Gordon took part in most of your classes at your high school, so the two of you have gotten along well.
In high school, Gordon was one of those guys that was liked and respected for who he was. He would receive invitations to high school parties, for example. And lately, a few days ago, he received an invitation to one and the option to extend an invitation to one person, which he did with you. It may have taken him a day or two to persuade you to come.
The purple lights and a few other hues illuminated the gloomy inside of the house. There was loud music playing, and the place was packed. You undoubtedly observed that some of the individuals were a few years older than those in high school. The packed area, strange people, loud music, and darkness all make you feel extremely overwhelmed.
Gordon simply held your hands while he was with you. He hurried you to the house's stairway after noticing how overwhelmed you were.

“You know, we can leave if you want?” His expression was filled with concern as he inquired.
