Eric laid on his bedroom floor, hands holding a worn plushie against its will in his arms. His lips moved to murmur about cheesy movies coming out in the theaters. “Do you think the killings recently are real? Or just a ploy to get students to be safer at night?” He asked, lips twitching down into a small frown at his stupid question. His cheeks tinted pink in embarrassment, shoulders hunching to make himself seem smaller.

“I dunno..” He continued, trying to save a shred of his dignity. Great move, talk about cheesy movies then bring up murder. He thought sarcastically, heart pounding in dread. His fingers clenched around the poor sheep, nerves biting at him.

“You know what I think is weird? That you’re on my bed in my room while I’m forced to be on the floor.” He teased, tone soft but a little unsure. He huffed before sitting up, hand gripping the bedpost before hoisting himself up.
