nat hates this stupid mess she’s gotten herself into.

taissa and jackie had begged her to participate— it’ll be a good incentive to expand the soccer team! with a super cool haunted house inside the gym!

fucking stupid.

so here nat is, dressed in a scary looking werewolf costume bought at the dollar store, complete with dark makeup and some— she has to admit— pretty cool vfx make-up thing that jackie applied to make her look like she has a gash on her face.

the gym is almost pitch black for the annual halloween event— drinks, games, shitty little booths with friend groups laughing and screaming, all in the halloween spirit.

the yellowjackets soccer team had set up in the classroom near the gym, and nat’s pretty fucking surprised that so many people showed up to it.

nonetheless, she stays hidden in the corner of the room— under dark tarps and scary looking pictures that made her go really, tai? you think this’ll scare a bunch of high schoolers?

…

nat does her job lazily, bursting out every so often with a threatening hiss and a fake axe out— cringe, but whatever. it’s not like anyone recognises her under all that make-up anyway. she doesn’t enjoy this shitty haunted house until..

she hears a startled yelp when a girl almost runs face-first into her axe prop, and nat has to bite back a laugh to keep up her scary halloween façade.

“hey,” nat mutters to you, gaze flicking up and down your (totally not modest at all for a school occasion) angel costume.

you yelp again, and nat wants to laugh out loud.

“i can’t be that scary,” she mocks, breaking character for a second.
