lil disclaimer: I love eben and all, but I needed an antagonist so- don't get mad.

Also trigger warning bc of language.


January 20th, an exciting date for most of the eighth graders at daniel's school. key word, most. The 20th was the school's winter ball.

Daniel was absolutely not excited. He hated school dances. Not because they weren't fun but because no matter what he did, he was shoved around by eben. The dirty blonde was the notorious, bully character, you could say.

When the time rolled around and the next dance was coming up, Daniel went, but he was always prepared for whatever could possibly happen.

The night of the twentieth came and Daniel and his friends, Corbyn, Jack, zach, and jonah, all piled into his mom's mini van prepared to have the night of their lives. None of them had dates so they all went together.

Daniel's mom parked the car and watched the boys crawl out of the van and run into the school. Daniel had stayed behind though.

"What's the matter, aren't you gonna go in?" His mom asked.

"Yeah, I just- nevermind." The brunette cut him self off and carefully got out of the front seat and gently closed the door, waving to his mom as he walked into the building.

The fragile boy walked into the gym filled with kids. Some dancing and enjoying themselves, while others moped around drinking fruit punch out of cheap plastic cups.

Daniel immediately got separated from his friends, seeing that he walked in five minutes after them.

He frantically ran around, trying to find them but it seemed like he was just running in circles, into a black hole of anxiety.

Daniel knew he couldn't be separated from anyone for less than a few minutes, especially in big crowds like this. His nerves over whelmed him as he stood in the middle of the middle of the floor, panicking, but no kne seemed to notice.

Eventually he found comfort in the presence of Jonah. But all feeling safety he had, quickly vanished when the taller went to grab a drink without Daniel noticing.

His endless cycle of anxiety continued as he looked for jonah but found eben instead.

"What's a fairy like you doing here?" Eben towerd in comparison to daniel. The younger now nothing but a mere speck of dust.

"Did you loose your little boyfriend or something? Huh faggot?" He mocked concern.

Daniel's breath hitched in his throat. He considered running away but his feet were glued to the ground.

"You wanna be a fag in this town, you pay the price seavey." Eben gripped his shoulders, shoving him all to hard, out of the side door of the gym.

'Seriously how is no one seeing this shit?' Daniel thought to himself before the wind was knocked out of him with a swift kick to the stomach from one of eben's friends.

After being beat to nothing, eben walked away leaving Daniel on the ground in the hallway as if he were nothing but an old hoodie on someone's bedroom floor.

Daniel never bothered to even try to ask for help, he knew no one would hear over the blasting music and loud conversations of the students trying to speak over the music but ultimately failing.

Meanwhile Jonah was frantically trying to find hus brunette best friend.

"Have any of you seen Daniel?" He asked to the group in a panic.

"No, sorry dude." Zach replied, turning to continue his conversation with Jack.

Jonah then sprinted into the main hallway. He took a sharp left and finally saw Daniel laying on the ground, looking close to death.

"Jesus Christ. What the he'll happened?! Are you ok?" Jonah scrambled to say as he keeled down next to Daniel, sitting him up against the wall.

"Eben." Was all Daniel could cough out without breaking his vocal chords.

"Look, I-I'll call your mom and we'll get you out of here ok?" Jonah said, reaching for Daniel's phone that had someone fallen out of his pocket and onto the carpet beneath them.

"This is a love song for a girl"

"Who will never know it's about her"

"Know it's pretty stupid,"


"but I'm much to shy to tell her"

"She's beaming, that smile, all the while"

"I'm all jacked up on my own throat"

"I guess there is no hope."

Looking out for you,,, joy again
