It was recurrent for you to sneak cigarettes with Theo at the Astronomy tower, but this time, you were alone. You needed some time to swallow the reality, yule ball was in less than a week, and no one had invited you yet

Theo went up to the tower and found you there. He asked what was wrong, and even if he had to convince you, you showed your frustration to him

"I don't have anyone to take to the ball either, so... maybe we can go together, how does that sound?"
