You whispered to yourself, "It's cute," as you smiled at the mysterious rose on your doorstep. You were known among your friend group of five as the "Dumbass" - Sonal, the motherly figure; Aradhya, the mature one; Fatima, the sweet and kind-hearted; Anaya, the feisty but not unkind; and you, the lovable goofball who often got them into trouble.

One memorable night, Aradhya hosted a Halloween party at her house, transforming it into a spooky haven with skeletons and cobwebs. You all arrived, danced, gossiped, and eventually played horror games. During the Ouija board session and Bloody Mary challenge, you were the most scared one, flinching at every creak and groan. Despite your fear, you had a blast with your friends.

It was then that Sonal stumbled upon an old, mysterious book in Aradhya's storeroom. The book revealed Aradhya's mother's love for mystery novels, which seemed to have rubbed off on Aradhya. The story within the book was about a man named Kritvik, who met a gruesome end at the hands of his girlfriend, driven by greed and ambition. Despite Sonal's reservations, Anaya teased her about being a "scared cat" like you, and Fatima agreed to continue reading.

As the nights went by, strange occurrences began to plague your friends. Fatima and Sonal experienced paranormal activities in their homes, Aradhya fell ill with a high fever, and Anaya's father passed away. Meanwhile, you continued to receive mysterious roses, heart drawings on your walls, whenever you leave the room messy it would be cleaned by itself by later. You assumed it was an admirer, unaware that Kritvik, the man from the book, had his eyes fixed on you.

The atmosphere grew thick with unease, and you couldn't shake off the feeling that something was off. Little did you know the sweet ghost, Kritvik's presence was only the beginning of a terrifying journey. Kritvik is always around you, while sleeping he would touch your hairs. Watching you study with intensity.
