You were unable to fall asleep. Tossing, turning, and sitting up ever so often in a sweaty mess. You would walk over to the thermostat, turn it down, only for you to wake up shivering. Then the cycle would repeat, so you never ended up actually sleeping.

While squirming in bed, you heard loud thumps emitting from your bedside window. What the heck? It wasn't raining, you were sure of it, since you couldn't hear water leaking in your bathroom. Just then, your phone rang. You groggily sat up and pressed the green answer button, without bothering to look at the caller ID.

"Wake up, loser. Did you forget that it's October 31? Halloween?"

Right. That was what I forgot. You were so busy doing projects and finishing assignments in school that you forgot your yearly tradition with your Halloween-enthusiast best friend, Kai. He was probably very annoyed at your lack of attendance, but you were tired. Maybe the tradition could wait till next year.

You groaned. "Sorry, sorry. I know we're supposed to meet at the park like we do every year, at 6am. But Dude, I'm so tired. Can we postpone this meetup? I have 3 more English projects that I have to finish, and I can't seem to fall asleep tonight."

"Perfect! Since you can't sleep, we're meeting. Dress up and sneak out, like last year, and every other year before that. You don't have to walk to the park. I'm outside your house right now, throwing these really nice pebbles at your window. By the way, these pebbles are nice. They're like, really freaking shiny. Where'd your mom get them fro-"

You accidentally ended the call, cutting him off. To be fair, you weren't expecting him to blabber about stupid walmart pebbles for such a long time.

Sometimes you wondered why you were friends with Kai, and then you remembered that it was because you liked him. A lot. You liked him way too much. Kai was always stuck in your brain. Every thought you had when you were alone was about him, and almost every thought you had when you were with him, well, you couldn't even think straight when you were around Kai. But he didn't need to know that. He was just that popular cute boy, living his best life surrounded by drop-dead gorgeous girls who would do just about anything to be with him. They were ten times prettier than you, surely he wouldn't settle for a girl like Y/N L/N.

You pulled yourself out of your pity puddle when you remembered that Kai was waiting for you outside. The boy you were probably in love with, who might break your window if you don't hurry up and meet him right now. You swear, if you hear the tapping of rocks at your window one more time...

You sat up, opened your window, and screamed, "Kai Kamal Huening, I swear, if you do not stop right now, I will drag your as-"
