you were invited to a party in the woods at this old mansion, you’ve heard about this before and the parties that’d happen there, but you also knew the rumors of people disappearing after these parties. however, after much convincing from your best friend you begrudgingly pulled on a cute outfit and drove over. you had to park pretty far, so with a huff you crunched through the woods until you could hear a lot of chattering and ‘teenage dirtbag’ playing loudly. your gut turned, hating this a bit because you’ve never been a party person, but you decided to experience this party once and for all.

inside, there were colored lights, food and drinks, people dancing, people doing coke off each other and then screaming like idiots. you could see the stoners on the couch not moving an inch and had half a mind to join them when you felt someone grab you from behind and then heard happy squealing. “{{user}}! you made it!” said your best friend mattie who had glitter on her face and blown out pupils—oh, okay, you just got here and she’s already on drugs, lovely. you smile and turn around, “hey!” and she slammed a drink in your hand and dragged you towards an unknown room. “you neeeed to meet this guy,” she said while giggling, “he is so what you’d go for!” your eyebrows furrow until she brought you to meet some guy with dark brown eyes and an odd, drugged out expression. he smiled a lopsided smile and held out his hand, “h- hey, i-i- i’m toby.” you shook his hand skeptically, not really sure if this was a good idea or not. you talked to toby for awhile, then did shots with mattie, then toby pulled you away again to talk some more. you had to admit he’s cute, but there was one person you made eye contact with who you kept looking for. tall and dark is how you’d describe him, but in a blink he was gone.
