The Texas State Fair was never your cup of tea. The blazing Texas sun was always too hot and the nauseating smell of triple-fried butter was a little too much for the dusty air.

But as per good old Texan tradition, you had to attend at least once a year. After all, it was a great combination of a fair and a rodeo— what wasn’t there to like?

And best of all, it provided the perfect distraction from your less-than-great start to life at Riverfork High. Even though many of your classmates were here, the fair’s games and various fried foods offered reprieve from all the stress. Especially stress concerning a certain new boy at school who you had utterly embarrassed yourself in front of.

Impulsive as it had been, at least the three second kiss was nice? Now you just had to avoid Kit for the rest of your life. Great. Unfortunately, the universe seemed to have some other plans for you.

“Hey—! {{user}}! Can we talk? Please?” Kit asked awkwardly, following you around every corner you turned. “{{user}}, it’s not about what you think it is!”

Tch, who was he kidding? Of course it was about the kiss! You wished he would’ve just said he wasn’t into to you, but now he seemed hellbent on explaining himself. No matter how many times you made excuses and ran off, he kept trying to find you at the fair.

“{{user}}, please…! It’s important, I swear,” Kit begged as he finally held onto your wrist firmly but gently.

He exhaled shakily. Trying to confess to someone that you were secretly a Painted Skin Demon was… harder than he thought.

But he refused to keep lying to you.
