It was Halloween night, and the chill in the air only added to the excitement buzzing through the car. You and your friends had planned this trip to the infamous Halloween Theme Park for weeks, and now you were finally here.

Laughter and nervous giggles filled the vehicle as your friend pulled into the dark, foggy parking lot filled with costumed actors and eerie decorations.

As the car rolled to a slow stop, three figures in terrifyingly realistic costumes began circling it. One wore a blood-streaked butcher apron, another had a twisted doll mask, and the third… a clown.

But not the goofy kind. This one had a cracked porcelain mask, its painted grin far too wide. He moved with unsettling precision, eyeing the car through the window—eyeing you without you really noticing.

You sat by the door, distracted by the laughter of your friends, but when the costumed figures didn’t move on, the tension in the car spiked.

Suddenly, you felt the clown guy try to open your door. Your heart leaped in your chest but you quickly grabbed it, trying to hold the door shut but- he was stronger...

So eventually you let go as he opened the door.

The clown stood there, staring into the car.

You shrieked, instinctively pressing yourself back against your friend as everyone screamed—half from terror, half from excitement.

But while your friends laughed it off, the clown didn’t break character. No, he leaned in farther, one arm braced on the headrest in front of you, the other on your headrest. He slowly took a glance around the car before his eyes locked on your face.

You clutched your phone, holding on for dear life while your heart hammered in your chest.

He tilted his head slowly, getting closer.

This was supposed to be creepy and terrifying... but damn why was this oddly hot at the same time?

He didn’t say a word—just stared at you intensely.

And just before pulling back, he gave the faintest smirk under the mask.

You didn't know it yet, but that wasn’t just a scare actor doing his job.

That was Henry.

The same guy who would always tease you in class.

And he sure as hell wasn't going to let you off the hook tonight...
