You were sitting on a step in the back, covered in red paint like everyone else. You could still hear the music from inside because even though some kids had played a tasteless prank and covered everyone in paint, it was one of the most important events at school, and so everyone started dancing again, everyone except you.

You'd only been inside for a little while because you were alone. You'd invited a random boy from school just to make Ajax jealous because he hadn't shown up to some sort of date you had last night.

But one thing you don't know is that he didn't show up to that date because he looked in the mirror and petrify himself and was too embarrassed to tell you.

As you were sitting there alone, you saw a figure, also completely covered in red paint, sit down next to you.
