halloween; leafycynicaI

4

it was 7:30 when most of the guests got there.

calvin never understood that. why didn't people arrive on time?? did they think they were too cool to show up on time, or is it fun to play with the emotions of the party-thrower??

he wasn't sure, he just plastered a smile on his face as everyone poured in. he was actually really happy about the turnout, he only told his friend group of five about the occasion and they managed to get about fifty people there. crowded, but hella sick.

most of the people he recognized and he thought were alright; rachel levin, connor franta, and a few others that were from his classes.

everything seemed good until the fucking shithead daniel showed up, making his way towards calvin.

"hey, leaf," daniel smirked, looking around the house, "where's your parents?"

"oh, they're out of town, a business trip."

he smirked, "well, i'm gonna be live-streaming this whole party, if you don't mind."

"oh, um, i'd rather you not–"

"too late!" he had pulled out his phone, walking away to record people dancing or something, he honestly didn't know what was so exciting, but he ignored it.

calvin wandered until he found his friends talking. they all seemed like they were in their costumes. austin looked him up and down, "where's your mask??"

oh, right. he was supposed to be shy guy. he was currently wearing a crimson-red hoodie and matching skinny jeans ((don't ask why he has skinny jeans, nevermind red ones)), and blue shoes.

"i left it in my room, i'll go get it."

"okay, and if you see niall, will you please tell him to see me?" roman chimed in ((a/n: with a havent you people ever heard of)).

he nodded as he headed upstairs, quickly grabbing the mask, it wasn't anything special, just cardstock paper with holes in it and an elastic tie thing in the back to keep it on his head.

as he walked back down, he saw niall, wearing a very nice paintbrush costume. calvin laughed, leaning over the banister, his head right next to niall's.

"hey!" niall said, smiling at the other boy.

"hey, roman needs to see you."

the smile on his face immediately melted off, but he didn't think anything of it. they walked together over to calvin's friends.

roman smiled at niall and whispered something to him, niall nodding in understanding. roman grabbed his arm, pulling him away, but just before that, he looked right at calvin and softly muttered, "see you later tonight."
