could get," she divulged with a mischievous smirk. Underneath his Plastic Surgeon mask, Eli couldn't escape the telltale signs of a blush.

Demetri, in a protective mode, rolled his eyes and dismissed Arabella's claims. "No, he doesn't," he insisted. However, Arabella, arms folded and head tilted to the side, wasn't about to let Demetri speak on Eli's behalf. "Stop speaking for him," she shot back, a directive that caused Demetri to falter momentarily.

A tap on her shoulder drew Arabella's attention, revealing Luna and Ryan. Arabella's face lit up with a smile. "Thank god, you're here! I thought I was gonna be alone with these nerds!" she exclaimed, playfully singling out Demetri behind her. Luna laughed, adding her own touch of humor, "Arabella, you're acting like you like me right now! Doesn't sound right." she teased her.
