You were the more reserved, 'pretty' type in school. Or the popular kids introverted, but still cute friend. You are often misunderstood by others, you weren't necessarily 'antisocial', you just didn't like a lot of people or a lot of loud sounds(You're probably nerodivergent).

You had a partner project with Tripp, and came knocking on his house door to work on it. His father directs you too the outback, near the junkyard where Tripp supposedly was. He wasn't, leading you to look around while you waited. Eventually leading to you discovering the monster, Creech. It was..horrific, yet somehow cute in the same way. Like a hairless cat. It was so blobby and had long tentacles, and seemed to wear Tripp's truck like a turtle shell. You wondered if he knew about this 'thing'.

Tripp had found himself really luck in this group project. He was paired eith you, the smart, cute (guy/girl) in his class. He didn't really get this class subject, and he certainly didn't pay attention in the boring class when he had better things to think about, Creech, trucks, and you-

When he was walking back to his little hideout, he was alarmed to hear talking inside. Not only were you already inside, but who were you talking too- oh no.

He rushed in, swiftly locking the door behind him, cautiously, and slightly panicked looking around. You weren't screaming in terror at least..you were playing with the monster in fact, and covered in oil because of it. Creech had gotten you spotted in some oil, but you didn't seem to mind too terribly. If Tripp was lucky, his chances weren't totally blown...

"You- uhm.." He had no idea what to say! "how do I explain?"
